A handful of woeful weeks passed, and those weeks had changed me as a person.
It's funny really. I was always the girl making fun at highschool girls for claiming they'd fallen in love with their boyfriends, but here I was, a girl who had fallen in love with a guy who had his own girlfriend.
I was ashamed and I was embarrassed I had left myself unguarded, wore my heart on my sleeve, and was willing to lose the most precious thing I could give to a man...to Sean.
A few days later, after the incident with Sean my parents came back home from Spain, and they were blissfully happy, asking me how Sean had been watching out for me. I put on a painful plastic smile and lied that all had gone well, and that they should take trips more often.
We all know the truth though, Sean broke my heart in a way, and I was a stupid teenage girl.
I promised myself that night that he walked out on me to be with Jill, that I will never ever be with another older man or be the other woman. I found out that both lead to hurt, or humility.
My friends at school had noticed a change in me too. Dominique kept asking me at school if I was alright because I had quit the tennis team, and my teachers were always questioning my attitude towards academics because my grades were suddenly falling. Big woop.
I know, I know, it all sounds a bit drastic for some of those things to happen after a simple heartbreak, but it's not that I was sad, I was pissed and was taking my anger out on the things that meant the most to me. However, I could not throw away my life just because of HIM. I vowed after the fifth teacher meeting that I would get over Sean permenently.
This was, though, very hard to do when Sean, knowing very well that I hate the very living guts that make up his body, texted me every five minutes like we're best buddies from friggen toddler days.
*Beep*
Sean: Hey Carli! How are you doing?
I don't respond.
*Beep*
Sean: Come on Carli, get over it. You have to talk to me sometime.
Again, I don't respond.
*Beep*
Sean: I still want to be friends Carli.
I still don't respond.
*Beep*
Sean: Carli! Stop being so damn stubborn.
I blocked him on my phone after that.
I needed to get over Sean and I needed a plan to just that.
When I got to school the next day I saw a flyer on the high school bulletin board.
In bright red letters read the words "Meet your perfect soulmate. Come to Teens and Speed Dating."
Perfect, I thought.
Now all I needed was a cute outfit, and a new heart and I would be over Sean in no time.
