V - Summer

The girl's POV

The most interesting thing I found from my research is that Alison has not dated anyone in her high school year yet. And I mean anyone. Not even the 'hottest' boys (I don't get why they're hot but..,) did not charm this girl. She is literally untouchable. But his could also mean something else. If this girl hasn't dated anyone at all... She could just be gay. I mean, it's a bit if a stretch in this world of assume straight till proven gay, but it is an open possibility. But, then she could also be A or something, in which case I would have no chance.

And I know for sure that she is a well sought-after kid. I mean, she's the best of the best. She probably gets a marriage proposal every week. And the fact that she hasn't even dated anyone? That just makes guys run after her with their tongues lolled out. In this world of assure straight until proven gay, I have to just wait and see if I can get any more information about this mysterious girl.

I rolled over in bed and shut off my phone. I needed some sleep to recover from injuries, and stalking Allison was not going to help. Maybe I could look up some more when I woke up. Maybe I could try to find her in the midst of the huge school. My eyelids dropped and I fell asleep smiling at the prospect of seeing her again.

~•~

The next morning I woke up in a weird mood. I was mentally very happy to go to school today, and I had no idea why. But physically... I was in bad shape. Bruises galore, a black and blue painting on the canvas of my skin. And I definitely didn't get enough sleep. Silently I thanked my past self for having two alarms; one for normal days, and one earlier for days after fights. I had an extra half-hour to cover as many of the bruises as possible with makeup.

It is really bad how skilled I have gotten at covering bruises up. I finished covering everything with ten minutes left to spare, so I started to get ready for the day. I know where I'm putting the extra minutes, too. That's right, you guessed it. Stalking Allison. Since she's popular, she has way too many social media accounts, so I'm starting from the trashiest and working my way to the good stuff slowly but surely. Right now I'm at Twitter, and I hope that she has a tumblr because that tells a whole lot about this girl's personality.

A few brushes later and I'm done with all of my makeup. Makeup for me really just consists of covering bags under my eyes and making sure I look like an everyday nerd. That's me. I'm a professional nerd that can't even fit in with the nerds.

It's so crazy that I'm falling for Allison. There is literally nobody that could be farther away from me than her. And even then, she still is an extra few miles away. Just because we are complete opposites. It's ridiculous. At least I haven't been here for long, and I haven't seen the horrors of the summer. I know from experience that summer is either the best time for a misfit or the worst. I hope for the former, but with my luck, I get the latter.

Back when I was younger and when I actually valued popularity, I remember the summertime. I would go off with my other popular friends for the very beginning, before they started to pay big money for things. Once they started to pay, I left for the rest of the summer. Disappeared from their sights. When the summer winded down, I would reappear. I'd get a few questions but I would wave them off and then join them again. This worked really well; I didn't have to pay big money to do stuff with them, and I still got all of the popularity because I was there near school time. It was my foolproof plan. Of course people started to get cellphones and then they would text me asking where I was so I couldn't do it as easily in future years.

Eventually, I just didn't care about being popular and that whole scheme just dies down and I stayed near my house for the summer like any not popular kid. It's funny, I haven't really thought about my summer tactics until now that I'm making a battle plan.

But enough thinking. I have to go to school now. Maybe I will see Allison in the hallways. But she probably wouldn't even notice me. At all. Oh well... It's not like she payed any attention to me before. I doubt she even gave that fight a second thought.

Focus, Stevie. You need to focus on getting to school. Do not think about Allison. Do not think about Allison. Do not think... I wish that she would acknowledge me at least though... Damnit Stevie you thought about Allison. Man I really need to cut out of this. Just focus on something completely different. Anything. Ummm... We had our SAT tests a little while back. Umm. I should probably eat something before I go to school.

I ate a bowl of cereal and then I went over to the door. It was a nice day, so I decided to walk. The walk isn't that long and it's nice and interesting. I love the fresh air and the trees. The semi-rural area is really my thing. There are trees but there are still a lot of buildings. And it's not like the air is polluted or anything either.

I took a deep breath of the morning spring air as I stepped outside to the street. I was walking across a different street and was almost to the school, maybe halfway, when I then turned to see a sight of my life.
