A Story On How I Knew Love

Chapter 1

I am a very timid girl, a nerdy-ish type of girl who is known for being into books. I know no one at school, oh, let me scratch that. No one knows me. And I'm not saying this just to gain pity from all of you because I don't really care if I stay unknown to everybody else, I love staying this way, it's peaceful. Way back in high school, I don't really get why other people seem to be very active talking about their crushes and I thought it is normal for me not to care about those boys because first of all, I have no friends or literally anyone to gossip with. I am absolutely fine with being just with myself. Highschool, as our valedictorian said at her speech, it is a rollercoaster type of life where everything is stressful but fun because they had the chance to fall in love while studying, all of my batchmates were all about what do they call it? Flirting? Yeah. They said that you'll never get out of high school without flirting, but guess what, I did. Chesca Bettelheim sets the f*cking world record for not falling in love in high school. Now, I'm in college, and I thought I would be spending my whole semester staying peaceful, or so I thought, but I met Violet Brussells, more like she met me, and everything became a a complete opposite of the adjective "peaceful". Violet Brussells, my bestfriend according to her, just saw me and out of nowhere just stick with me like a kangaroo clinging onto his mama. I'm not mad, but she is just a completely opposite of me. She's very open, outgoing, with her loud perfect set of mouth, and oh, when she smiles, her teeth we're just like shining, her amber-colored eyes that seems to be gone when she's laughing at her own jokes, and her pointy nose that crunches every time I try to avoid her, it felt surreal. To have someone after a long time of telling myself that I need no one.

"Finally! there you are! I've been looking for you!" I was busy reading my syllabus when Violet just decided to cling on my back and closed what I was reading just before she went to disturb me. I stood up, completely ignoring her but she won't just get it, that I wanted to be alone and I want her gone "Chessie, I know what you're doing, and I won't let u get away from me because for God's sake! it's lunch time and you're still reading! We should go eat somewhere, with burgers and hot guys to look at" she said winking, so I looked at her in the eye and just gave up, I knew she wouldn't stop pestering me until I said yes because that's what she's been doing since the last two years of my college life. 2 whole f*cking semester and I just seem to get used to it. We went to this café called "Hot papas burgers" weird name, I know, but their burgers are unique and to die for! Since Violet became my friend, I became quite humorous you know. I never knew I had a talent on letting someone laugh until I met her. "You should try dating if you want, it's not like I would be a hindrance to your greatest fantasy of surviving college life with a hottie" I told her chuckling, she just laughed at what I said, completely disgusted with what I said "you, Chessie, should tell that to yourself because first of all, I already had my fair shares of men, and you? Tell me about it?" she said laughing so hard I could see her teeth with stucked burger patties on them just like what I said was something really funny, "oh come on, it's not like I'm interested with bearded men who makes gym their second home" I told her rolling my eyes and finishing my burger. I just don't get it, she would always complain on how she's stuck with me and can't get herself a boyfriend. It's not like I'm depending my life on her, she's the one who just appeared in my life and decided to stick with me like she's an infant who needs milk from her momma.
