On October 14, 2009 I decided to tell the guy that I had liked for 3 years how I felt. From the moment I woke up I was planing what I would say to him. I had invited him to go to a haunted house for Holloween, 13th Gate.

We had been friends from the moment we met. His name is Terry. He was, and is, the best guy I’ve ever known.

I felt confident that day, I woke up and the first thought in my head was, “I’m going to tell him.” Terry had often been my first thought lately. It was now or never, I chose now. I talked to hime on the bus that morning and thought about him through my first three classes. I was talking with my friend on the way to my third class when my best friend asked me,”Do you have a thing for Terry?”

I told her, though I’d have rather it been a suprise. She jumped up and down in joy that I’d found someone that she aproved of and that I’d know and liked for so long. She told me how she’d started noticing how I act around him. It was something that I accepted easily, I had been with him more often and would stare at him.

So after explaining what I was going to do she decided that if I got to scared that she would make me do it. When lunch time came around two other friends came to me and I let them in on my secret. I looked for him for a while then found out from Terry’s close friend that he was in the band room (He plays the bass drum- witch I think is awesome because music is like my soul). So we- all three of my friends and me headed that way. When we got just outside of the door I stopped, my insides seemed to twist up. My friends nearly had to pick me up to get me in there.

“Can- can I talk with you Terry?” were the words that came out of my mouth. He nodded and came into the hallway with my friends and I.

“What’s up?” he asked and I couldn’t find my words I could only stare into his amazing clay-green eyes with star like shapes of a darker green.

My best friend cut in when I said nothing and, I hate to put it this way but, ruined it more than I could have. She said, “Terry, she has to tell you something! She has liked you for a while now, you know, like kidnergarden, likes you.” He stared at her like she’d just punched him in the face. Shock.

I felt my eyes tear up a little when he looked at me with pitty. He said, “I’m sorry but I only think of you as a friend.” I put on my best mask, smiling and saying that I was fine.

Later when I got on the bus he came and sat with me. He looked me in the eyes and asked, “Is what she said true.”

I looked away and nodded. I made a sound that let me know that he understood. I asked if he still wanted to go to the haunted house and he said that he “wouldn’t miss it.”

~flash foward~

Terry and I were in the back seat of my dad’s car on the way to the 13th Gate. After getting lost we finally found it as we walked to the etrance he let me hold his arm.

Through the whole thing I held his hand tightly. There was one part where a man with a chainsaw made him almost fall while I tried to run, still holding his hand…I didn’t get very far… Even after we got out he continued to hold my hand. The whole way to his house, which was 2 hours, he held my hand strokeing his thumb over my hand.

The next night he and my best friend came over for Holloween. We watched movies and played games. During the Corpse Bride he put his arm around me.

It was little signs that were showing that he was starting to feel the same about me. On the 8th of November I invited him to go to my little cousin’s b-day party. I finally gave him to the answer to his last riddle. The answer was lips…

We where playing in the boucey house, pushing each other down. When I pushed him down for the 3rd time he grabbed my arm and pulled me down. Our lips met in the most passionate kiss I’d ever had. That night he kissed me 12 times, yes I counted.

The next day at school, noting seemed to change. It nearly broke my heart. It was like that the whole week, I didn’t know what to do. I invited him to go see 2012 with me, he agreed.

November 14, 2009…

Through the movie, he held my hand would give me a quick kiss every once in a while. After the movie, while in the car he let me lay across his lap and would kiss me softly. My dad stopped at a store and got everyone a water. Terry took a sip of his water, leaned down and let it trickle into my mouth. I pulled away looking into my eyes and said, “I bet none of your other boyfriend did that.”

Xanadu by Rush began to play (A song about paradise. It was on a CD).

The shock must have shown on my face because he chukled and I asked, “Does that mean your finally my boyfriend.”

He smiled and nodded. I sat up and gave him a passionate kiss.
