So I have this guy that I’ve liked forever. Like in kindergarten I told him I liked him, anyway I’ll give you the backstory.

In 2nd grade I started “dating” him. ( I was in 2nd grade it doesn’t really count) and we like did all those things we thought were what couples did like kiss. One day in third grade we were like. We should go on a play date as we haven’t in awhile. So we asked his mom and told him “do whatever you want” at first he didn’t believe her so he asked her if she was serious and she just repeated it. So we went to my mom and planed a 30 minuet play date. His mom didn’t come to pick him up. We called her, no answer, went to her house no answer. Finally after a few hours his dad came and said it was a mix up. We knew it wasn’t.

After that day I saw him crying at school. We didn’t talk and our friendship was over. We had the same friends so he was alone and was scared his mom would see us together. After 4th grade I left for two years to improve my reading and writing abilities at a different school. In grade 7 I came back and we were in the same class we didn’t talk but I realized I still had a huge crush on him. I’m now in grade 8 and we are friends again, I’m so happy I really missed him. I’m also pretty sure he is the only nice guy in our whole school.

I was with my friend awhile ago and she asked me who I was taking to the school dance. I thought about telling her about him, but I knew I wouldn’t have the courage to actually ask him. So I asked who she was. She said him. I felt awful but I knew I didn’t want to lose her as a friend so I helped her ask him out. She did and he said yes. They went to the dance but were too awkward to dance till the last song. I spent the whole dance talking to him, as a friend, and trying to help them dance together.

It’s been awhile since then and I can’t stop thinking about him. I don’t want to lose my friendship with him or my other friend, but I really like him.
