This is my boyfriend and I:)
Here’s the thing… I used to follow this blog wishing that one day I would be able to have a post on here, but I knew that would never happen. I was a senior in high school, and I never had a guy ask for my number, ask me out on a date, kiss me.. nothing. I was just some girl in high school that just hung out with her friends, read books constantly, obsessed over her grades, and constantly asked herself what was wrong with her that no guy ever liked her.
Then, this guy came out of no where and swept me off my feet:)
He’s a grade younger than me, but we’re the same age. (My mom decided to put me into kindergarten a year early.) Second semester of my senior year, we had a class together, and I never talked to him before. One of my best friends was in that class, and I would just talk to her constantly, and what do you know.. he was good friends with her, too. So, that’s how we started to get to know each other. Us three would just sit and talk and talk and talk all class. This boy would literally crack me up every minute of this class. He’s seriously the funniest guy in the world. I would love hearing his stories and listen to him joke around with all of his friends. He was just always so much fun to be around.
I knew that he was a bad kid, though. He partied all the time, he didn’t care about school, he drank, and he smoked. He was known by everyone as the kid that would be at every party and getting so drunk and high. I was the complete opposite of this. I was the straight A student throughout high school, I hung out with my friends on the weekend at each other’s houses having movie marathons, and I just never understood the party life some people maintained throughout high school. While he was out getting drunk, I was with my friends playing pranks on each other or studying for big tests and focusing on college. Our lives were completely different.
I knew he liked me. I knew it, knew it, knew it. It’s really weird, but we became really close through an iPhone game called Words with Friends. One day in class, I scooted his desk all the way to mine and made him play with me since he was the only one with an iPhone that I knew in that class. He was being so weird, too. I could tell that he was nervous being so close to me. I can read that boy like a book, even now, even though he won’t admit it:) To play the game, I put my number in his phone and found each other on the game through that. We played constantly. Once one of us played, the other instantaneously played back. Then, we would start writing each other on the little chat they had on the game. Then, I would tell him to just text me because it was way easier. I knew he liked me, and looking back now, I know I liked him.. I was just scared to admit it. He would do the cutest things. He begged and lied to his mom to get money, so he could buy cookies from me when I was doing a fundraiser. He would text me all the time. He would talk about how he wanted to hang out and how funny I was and how I turned any boring situation into a fun one all the time.
When our mutual friend from our class confronted me one day and told me she had to talk to me about something, I beat her to it. I knew she was going to tell me that he liked me, but I knew it from one of the first days we knew each other. I really can read him like a book. When I told her I knew, she freaked out and told me how we HAD to date and how he changed for the good and how we would be the cutest couple ever.
My answer to all of this? No. She told him it was because I would be in college soon, and I didn’t want to start a relationship so close to me going to college. He missed the next day of school.. My heart was broken. I really didn’t realize how much he liked me, and I realized that obviously, if I felt so hurt that he wasn’t there and so bad, I had to have feelings for him. I realized how much I look forward to our class together every day. He was the cutest guy, could make me laugh over anything, and made me feel insanely special 24/7. I knew I liked him, but I just screwed everything up.
We still talked through all of this. We acted like it didn’t even happen. I liked him.. so, when he flirted, I flirted back. I started inviting him to hang out with my friends. Every weekend, we would manage to be together with our friends, and we would have so much fun. I invited him to go to stuff like the talent show with me, which was the night I got my first hug from a guy:) He asked me out on a date, and we watched a movie together and drove around for a while:) I finally told him I liked him one Friday night after we hung out, and he freaked! It was the cutest thing ever. It was really late, and I texted him this, and I told him I wanted to sleep! He told me goodnight, and how he wouldn’t be able to sleep now because his 11:11 wish came true. 11:11 wishes were our thing because I would make sure he would make a wish every night on 11:11.
A couple weeks after all of this, we were hanging out on a Friday night with one of his friends and one of mine. After hanging out until midnight, my friend and I went to my house to sleep, after a night of windowchalking a bunch of our friends. At about 3 in the morning, he came over to my house and chalked my car asking me out:) He wrote, “Will you go out with me? :)Kyle 11:11” I woke up that morning, got in the car, drove to his house, and I chalked his car saying, “Yes!”
We’ve been going out for about six months now, and I must say I’ve never been happier. Everyday, I am so thankful that I have such an amazing guy to call mine. He treats me so special, and I just love him so much. I know it has only been six months, but I’m sure we’re going to be together for quite a while:) All of our friends are obsessed with us going out, and they always freak out when he kisses my head or hugs me when we’re with them:) I’m so happy I decided to take a chance with him. I seriously never would have ever expected that we would end up together, but everything happens for a reason:) EVERYTHING:)
All throughout high school, I had been making the same 11:11 wish. It was to fall in love and to be wanted by a perfect guy. I’m so happy to say that my 11:11 wish did come true. So, girls.. do not settle for boys who treat you wrong and just use you. Do what I did and have faith and wish for your prince charming to come and find you. Dreams and wishes do come true once you have some faith. You’ll fall in love with the perfect guy one day:)
So, hopefully, this will get posted, and my dream of being able to be on this blog will come true. I love every story on here.
I love you, Kyle:) <3
