Who Was It With? 

My best friend, met in 5th grade, broke up that year. Now in 8th.

When Did You Realize It was Love? 

When she was with somebody else, I regretted letting her go.

What Did It Feel Like? 

I couldn't stop thinking about her. We talked 24/7, we hung out a lot. she then broke up with me. She went out with my friend that was a player. Broke up with him. I was her shoulder to cry on. We stayed friends through a lot. Sixth grade, I met a girl that was her friend. We went out in seventh and broke up. My best friend was mad at me. Now it's eighth grade. We got really close. I realised when I came back to her school that she liked me. I was gonna ask her out at school one day and the same friend that was a player asked her out. Now I have to deal with her liking somebody else. Everything seems duller now.:(

What Happened Next? 

It turned out that when I came back in eighth grade that she did like me and we would have went out. She talks about my player friend a lot and makes me sad. I might go to the same high school as her and tell her there but I would never mess up one of her relationships. We have our close moments but the story isn't over yet. If we stay in the same school, all I know is that I will be happy. I still never told her after 4 1/2 years.
