We met in high school in 2013. Before that, I was aware of (obsessed with) Alex for about a month, and he knew it. We finally started talking when he walked right up to me in the middle of the Willowbrook foyer.
A: "Hey, um, I like your My Chemical Romance shirt."
O: "...... Wow, um , thank you so much!" *uncontrollable giggles*
We started to become friends, and I was introduced to some of his friends. Then, a lot of his friends quickly told Alex how annoying I was when I talked about him, asked about him, asked if he liked me, etc. He always defended any complaints and warnings, and he found my infatuation flattering instead. We would've stayed together since then, but I had a lot of growing up to do. Did I mention I was a freshman, and he was a senior at the time?
