The Unexpected Love Story

Chapter 1

Don't you just hate when love stabs you in the back? And when you finally get a love interest, and they pretend for a while, just to hurt you?

Yep, that's what happened to me. I'm a sophomore in high school. Last year, I finally made it to high school, and it was one of the best things, because, like most girls, we hope for love. Well a main thing of going after love, is to actually have the courage to talk and be cool. Welp not this girl.

Your main girl is scared. But this year, I had a goal: To get a love. Gosh! Why is it so hard?

So a couple of months back, there was a cute, tall, and funny/ weird guy in my gym class. He came up to me and my girlfriends randomly, and started playing volleyball with us. Man wasn't that a fun time. And he was sooo cut- Wait what am I saying! Focus Grace! Anyhow, if you know me, I'm not that social.

I'm not popular, but I'm not one of the weird people. I'm also not a nerd, but I'm not a dummy.  I'm an in between girl. So average, I guess. So after a week of the same pattern, I kept wondering 'why is an older hot guy playing with weirdos like us?' I never found out.

One day, in some impossible way I got the courage to talk, and kidd around. What surprised me me was that he actually did it back! Score Grace! Weeks went by, and we started talking, and I thought I was in heaven. 'How in the world is this guy still hanging around with me?' I kept questioning. We started to get to know one another like family, hobbies, extra curricular activities, etc. We then came across a topic of relationships. He said that he didn't want a girlfriend till his senior year (he's a junior. One year difference.)

Now usually that's a sign of a guy testing you out. But in this case, I still have no clue. Now me, I'm ready for life, a boyfriend, college, etc. Now the next step was to get a guys number. How in the world was I supposed to do that?

I spent hours upon hours searching YouTube for ways to get a guys number. (Don't judge, I may or may not be desperate) And yet I wondered ' How hard could this possibly be?' I was wrong. Again.

I set so many dates and plans on asking him. But did that plan work? I don't think so. 'What is freaking wrong with me?', I kept thinking. Of course you have one of those friends who's nosey, and will figure out your business. Yeah, let me introduce you to my friend, Karen. Oh Lord, she kills me! But thank goodness, she actually helped me and Kyle's relationship. Once Karen figures out what's been happening, she dragged Kyle, like 'literally' dragged Kyle over to me, took are phones and wrote in our contacts. Extreme and harsh, but sweet.

So time went on and we texted a bit and talked like usual and hanged out. But then a change in the wind happened. Ugh of course. Just when life gets good, something always has to interfere. Exams of the first semester came and went. Trust me it was stressful. But to add to the stress, Kyle started to ignore my texts! It went from texts to school. I tried and attempted to talk to him, and what does he do... flat out Ignores me!

When the next semester came, I was totally blown off! It literally kills me. And also for him to stand with his friends that are girls, freaking girls! I hate to admit this but I kindove developed a feeling of jealousy. And there is nothing like your first 'real' crush.

Oh and what's worse is that tomorrow is Monday, where I'll have to go to that horrible place and see him and suffer. Great. I would say 'hopefully tomorrow will be a good day' but that would just be lying.
