Dating a boy or girl for 11 years might seem like nothing to most people. But, for me its a lifetime.. literally.. considering i am only 17 years old.
I met my boyfriend in Kindergarden.. we also live down the street from eachother. Iv had a crush on him for as long as i can remember. I think hes the first boy iv ever liked. Or at least the first one i can remember ever liking.
We were both only just 6 years old when we started to date. So obviously, thats a immature relationship. We would sit at lunch together and sometimes hold hands. That was the extent of our relationship. We dated the rest of elementary school and intended on continuing it in Middle School although we didnt really think anything of it.
Middle School came and with that our relationship broke apart. I hardly saw him and didnt care much about it. But, after 3 months of not really even talking to him i figured things were coming to an end. That suspision was proved correct when after 4 months in Middle School i found out he had started dating another girl. I remember not caring too much, but still having a bizarre feeling in the pit of my stomache. They broke up shortly and just as that happened i began dating another boy. Nothing happened with that and we broke up soon later. Me and him started talking again and we dated in 7th grade for 8 months. It was an amamzing 8 months filled with more laughs than you could imagine. But in the end, we were just to young to last. 8th grade was a blurr and High School was on the horizon. During that summer i saw jordon alot and we became Best friends. We were at eachothers houses all the time and we shared so much with eachother. I felt like no one would ever know me like him. When i looked to the sky, somthing told me he was mine. He made everything alright. One summer night, both of us being hellons, we snuck out late to vandalize our other neighbor about a mile down the road. I felt something with him that night. I knew i missed kissing him more than anything, So i leaned in and kissed him. He gave me an odd look and the next day told me that us being friends was better because he had too much going on.
High School began and i thought nothing of him but a friend. I began hanging out with a certain group and we all got alone well, him included. I began getting notes in my locker from a mysterious boy. I would flash them around and we would all laugh about it. But i always noticed that in jordons eyes, he was furious. So i stopped joking about it, but continued bringing it up to get him jealous.
My love notes were still coming in like no other. I had a relationship with this boy who would not tell me his identity until apparently homecoming of 11th year. So i went to the game with my group of friends including my elementary love. We waited forever and eventually i grew annoyed and watched the crowning of yet another ugly senior. jordon had disappeared as usual and most my friends were gone. Suddenly i heard laughing and cheering all over the stadium, the place was in an uproar. People began looking at me as i sat on the bleechers behind my friend. The screaming laughing and cheering continued on for a few more seconds before finally, curiousity caused me to stand up to see the fuss. I stood up slowly and to my suprise saw a boy running down the feild naked with a large banner on him and only his butt showing. There were guards chasing after him as he screamed and swerved all over the feild. It was Jordon. There on the banner was written. " Iv always loved you Amy, and always will, Will you marry me?" I felt like i was in a romance movie. I ran down the bleachers scream "yes!" at the top of my lungs. That moment still defines romance for me. Sure he was naked , soon after arrested and suspended from school . But nothing will ever compare to that moment for me.
We are now seniors and Jordons moment has gone down in history. We are by far the longest couple in our school. Were still engaged, but because of my request we are waiting to wed for 3 years. We can make it, after all.. we have survived 11 years. I think 3 is going to be ok. I love Jordon with all my heart and i cant wait to marry him.
Thats my story.. with much much more to come.
