Rainbow Flag pt.1

     Hello. I'm Caitlin, Caitlin Everlor, and I'm here to tell you about my life. More specifically, why my life was cut so short. So, hold to your hats, it's going to be a bumpy ride. I suppose it's only best to start from the beginning.

     Friday, May 8: First day of  summer
Leon Hanes. Captain of the football team, class president, hottest guy in the school, and....my boyfriend. Yep I'm dating the most well known guy in school. At this moment, I'm hanging out with my best friend, Hayden. She is the prettiest girl in the school. She has curly brown hair, green eyes, long, flowing lashes, plump lips-
   Probably should have mentioned that I'd been questioning my sexuality.

      I started to develop a.......crush on Hayden the last few months. And I planned on telling her. I pulled out my phone and texted her.

C: hey, can you come over?
H:yeah, sure

A little while later, I heard a knock on the door. I opened it, not surprised to see Hayden standing there.

"Hey Cate, what's up?" I shut the door behind her.

"Well, I think I might have a small, teeny-weeny crush on you." I told her. I felt my face heat up, and I knew I was blushing. I waiting for her to say something, but she didn't. She just walked out the door.

I don't remember all the details of the story, but I do know that Leon had been very secretive lately, but I chose to ignore it. That was the worst mistake of my life.

     Monday, May 10: I decided to go to the mall to clear my head. I walked a round for a while, then I stop. Around the corner, I saw Leon, and he was with Hayden. But they were kissing, not just kissing, but full on making out.

"Omg, Friday, I went to Caitlin's house, and she told me she had a crush on me. Can you believed that? Haha!" I heard Hayden say.

"Wow, I knew she was weird, but I didn't know she was that weird. Who else did you tell?" He asked.

"Just, like, EVERYONE!" They both started laughing, then started to kiss again. They walked into the bathroom, but I didn't stick around long after that. I ran home and into my room. I started crying, and couldn't stop.

      I didn't know it at the time, but my whole life was about to fall apart. That was the first of many incidents that would make my life a living hell.
