Hello, my name Alexandra and this is the story of my Juliet

When I was twelve years old I fell in evol that's what it was a backwards love. In every story you read about love it's always the same thing a boy and a girl fall in love they are happy and everyone is happy for them but our story is different there was no boy just two girls and no one was happy for us. Yes I fell in love with a girl and I wouldn't have it any other way she meant everything to me but fate was cruel and ripped us apart no matter how hard we held on things just kept getting worse. This is how our story began. I was eleven years old the first time I remember seeing her she was riding her bike her waist length hair blowing in the wind she wore baggy boys jeans and a baggy T with a boys over shirt she was a tom boy to say the least but to me she was amazing everything I wanted to be she was. I remember thinking how pretty she was I knew then I wanted her as a friend though I thought it would never happen for I was too shy to even wave.

The next time I saw her was a couple of months later I was at the city pool with my best friend and my sister I came out of the girls changing room and walked down the steps toward the pool then I saw her she came out of the pool and stood two feet in front of me I was frozen in my spot unable to move it was obvious she didn't notice me for she was looking at someone or something I couldn't take my eyes off her all I did was stand there and stare at her before me she had on a baby blue baggy T-shirt and a pair of baggy boys jean shorts. Her blue shirt went beautifully with her long raven black hair. She had a pair of goggles in one hand and a diving stick in the other but thing that mesmerized me that held my gaze for so long was her smile it was amazing it was beautiful just like her. She gave a small laugh at whatever she was looking at then walked past me not even glancing my way I was invisible to most so it didn't surprise me that I was to her as well. My trance was now broken and I was able to move again so I made my way back over to my sister and my best friend trying to forget about that girl.

Thinking back on it everything replays in slow motion the water droplets clinging to her before letting go and falling to the ground they almost seem reluctant to let go of the beautiful girl I didn't know it then but in time I would know how it feels to never want to let go of that girl.

The next time I saw her was a few months after that I was riding my bike this time just around town I road past a street on a hill I looked over to see if any cars were coming and there she was standing at the bottom of the hill her brother at the top they were playing Frisbee and again I found my gaze locked on her but this time she saw me. We stared at each other until we were both out of view which was within seconds. Her brother was yelling at her to get her attention but her gaze never left mine. I couldn't help the smile that crept onto my face as I continued to ride for those few seconds I wasn't invisible.
