Princess

I have a few best friends whom I laugh and be completely weird and insane with, including my boyfriend. But there's one in particular who is just, well, out of this world. His name's Christian.

We text back and forth with each other all day. It's not like that with anyone else. Even when we have nothing to say, we're just random and insane.

A lot has happened between us in the past several weeks.

We had grown feelings for each other, and I was stuck in a love triangle, and it got to the point where I wasn't even sure the relationship I was in with my boyfriend was...real.

But then I started to think. I remembered everything my boyfriend said and gave me first, all the words he said first, and how we fell in love first. I remembered our first kiss together, our first date, our first movie, the first time we went to each other's houses, and how our relationship grew stronger and stronger everyday.

I reminded myself that I had a whole year with him. Why give it up? I love him. Christian was pretty much just as good as my boyfriend, but there's just something in my boyfriend that Christian doesn't have. I don't know how to explain it.

But soon, everything worked out and we were back to normal.

Sort of.

Christian kept being cute and saying romantic things, and I'm a sucker for romanticness and cuteness. And for awhile I thought I should tell him to stop.

But soon I just let it go. I told myself I could handle it. And I'm usually wrong about most things, but this time I wasn't for some reason.

Today was one of those days when my decision that "I could handle it" was going to be tested more than ever.

It's just one day until I turn 17, and Christian offered to take me to see a movie, and that he'd pay and everything. I accepted of course, and he said he couldn't wait to give me his hand-made gift.

Today, we talked a little about that, and it shifted into something totally different.

"I'm excited " I texted him as I lay on my bed.

"Your b-day? The play? Your party? Lol" He texted back.

What he meant about "the play", well I was in one, and in just three days we're going to perform.

"The movie silly X)"

"Haha okay your b-day. You didn't specifyyyy lol. Yeah I am too."

"Haha well excuuuuuse me princess! Haha jk." I texted, and smiled at the Link reference.

"O_O princess? Lol. Imma princess? You're a princess! Haha"

I knew he didn't get it, but I let it go.

"Haha whateeeeever. I'm a princess? "

"Yes. Because you're beautiful haha "

I smiled and knew where this was going.

"Hahahaha aaaaawwww >///<"

"Haha "

I could've let it end there, but I said:

"Why you so sweeeet "

"Aw I dunnoooo Haha, you're my princess."

"Nyanyaaaa >////< haha"

"Aaw hehe "

"Why am I your princess? ><"

I had to ask. I just had to ask.

"Haha, well because you're such an amazing and beautiful girl, and you're just so precious to me. "

Now, if he said that to me in person, I'd be a blushing and smiling wreck. Not that I'm not when he just texts me, but I get pretty embarrassed when I turn red in front of him.

"Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hahaha I can't stop smiliiiiing >///< I can't believe you think that "

"Aaawww hehe. Well yeah of course I do, why wouldn't I? Why is it so hard for you to believe? Haha, don't you know how important you are to me, an how much I love you? "

"Heh, it's cause all I've known from anyone besides my parents was hate. And seeing those words from you and my bf, hearing them, it's really nice to know that people don't hate me. "

"Aaww, well that's too bad. No matter what anybody says you're a great person, and you really don't deserve all the hate you get. But I'm just glad I could make you feel batter like that "

"Hahaha thaaanks "

"Heh you're welcome my princess. I love you!"

">////////< haha I love you toooo."

"Heh *sigh* you are just so cute <3"

">//////////< nyanyanyanyanyaaaa~"

" teehee. Heh, you know I always miss you, but whenever we make plans to hang out I get all anxious and then I start missing you even more. "

"Hahaha aaaww. "

"Heh. "

I'm still caught in the whole love triangle thing, but I'm sure I still want to be with my boyfriend. I still see a future with him.

You might be wondering why I'm letting my best friend be all sweet like that.

Well, like I said, it's because I know where I stand. I know that I am with my boyfriend and won't let sweet words from another guy change that.

We're like brother and sister. Anything sweet coming from our mouths will be taken as just a sibling thing.

It's hard for others to see that, though. At school, Christian is ridiculed all the time for liking me and denying it.

Funny thing is, is that we don't care what they say or what they think. Sure, it's annoying, but I'm probably not gonna see them again after high school anyway. So what's the point in letting it get to you?

For us, we are brother and sister, and nothing more. And we're happy that way.
