Hey all,
Being a sophomore in highschool can be really stressful, but I can't complain because it's really fun. I've met and made alot of friends, have gone to the parties, and have also been part of the drama that follows it.
Right now, the girl I fell in love with who was my best friend, is now ignoring me. She's done so for about 2 weeks after I gave her my mind after she kissed me and...apologized for it later. I told her I felt played, because she kept on leading me on...but she said I pushed her. There's alot of drama, confusion, and nonsense mixed in between all of this, but I guess that's what love is sometimes. I sent her an email last night apologizing and telling her I'd like to continue being her friend, but she continued to ignore me today and I wonder when she'll ever come around.
But besides the drama, I'm keeping my grades up and am enjoying the times that I'm having at my highschool. I couldn't have asked for better and I hope my Junior year, next year, will be just as fun.

Ah, Wade, the drama of the heart is part of the enjoyment of it. You are one of those old souls... and that's why you seem to be weathering the drama better than most. I've had a lot of drama in my life, but none of it was ever intense. Usually it makes for good stories later.
Glad that you have seen the good side of this time in your life. If people don't see both, they are tipping the balance dangerously, and missing the lessons that are right in front of them.
Happy spring, Wade!

I don't know if it's just getting past me...I'm just trying to move on. But the kiss had to have been one of the most romantic times in my life. Because after having taken the girl to the movie, we went back with her cousin to her apartment and as her cousin made spaghetti me and the girl began wrestling around on the carpet. I told her she couldn't pin me down. Well, finally she did and there I layed on my back with her holding my hands down with hers and her hair covered both of our faces and I could see her smiling down at me and then boom, she kissed me. Then, she layed her head on my stomache and watched t.v. lol But...there was alot of feelings and emotions behind it. Something which is hard for her to show. And that's why it's hard letting go because I care deeply for her. Now, I've just got to make adjustments and move on.
I know I'm learning lessons through all of this, but like trying to read the girl's signs...I can't really tell. But I know they're there and I'm trying my best.
Thanks Rose.

Wade,
Hi!! It's so weird, because I've been in a situation similar to this. I met a guy about a year ago, and we became very fast friends. He was in a grade higher than me so we didn't have any classes together, except for one which was mixed grades. We would find time to talk in between classes and would call each other after school. Soon, we were hanging out after school and after time, became practically inseperable. After a while, I realized I had fallen in love with him. He was the first guy I'd ever had these feelings for and it was amazing. He would always hug me and hold me and tell me how "beautiful" I was. It seemed like he had the exact same feelings for me as I did for him. However, it did not turn out that way. A few weeks later, he got a girlfriend. Now, I was extremely hurt by this, but I knew that I had to be a good friend and atleast try to be happy for him. When he called me up and told me how excited he was, I tried my best to sound excited for him and happy, but I felt sick to my stomach. He told me he had to share this with me because I was his closest friend and he would be filling me in on everything that happens. What he didn't know though, was that I didn't want to know what was going on between them, it just was so painful for me. However, the worst was yet to come. As school went by, we started talking less and less until we didn't talk at all. I missed the emails, the phone calls, everything so incredibly much. When I would see him in the hall, he looked so happy. It was like I didn't even exsist to him anymore. So one day, having had enough, I confronted him about it. He told me the reason he hadn't been talking to me was because his girlfriend felt "threatened" by me. She thought that he and I were "too close." It was upsetting to know that he would let a girlfriend get in the way of our friendship. I was so upset I just walked away. After that, we still didn't talk much. He would call me, but I was just too upset to talk to him. I wasn't as upset at the fact the he had a girlfriend, I was more upset that he was ignoring me like that. I just did not understand how he could just throw away what we had, you know? Well, it's been about a year, and him and I are talking again, we've even hung out a few times. We are still good friends, but I know we'll never be as close as we were. Some days when I think about all that has happened, I almost cry. All I can tell you Wade is that I totally understand what you're going through and I hope things work out! And you're right...highschool is tough! :)

Wade,
Firstly, I can appreciate how you feel in regards to the young lady in question. Relationships between men and women can be difficult at times because, and here's a real 'news flash', we are hard-wired differently. The teenage years are a trying time for many; and contrary to what some misguided folks may tell you, they are not the best years of your life. Life becomes really fun once you are into your twenties and beyond; because then you are old enough to play with all of the adult toys, and you are making your own way financially/professionally. Relationships become more sensible, as you mature, because most folks (I said most, not all) are very up-front about what they are looking for. I have a feeling that once she truly thinks about what you want versus what she wants, she will desire your friendship above all else. Time is on your side, it is okay for both of you to step back and 'take a lap', before talking about what both of you want.
Secondly, ten years from now you will find that to be in a situation, where two women take you back to their apartment for dinner, is not all that bad...

