What Jake and I had was young love; but in no way was this love "puppy". Yes, at first we were both filled with 7th grade infatuation, and the start of our first phone conversation was me saying "So you think I'm hot?". But as time stepped in and brought Jake and I closer together, the 5 minute conversations turned into hours. The awkward silence at school became talking to my best friend. And I, to this day-
3 1/2 years later- believe that I was, and still am, falling hard for this incredible guy.

What we had was special, not gonna lie. We didn't have to be making out 24/7 to be happy like the couples I see today. We were both happy just taking a walk in the park or writing silly notes to each other. One time, we wrote notes to each other in class saying, "If I were a fruit, what would I be?" According to Jake I was a banana, the color that represented me as a person was yellow, and the song that best descibed me was "Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash.
