Why do we get so much attention?

[2-D]

For 14 years I've never had a boyfriend or anyone who liked me in that way before. Since last week, a boy I met in an after school club, named Javon asked for my number. We got along quite fine while texting, then he suddenly asked If I would be his girlfriend. My heart practically stopped beating. I told him immediately that I want a good friendship first, but unfortunately he was very serious and persistent. "What made you first interested in me?" I asked. He replied "Well you seemed interesting, and you liked the same stuff as me....to be honest, I thought you were beautiful & really cute"

Before I accepted, I asked him to show how much he liked me. In the 30 minutes of homeroom, he came & kissed me. It was my first kiss as well. When the other girls found out that I had a boyfriend, they were shocked. In class they were whispering "If Jane can get a boyfriend, then God must hate me", stuff like that, etc. I don't understand how they can say this, Someone actually liked me for me, is there anything wrong with that? My friend Zuri said that I should just ignore it, that they're just jealous. I told Javon what happened and he said "They're just insulting themselves."

Every day Javon calls me beautiful and kisses me.(he said "I'll kiss you every time I see you") He's called "weird", just because he's mature. I've met his "friends" and they're just terrible to him. They insult him and demean him. They kept asking me "Are you blind?" "How many fingers am I holding up?". It was completely degrading. I told that those fools don't deserve him as his friends. He just stared for a while & smiled at me for a long time. I really love seeing his smile. He then said "It's okay, remember what I said?"

Last Friday, when I was at lunch, this one guy kept saying "You guys are the ugliest couple! I even posted that on Facebook". That really hurt me, because Javon's my first boyfriend & I think I'm really falling for him. I told him what happened and he said "Ignore the Ignorance, I'm really sorry this is happening". I mean, I'm not bragging, I'm proud to say that Javon's my boyfriend, and I have a right to be happy. What I don't get is, why am I getting attention? There are so many couples in my class and they don't get any beef about it. What about Javon & I make us different from other couples?

I really appreciate it if you read the whole thing. Thanks
