-your being severely bullied at school and as a bet/joke they pay some guy to ask you out and then stand you up you run too your best friend/crush, Luke for comfort-
When I walked into school that morning I wasn't particularly surprised to see my "favorite" group of girls walking towards me, evil smirks on their Botox enhanced lips (there's nothing wrong with Botox if that's what you choose, just don't get it just because someone else does, which is clearly what half these girls did) "hey, (Y/N)" Kimi said flipping her dark red hair behind her shoulder. I didn't respond "she said hey" Brittney gritted out clearly more angry the Kimi that I hadn't replied "hi" they laughed at the light tremor in my voice, that always seemed to appear when they where around. "What are you wearing?" Kimi said disgusted by my choice of a band-t and jeans. "Clothes" I answered plainly trying to walk past them and further into the school but they wouldn't let me. Brittney shoved my shoulder so I'd stay where I was. "More like a garbage bag" she turned to Kimi as if asking for confirmation "yeah" they laughed "please just let me go" I asked trying to leave again but brittney still wouldn't let me. "Your so pathetic, what guy would ever want a girl like you" Kimi pointed her manicured finger in my face "Look at her she doesn't even wear makeup" "which she really should" a different girl added as she walked past me and joined the human wall blocking me from getting out of here and to my first class. "Just leave me alone" I pleaded "ohhh, look she's begging" Kimi said an evil grin plastering it self onto her bright red lips "like the dog she is" they all cackled "wuff wuff" Kimi's boyfriend taunted as he came up to stand behind her. "Hey, baby" she said excitedly and turn to make out with him for a solid minute. I gagged in disgust but took the opportunity to bolt, while they all "ohhhed" at how "cute" the brand new couple was.
After my last class was over and I was completely miserable from the constant bullying, I waited outside for my dad to pick me up. Usually I have my best friend who graduated last year, Luke pick me up but he had a date. I knot grow in my stomach as I thought of it. I've had a huge... beyond huge crush on Luke for as long as I can remember and when we first started hanging out I thought maybe he had liked me too but as the days turn to weeks I realized how stupid that was. He was popular, funny, totally hot, so kind and I, I'm just me. So I kept my mouth shut and watched as he dated girl after girl after girl who where all prettier then I could ever even dream to be. I quickly became the person he'd cry to when someone hurt him or one of those stupid girls broke his heart. I suppose just being Luke's friend is better then not being Luke's anything. Not that it made it hurt any less seeing him with countless girls. He deserves better.
As you sat there reflecting on all you had heard, seen and thought about today someone tapped your shoulder. "Hi" the stranger said sitting next to you. He was really cute, I mean nothing compared to Luke but who was? He had dark brown hair bright green eyes and a smile that could send any girl to her knees "hi" You looked at him once more trying to figure out why on earth HE was talking to you. "What's a pretty girl like you sitting out here all alone for?" I blushed lightly and looked away from him "me?" "Who else?" You could see him smirking from the corner of your eye "I don't know about this pretty girl your asking about but I'm waiting for my ride" he smiled brightly and stuck his hand out. You gingerly took it shaking it with slight suspicion "I'm Max it's very nice to meet you" I smiled and looked down at my toes "Y/N" he eyed you then stood up grabbed a pen from in his bag and wrote a address on your arm "what's this?" You ask him examining it "meet me there tonight? 7:00?" He asked hopefully, your heartbeat increased nothing like this had ever happened to you and you wheren't quite sure how to react so you just nodded a big smile finding its way onto your lips. Maybe, just maybe you didn't need Luke anymore. At least not romantically you'll always be best friends but maybe you could get over him now. After all Max seems interested and Luke obviously isn't.
It took you two hours to get ready and you where ecstatic. You looked yourself over in the mirror and thought you didn't look half bad. You had straightened your hair and had a very nice, blue, flowing sun dress on. You had even put a little makeup on which was a lot hard then it should have been, but you managed. And now you where sat outside the restaurant on a little bench. Your dad had dropped you off and said he'd be back in a few hour. You where all smiles the first twenty minutes but as the time kept slowly ticking by your hope that he was just running a bit late had diminished. It had now been an hour and a half and as people came and left they gave you sad smiles and some even patted your back trying to comfort you. A car drove by as a nice looking elderly couple walked out. The passenger door window opened and Max popped his head out and shout "LOSER, DID YOU ACTUALLY THINK I WAS COMING?" And you could hear the girls from school, in the car, 'with him laughing. You couldn't hold back the tears that had been brimming for the last hour anymore. You exploded in heart wrenching sobs and covered your face in your hands. The older lady who had witnessed the whole thing came and sat beside you "he's not worth your tears dear" she stated and started to rub my back. "Such a beautiful girl like you deserve someone way better then that jerk" she tried one more time but my cry was unstoppable. "I'm- so-sorry m-m-mam" she shook her head and her presumable husband walked up to her "dear, we're going to be late, the grandkids are waiting" she sighed and stood I looked up at the two "I-I'll be fine" I said between sobs and they scurried off. I didn't feel like calling my dad so I text him that I'd have Luke pick me up, so he didn't have to. Then I text Luke to see if he'd actually pick me up but got no reply so I started walking towards his house silent tears still flowing down my cheeks creating wet patches on the once smooth dress.
