How Not To Befriend a Boy | original

First, be an immature twelve-year-old. This is exactly as easy as it sounds.

Second, meet a boy. Don't think about him, but you do.

Third, be lonely. Being lonely is very important. If you're not lonely enough, you won't fall for the first person who shows the tiniest bit of kindness to you.

━━ ❈ ━━

In the end you're just two slightly lonely, slightly selfish people, not broken enough to warrant sympathy, but not whole enough to be functioning. You two are licking each other's wounds because no one else will.

A hopeless highschool romance between two slightly lonely, slightly broken people who had nobody but each other. Oneshot.
