      The story

Growing up I wasn’t a pretty boy like “Jason”. He had all the girls in class to his beck and call. He was a very handsome child I won’t deny but I wasn’t too concerned with him because I had “Aliyah”. My childhood crush.

To me she was the prettiest girl in class. She had this big brown eyes, long curly hair and the prettiest smile. Did I mention she smells like flowers? Oh I didn’t ? Well she does. I was too young to know for sure what love is but perhaps I was already in love with my best friend.

For the longest, I thought she felt the same turns out I was wrong. I was going to meet up with her some days before prom which would give me the opportunity to ask her to be my girlfriend and prom date.Guess I was too late. Turns out Jason already asked her and she said yes. She was so excited to give me the news and I smiled like I was happy for her when she told me and yes I was happy that she is happy but sad because I had lost her.

What was worse? I had to pretend like I was okay with “Jason” taking away the one thing I valued that he didn’t have. It was a scary moment in my life because I had to lock up my feelings no matter how strong they were. I couldn’t hurt my best friend just because of mere “feelings”. It’s sad I know.

     The end.