I got there in less then twenty minutes and knocked loudly. It took a minute but he came and answered, a beautiful girl by his side. He had lipstick all over his neck and mouth. I tried to stop the sob that desperately wanted out but I couldn't. "Sor-ry, I di-didn-t kn-now sh-e'd still be h-here" I started to walk away but Luke caught my wrist and pulled me into his apartment. "What's wrong Y/N?" He questioned softly a very concerned look prominent "who's she?" The girl asked "this is my best friend, Gabby why don't you leave I'll call you later or something" she rolled her eyes "don't bother" and then she slammed the door as and left "Yo-you didn-n't ha-have to do th-that" he shrugged and pulled me towards the couch "now what happened, why are you so upset?" I started crying harder as I remembered the days events. I had never really told Luke about the bullying but I don't think I could hold it back anymore "I'm such and loser, I believed him" I'm sure I looked disgusting right now I kept sniffling and my eyes where probably huge, red and puff from all the crying "believed who, what?" He pulled me so I sat right infront of him his hands worked up and down my arms soothingly. "I'm so stupid" I had calmed down a bit but the water works hadn't stopped "what happened Y/N?" He asked firmly "he-he-he" I started sobbing again and Luke's whole demeanor softened, he pulled me into his lap and hugged me tight rubbing small circles with his thumbs on my lower back. I slowly calmed down till I wasn't crying anymore the only sound in the apartment being my sniffles and the loud hum of his air conditioning. "I'm sorry Luke" you mumbled staring at his makeup/tear stained shirt your voice was scratchy and hoarse, he smiled weakly at you "it's fine" you sat back in your own seat and pulled your knees to you face despite the fact you where in a dress you wheren't thinking about that and at the moment it really didn't matter anyway. "now can you please tell me what's going on?" He pleaded putting his hand on my knee I took a deep breath "they wont stop" your voice cracked at the end "who wont stop what?" I bit my lip nervously "tell me Y/N" he urged "Luke they hate me, and its all my fault" "who hates you?" I sighed feeling like crying again but not thinking I had any tears left "everyone" "I don't hate you" he said trying to get me to look at him but I refused "and I'm lucky you don't" he shook his head but before he could say anything I said "look at me, I'm a complete mess, I'm ugly, stupid and pathetic what guy would ever want me?" I closed my eyes and turned my head away from Luke "no your not Y/N your beautiful and smart and funny. Your kind and sweet and you light up any room you walk into" he said firmly and I shook my head "he stood me up" you mumbled "he was never interested in me it was probably just some bet to see who could hurt me the worst" I sighed "I guess I deserve it I should have known a guy like him would never be interested in ME" he grabbed my hand "thats not true your an amazing girl any guy would be lucky to have you" you couldn't help the bitter laugh that escaped "yeah right" "I'm serious Y/N you are incredibly" "if I'm so incredibly why don't you like me?" I finally sobbed out I couldn't hold the feelings in anymore even if it ruined our friendship even if he never wanted to speak to me again, I had to tell him. "Wh-what?" He asked eyes wide, I covered my face with my hands "I'm sorry Luke but I can't take it anymore I've had a crush on you since we met" I confessed preparing myself for him throwing me out but he never did he was quiet so I finally looked up at him he looked frozen in shock. "I know its stupid and that I in no way deserve you but I can't help it" he still didn't move so I stood up ready to leave and cry my eyes out some more but Luke grabbed my hand and pulled me into him. He whispered "I like you too" before connecting our lips in a passion filled kiss. When I pulled away I looked him in the eyes "Luke, don't play with me like that please I couldn't handle that" he shook his head "I'm not playing Y/N I think I'm in love with you" My heart picked up its pace and I bit my lip "I've alway liked you Y/N" I shook my head remembering what I had walked into early "that girl" "Y/N I didn't want to ruin what we had I didn't think in a million years that you liked me back so I dated to get over you, distract myself" he whispered the last part, slightly ashamed for using somebody like that. I pulled his face in for another kiss as the last one ended far to soon.
After a week of us dating he asked me to be his girlfriend and I couldn't be happier. He's helping me through my issues and he talked to the school about the bullying which wasn't great but he meant well. I love him and he loves me and thats all that matters right now.
