• tab He stood out from the others. I had hated him so much before. He was so rude and mean. I reflected back to the day where I saw part of myself die. It hurt, it stung. The words.... "Her? Yea she's a bych! I hate her" I would never get over. Now, watching him hang out with his friends, it was different and things had changed.
    tab He calmed down a lot.... and I, still hating him, had changed myself. The day when it snowed changed everything. I went up to his land and there was a snowball fight. He kept trying to hit me but I didn't mind.
    tab After that day I had to realize.... I had to tell myself the truth, that I liked him. I loved him. I shoved the bad words away. When he really noticed me..... I could swear on my life I was totally in love.
    tab Not that anything as wrong, but he always did it. Every wekk he ignored me until the last day (Friday) and he would talk up a storm. When I was gone the whole weekend, yea I thought about him the whole time.

    tab I reached him cautiously, and I was so nervous. When I got to him I said, "I heard what you said, a long time ago, when you said you hated me", he winced, "I have to tell you that I hated you too, but that's changed. I umm, It's hard to say. I sort of.... Well.... Im crushing on you and I have been for a long time. What was once hate changed..... Sorry to disappoint you," I said quietly and walked away.
    tab "No Rhea! I need to tell you something too...... I changed too. Why? Did you want to hang out?" He asked. I was speechless.
    tab "That's only what I have dreamed of doing," I said. I smiled and he smiled back. It was strange love. It was the only kind I knew that I would ever happen.
