Drama
Today meeting my 14 years old daughter, Riris' first boyfriend, brought back memories. Memories from when I was around her age. My first boyfriend was Mark, but we didn’t last long. Then came Alfie, whom I thought I’d spend the rest of my life with. But things never work the way you want them to. And in the end, we broke up. Alfie cheated on me. And just when I started thinking that my entire life was falling apart, I met this guy named Fred. He was 8 years older than me. He was from my dance club, the teacher’s assistant. After my breakup with Alfie, I got depressed and couldn’t concentrate on my dance class. So, the teacher asked Fred to help me out with my dance. And that is how little by little, we started talking, became friends, and then suddenly we were BOOM! Dating. We dated for 5 months and soon it was my 17th birthday, so we went out together. He said he had a surprise for me. I was excited to see what it was until I saw it. It was a hotel. He booked a room for us. I was stunned, like, why a hotel all of a sudden. I kind of didn’t want to go in there, because I had a bad feeling, and also, I just wanted to hang out somewhere fun. But I also didn’t want to dishearten him. I loved him. So, I carried on with my fake excitement, and inside I hoped he knew that I wanted to go to some fun places. I went into the room and could hear him closing the door. The room had an extremely beautiful view. The whole room was decorated with colourful lights and balloons and a cake and drinks. We spent some time talking and we cut the cake, took pictures together and later, I was standing by the window when he slowly pulled me in and kissed me. We were making out. I could feel his hands slowly undo my buttons and remove my clothes. His lips ran on my bare skin. That day we made love. It was my first time. I thought I could trust him. But then came the girl Beth, His ex. She joined our dance club. She was 23, 2 years younger than Fred. I thought she was really lovely, but not to brag or anything I was way better than her. I mean that’s what everyone else thought too, I guess? I might’ve been an ugly child before, but puberty hit me hard. My glow-ups even amaze me. I’m not trying to brag. But even this beauty of mine, my body, my love, my trust, nothing was sufficient for Fred. On a practice day, after practice, I left my phone in the classroom. I was on my way home when I noticed that my phone was missing. So, I went back to class just to see Fred cheating on me with Beth! They were kissing. Beth pulled away from him and asked, “what about Ana?”, and Fred said I was too young to get married anyway and he wouldn’t wait for me and will marry Beth soon. I couldn’t stand it. Fortunate thing was, that they didn’t notice me because I never went into the class in the first place. And Fred somehow found my phone and gave it to me the next day.
