I'll start with the whole introducing myself thing. My name is Casey Alridge and I am 16 years old. I'm average I guess you could say, I'm not "hot" per say but I'm not here to lower my self-esteem. I'm going to tell you my story. Like any 16 year old I have a huge, and by huge I mean enormous, crush on a boy. But he's not just any boy, he's Adam Colden. Over here in Riverbound High, he's Mr. popular, anyone who is anyone knows who he is, unless you've been living under a rock or something. I've known since I can remember and....I've had a crush on him since I can remember. Every time I even try to get over him he does something cute and it starts all over again. But , I mean, it's not my fault his gorgeous blonde curls are always messy but in the cute like "I just got out of bed" way and his brown eyes are always.....just there. Oh, and don't get me started on his body...I mean.... It's perfection. I may or may not be drooling right now. Not only that, he's also an awesome person. He's always nice to everyone and never hesitates to help someone in need. AND HE'S FUNNY TOO! I mean why can't he be a jerk and then it balances itself out but no, he goes around being perfect and all and meanwhile I'm dying on the inside.

The worst thing is we were best friends in elementary school and middle school, but when high school started, unfortunately, we each went separate ways. He became immensely popular and I, well I don't care about popularity or anything like that so I made friends that were like me, obsessed with music, books, green day, one direction, The Hunger Games and making terrible jokes that are so bad they end up being funny...you get the gist, and that was when met my best friend Julia. She's awesome I love her, although she really doesn't get how it is that I'm obsessed with Adam, like she would say. But how can you not like him?

This is me. And now I'll tell you how my whole undying love for Adam and my plan to make him fall in love with me, fell completely apart.


—————————


It was a typical, awful, dreadful, tragical, sad, depressing, tiring and sorrowing Monday morning. I was peacefully dreaming about being saved from a werewolf by Jensen Ackles when all of a sudden my alarm starts ringing. At 7 A.M....7 A.M this is child abuse or something they can't possibly expect us to wake up at 7 in the morning, but since I have no choice I hit the snooze button.

Trying to mentally prepare myself for getting out of bed, I started stretching in bed and eventually got out of bed. What I hadn't realized was that it had taken me 20 full minutes to get out of bed, and the bus picks me up 7:25. FUCK. I put on the first pair of jeans I could find and a black Nirvana shirt and rushed to brush my teeth. I ran downstairs said goodbye to my mom and ran to the bus stop. The bus driver never waits for anyone so if you didn't get there on time, you walked to school, and nobody wants to walk at 7:25 in the morning.

Once I was safe and sound on the bus I sat next to Julia. On the seat in front of mine was, as always, Adam. But today was different, I had decided it, I even talked about it last night with Julia, I was going to tell him what I felt for him. Everything. But not yet though, not when my brain isn't functioning 100%.

But I "accidentaly" dropped my phone on the floor and "accidentaly" kicked it under Adam's seat. Don't judge me. It landed just between his legs, score. I tapped his shoulder. He turned around and I couldn't help but stare at his perfection.

"What's up, Casey?" He said with his raspy morning voice. His eyes were all sleepy and uggh, God Casey, control yourself and answer the man. "Umm, hi Adam." I let out softly, I was so intimidated by him, but we were kind of friends there was a chance he liked me. "Could you pass me my phone? It, uuh, fell and it went under your seat." Julia smirked knowing it hadn't been an accident at all and I elbowed her a bit too hard, sorry not sorry.

"Sure." He said smiling at me, and I unwillingly blushed, stupid face stop turning red when you don't have to. When he bent down to reach for my phone, Julia leaned toward me and whispered, "Today huh? We'll see how that goes." she said laughing. "Shut up." I answered.

Adam turned around again and gave me my phone saying, "Clumsy Casey," he let out a small laugh and creating dimples on his cheeks, "remember when I used to call you that? I think it was in 6th grade right?"

Oh my God, he remembered. He used to call me clumsy Casey because I always dropped my stuff and he always ended up picking it up. "Yeah, how could I forget?" I began smiling, "And what was it that I called you?" I pretended to not know when I actually thought about every day of my life, "Umm, Madame Adam right?" I said nonchalantly.

"Right" He said laughing, he's so cute when he laughs. "Because of my obsession with French" he said actually remembering fondly our memories together. "Well, I can tell you this, you can't call me that anymore." he continued......WE'RE HAVING A CONVERSATION.

"And why is that?"

"Now that I've actually had french, I suck and am terrible at it so, you're gonna have to think of a new one." he said still smiling. I could feel my cheeks heating up.

"No way! Once Madame Adam," I said with an awful french accent, "always Madame Adam."

He smiled and opened his mouth to say something when, Henry, the guy sitting next to him, I guess his best friends, nudged him and said, "Dude, check it out" referring to something on his phone and that was the end of out conversation.
