New Joke of the Week: My Love Life

My name is Memphis.

I have grown up in a scenic waterfront town. It's a smaller town-named Shell Cove- surrounded by water and towering forests of pine trees.

It's the type of town that families go to have a relaxing vacation in a small harbor off of the Pacific Ocean itself. A small fishing town. It's small, but not too small.

You can walk down the street and see at least one person that you know, but you don't know everybody. I lived in the middle of it all, right smack downtown.

Everything happens downtown. I often go on walks with my pooch, Coco.

I have been raised by two loving parents and my brother's name is Travis.

I am in the eighth grade and I have had this crush on this certain guy for like two years.

He moved to our school back in January last year, but I didn't meet him until track which was in April. That's when I tripped and fell into a pile of feelings for him.

His name... Ryder Furlong. *cue romantic sigh* My friends Jennifer, Erika, and I call him Franz though, because of his love of donuts... That's a whole 'nother story though...

Just a little disclaimer. I liked him BEFORE it was popular... Almost EVERY girl in our grade has begun to like him starting in the beginning of eighth grade. Sorta out of the blue if you asked me... But a guy that great can't stay hidden forever...

Although I have a major crush on Mr. Popular, I do my best not to swoon over him like the rest of his "followers". He doesn't need that and neither do I. I don't really have a chance with him, but what can I say...? But, hey! At least I have a shot at being friends with him. I kinda blew that last week though....

You should see the lovesick looks in the rest of the girls' faces at my school... All they talk about at school is him.

"Oh Ryder this, did you see what Ryder just did?, hahaha oh Ryder..." They don't even try to use a code name or whisper about it. When he cracks a joke it's kicks and giggles all around.

He became the Elvis Presley of my school overnight practically. In seventh grade he was just another guy. A funny, new guy, but none the less he wasn't paid much special attention.

Ok all of my crush on him aside, he is a very witty guy. Does that mean I laugh at all of his sarcasm just because he is the one who is speaking?

No.

Some of the other girls' crushes on him are all a bit too obvious. I don't want them to embarrass themselves. Who wants to act like that around a guy?

Don't get me wrong: I have nothing against the girls in my grade, but they are just way too obvious, and all of us don't need that going to his head.
