I grew up with this guy named Pablo like we were always together

I grew up with this guy named Pablo like we were always together. Playdates sleepovers hangouts parties literally everything. I'd go home from school every day and tell my parents all about him. We were in the same class since kindergarten. I was always like I care about him so much to my parents and eventually all the teachers knew we were this inseparable duo.
Then 5th grade hit and one day in science class we got paired up for a project. I thought it’d go just like any other project we did but it was different. As we worked I started seeing him in a new way. He was so sweet funny kind basically everything I loved in a boy bestfriend. And suddenly I felt this sharp warm feeling in my chest and I realized I had feelings for him.
As time went on those feelings got bigger. I’d literally kick my feet and giggle whenever I thought about him. I’d write him love letters and keep them in my drawer make fake flowers out of paper and even had this notebook where I’d write down memories of us. I was so into him my parents found out about my crush when my mom was cleaning my room one day.
Fast forward to 7th grade and Valentine’s Day was coming up so I decided I wanted him to be my valentine. At the end of the school day I secretly slipped one of my letters in his bag. We did our handshake said bye and I saw him get in his dad’s car. Then I got super nervous about what he’d think of the letter. A few hours later after I got home I was scrolling through TikTok when I got a text from him. He saw the letter I left and my reposts and I couldn’t take it anymore so I confessed.
He was surprised but said yes! He told me he was about to tell me the same thing after seeing the letter. I freaked out screamed so loud that my parents came running thinking something happened. I told them we got together and they were so happy hugging me and saying “We’re so proud of you!!”
On Valentine’s Day we had prom at 9:30 PM. As I was going downstairs to show my parents my outfit they kept taking pictures and then I heard a knock on the door. It was Pablo calling my name so sweetly. I rushed to the door opened it and gave him a huge hug so excited to go to the dance with him.
When we got there it was magical at least for the first few hours. We danced had punch smiled slow-danced outside and even kissed. My first kiss. Time felt like it stopped. I honestly thought nothing could go wrong. Eventually people started panicking about where we were but they found us outside just talking and watching fish swim in the pond while we exchanged kisses.
Those next few years of dating him were some of the best of my life honestly. But then in 10th grade my ex-bestie got popular and started talking to him. At first he told her to back off because he was committed to me. But then he started acting different distant giving me weird looks even blocking me. I was like What did I do to mess this up?
Then on my birthday I went to school super excited to see him only to find him waiting by my locker with my ex-bestie smirking at me. And that’s when he dropped the bomb. I’m breaking up with you. limba’s way better than you. My heart stopped. Everyone was watching. Tears filled my eyes my face turned bright red and random kids tried comforting me even calling out limba and Pablo.
After that it was just those two and limba the girl who took my perfect boy. I still miss him so much. Why did limba have to do that?
I miss my sweet boy.
