"Michael makes an entrance!" ~ "Michael!"
It's been months since I saved the school from the squips that almost destroyed everyone, and even though that seems like a hella cool title, after a while the news dies out. You always need new gossip, and even though I was almost "cool" for a few days, I still was just a loser, and when you are a loser you are destined to stay a loser for the rest of your life.
The only way that was found to get out of being a loser was from the squip, even though it's a toxic route that ends terribly. So, we stay losers.
Although, after the squip Jeremy proved himself worthy. His friends seemed skeptical at first, but realized that he actually was "cool", or something like that.
He now sits on a throne with the popular kids. That's alright, I guess. He at least kept me in his life, he even seemed to maybe even love me...
Which did I mention I loved him?
Everything about him was wonderful. That's why I'm alright with him being up in the ranks without me. It makes him happy, and he went through all that trouble to get up there, he might as well stay up there. If he is happy, I will be happy.
Let's just say that. "Happy." Yeah.
After a bit he finally admitted to loving me, which nearly made me explode. He included me with his group, and I felt so loved by everyone...
Until I realized the smiles were just masks blocking the death glares being hidden underneath.
They didn't want to include me, and I never realized- like an idiot. It was only after Jeremy told me about how we weren't going to work that I realized I was bringing him down.
So, we broke up, and he got back with the love of his life, Christine. They were so happy that I couldn't stand to see them, but I could never hate Christine. I mean those words. No. One. Hates. Christine.
There was only one person I could ever trust anymore at this point, that being Rich. For some reason, he didn't mind me being a loser after getting to know me. It was just about the last thing I would ever have thought to happen: your bully for years saying they wanted to be your new best friend after your old one turned out to be broken.
So, as you can tell, I was very cautious about it. I was already hurt enough, but after a while of knowing each other I felt that the chance of Rich turning on me slimmed down to nearly zero. I was glad to have someone, even if it might not last long. Someone to turn to, someone to understand and who understands you is what I needed. If Jeremy can't be it anymore, at least I had Rich.
Back to Jeremy. Even though the breakup hurt like hell, I accepted it. At the time I just thought he wasn't all that comfortable with it, since he may have confused his platonic love with a romantic type instead.
Little did I know, it wasn't that. Of course it wasn't that.
It took a bit of me being an oblivious idiot to realize that dating a loser is a one-way ticket back to losertown- population: me. After he had a taste of popular life, he was hooked on it like the most powerful drug in the world. Never daring to do anything to make him lose it.
I'd had enough of him. After getting support from Rich and preparing myself, I knew it was time to force Jeremy completely out of my life.
A breakdown, heated argument, and four years of distance later, here I am, writing a song about somebody I used to know.
