What do you do when you're trying to ignore a girl but you keep on thinking about her?

Living without Julian in my life has been very terrible. I thought that I'd get used to it but with every day that passes by, it seems to be gradually turning into a painful reality.

I miss her, I want to run to her and tell her that I love her and I need her. Yes, I love her, I don't know what love is but with her, I find the urge and need to learn more about this strange feeling that can make a grown man cry.

She's all I think about and she's the only one on my mind. I love her, damn it, I've fallen head over heels for her.

When that foolish guy dumped pudding all over my girl, I lost it. I couldn't just sit back and do nothing. I might be 'mad at her' but that doesn't mean that I don't care about her.

When she stared at me in the hallway and thanked me for standing up for her. I wanted to tell her that she didn't have to thank me because it is infact my duty as her love interest but I couldn't.

Instead, I was a coward and hid behind meaningless words. Words that hold no meaning or power in the face of my feelings for Julian.

I wanted to punch Coach Kirk so badly in his miserable face. Even after she fell down, he was still hard on her. I couldn't bare to see her in the arms of another guy so I rushed to her side and picked her up.

I try very hard not to put myself in difficult situations with her but all she ever seems to do is tease me. It's like she has no idea what she does to me. She has no idea of the impact that she has on certain parts of my body.

All of my hard work to pretend not to care and ignore her were thrown down the drain when I almost kissed her. I'm sure that no matter what I say, she won't believe me anymore.

The final examination start in three days time. I have to pass this exam and make sure we win the championships so that I can get my football scholarship.

I know what you're thinking, my step father is extremely wealthy but I made a promise to my father before he died that I would get a scholarship into a prestigious college because of my football skills.

The scholarship coach or something like that is coming around so I have to impress him because I heard that he never gives people second chances.

Our film assignment is due tomorrow and I'm currently editing the video. I don't really get it but Julian said she'll be doing all the talking but she'll give me all the visual credits.

I saved the edited video on three devices because I've seen different things that happen to private files in movies. There's always a bad person and that person will delete the file so that the good ones will fail.

"Why are you still hanging out with Julian?" Whitney came into my car without even asking

"Whitney, if you don't mind, I have an assignment due in thirty minutes" I said

"Yeah, everyone's in the theatre, it has begun. Just answer my question"

"I'm hanging out with her because I like her personality" I have to play it cool because Whitney is a mad dog.

"She lied to you and you still care about her?"

"Yes, even that won't make me stop caring for her"

"Well, it looks like I spent my time doing nothing" She groaned

"Wait, Are you the one who told everyone the truth about Julian?" I asked
