True love. It's what every girl wants. To find the boy of her dreams and fall in love then live happily ever after. At least that's what we believe from Disney movies. When I met Sora I truly thought I had found my prince charming. He was cute, sweet, charming, and athletic, not to mention we had a LOT in common, and to top it off he liked me. So yeah it's your basic "boy meets girl" story. We had been dating for one year and three months since April 3rd of freshman year. And I know that I should've been happy, but. . .I wasn't. I know I know! We were perfect in every way and we were happy for a long time, nine months actually. But sometimes things just don't work out. People change and so do their feelings. I guess the problems started my sophomore year at Destiny Prep.
When school, started in September we had one class together as well as lunch and I always saw him every morning while we waited outside to be let into school. And every weekend we would go on dates to the movies or some restaurant or sometimes just hang out at each other's houses. At that, spending time together wasn't the issue. Sora was a complete man-whore. He LOVED girls. If you had an ounce of estrogen in you, he was all over you. Well not literally of course but you get the idea. But Sora was popular, so it was sort of expected, but he just had to be friends with every girl. And they flirted with him, and sometimes he would flirt back. It was ridiculous! I'll be honest, it annoyed the hell out of me, but I tried my best to ignore it. After all it was his nature, who he was. So I was able to live with it for a while. . . .until the flirting became a little less innocent.
On November 1st, he admitted to me that he had made out with another girl at a Halloween party the night before. At first I was upset, but not entirely shocked. All I could really think was why would he tell me that? I didn't wanna know. Why did he feel like I needed to know he kissed another girl? But he seemed pretty upset about it, which is why he probably told me in the first place, so he wouldn't feel guilty. After a while I realized that I didn't care. I still liked him and I wasn't going to break up over one mistake. Because despite his flirtatiousness, he was still a pretty loyal and great guy. And after three days of his relentless apologies, he did everything he could think of to make it up to me. He took me to the movies, bought me dinner and flowers and gifts. He even started being more attentive. Well that lasted all of November. Come December, he stopped with all the gifts and extra time. He said he was working really hard to earn enough munny to buy me and his family presents, so I thought nothing of it.
As the months rolled on we spent less and less time together. We had no classes with each other second semester so I only saw him twice a day, in the morning and at lunch. Then soccer season started which took up even more of his time. And there was something else too. He stopped hanging out with me and our friends in the mornings. Not all at once, but like maybe two days out of the school week he would be somewhere else. So on those days I wouldn't even know if he was there. By late March those two days became every day. I swear if it wasn't for lunch I would never see him! I tried confronting him about the situation and how I felt, and it worked. . . .sort of. He did start hanging out in the mornings again, but that was all he did. And when he was there, he just seemed so distant. Like he wanted to be somewhere else.
It stayed that way through the end of school in May, and you have no idea how thankful I was that summer was here. I had hoped we would be able to see more of each other and make up for the time we had lost over the year. But as my luck would have it I didn't get the summer I had wanted. My summer that I had planned. My mom arranged for me to spend the whole summer break in Twilight Town with my dad. It most certainly wasn't the summer I had in mind. I didn't plan on spending all summer with my dad. I didn't plan on not seeing Sora again until September. I didn't plan on making new friends. I didn't plan on having a great time. I most certainly didn't plan on meeting him or falling in love. And I didn't plan on the effect it would have on my life either. Well I'll be dammed, Forrest Gump was right. Stupid chocolate metaphor. I'm supposing that I've sort of lost you by now, so I'll explain things a bit more clearly. I'll start back when the summer began. The day I left for Twilight Town.
