What even is this? A mental breakdown?

The End...

Thoughts linger on in my head, people putting pressure on me to do as I'm told with a future said to have already been picked for me. People I once thought were my friends have abandoned me in favor of others, what is wrong with me?

My life has seemed relatively normal, until I started the 8th year of Depression Inducing School For Emotional Youngsters. Here, the kids are taught actual education but their own inconsiderate nature towards something besides themselves have led to a world of unnecessary depression. The way the youngsters treat their lives here is almost hysterical, it's like they think they're the star of whatever movie that "exists" to them.

I've been asked before by many, "Doug, why don't you join us in discussing our teen angst?"

I always declined politely, because while I knew some people had actual drama, most wanted it all about them. Then the creatures just wouldn't stop coming, they took on many forms in order to deceive me to be one of them. I kept refusing but the politeness, turned into bitterness and anger. I wanted to punch some of them until they understand how oh so terribly deluded they were, but that would only complete my transition so I kept it inside.

But then I met someone who would change my life forever, Marie. She was the person who I thought wasn't like the rest, but I soon found out she was a bit of both (and as I write this, I still have hope). She was stunning, with her short brunette hair and smile that could turn any man on. She was intelligent and knew exactly what to say at any given moment, she felt perfect to me.

"Hey there beautiful" I said awkwardly.

"Ha, that's not true but whatever. You're not trying to ask me out or something right?" She said.

"Of course not, someone like yourself would have already been picked out already. You're dating right now right?"

"Yes, but anyways. What do you what?"

"I thought maybe we could hang out sometime, would you like to do that?"

She said yes and our friendship started to bloom, her thoughts intrigued me but at the same time, puzzled me. Her outside was happy, but her inside matched what the school unintentionally forced students into, a confused child. It was my goal to show her the truth, now it all depended on her cooperation.

Now you may wonder what right I had to consider myself a all knowing figure, well it was simply due to the fact that I was not depressed like the rest for I still had hope. Something that was lost to time for many of my peers.

My family knew better as well, so it helped me from building a wall. They were always there for me and when they found about my little "project" they were ecstatic with joy. They however warned me of with this project, that the bewildered brutes would compete with me in a aggressive manner and make me feel different feelings for which I'm accustomed to towards Marie. I shrugged this as a minor potential problem when in reality, it lead to my inevitable defeat.

The relationship was going fantastic, with a day that would pleasure me and haunt me to insanity coming soon in a reader's app you're currently reading. It happened during the first of many special events that tested my creative depth. We got on a bus after the event was after with me receiving top scoring which pleased me, especially with my lack of self-esteem. We sat together on the way home with the moonlight shining in the darkness, she seemed like she felt bad for me hence why she sat next to me.

"You were amazing" I told her.

"Thanks, but you were better."

"No way! You showed so much exuberant charisma that I thought you were Oscar worthy."

She blushed and giggled in her beautiful way and said, "Thanks".

We sat next to each other in silence both having something more in mind while we waited to see who would make the first move. I eventually asked if I could lay on her shoulder and she agreed. I could feel her heart beating faster and faster as was mine due to our excitement for this moment. We both forgot we even had a girlfriend (I had one at the time to see what the fuss of dating at my age was, it was as terrible as I thought it would be so this will be the last and only mention of it) or boyfriend due to our natural energy to love each other.

I started to rub my nose on her cheek to prep her up for a kiss on the cheek. Once I kissed her on the cheek, it only took a few seconds for us to lean in and...
