Alex was different. To others, they saw it as a bad difference, but I saw it as a good one. The beginning of this year just happened to be bad for him. Everyone hated him, but I didn't. Everyone whispered foul things about him, but I didn't. People told him false, rude things, but I didn't. No one ever tied to talk to him, give him a friend. I did. He was kind hearted, and had so much love. He had a huge heart. People just couldn't see it. They couldn't feel it. But I could. His heart beats. His huge, warm heart. He had a beautiful heart. No one would even try to see that. I did. No one ever had a romance with him. Maybe I will. Maybe I'll take a risk. Maybe I'll get my heart broken. Maybe I can be fixed. Maybe he can be fixed. Sometimes, all one person needs is you.

Just funny things and things that I feel like talking about. I'm telling you, this might be interesting to read about. Someone's real thoughts. Have fun. "Why did you start writing this?" you ask. Read the title. "Why not?"

Tanner never talks to Bree, even when they are in the same grade, and the days that he rides his skateboard past her as he walks home, letting her get a whiff of his amazing scent. Since Bree never really knows him she can't have a crush on him, but she can have an attraction to him. If they finally start talking, will Tanner see that Bree is actually cool, and will Bree be relieved that Tanner isn't a arrogant jerk?

"I want to grow up" Did you say it when you were a kid? I know I did. Have you regretted growing up at some point in your life? Have you wished you could be a careless child once again? I know you have. Everyone has. The more you grow the bigger the challenges, the obstacles, the pain. Life gets serious. You get serious. You forget to smile at the morning sun shining down your face.
