Love Sick

Chapter 1

Dear Diary,
I've never had any one diary specially dedicated to feelings so,
Here goes nothing.

April 15 2019

But before I start pouring myself out on these pages,
What should I name you?
My last diary's name was Bob.
I know,
Basic.
How about Alex?
It's gender neutral.
Yeah, let's go with that.

Indiana

Oh,
My name is Aelena Harte by the way.
But you can call me Lena Hartes.
That's what my girlfriend said she'd call me since it kind of rhymes with Queen of Hearts,
But she never does.
Heck,
She hardly ever speaks to me.
I love her a lot but sometimes I feel like she's only dating me because she has nothing better to do.
I mean,
I don't blame her for taking advantage,
I'm pretty easy to get with since I catch feelings really quickly.
Take Mason for example.
I caught feelings for him the moment I laid eyes on him.
It was love at first sight.
But then, he got transferred to a different school and that left me kind of depressed.
I loved him so much that 5 years later,
Meaning now of course,
I still love him.

West Moore High School
8 a.m.

My heart flips every time his name pops up on my screen.
The only thing is,
He never liked me back.
And I mean,
No matter how hard I try or how many relationships I go through,
He just pops up out of nowhere,
With his perfect personality,
And perfect face,
And of course I fall all over again.
I even took a break from speaking to him because my feelings were ruining my relationships.
And just when I fell in love with Kara,
He appeared,
Again.
...and I couldn't help it.
I guess I'm just love sick.

Aelena walked down the main hallway of her high school ready for the first day of her senior year.
She wore her regular graphic-tee and jeans with her favorite pair of old, dirty, not so white anymore converse.
As she looked around the halls, she gripped onto her plain black JanSport backpack seeing quite a few people had had their summer glow up.
Of course Aelena just thought she looked the same as usual.
Boring dirty blonde hair, boring dull skin that didn't glow in the sunlight and a boring face that hardly seemed to smile.
She made her way to her locker and began to put some books inside of it before seeing someone press their body against the locker next to hers.
"I just saw Jackson Simmons' new hair and dammit isn't he just gorgeous."
She knew who it was right away.
Aelena chuckled as she continued to pack her books in the locker.
"You should stop going after boys who don't appreciate your presence Casedi."

Casedi Belle,
My bestfriend since her birth.
She's the best.
She's also the smartest person in our year which says something considering she's a year younger than all of us.
But although she's so smart, she makes the dumbest decisions when it comes to boys.
Always chasing after any jock or bad boy that comes her way,
And as expected,
They all break her heart.

Aelena closed her locker and looked At Casedi as she swooned.
Casedi sighed.
"I know, but they're just so cute."
She pouted.
Aelena rolled her eyes and started to walk down the hallway.
Casedi followed behind her.
"So, what's up with you and little miss cheerleader?"
Casedi asked.
The topic brought a sad smile to Aelena's face.
"Kara and I are fine.
It's just,
I don't know,
Sometimes I feel like she doesn't really like me."
Aelena looked down at the floor as Casedi frowned at her.
Just as they were talking about her, Kara walked down the hallway with the rest of her squad, almost as if she knew the two girls were talking about her.
