The truth is I've never fallen in love. Not head over heels crazy for someone, not even "I need you by me always love"
I've just had the inconvenient "I think I have a crush on you, but you're cute and I can't deal with this today" situation.
There was also the 'i hate you, stop looking at me like that," and the "totally shouldve said something before we worked on a group projects where i did 95%"
And the "you're one of my best friends I've know for 10 years, my bff has a crush on you and just cant risk a great friendship for that "
also the "you're super cute and fairly nice, and have the same sense if humor as me and really understand me, but I've known you my entire life and as my best friend's cousin, your practically my cousin so I can't make it awkward because we spend Christmas and thanksgiving together" situations.
Honestly I didn't believe love really existed. To me it was unicorn blood, a half-lie. Not as perfect as people claimed, but never having to be single.
Even before all my friends started dating and relationships, I could more easily imagine myself as having my first kiss staged in a play than having a real first kiss.
Only once was I ever asked to dance at a middle school dance, but it Ivan, who I did not like and we had awkward height differences and halfway through the song me and my friend Alya switched so I was dancing with out other best friend, Nino, who's average height, and she was with the tall guy
Overall I feel sorry for the kid that asked me to dance, but I'm so short. And it was awkward. He left schools after that year and i never had to talk to him again. And no one ever asked me to dance with them again except my best friend who's a boy.
What was I saying?
Right.
I didn't believe in love. And much like disbelief in anything else, I wasn't just proven wrong, it rose up out of the depths and shadows and smacked me into love, I didn't just fall though because im clumsy enough as it is. I tripped backwards and unknowingly stumbled upon love. I was stubborn, I kept insisting love wasn't real, but I was about to be proven dead wrong.
Thats when I met Adrien.
