SEVEN WEEKS

High school.

Either your best four years or your worst.

Taking into consideration that I never found myself eating lunch in the bathroom, or how I surprisingly was able to avoid being shoved into lockers, I'd say high school has been okay.

Just okay.

Like me. I'm just okay, I'm just fine. My life's just okay too.

In high school you're supposed to find yourself, and it's all about this quest in becoming who you really are.

Three and a half years in, and to be quite honest, I don't really know who I am or who I want to be.

What I do know is that I'm not very good at the whole interacting thing.

It's not that I'm not outgoing, I just really prefer being alone a lot more.

Here's another thing: I guess you could say I'm a nerd.

I love reading and writing, and the only girls I seem to associate with happen to be my little sister Lennox and her friends.

Don't worry, I'm not a pedophile and they're not that little either.

But there is one person that makes me forget I actually prefer being on my own.

Harleigh Wren Queen.

She's everything.

Beautiful, smart. Sweet and kind.

Harleigh Queen was that girl boys wished they could have, and girls wished they could be.

She was cheerleading captain, a journalist or international model in the making, and everyone's best friend.

Now, I don't agree with the whole 'falling in love in high school' cliché, but to every rule there is an exception, and Harleigh was mine.

She was my outlier... oddity... special case even.

I don't really remember when or how I came to love Harleigh, but I've always admired the way she had her whole life just planned out in front of her.

Everything for her falls into place perfectly.

Sometimes I'd see her in the hallway and she'd always smile and wave so effortlessly, so naturally.

And of course, something always seemed to interrupt the little moments we shared.

Because she was with someone.

And that someone was Ryder Blake, a delinquent and a bastard who didn't deserve someone like Harleigh.

He's pretty much that jock jerk that's at every party, gets too drunk, and fucks a lot of girls.

Whenever Ryder sees me, he gives me those looks that you give to people you don't particularly like. And it's kind of funny really, because I used to think this was because he was intimidated of me.

As if Harleigh would ever go for me.

I've grown kind of used to it anyway.

Despite him being an arrogant asshole, Harleigh, seeing the best potential in just about the worst, probably thinks she can fix him, maybe even save him.

Some people are past fixing and past saving, Harleigh.

"Hey Wes!"

There she was.

She sat down next to me and smiled.

I'm pretty sure I stopped breathing. And then I blinked and smiled awkwardly. She's so beautiful.
