How I met Prince Charming

Walking into a new school can be very intimidating. It was the first day of high school... I was so nervous and hardly knew any upper class men. Everyone says your high school years go by so quick. I was ready for that. 

I had got the nerves out around lunch time but didn't know where to sit. I had a few friends that I had lunch with so I wasn't quite that nervouse. In the middle of lunch Dylan Hall came over and sat with us. I was good friends with his younger sister and knew him pretty well from sports and other friends. He brought his friend Jimmy Osgood over with him. Dylan had talked about him a few times before but I didn't really put to and to together. We all talked, but I couldn't keep my eyes off of this Jimmy kid. He was tall and thin, he looked muscular, he had pretty blue eyes, and an adorable laugh.

After talking to a few friends about this Jimmy kid, I realized I had a pretty big crush on him. Around the third day of lunch, I fell in love with this kid. He never knew and very few of my friends knew. (I had a friend that anyone I liked, she liked, anything I did she had to do, one of those copy cats... So annoying.) Once I got his phone number we texted none stop. He also texted that copy cat friend and I told him what she does and he said she seemed like that kind of person. He knew she liked him but felt bad for her. (Funniest moment ever. We both laughed at that, and still do.) He had a friend that he liked that went to a different school. That didn't stop me though. He texted me probably more than he texted her. One day I asked him to choose between her or me. He said her... Saddest day of my life. But I knew they wouldn't last, their relationship was like a middle school relationship. On his birthday my mum and I made him cookies. For my birthday I told him I wanted a hug. Sure enough I got it! He always flirted with me even though he was "dating" someone. Whenever Dylan would do something and hold my hand he would get so mad. When I had a water bottle at lunch he would hit it to knock it over. At night we would talk until 11 o'clock and tell each other different things about us. I had so many cute messages saved from him! But sure enough a few weeks before valentines day him and his friend broke up! I told my mom and we were both so excited.

On valentines day in 2012 we were at a home varsity girls basketball game and he said he was going to bring me home. He picked me up in the back of the school on the corner. As soon as I got into his car my eyes widened. I was so nervous. I had the biggest butterflies in the world. The whole ride to my house I couldn't stop smiling. Once he pulled into my drive way, he missed it and started driving on the lawn. I tried not to laugh, I knew he was embarrassed.

Once inside I told my mom about those huge butterflies, she just smiled. When he got home he texted me and told me he had those butterflies too. He said he wanted to hold my hand but didn't know what to say. On the 21st we planned on going to Bangor to watch the tourney games but before that we were going to the car wash to wash his car! That was our first kiss. I was so nervous I thought I was going to die. He unbuckled his seat belt, gently touch my face with his right hand and pulled me in. His lips were soft and comforting. His kiss was full of passion. My butterflies were right in my throat. We probably kissed for a good 20 seconds! After our kiss. I knew we were meant for each other. The first time he told me he loved me I about passed out. 

On February 23rd we were laying on his couch and his mom was on the computer. We were cuddled next to each other and he said I know you want to be my girlfriend, do you wanna make it official? I smiled so hard and said yes. I probably sounded like a two year old but I was so excited. 

We've now been dating for two years and I still get butterflies around him. Whenever I'm with him we are always smiling and laughing. These last two years we have both learned and changed. I can honestly say I love him, I trust him and he is my everything. My life without him would be unbearable. I know I'm in high school and he's in college, and things can change, but we are meant for each other. I thought him going to college would be hard, but it's not at all!

This was taken my Freshman year, his Junior year. <3
