Prologue
Edited
Most books that we obsess over these days are about the girl who never gets noticed and the popular boy that she's been pinning after her whole life. We follow their predictable stories to the point where we can no longer tell the difference between reality and fiction.
From these books we expect too much from life, we find ourselves falling for the bad boy but we always end up heartbroken when they pay us no attention, that's just the way it is.
Books like these are purely for entertainment but it taints our views on the world, although I happen to love them they're just not real.
We forget that boys don't look our way unless we're in the same social standing as they are, and nothing is going to change that because at the end of the day they wouldn't be seen dead with someone who studies hard and cares about their grades.
This is because within the people that they associate themselves with are beautiful girls that they would rather be around. Nothing changes and you see this every day during education; these types of books give us false hope and it's not fair.
We forget that actually we (the girl population) don't do anything about the people that we like because we're scared. We end up expecting the love interest to know that we like them and then get disappointed when nothing happens.
The truth is when you read these books you always see that one guy who has other things going on which in turn causes him to become the jerk that he is, but actually they most likely don't have anything wrong and they are literally just an arse. However, having this in mind it makes us see the good in these shitty people and allow ourselves to be heartbroken yet again.
It's difficult when you find out that you have a crush on the most attractive popular guy at your school and you start imagining the perfect scenarios in your head, then it hurts more when you realise that they will never happen.
The truth of the matter is though that more often then not you have a crush on someone you're quite close with, and so when you figure this out it's when you go into shock mode, you turn insecure and you worry about everything that you do.
So imagine my horror when I found out that I had a crush on one of my best friends.
Well they wouldn't call it a crush if it didn't hurt.
