CASSIE POV
"When we are angry or stressed, our hypothalamus sends a message to our pituitary to instruct the adrenal glands to release adrenaline that causes your heart rate to increase and your digestion to shut down, it also helps with providing more glucose and oxygen for your muscles in case you need to face danger, this is where the 'fight or flight' response comes into action." Our Science teacher, Mrs. Simons drones on. I like Science, without a doubt, neurology to be exact, but sometimes Mrs. Simons makes me dislike the subject, so sometimes I tend to zone out.
I think back to what Summer said about considering to find a boyfriend.
Is it really possible for me to find the right guy?
I've never actually completely fallen in love with someone before. There were those small crushes here and there but they weren't huge ones and I highly doubt there would be anyone who would like a crazy weirdo like me, unless they're crazy too.
In all honesty, the thought of being in a relationship is nerve-wracking. I'm scared of falling hard for someone but have them not like me back. Everything just seems so hard and complicated when it comes to boyfriends or girlfriends.
Love itself is just so complicated, that's why I don't bother with that romance shit and just hope for the best. I guess I'm too chill for my own good.
I hear everyone opening their textbooks and turning it to a page, shit I wasn't listening, what are we supposed to do?
"Page 45 and complete all the questions." Hannah whispers to me.
"What will I do without you Hannah."
"I know, I'm your savior you can't live without and you would've died by now if it weren't for me." She smiles, flicking her brown hair back cockily.
While I'm doing my work, I think back about love again, I think about how happy Summer looks when she's around Carlos, and that aura you feel around them when they're together, it seems the same with most of the other couples at school too.
I've never had a boyfriend before nor have I fallen so deeply in love with someone and thus I don't understand how couples could look so happy with their significant other.
I couldn't help but feel curious of how that felt too.
