I have a story for you all... It all started 2 years ago, with an emo but flamboyant teenage boy, and a girl put through so much abuse she was so afraid to show her true self to anyone... It was a cold December night and the boy, Fred, was with his step brothers Cody and Everett. Everett was going on a date with his at the time girlfriend Karen. Cody was attracted to a girl,Kayla, who was in a play for her school that night so Fred went with him, when he got there he saw a girl, Fred's hands felt sweaty, he felt as if he and the girl were the only ones in the dark theater room. The girl was beautiful, she had dyed bright red hair, She was about 5 and a half feet maybe a few inches more. She had a bit more curve than Fred was used to but it didn't matter to him, he was in love with her, all at first sight. Over the course of the next year, he started to notice her in public. Fred would catch glimpses of her walking by while he has on the bus, growing closer and closer to just talking to her... but he couldn't... because he was in a relationship with a girl, Maxx, who cheated on him constantly. He finally called it off with Maxx in November almost a year later. The girl approached him in their chorus class... Fred was scared and hesitant to talk to her, but he did... "Hi... I'm Fred..." the girl responded "I'm Lynn, You're a really great singer, where'd you learn to sing like that?" Fred felt happy that Lynn was talking to him after he practically waited a year for her to even notice him... "I really like Queen, that's actually where I get my name. I love their music and i guess i just had about 8 years of practice i guess... I personally don't think im any good at it. You're really better than me..." Lynn shot Fred a smile then he did the same... Fred then looked at Lynn with an expressionless, blank face because he remembered that Lynn was with James, Kayla's taller, skinnier, uglier older brother, who treated Lynn just like Maxx treated Fred. "You okay Fred?" Lynn asked. "Yeah... Yeah I'm fine... How are things with James?" She looked as if a lightbulb went off in her head, then she said "Yeah... Yeah we're good..." She looked like she wanted to cry... And Fred almost did... His phone made a buzz noise... It was Maxx... She texted Fred and told him she missed him and she wanted him back, Lynn asked who it was and he said "Maxx... My girlfriend" It KILLED him to say that... And it killed Lynn to hear it, A few weeks later Lynn broke up with James, and Maxx and Fred were still together, Fred got a text, it was from Lynn, Still madly in love with Lynn, Fred responded. She asked how things were with Maxx... "Good, thanks for asking..." Fred sent. Lynn and Fred carried on talking for a few more minutes... "I still cant believe you can sing like that!" Lynn said. "Me either, my family doesn't think I'm any good at. a few weeks later Fred and Maxx broke up for the last time so he was upset and sat alone at lunch and Lynn offered Fred a seat next to her, and he took it, they sat in silence sharing smiles for a few minutes until they left for class, Fred wanted to tell Lynn about Maxx very badly. They had a history class a few hours later and the teacher partnered them up to work together and Fred told Lynn about Maxx. He started crying to Lynn and she hugged him, three weeks later, after they talked more and more every day, Fred's step-brother Ray, Who Lynn had recently told about the step brother secret that was kept from him, asked him about a crush he had, then Fred did the same, it was obviously Lynn. Lynn was a mere few feet away and heard him. throughout the rest of the school day Lynn kept asking him about it hoping it was her... it was, as she found out at the end of the day and held his hand. the next day at 8:55 am, February 8th Lynn and Fred finally got together and have been together ever since. it was also February 8th, 2018 at 8:55 am that I, Mathew "Freddie" Dasch got together with the beautiful Shelby Lynn Louveau and we've been together ever since...
