The story of my love life.

Chapter 1

My story of a life.
So my life is literally a story at this point. I'm the nerd that loves anime, video games, tv shows, has straight A's. I have mental problems and I has really bad social anxiety. Well there's this really popular guy named Michael.

We hated each other. Once we saw each other we would argue a lot and since Michael we popular people chose his side. I have social anxiety and when people get involved I start to have anxiety attack and they would make fun of me.

But I've recently broken up with my ex that we had a year long relationship till he cheated on me. I've been really unstable but I think Michael started to notice because I never wanted to argue, never had any comeback, and just shrugged at what he said never really caring. I guess went back into my depression somewhat.

He started to stop picking on me and bully me. If anything he was doing the opposite. Like if I dropped something picking it up, asking if I understand the questions in math cause I struggle in it a bit. (he may be popular but doesn't mean he's dumb. He's actually quite smart for being the class clown.)

He was being nice. He even stood up for me when a girl told me that I needed to stop being over dramatic when I get a question wrong and everyone was laughing at me. (I fucking hate that to hell.)

Then one day we were in biology and it was just us cause the teacher was at the office and the students were out in the halls never coming in till the last minute. Which we had 5 minutes for passing period. I was really upset I was on the verge of crying because my ex, who i was still in love with, said something that really hurt.

I usually go to my dads house to get away but I couldn't go there cause my dad is mad at me too. So I have no escape, no one to vent to. (Cause it's hard making friends with social anxiety) I had nothing. Well Michael noticed my behavior I suppose and he looks at me and says

"what do you call a titan that can't swim?"

"What?" I say rudely since I don't care about jokes.

"The titanic" I looked at him stupidly. And just chuckled at it. It was a good one. I will Amit. I sniffles a bit and I ask him a question.

"Why have you been so nice to me? You don't care if I got hurt or started to cry. So why?" I look at him. He puts his hand on his chin like he's thinking and finally answers.

"Honestly, it's because you look broken. Like you don't care anymore. I started to notice when you didn't talk back to me and just let it happen. I dont remember the Jaci that would just let something slide without a comeback. I also recently heard you and Elijah broke up so I would imagine someone you love just broke your trust and left you for someone else would leave you broken." I was speechless. The first thing came to mind 'he cared to understand?'

I didn't know what to say. He cared to try to cheer me up with a attack on titan joke, which I thought he hated anime. He cared to notice how I act. He cared to see that I was broken. I was full of emotions. Upset, shocked and grateful.

The bell ringed and my classmates walked in. We got out assignments and when Michael was turning his in he put a not on my desk as he walked by.

'Meet me after school at the cross-rail creek'
-Michael

Now the cross-rail creek is an abandoned railroad that is in the middle of the woods and there's a creek under the bridge of the railroad. I used to go there all the time to read but when I started to date Elijah I totally forgot about it. It was my spot. Some kids would go there but not often since it was abandoned and supposed to haunted.

It was the end of the day and I walk towards the cross-rail creek. When I made it I took a mental note to come again for peace. I sat down on top of the abandoned railroad bridge looking at the water in the creek 7 feet below me. I heard a branch snap and I look over to the entrance. It was Michael of course.

He comes over and sits down next to me as I scoot over to make room. He talks first into the awkward silence.

" so how are you?"

" I'm okay. What about you?"

" I wanted to say sorry for earlier in biology. I shouldn't said it so bluntly" he apologized

"No don't apologize. I was just wasn't expecting you to say something like that." I rushed at him

"Why?" He asked curiously

I took at deep breath and sighed. " because you never said anything like that to me before. I wouldn't expect you to notice or even care for that matter." He looks at me weirdly and nods his head.

"I understand. I mean I used to be mean to you. Which I am very sorry for but I wanna wanted to be your friend. I used to look forward to have arguments with you, weirdly enough. When you stoped. I was so confused. I knew something happened but I didn't know. Till geometry."

I look at him and tilt my head confused. " continue please." I respond to him.

He look straight down and cups his hands together like it's going to hard to say then he looks at me.

" I have geometry with Elijah. I sit in the front and I always like to east drop to hear the drama or news. I over heard Elijah talking bad about you how you were so oblivious to him cheating on you and that he didn't care you broke up cause he got someone new and you had nobody. I gotten pissed cause i can't stand a man just using or cheating on a woman. I just can't. I'm sorry jaci" he looked guilty as he continued.

"It struck to me that you had nobody. I wanted him to be wrong think you had other people but I see you at lunch eating alone. He was right. So I stepped up I want to be your friend so your not alone. That's why I've been nice lately."
I was fully shocked. I didn't know what to feel or anything. I feel tears coming on and my instincts came and I immediately hugged Michael. I just kept saying thank you.

"No need to thank me. I'll be here if you need anything. So now that is over what's up?" I laughed and wiped my tears. We had conversation. We surprisingly have a lot in common. He's recently watch anime to make cringe jokes to make me laugh.
I told him I love taco lasagna and chili red. He likes chicken nuggets from McDonald's and more.

A week later we basically Be came bests friends. It is the week before valentine. (So basically now) on Friday night I decided to take a nap since I was tired. 45 minutes later I get a call

"Hey you home?"I hear Michael voice over the phone

"Yeah why wouldn't I?"

"Okay great! I'll be over in 10 minutes"
He says before he hanged up.

I was confused what does he want at 7:30 at night? I decided to make myself somewhat presentable. I cleans up my room and heard a knock on my door. I looked through the peep hole and it was Michael.

I open my door and let him in. He has a vase of purple flowers and food container. He hands me the food container.

" here I made you taco lasagna and I know it's not Valentine's Day yet but I got these flowers for you. They're purple daisies. Your favorite." I was shocked. No ever made me my favorite meal or got my favorite flowers other than my family.

"Oh my god Michael, thank you so much. I love this. Thank you! There no need to do this for me." I looked at him.

"actually there is. I was wondering if you would like to go to cosmic castle tomorrow like a date?" He's doing to much. My favorite place to eat! My crush is asking me out. Of course I had to say yes.

"Of course. I would love to!"
