Why is Love So Blind?

I always knew him. He was always there. It’s not like he never knew me, we just didn’t... talk... to each other. It was just awkward for us. Then one year, we actually started talking. That’s when it all began.

“I knew you’d like him sooner or later!” said one of my best friends, Makayla.

“Ya, seriously! Practically the whole school knew one of you would start liking each other sooner or later! If only they knew YOU liked him!” exclaimed my other best friend, Alyssa.

They were so much alike! Everyone always confused them for sisters! They both had brown hair, brown/hazelish eyes, and freckles. Plus, they were very outgoing, loud and friendly to everyone. Then there was me, a quiet, asian, evil prankster. I had no idea how a weirdo like me, got stuck with those two! But I still loved them. As friends of course!

“Come one Em! (Which was short for Ember.) You have to tell him!” screamed Alyssa.

“Shut up Al! People are staring! Anyone could hear you including him!” I screamed back at Alyssa.

“Guys, just please hurry up! I don’t want to be late to math... again, because you two are having a fight over a boy Em’s crushing over!”

Wow. Makayla was such a good person! She was smart, pretty, and talented. How could she not have a boyfriend yet. Of course Alyssa was all of those things too, but she already had a boyfriend. “Let’s just get to math.” I mumbled as I pulled Alyssa along.
