The start
It was time to start my first year of secondary school, this is where I met my boyfriend Eric, he had already been at the school for a year before I joined, I didn’t really like him at first, mostly because my first time meeting him he ran into me while racing his friend, banging into me causing me to drop my phone and his friend standing on it breaking it in the process, so after that I decided I didn’t like him.
We ended up having a few classes together and he would try to talk to me but I would always give him the cold shoulder, not knowing as to what he did wrong, he eventually got annoyed and asked me what he did that was so bad that I won’t even talk to him, asking if it’s because he’s popular that that could be the reason why I don’t like him, no that’s clearly not the reason, I couldn’t believe he didn’t know what he did wrong. The same day tho something changed all of a sudden he knew why I was mad with him, I’m assuming he must’ve asked someone if they knew why I was so cold to him because he later on kept apologising for breaking my phone, even tho he kept saying sorry I still kept ignoring him. Was I being petty? No. Because my dad worked hard to make the smallest amount of money to get me a cheap little phone and I promised I would take care of it to prove to this family that I’m not worthless, just for it to be destroyed in seconds..
I noticed a few days on he slowly stopped talking to me and I barely saw him except for lessons. Which is fine I was more worried about how I was eventually going to have to tell my dad that I no longer have a phone I can’t keep making excuses as to why I’m not responding to his calls or texts. While I’m panicking walking through the school hallways Eric stands before me with some white rectangular box in his hand. Em.. hello? I said, he tells me to hold out my hand. I don’t do it feeling confused as to what is happening, he then proceeded to grab my right hand placing the white rectangle box within it. There, now can you stop being mad at me? He said that to me with such a stern look, I looked down at this box and it had an odd fruit shape logo on the front , was he pranking me? I mean Iv seen these types of phones before but they’re so expensive and we’re not even teenagers yet. Eric looks at me frustrated and mumbles, stop just looking at it and open it. I raised one eyebrow grabbing the top lid sliding it off of the box, to my surprise there it showed an actual phone inside, wait is this a joke? I say, no it’s not I broke your phone so I brought you a new one I’m sorry okay I didn’t mean to hurt you or potentially get you in trouble it’s clear you don’t have the money to afford this yourself so please accept it and we can be cool and start fresh. He later set it all up for me and all I did was cry, He was one of a few who have shown me kindness , maybe I was wrong about him, maybe I hated on him too soon, maybe I’m the problem and I need to learn to communicate, I took this into consideration and hope to grow.
A few years on, me and Eric eventually became closer, sometimes he looked like a lost puppy occasionally following me around the school and asking if we could have lunch together, I mean I wouldn’t say it bothered me but it definitely bothered a few people, mostly a certain girl called Becky. I met becky through mutual friends and yeah she didn’t really like me, I didn’t know why but I just put it down to me being the new girl or because I’m best friends with her best friend but according to everyone that’s just how she is so I guess I just dealt with it even tho I do feel like she treats me worse than she treats others, it did kinda bother me as it would make me feel awkward and I don’t like people not liking me especially when Iv done nothing wrong.
February 14th Valentine’s Day, I wasn’t expecting anything nor giving anything. Eric walked up to me and asked me if I would like to walk around the blossom trees outside the school before classes start, I didn’t see why not plus blossom trees are pretty , he pointed me to a really big beautiful tree near the end of the school and I looked at it in pure awe, As I was admiring the tree I heard a snap sound, I turn around seeing Eric with his phone in his hand facing towards me, I thought maybe he took a picture of the tree but then he turned the phone around and it was a picture of me, I walk up to him telling him to delete it, he turned the phone around looking at the screen, why would I delete such a beautiful picture of my girlfriend? I froze. What did he just say? He looked at me and stared me right in my eyes and said , Ruka will you be my girlfriend?, girlfriend? Wait me? He wants me to be his girlfriend? Honestly when I say that caught me by surprise that would be an understatement, I struggled to answer so I asked if I could think about it and he agreed. I needed advice so I went to my friend and her friendship group. They were all happy for me and told me to go for it but the one person I was concerned for their opinion was becky as she’s the one with the biggest crush on him. Out of nowhere we heard a slight sound come out of becky, Date him, everyone looked at becky with shock on their faces. Huh? We all said at the same time. Becky lifts her head, What? I said date him I don’t care I have a boyfriend I’m over Eric, go on Ruka just date him you have my full approval.
I guess I had my answer.
We then started dating, things were good maybe a little too good, it was almost like a fantasy romance novel, we never argued, we trusted each other, we were pretty much always together, he treated me like a princess. He makes me feel so comfortable that I feel comfortable telling him almost everything about me.. stuff I would never think to tell anyone else..
I really thought this was it , being with him made me feel like nothing else mattered, that I had no worries… Why you may ask? Because I had Eric because we loved each other because we had a long… strong.. relationship…
Or so I thought
