Allow me to introduce myself I'm Rhea but they call me R. I know weird, my parents decided to give me the weirdest name. Well now that you have a basic idea of me, lets get to it.

I curl my long dirty-blonde hair. It's so thick it takes more than an hour to curl but I don't care, it's for a I good reason I remind myself.

I spray a light amount of hairspray on my hair and make my way to the bathroom to apply makeup. It's not my favorite part of the day, but it's the most important unfortunately.

I pick out a white lace skater dress, put on a tan cardigan and to finish it I put on my white vans with the tan thick laces.

"You can do this Rhea, he's your bestfriend. What's the worse that could happen?"

I sigh to myself. "Bye mom! Love you!" I say as I grab my book bag. "Love you too". I walk out of the door and make my way down the street to my best friends house.

I've know him since we were 5. I was going to tell him how I felt today since I can trust him with anything. As I turn into his driveway, I see him on his porch. I freeze. He was face to face, mouth to mouth with the biggest slut in our school.

I already knew that he knew I liked him, but I was finally going to put it out in words.

I was so hurt, crushed actually."Matt?" He turns away from the underdressed girl and faces me turning red "Oh shit Rhea".

I turn away and make my way to school with a quick pace. I'm not letting this boy ruin my perfect winged eyeliner which is rare for me to have.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not full of myself but I can be confident. I have my flaws and insecurities.

I get interrupted from my thoughts by the sound of my name being called. I start to run knowing it was Matt calling.

This isn't the first time this has happened. Matt and Amanda are on and off. At first I was fine with it until she slept with every guy and some girls. Yes girls in our school.

She just hurts him over and over which hurts me because I hate to see Matt upset.

I take a quick glance back to see Matt standing in front of his driveway. I guess he see's my dirty look I was giving him. At this point I'm standing there. As he approaches me I try to think of what to say but nothing comes out of my mouth.

I know it seems like I'm over reacting but I love him, like really love him and it hurts so much. I'm broken.
