There’s a girl that I like, Courtney. I met her on a mission trip. Even though I’m a year below her, we got along really well and talked a lot. She talked to me one night on the trip about her troubles while we sat on swings in a playground, but I think she just wanted to talk to me.
We had to go to a youth meeting after that, so we walked back together and all my friends and peers saw us talking, and rumors started that I liked her, which was true anyway.
But one of my friends on the trip, who was my friend for months before the trip, started hogging her and clinging to her endlessly. It annoyed me to no end, because he just lied about stuff to impress her. He wouldn’t let me anywhere near her.
I asked her out 2 weeks ago, and she turned me down, because she already was talking to someone. I was really relieved when it wasn’t my friend, though, but now we aren’t talking too much anymore, I avoid him, and when we do, it’s stiff and artificial.
But now I’ve gotten over Courtney.
