Lovestruck

Chapter 2

**Bobby's P.O.V**

I've always been a super awkward kid. I was never able to talk to people, especially girls. Bethany was the first girl I was ever able to meet and automatically feel so comfortable with her. I still remember the first day we met in fourth grade. I used to stare at her everyday at lunch when she sat there by that tree. Her hair was always perfectly put into two braids and her clothes were so pretty. I hated school and I hated my life at home, so Beth was my little piece of perfection. Until that day, when those girls stared harrasing her. I knew that, that was my chance to save her and be there for her. After scaring the mean girls away and walking her home, we became best friends. It was just me and her for a while until Beth met Agatha. I was a little disappointed when Beth first introduced me to Agatha. I thought Beth and I would be the dynamic duo forever. Agatha is really sweet and she is super attractive, but she's lacking something special. According to Beth's philosophy, everyone is a color and I would definitely consider Agatha a blue or a black. She's great and all but there's nothing interesting about her. I feel like as soon as I met her, I automatically knew everything I needed to know. Last year, this girl in my algebra class named Mary told me that Agatha had a crush on me. I'm not sure if that's true. But even if it was it wouldn't matter at all to me.

Beth says that girls throw themselves all over me all the time, but honestly I don't even notice. I just wish she would understand that she's the only girl I actually notice. Sometimes I feel like we could actually have a chance and other times I feel like I've been totally friend zoned. She tells me that I'm her best friend and the only guy in her life, but does that mean I'm boyfriend material or big brother material?

I hate school this year. There's this awful new kid in school named Tony. He's blonde and thin and talented and freakishly nice and happy. All the girls in school are in love with him now instead of me. To make matters worse, he's in all the same classes as Bethany. I'm in all my classes with Agatha this year, unfortunately. Everyone is always saying that Tony and Beth like each other and it really pisses me off. I hate Tony. What kind of a name is Tony anyway? I feel like he's part of the Witness Protection Program or something and they couldn't give him a better name than Tony. He's probably killed fifteen people already. I don't want my girl hanging around with a murderer.

It sucks because I can tell Beth really likes being around him. They're always laughing and talking and talking and laughing! What could they possibly be laughing about or talking about? She should be laughing at me! Well not at me...with me. Anyway, what does Tony have that I don't? I really need Bethany back.

Agatha is starting to get really annoying. She just keeps on talking to me and staring at me and hugging me, it's so annoying. She keeps telling me about her problems like I'm some sort of therapist. I thought maybe if I got closer to Agatha, maybe I could finally get over Bethany. But it isn't working. In fact, I'm only liking Bethany more! I need to get Tony out of the way. Or maybe I could try and make Beth jealous. Beth's always been the jealous type. Maybe if I dated someone really pretty and amazing, she would realize she had feelings for me. I have to do whatever it takes.
