Love Sucks

Chapter 1

    Rain. It was raining the day he asked me out. 

     I was walking back from school when it started to pour. A lot. I was thinking about running home until it came down hard, I ran to a nearby shrine for some shelter deciding to wait it out there. I was soaked in rain. I started to open my backpack for a towel. 

    "Dammit where is my towel?!" I began to paw through my books and other things before I realized I left it at home because it got dirty. "Dammit!" I yell. This day couldn't get any worse. I leaned on the pole and looked up at this sky. 


"Eliot."

    The perfect boy. Quiet. Nice. Cute. Smart. Basically everything you could ask in a boy. I hate all boys but for some reason he has snuck his way into my head. I've never really talked to him since he is in a different class completely. The only time I see him is on break, when I do see him he is usually crowded by his friends laughing their heads off. Loudly. Annoying boys. I wish I could see him more. I close my eyes and think about him more and more until its unbearable. 

"Eliot!"

"Yeah?"

 I hear a voice say. "What!" I yell, did I say that out loud? Oh crap. 

 "Hey." he says looking down. 

     This is sort of awkward, wait is he blushing? I look at my feet I didn't know he was here this whole time. I stand there hoping for the rain to end soon so that I can rush home and hit my head against my bed rest for being so stupid. We stand there for awhile in the rain, when a white shirt hits me in the head.

"Use that to dry yourself." He says quietly. 

"Isn't this your gym shirt?" I ask cautiously . 

"Yea but its not dirty." he replies I start to dry my hair with it until he speaks again. 

"WAIT! I wore it once!" he yells. 

"WHAAAATTT!!!!!!" I yell and throw it back at him. 

That little trickster. He starts to laugh his head off. His laugh. So cute. He laughs quietly and puts his hand over his mouth when he does it. 

"Haha, sorry" he says to sounding sorry at all. 

     I return with my most practiced face, the cute no your not sorry face. The angry cute pouty face. I am a true expert, probably since I use that face to react to everything I don't like.We stand there for awhile, the rain starts to lighten up and you can start to see the sun through the clouds. 

      I pick up by bag ready to leave. Tomorrow our teacher is "secretly" giving us a pop quiz. The only reason I know about it is because I cheated and looked in her agenda. I have to get studying or else I am going to fail. Again. Hate to admit it but I am to the smartest. 

    "Hey Eliot—" I start off but then get cut off. 

"Wait don't leave yet!" He yells. He puts his hand over his head so that I cant see his upper face. 

" 7 o'clock, bell tower tomorrow!" He then picks his bag up and leaves. 

    I stand there astounded. Did he just ask me out? My horrible day turns into a great day. My mouth starts to life into a huge smile as I pick my bag up and run home. I am so giddy with excitement I burst though the house and jump on my bed. 

" Oh my God! Oh my God!" I squeal trying to contain my excitement. I look into the mirror and see a young naive girl blushing crazy, smiling crazy, immature. Ugh! I looked like that in front of him. I fall onto my bed and scream into my pillow. Why am I so stupid!
