Luis
It was Saturday night on July 26, 2008 when I met this boy named Luis. I was downstairs sitting down waiting for my friend to get out of the restroom. She got out and we were going upstairs to some fifteen party when Luis came up to me and asked me if I had a boyfriend and I said no. He asked me if I could give him my number and I said that i didnt't know. Then he asked for my name and I told him. We were talking for a while. I was shy and nervous, I didn't know what to say. Finally I gave him my number. He told me that he was going to call me that night. I said ok, and we both left. I was surprise because everything happend so fast and it was weird.
That night I slept over at my sisters house. We got to her house and we were eating. I told her about the boy I had met. I gave her every detail and told her that I didn't know if I should talk to him because I had just broken up with my ex boyfriend. I didn't know if I was ready to talk to someone else. I needed her to give me some advice. She told me to talk to this boy just as friends and to get to know him first and then see later on what happend. I told her that I wanted to get over that other one boy I had just broken up. She told me that for me not to worry about that, that I could find someone better and that I was able to talk to who ever I wanted to. That I deserved someone better that treated me good.
She made a positive impact on me because she helped me realize that no boy was worth anything. That right now I shouldn't be worried about no boys, only about school. But, that if I really liked someone and I wanted to be with him that I could do it and go ahead and try it. This really made me feel good and confident about my self. But, I still didn't know, well I did know if I wanted to talk to him, but I was shy. He called me almost every day for three weeks. That's how long we talked just getting to know each other better.
Then one day he asked me out when I went to the movies with him. I said yes, I was really happy that day. I really like him, not just because of his looks but because of his personality and other stuff. That's what made me tell him yes. I told my sister and she was happy for me too. She told me to make smart choices and to never let no boy put me down again and make me feel like I can't talk to someone else. Now it's been almost three months we've been together. Everything is going great, everyday I like and care for him more. Hopefully we stay together for some time and be happy just like now.
