Love? Why even bother?

Do you know what it is like to have a huge crush on a guy and he only plays with your head? I hate it when that happens.

Last year in seventh grade I really liked this guy. He was one of my friends. But he is also one of the biggest jerks I know. He thinks everyone is in love with him. He didn't think I liked him though. But the second word got out that I did, all he did was mess with me.

He tells me things like 'Text me!' and 'We need to hand this summer. Call me and we can set up a date," but then the next day he teases me and is a real jerk.

Then over the summer this year I finally got over him. But as soon as he was outta my head he comes marching back in. I didn't expect him to acknoledge me at all. He was walking with his 'too cool for me' friends. But then when he gave me the up and down and looked my straight in the eye and waved to me I knew I was slowing being dragged back in. It may not be a big gesture, but for Mr. I'm-so-popular-and-I'm-too-cool-for-you it is.

He just messes with my head. I don't even know why I try.

But right now I need to save myself and back away from the edge before I fall. Because when I do, that is one seriously deep trench and I have a feeling I wont be returning for a while. That crazy hole we call love. In life we dig a hole, name it love, and slowly but surely fall into it.