I have to agree with "the Sarge" here. High school is NOT the best time in your life; in fact just the opposite is true. It is a time of trying to find where you fit in and wondering if you are attractive to the opposite sex and unfortunately people at your age are not very kind to one another. The real world, though unkind as well, is not high school, and as one ages sometimes the popular kids lose their appeal and the geek that sat behind you in class suddenly looks kinda cute. You can't help falling in love; just try to look at what people DO, not what they say. And know that just as your heart is going to get hurt at times, at other times you will be the one to hurt someone else. As exciting as the drama can be, after a while even it gets old and you start looking for kindness and stability in a person. And loving a kind, stable person becomes very exciting!!! Just ask yourself before getting too emotionally involved if a girl is as pretty on the inside as she is one the outside.
Good luck!

| A couple of excellent replies from SgtMunro & Carter. As you get a little older Dillon you'll find that what seemed so important today, - is really of no consequence. I know that doesn't help today, - but things will change "down the road", and I think you'll like the change. |

High school is NOT the best time in your life
Well, it comes close! Summers at the beach, house parties, fraternity dances, my own sports car. I had a good time. I am still friends with a lot of the people I knew in high school. This year will be our 45th anniversary. We have a reunion every 5 years and really good attendance. Better than the classes just before and after us. I have met a lot of people since and made a lot of other friends, but those that I knew in high school are still some of the best. The same is true of my younger daughter. I went to a bridal shower for one of her friends recently, and most of the class was there. And they keep in touch on a very regular basis. |

Well, 23 Skiddoo, Fitz! 
Dillon, don't play games...if someone ignores you, don't waste your valuable time on them. Life's too short even at your young age. Amazing though, how if you ignore someone in kind by buckling down and getting on with your life, they somehow always 'blink'. Sort of a relationship version of 'chicken'.
Watch that 'friends' stuff though. Too many times people won't commit to something more but want to be 'friends' because it suits them emotionally. You're over at their place all the time, hanging out, studying, going out, etc. but it never gets any further. If a bf/gf relationship is what you want, then you were right in stating your mind. If feelings aren't reciprocated, then my advice is move on.
Carry on, Montescue! |

Hey everyone,
Thanks for the advice and the thoughtful posts. I'll take all of them into consideration as I go back to school tommorow and...see her in class.
I guess it was a crush. I'm not sure. But it was something. From her jumping on my back and giving her a piggy back ride, to having great conversations,to attending her sister's wedding, and finally "the kiss." It seemed we both were wrapped up into one another. Me more than her. And it seemed she'd get the wrong view of me sometimes and what I wanted and I always explained myself.
But, it is time to move on. My father has told me, yall have told me, and now I'm convincing myself. And as time passes I'll think of her less, but will always look back on the good memories the two of us had.
42ndNCO, it isn't much as playing games. Well, maybe alot of it is, but I'm trying to read what the girl's motive by doing it is. What she gains by it. But, sometimes it's best not to fret about it and I won't no longer.
But moving on is exactly what I'm doing. A few Saturday's ago, I took the girl's cousin out for movie and a dinner. Just as friends, but enjoyable none the less. And an ex of mine from the westside of town wants to see me over the summer. I haven't seen her in about 3 years. So, as Joyce and my father told me "There are other fish in the sea." Ain't it true.
And highschool has been great. Everything besides my relationship with the girl has gone surprisingly well. From making new friends, to attending senior parties, from running from the cops from those senior parties, to the experiences I've shared with everyone else. I couldn't have asked for a better sophomore year and I know my junior and senior will be just as good.
Nora, thanks for telling me your story and am sorry to hear it. But it's great that you are able to remain friends, maybe not as close, but fate has a funny way at changing. And myself, with the situation I'm in, have to simply "wade" through it. It's the whole process of moving on I suppose. But who knows...maybe he'll realize how close you feel for him as hopefully, he does you.
As a matter of fact...here's a song I recently wrote about the girl. My first hand at it too.
Memories
by Wade Dillon
4-8-05
I think I loved her.
She glances at me passing by.
I want to hold her.
My little writer; I'm your guy.
But fate has a way of changing.
Alot like people do.
And now my thoughts of ever loving her
Pass as people do.
I thought I had loved her.
My Spanish lady, goodbye.
There's so much I could've told her.
I can never meet her eyes.
And so I try and clear my head of her.
Something I must do.
So, fate has a way of changing.
So much as people do.
I once thought I had loved her,
Her face, a whisper in my mind.
I no longer hold her.
Cause there's another lady; and I'm just fine.
Again, thanks everyone. And Nora, the best of luck to you.

Oh, the good old highschool years. I wouldnt know much about those. All i would know, is what i learn everyday attempting to survive them. Women, hard to understand i know... Best advice is still the old saying "there are other fish in the sea." I know that saying all to well. I just came off of a real bad break up. It was my first real long term relationship. We were together for aout 8 months, then we broke up. a month later and i'm still not totally over her. I've moved on though, i'm seeing someone else now...but still....I was depressed for awhile, considered quiting everything i liked, (including reenacting ) I'm getting over here though...and i think for mentioned new relationship will help me with that.
anyway, this isnt about me, it's about you :-) Just keep your head up, i'm sure things will work out. If your ment to be with her...Then i'm sure things will work out for you...If your not, just go fishing  |

Win girl's hearts in less than a second! lol
But ya, I worked on the song while in the library. My Spanish teacher gave me the pass since that day was a quiz day and I wasn't really feeling well. So, I used the time I had to my benefit and came up with that song.
