Boy Meets Girl

Here's a story of a boy and a girl.

1999. Elementary school, the two meet. A mixer, who has mixers for 5th graders anyway? The two meet for the first time, not knowing that their lives will be hell for each other for the next 10, maybe more, years. Two typical 5th graders meeting before their 6th grade year, where they will spend the year together, one in a new school, one in familiar surroundings. The two became best friends. The girl was intrigued and knew that she would want to be best friends with this kid, why not? The most attractive 5th grader, soon to be 6th grader in the school. This is where their story begins. The summer goes on, they are separated from each other, but finally summer is over and they are brought back together again. The two become inseparable, getting constant jokes about marriage and dating, but hey they are 6th graders, best friends. There is no such thing as dating or love. As the years go on, the continue to be the best of friends. Day after day spent together, riding on specific buses just to hang out for a couple hours more afterwards. Puppy love at its finest. Moving on into high school, the friends zone remains. They both have significant others and its understood that they are best friends. Still this feeling for each other remains in their hearts. Best friends can't date though, it ruins everything. The day comes when they decide it's okay. It's okay to date, to be more than friends. Ends in drama, still a best friend in his eyes, and there is someone much prettier out there to sleep with. Throws it all away. It's okay, best friends was a better thing for them anyway. It is now junior year, he moves away. They talk on the phone every night for about four hours. Still best friends, but he has everything planned out for them. Where they will live, what they will do, how many kids they will have. Best friends. Things aren't so good for him, she is his crying shoulder. He decides that maybe back there is better, so he moves back. Senior year, back, physically, in her life. He wants to try this again, maybe this time it will work. She is skeptical, but can't say no. Again, he betrays her. It's okay, they were better as best friends anyway. He goes away for a while, they stay in touch, not as much but a bit. Freshman year of college, a new start. She doesn't have to think about him anymore. She has new people in her life, new friends, new relationships, a new start. He shows up one day, decides to have lunch with her. They start eating lunch once a week. Things are back to what they always were. Best friends, right? Right. Best friends. He leaves again, this time to pursue his new life...in the military. He comes home every once in a while, gives a call. Still best friends. That is until one day, when she receives notice that he is married. Married. Best friends indefinitely. Best friends, but the feeling is still there. Best friends, but it will never go away. Best friends. Just best friends. Their friends always told them not to do it, not to go into it, they did not listen. Now where are they? Still, "best friends."

Boy meets girl....Best friends.
