Love is an illusion

It's funny ya know, wondering about this silly feeling we all are attracted to. Pondering what people say when they talk about their first loves; the butterflies in their stomach, the flushness brought upon their cheeks, the never ending smile. Sometimes I wonder if we can even be that happy, be that intimate and share that bond with another, especially when we are as naive as we are in our teenage years.

So, I set a goal. If I, Abby Michaels can not fall in love with somebody by the end of high school, it will be proven to me that everything my parents have told me my whole life, about young love not being real, is true.

Call me crazy, but I need to find out for myself.

I've never been one for magic tricks; I need to know if this whole love thing is real, or if it is just another illusion.
