I Think I Might Be Falling for My Best Friend

When I was in 5th grade, I moved to a new school. This new school was a small private catholic school, and was a preschool-8th grade type of school. The next four years from 5th to 8th grade were good years, as the majority of the teachers and students were nice. There was a girl in my grade named Liz, who I became good friends with. We weren't exactly best friends, and I wasn't as close to her at the time as my other friends, but we were still friendly to each other.



It was nearing the end of 8th grade and everyone was really getting ready for high school. There are two popular private catholic school in my city, one is an all boys school and the other is an all girls school. Typically, most of the kids from my school usually end up going there, but I didn't. I ended up going to a public high school. Me, along with Liz were some of the few people who ended up going there.



Liz and I then started seeing each other more, by talking and carpooling a lot. I started to know more about her, since I didn't know her as well back then at my old school. However, things were starting to take a turn for the worse. When I was with her more, I started disliking her. I starting to realize how much I found her annoying and irritating to me. She wasn't mean or anything, but what I disliked was how she was always a complainer, and lacked common sense. I then tried to see her less. If I saw her walking the hallways, I would walk another direction. If she waved at me, I wouldn't wave back. If she texted me, I wouldn't respond as much. If there was a party, I would consider not going if I knew she might be there.

Looking back, I feel REALLY bad for how I acted, and I feel as if I took things WAY too far. Liz is a nice and sweet girl, and I can't believe how I wasn't able to see that. All she was trying to do was to be nice to me, and I couldn't even return the favor.



In fact, perhaps she was too nice to me. My mom was starting to think that she liked me. When she told me, I started believing too. The fact that she was always nice and bubbly with me made me wonder if she did.



It was then sophomore year. By this time, I started to realize how we were extremely compatible with each other. I started liking her. I started to appreciate her more that year. Sure, she still annoyed me at times, but it became less of an issue for me. One day, she invited me, along with a few friends, to go to the movies together. None of our other friends were able to make it, so it was just me and her. I actually enjoyed this little "date" between us. It was the first time we had a romantic moment together.



Another romantic moment was the time when we both got ice cream together after school at an ice cream shop. I imagine it as if it was yesterday, we were sitting next to each other, smiling and laughing together, and enjoying our ice cream as if we were a couple. This day made me open my eyes and realize that I want to be with her.



It was now the middle of March of that year. This was when I heard very bad news. She was going to be moving schools. The reason why she was going to a different school was because of the fact that she had little to no friends, and that nobody seemed to like her, as she told me this herself. This made me really sad and disappointed.

When I heard the news, I then started feeling angry at myself. I shouldn't have avoided her at any time, I should have hung out with her more, and I should have made her feel as if she would stay because of me. I truly do miss her. I miss talking to her in the hallways, I miss carpooling with her, and I miss how sweet she was.



Liz and I are actually a lot alike. We're both really nice people, we're both tv and movie fanatics, we're both geeky people, and we both understand each other. Another good thing is how both of our families know and like each other.



Have you seen the animated film "Shark Tale"? Remember how Angie always wanted to be around Oscar? Remember how Oscar would never notice? Remember how Oscar didn't realized he liked her until after she was kidnapped? I guess you can say that's me and Liz.



I have seen her 2 times since she moved schools and I'm still in love with her. I want to text her, but I don't know what to say. We only live 10 minutes away from each other, but I can't drive. Nonetheless, I still have hope.



Liz is the type of girl who I want to be with. She understands me, she's sweet, she's cute, and she's treated me like no other girl has before. I want to hug her, I want to kiss her, I want to cuddle with her, I want to get married with her, and I want to have kids with her. And here I am right now, sitting in my bedroom as I'm typing this, wishing that she was sitting next to me like how she was in the ice cream shop.



I love you Liz. Maybe one day we will be together.
