This is cute, I hope more people reply lol I wanna read stories too. mine is pretty long and very cliche tbh
I’m not sure when I started liking him but I think I finally accepted it when he didn’t walk me home for two weeks because his basketball coach changed their practice schedule and it coincided with the time I finished my work at the school library. I was walking at the spot notorious for being next to the backyard with two really large dogs that would bark at whoever comes near, he used to pull at my uniform and we would run past the yard while the dogs barked at us. Anyway, he wasn’t there but I still ran but I guess my body was used to having someone to turn to at the end and laugh because I turned to my side but he wasn’t there and of course, that got me sad.
At that point, he had already confessed to me a year prior when we were sophomores but I liked someone else (it was his basketball team captain but he didn’t know that lol) when he first said it. He used to walk me home everyday then walk back to our hs which would’ve taken close to an hour. Once i figured out i liked him back, it was pretty hard to hide since I usually wear my heart on my sleeve and my friends pretty much knew as soon as I blushed when he walked past us with his friends and he waved at me (i never blushed from that before lmao). Anyway, it worked out. It’s been a few years since we graduated from high school and we’re still together
P.S. i know i said cliche but I didn’t realize how much it sounded like a typical hs relationship movie until i wrote it down lol
