She was in the library at such an important day. Reading such a devastating yet funny famous book by John Green.

No matter how cliché it really sounded, She liked reading 'The Fault In Our Stars'. It kindof resembled Shakespere's famous heartbreaking Romeo and Juliet but it was modern.

She liked reading special books on special days. Just like how she's doing now- she locked herself in the library, away from the flowery and affectionate world outside.

It was Valentines and she cared less. It's not that she hated it actually, She doesn't find the event significant. It's probably because there's no one to celebrate with. It's funny that she never knew what love was itself.

But if we were to ask her the defenition of 'perfection', She'd utter a name without much second to stop and think. That name would be, "Yvel Peters."

Yvel was the epitome of 'everyone's eye candy'. He had the looks and the imperfections, He had the intelligence and the stupidity. He was a normal guy who caught Breatte, The bookworm's, attention.

They were close friends, he's everybody's. She decided long ago, when he gave her a heart-stopping smile along with his favourite book, she knew she liked him.

She sighed and adjusted her red ruby heart necklace from her aching neck. It was a gift, from her mother. Her mother was such an exciting topic for her, at how they met with her Dad. It was such an unexpected story of how the girl who hated valentines, fell for the guy who lived valentines his whole life.

She loved how they fell inlove at first sight. Just how Hazel and Augustus did, in The Fault In Our Stars. With the chair scraping beside her, she snapped out of her chained thoughts and she craned her neck to look.

"Hey, Breatte." His slick voice said with such cheerfulness that had Breatte thinking, she never saw someone that happy in this boring place.

"Hey, Yvel." Her reply. She liked how his name sounded rolling out her tongue, and he liked how her eyes twinkled as she said so.

"Why are you here on Valentines?" He asked without much curiousity. He knew she liked him, and she knew he never felt thesame way. In response, she shrugged and held her book up indicating she'd only been reading on such an important day.

"Ah. Well, The Fault In Our Stars is such a sad book. I reccommend reading a happy one, Bre." He suggested, casting the book a distasteful look. She was seriously offended.

Not how he insulted her favourite book, but also how he insulted her taste. She flicked the feeling off though and decided against her snappy response. She hated being mean, she hated insulting others.

"I like this so.. Maybe I'd read a happy book soon." She replied with a straight face, then ignoring him and reading off to where she left.

Silence followed and she just wanted him to get out on his seat and kiss her. But what was wrong is that kissing someone you never liked is such a sad scene to ever see. It's never right, It isn't.

"You can leave you know." Breatte stated, realizing that it sounded rude all too late. She didn't dare to rephrase that and looked at the boy beside her expectantly.

"Well, me commenting about your silly girly book isn't as offensive as it seems. You don't have to be a b*tch about it." He spat nonchalantly, not knowing that every word pierced through her heart roughly.

"Uh, Excuse me?" She said, her voice croaking. She thought she liked him, and that he liked her as a friend. She never seen this side of him, She never seen how cruel he is. Maybe loving someone you don't know well isn't a very great idea.

"Oh come on. We all know you have a big fat crush on me and you ignore me, wanting my attention in the end." Yvel answered with a smirk. She grew surprised and embarassed, The whole school knew? Impossible.

"Yvel, Go and find another girl to bother on Valentines please." Breatte pleaded with an underdog feeling. She hated him- she hated how he broke her heart with one word.

Whats shocking is that she never knew he could control her like this. She never knew how big of a control he had over her, and that made her angry and frustrated.

"Quit the act, Breatte." He began, "You just want me to ask you to be my date on Valentines. Now here I am doing that, What more could you want?" and it ended with his suggestive smirk.

"Confident bastard." She mummbled darkly, covering the words spoken with a cough. She was wrong about like and mostly about love.

"You love me." He finally struck at her with the last straw. Her heartstring snapped and she felt the pain in her chest, and a burning sensation in the stomach.

He wasn't perfection, He was just normal and conceited Yvel Peters who finally took the courage to break her heart.

"Yeah, I love you." She agreed, thoughtful look plastered on her face. "I loved you. I'm not even sure if love was the word. It was probably affection." She stated, and that left him listening.

"Yvel Peters- you can't just toy with hearts as you please because humans aren't meant to be used and played." Breatte, suddenly feeling brave, spat to him and shut her book loud. The library was so quiet, it resounded loudly bouncing off walls.

"Hello? Yvale Peters, asking a girl out on Valentines? You're considered lucky! Girls would crave to be in your place right now, Breatte." He shouted, flailing his hands dramatically.

She rolled her eyes, "Yeah, because being lucky is a bad thing now." And without another word, She climbed off the seat and headed out- leaving the guy she thought she liked, confused.

It was wrong of her to think that it was love. That she really liked him. But then again, she never knew what love really is in the begining.

Thats the rule of Love. Once you find a way how to feel that certain feeling, you'd just waste time and grow tired. It's useless- yet it could be the most wonderful feeling you could ever have in existance.

But it could be the most deadliest thing in the universe, aside from the end of the world. Love isn't as easy as ABC because it's hard as counting 1,000 to 99,999.

We do not need to rush, If something is bound to happen- It will happen at the right time, at the right person, For the best reason.
