I wanted to submit my story a while ago, but I could never figure out what to write. Now that couple in the picture above is no more so I can’t tell of how much we love eachother. So I’ll write about how we met and became a couple.
This is my ex-boyfriend and I. We were together for about 2 1/2 years, and we’ve known each other for about 6 years now. Being shy, we never officially met until after a year of being friends. We talked over AIM everyday and night. I wasn’t really interested in him because he was a grade younger than me. But he grew on me, and we became basically best friends. He told me he liked me, but I still wasn’t really interested. He was so persistent. I thought it was cute. So I gave it a shot. We dated for 6 months in middleschool (though I wouldn’t really call it dating back then), then broke up. I didn’t think it would work the following year when we attended different schools. That day came when I moved onto highschool, and he was still in middleschool. We still kind of kept in touch, but AIM was dying, so we texted sometimes. I could tell he still liked me. I told myself I wanted someone older, someone more mature. That never happened. The following year I became a sophomore and Cody became a freshman. We didn’t see eachother for the first 3 weeks of school, but I did see every single one of his friends. I decided to visit my Freshman history teacher during lunch which was right next to the lunch room one day, and it turned out Cody was in that class. It was awkward. More awkward than you can imagine. I ran out of the class when the bell rang to get to class, and just to avoid any more awkwardness. He chased after me. He asked me where I was going. Band. I asked him where his next class was and he said it was on the way. He lied. He just wanted to walk with me to my class. Everyday from then on, I waited for him after lunch and he walked with me, though I did get angry at him several times for being late to his class. We started to hold hands and people got curious, but we weren’t together. Towards the end of September, my friends and I went to a JV football game. September 28, 2008. I invited Cody so that we could hang out. After the game, we all sat on a ramp by the pool. I still don’t know why I asked but I blurted out “Ask me out.” He said “If I do, will you say yes?” I said “No, But ask me anyway!” so he asked me out..and I said yes and we shared our first kiss. Why we broke up isn’t something I really like to talk about. But we’ve had a great 2 1/2 years. He won’t believe it but I’ll always care about him.
