My name is Alyssa, I'm 15 and I think I'm in love with a stranger. Wait let me rephrase that, I think I'm in love with someone I met on the internet. I know, I know, sTrAnGeR dAnGeR! But this boy makes my soul melt, no no, dissolve. When he smiles I get these goosebumps and like a tickle down my neck. He makes me feel so... safe. His hair always has the slightest waves in between the dark brown layers. He has these eyes that are even more blue than the sky on it's clearest day. And I know I have never met this boy but I feel like I have know him since I was 2. He makes my heart happy.
At my school (Sherwood Oaks High) the students aren't what you'd expect. The girls are all extremley sexually active and always writting words on the walls about other girls, and the other day while I was walking to my homeroom, my only real friend Liam, pointed to the wall and gasped. I turned my head and noticed my name, it read " Imagine being a fat, ugly, virgin, oh wait thats Alyssa Grails." My eyes began to slightly water and then the boys in the hall began to laugh, I began to sprint towards the doors toward the track field. Liam began chasing after me chanting "Alyssa wait!" I pushed the doors open and ran towards the open field, and I collapsed, my eyes began to leak water as I waled in agony, my throat quickly began to feel dry and sore but I couldn't stop crying. Liam opened the doors and saw me on the grass, he ran over to me and sat infront of me. I grasped his sweatshirt as he wrapped his warm arms around me. I noticed my tears sinking into his sweatshirt, I murmmered through tears, "I- I'm sor- sorry." Liam pulled away from the hug and looked at me in the eyes, "I don't know why god allows me to see you, I thought only true belivers could see angels." he said still looking into my eyes, they were a warm hazel. I patted the ground motioning Liam to sit closer to me, he did and put his arm around me as I leaned onto his shoulder. We didn't talk we just sat there as I began to brush through his soft, fluffy, blonde hair with my fingers. We sat out there for almost 2 hours but it felt like 5 minutes, it was only 12:23 pm, Liam motioned towards the sidewalk but I couldn't bare to move, he picked me up carrying me with my legs wrapped around his waist still playing with his hair. He carried me like this to my house, my dad wasn't home, and my mom was in rehab permanetly. He walked to the door and reached into my hoodie pocket grabbing the house keys. He unlocked the door and carried my over to the couch. He put me down and closed the door, he walked back over to me and layed across the couch, I snuggled next to him and laided there as my eyes fell down until they fully closed, for 5 hours. My dad walked into the house and seen me on the couch, alone. Liam must have left, I pulled out my phone and noticed a text from my online friend, Sam. Sam had been my crush for 8 weeks now, he ran in track meets and always recorded himself so I could watch him run. Sam had dark wavy brown hair that was so poofy and cute, his eyes were ocean blue, his smile was perfect. Soul melting. Every conversation we have makes me belive alittle more in true love. He lost his Uncle to drug addiction so he's easy to talk about my mom with. I never felt forced when I'm with him, he makes me happy. The text he sent read "Hey sweet luvy, how was yous day? Mine was pretty good but I missed talking to you so much. So common tell me everything." I told him about the words on the walls, and how I couldn't take the pain and went home, I didn't tell him about Liam, he doesn't know about Liam. He texted me back " Awe, I'm sorry you had a bad day... Just know that your worth more than every single breath of air on this planet and the next. Can I ft you?" I texted him back yes and he called me and we talked for 2 hours non stop, eventually he told me I needed to go to sleep, because every princess needs her rest. It made me smile and I agreed, he said goodnight and hung up the phone call. I began to whisp away into a dream of me being in his arms, I could feel him holding me and snuggling me gently. I couldn't help but feel extremely cozy. I felt the weight on my heart crumble.
