Dear Lisa M.,


First of all, I refused to call you Lisa Manoban. You think you're so cool because you have the same surname with a famous football star. Just so you know, your surname sounds like
'man on van' and yeah, it's weird.

Did you know that when you kissed me I would come love you? Sometimes I think yes. Definitely yes. You know why? Because you think EVERYONE loves you Lisa. That's what I hate about you. Because everyone does love you. Including me. I did.

Here are your worst qualities:

You burp and don't say and don't say excuse me. You just assume that everyone will find it charming. And if they don't, who cares, right? Wrong! You do care a lot about what people will think of you.

You always take the last piece of pizza. You never ask if anyone else wants it. That's rude.

You're so good at everything. Too good. You could've the guys a chance to be good, but you never did.

You kissed me for no reason. Even though I knew you liked Rosé, and you knew you like Rosé, and Rosé knew you liked Rosé. But still you did it. Just because you would. I really want to know: Why would you do that to me? My first kiss was supposed to be something special. I've read about it what it's supposed to feel like --- fireworks and lightning bolts and the sound of waves crashing to your ears. I didn't have any of that. Thanks to you it was as unspecial as a kiss would be.

The worst part of it is, that stupid nothing kiss is what made me start liking you. I never did before. I never even thought about you before. Rosé always has always said that you are the best looking girl in our grade, and I agreed, because sure, you are. But I still didn't see the allure of you. Plenty of people are good-looking. That doesn't make them interesting or intriguing or cool.

Maybe that's why you kissed me. To mind control on me, to make me see that way. It worked. Your little trick worked. From then on, I saw you. Up close, your face wasn't so much beautiful as handsome. How many handsome girls have you seen before? For me, it was just one. You. I think it has a lot to do with your lashes. You really have really long lashes. Unfairly long.

Even though you don't deserve it, fine, I'll go into all the things I like(d) about you:

One time in science, nobody wanted to be partners with Kim Jisoo because she has BO, and you volunteered like it was no big deal. Suddenly, everybody thought Kim Jisoo wasn't so bad.

You're still in chorus, even though all other girls take bands and orchestra now. You even sing solos, and you dance, and you're not embarrassed.

You were the last girl to get tall. And now you're the tallest, but it's like you earned it. Also when you were short, no one even cared that you're short --- the girls still liked you and the coach still picked you first for basketball in gym.

After you kissed me, I liked you for the rest of the seventh grade and most of eighth. It hasn't been easy, watching you with Rosé, holding hands and making out at the bus loop. You probably make her feel very special. Because that's your talent, right? You are good at making people feel special.

Do you know that it's like to like someone so much you can't stand it and know they'll never feel the same way? Probably not. People like you don't have to suffer through those kinds of things. It was easier after Rosé moved and we stopped being friends. At least then I didn't have to hear about it.

Now that the year is almost over, I know for sure that I am also over you. I'm immune yo you know, Lisa. I am really proud to say that I'm the only girl in this school who has been immunized to the charm of Lalisa Manoban. All because I really had a bad dose of you in seventh grade and most of eighth. Now, I never ever had to worry about catching you again. What a relief! I bet if I did ever kiss you again, I would definitely catch something and it wouldn't be love. It would be an STD!
