This past summer I returned from my first year of college completely a new person. Hair bleached, down my back, favorite pink lighter in my backpockets at all the times, tye-dye shirts, a small gut that could hold 10 shots before i booted, ripped jeans-fresh new attitude. I was more outspoken, my friends seemed to hit me up asking about the parties going down more often, i had a job! Which anyone who knows me was awed to find out.
My friend had invited me to her friends kick-back. I knew everyone there for the most part. We had all gone to the same High School. However i never really spoken to some of the people who were there, which was odd because we all lived in SouthEnd and knew of each other. Before we went in my friend had told me that there was this cute guy named Chris but he was off limits cause he had a girlfriend. So i knew to maintain my distance. I connected well with everyone but it seemed like one of them wanted more of a stronger connection with me.I hung out with that guy for some days even though i had the strongest suspicion he had a girlfriend even after i had asked him. After a while i realized that nothing was gonna further between us. Chris had hit me up before to hangout with my friend and another day he did again on a one on one bases . I don't know how but it seemed that everyone from the kick-back thought that i had gotten involved with him before i even started hanging out with him. All of a sudden my friend since Kindergarten who had invited me to the kick-back from the very beginning seemed to have gotten jealous cause she had told me she liked him but neither of us were in the right to say how we felt about him. I was distracted with the guy from earlier the summer, my job and partying. I never really thought much about Chris, other than he was good looking but i never thought more than that. I was too happy with my single life.

I had never been in a serious relationship before. I was timid to the idea mostly because of the repercussions that every Amy Winehouse song wept of. Instagram memes just portrayed cute quotes and pictures but could it actually be real? ...the idea of me in a relationship.
My friend no longer wanted to speak to me even though i had hit her up countless times to settle the lies that were being spoken about me. She wanted nothing more to say to me. I had continued to hangout with Chris, despite the fact that people thought the worst. Towards the end of the summer i fell in love. His previous relationship was terminated by then but i had to return to school late August.
Chris visits me as much as he can. He has a steady job now. We are in a committed relationship. It is very difficult especially since i live 4 hrs away from him. But we somehow make it work (special thanks to Tango! and my family for unlimited minutes!).My friends from school have met him and enjoy his visits as well. He came for my birthday and helped my friends set up my surprise party. And even bought me a Pandora charm bracelet! Yes, i'm spoiled. Its very cliche to say this however every relationship has its obstacles, its the relationships that overcome them that are the idealistic relationships.
