first you find a boy that has a book that you really want to read convince him to let you borrow it once you have it, hopefully he will ask you all about the book and ask you if you're in love with the main male character yet he will also tell you to look up different songs and artists (you love this and love that someone finally has the same interests and views as you) you keep in mind that he just broke up with his girlfriend of (almost) 2 years and you have to know that he probably won't want to date you (but you slowly fall for him anyway) he begins to explain how he doesn't have enough data on his phone to constantly DM you, so you get his number too excited, nervous, anxious and happy you text him immediately, as if the conversation never stopped you cry over the book you call each other names from the book and do their "okay? okay" thing a million and 2 times a day you talk to him 25/8 you're falling in love with this adorable human being and you can't stop you see him at school every day but god if you even think about trying to say one word to him your heart races and your stomach flips and you can't muster the confidence to do it you give back the book and say that it made you cry like a ***** but he gives you another one that he's been talking about and another and another and he tells you about his favorite movie in the world Like Crazy and you love him. like crazy. and you quote the poem that Anna read to Jacob and he says "I'm in love with you" and then summer comes around and you guys talk literally every day and he gets a job and you don't talk as much and he starts talking to his ex again because he actually loves her and your birthday comes around and this is when you have your first conversation with him in person and you want to run up to him and kiss him when you see him but you know you can't your heart races when you see him smile and you just get lost in his words he leaves and you regret not kissing him (you didn't even hug him or walk him out or say thank you for coming) you still talk a lot he still loves his ex you two are now best friends school you have your license and a job now (SWEET) and you tell him and he wants to know if he can have a ride to school of course you say yes you want to kiss him every morning and every evening before and after school you love him a lot but he still loves his ex and you guys start to hang out a lot (sometimes even 3 or 4 days a week) and you think that you'd get tired of someone but honestly you would look forward to seeing him every day and the days you didn't see him you looked forward to seeing him even more and he's at your house one day and says he wants a girlfriend you want to say (jokingly) "what about me?" but you know you can't. so you suggest one of the prettiest girls in school. and of course he says okay. and you set them up and you tell her to give him a chance and you get them to go on a date and you think this will help you get over him but you just can't you can't get his words out of your head you constantly replay all the things you told each other over the summer you constantly remind yourself that you love him but you will never be with him second semester at school at your job a new kid comes in he's adorable you start to like him instantly you forget all about the other boy when you're with him and then you find out that the boy from work likes you too so you kiss him and he says he wants to go on a date with you but then he bails on you and you're upset you're hurt once again and you don't really talk to the boy you fell in love with that much you two were best friends you barely talk or hang out now it kills you to see him and his girlfriend together but you just want him happy you find out that he too, wrote a poem about you and him and you find out that he loves you and you find out that one day he does see you two dating and now all you do is wait
