It was another normal day at Isenberg High School you would see some girl being comforted by her friends since her boyfriend just left her. Or you would see a guy who would always talk have his books tightly grasped in his hands and his mouth sowed shut running through the halls trying to avoid everyone. Hmm don’t you just love, love? I have never had someone to love so I have only had my heart broken when the one I love found someone else… I saw all kinds of friends get their hearts broken, stitched, and stolen almost every week. My friends would always call me “lucky” for never getting in a relationship but it was more like a curse I would have rather loved and lost some then to never have loved at all but it wasn’t my decision it was more of every guy who went to this school. You didn’t choose you were chosen sounds pretty stupid, huh? But there was one guy that stole every girls’ heart he had dated pretty much every girl but me and some nerdy girl, His name was Drew or “Keeper of the jar of hearts” as most girls would refer him since he stole ever girls’ heart, He just had perfect blonde hair, eyes so beautifully green, and a perfect smile. There wasn’t one girl that didn’t like him even the gothic and punk girls loved him. But I had known him my whole life so I took that as a point. He never talked to me, He was too popular to be seen with someone as average as me… I bumped into my best friend Miranda almost chipping her black nails as she tried to grab my journal before it fell Drew was walking by and he crouched down and picked up all my books handed them to me and smiled “Here’s your book. By the way Edward is gay.” He winked as he handed me my Twilight book and journal but of course before I reached my arm out for him to hand me the journal he looked in it “Wow this is really good! Do you write stories?” I blushed as my eyes got as wide as the ocean “Um well yes but they’re no good…” He looked right into my eyes and smiled “Yes they are. Don’t hide yourself.” I just stood there almost lifeless staring at him like “How? How could someone like him talk to someone like me?” The bell rang and he quickly handed me my journal back trying to walk backwards so he could still talk “Hey!!! I’ll talk to you at lunch!” he screamed as he disappeared into the sea of teenagers. Miranda almost chocked from not breathing for such a long period of time. “Did that really just happen?!” I didn’t know what to think or even to say it was just silence coming from my mouth with my jaw dropped almost all the way to the floor “I truly don’t know.” Me and Miranda walked our way to English and apparently word got around, Every girl ran up to me even the popular girls raced to my desk asking questions like “OMG! What did he say???” “Did he ask you out?!” “Why would he talk to you and not me???” I didn’t find the last question quite as amusing.  And one girl asked “Is he tricking you?” I sat there secluded in my own mind thinking “What if she’s right…What if he was dared to be nice to me? What if this was all a dream?” Yet it was 100% real! We left the classroom to go to lunch and my heart raced maybe he really was going to talk to me… Right when I walked into the door way Drew ran to me grabbing my arm and pulled me to his table and Miranda smiled and motioned me to go on she’ll catch up with me later I sat down and just started talking they all thought I was funny and it made me feel like I fit in. We talked and talked and talked and talked until the bell rang and he walked me to class and then he went to gym and made my face light up like a million Christmas lights and my friends knew something was up and yanked me over to the desks where we had our little group and they just smiled and said “Are you in love???” And I didn’t even answer I just tilted my head to the left and dreamed my heart out but still that little doubt spread in my mind and kept spreading the more and more and darkening my dreams but I wont let ruin me… I have to keep optimistic about this maybe he won’t break my heart… The bell rang I didn’t know I spent that much time in my own little world and I turned around and my friend has thrown a pencil at me to come on and go before the buses leave us. We ran to the buses and passed Drew again… This time I turned around and kept running backwards and he left and then I could hear the bus driver screaming for me and I jumped onto the bus as kids were laughing at me and one of the teenagers who was also my neighbor smiled and ran right to me almost knocking me down “Hey hey hey hey!!!!! I heard how Drew and you had a little date today!!!” I blushed as I looked embarrassed at her “No it wasn’t a date it was just a hang out…” I secretly smiled while pulling hair behind my ear “No he likes you!!! He never does that unless he likes you!!!” She spoke a little too loud. The bus finally moved and shifted me into a seat right by another teenage girl who pushed me off into the floor I pulled myself up and dusted off my shoulder as the bus turned fast again but this time I finally got to sit in a seat with no one in it and wasn’t pushed off. My back may be killing me, my shirt may be covered with dust and just about anything that lies on nasty public school busses floor, and I may look like I’m in another world in the corner of the bus but I didn’t care I love Drew and I think he may feel a little spark in between us but maybe he didn’t but still I’ll try to think good about this I mean how could anything go wrong? Love is good right? He has stolen my heart and I’m loved it.
