Switched Love

Simple and a Weirdo

"A person won't bother to change himself just for you, unless he loves you." -- Yenne Yukihiro

They said, 'You don't have to put much effort just to be loved by someone. 'Cause it's not about what you did, but it's about who you really are that makes him fall.'
Yeah, maybe they're right. Because if it is the deed that counts, maybe i'll be buried unmarried.

For 20 years of my existence, believe it or not, I haven't been involve in a serious relationship.

It's not that I've been in a complicated relationships.
Truth is I haven't experienced yet how to have a boyfriend, or to be called by someone his girlfriend.

'Well, Casey, you can't blame the boys. Look at you. You don't even know how to fix yourself.'
Jewel, a friend of mine once told me.

Seriously, it hits me.

Jewel was right.

I don't know how to fix myself.

My hair was always straighten down to my shoulder. Bangs covering half of my face making others thought that I'm somehow related to Sawako except that i have a short hair. I don't even wear makeups like what other girls of my age always have wherever they are.

I hate makeups.

My outfits, as my friends always says, are too boring.

I don't even know how to choose proper dresses for some occassions.

Oh, and my eyeglasses?

Everyone hates it.

Except my Father, especially my older sister. 'Cause she also wears one.

You could say I'm the simpliest girl in school. And you could say that again.

Maddie snapped at my face.

"Hello?? Earth to Case." I heard her say in an irritated voice.

Zoned out again.

I looked at her with a confused face.

"What?" I said.

"What 'what'?" At this time i knew she was already pissed.

"I said where are my CDs of Takeru?? You borrowed it last week, right? So where is it now? Jamie has been waiting downstairs to borrow it." she said, frustrated.

"Oh! Wait."

I rolled off my bed to the nearest drawer and pulled out from there the CDs she's been dying to look for.
I handed them to her. She then grabbed them and rushed out of my room, slammed the door and down stairs.

Tsk, my older sister. She's really a die hard fan of Takeru Satoh. Not mentioning her room full of his pictures and banners.

Maddie was 3 years older than me. And she's the only sibling that i have. She always wears that geeky eyeglasses of hers which made me feel like it's already part of her body.

Our Mom died in a car accident when i was four. So it's our Dad who raised us by himself 'til now.
Our Dad is a businessman.

Yeah, he do businesses.

Especially out of town. So can't see him at home more often.

My room's door opened and I saw Maddie's head peeked from it.

"I'll be out with Jamie. Be back at noon."

I nodded.

Then she slammed the door close and headed downstairs.

I rolled my eyes.

Why is she always doing that?! I mean, slamming of doors. Especially my door!

"I'll kill her."
I groaned.

Tucked my face on my pillow for a minute then rose off from bed.

It's the last week of summer. But still i don't feel like going back to that big school of our town. I'm not even excited meeting new classmates and new friends.

I walked passed my bed to the bathroom, the most comfortable place for me next to my bed.

Washed my face, brushed my teeth and then combed my messed hair.

I studied myself on the mirror.

Yo! beautiful girl. Make this day less boring than yesterday, okay?

I gave my reflection a smile.

"Okay."

In replied to myself.

Yeah, I'm really talking to myself.

You think I'm weird?

Oh yeah I am.
