My name is Avery Miller, I'm invisible, Anonymous even, to the opposite sex. I've been in love with Nate Davis since the second grade. But this love has remained unrequited. Nate has been dating Hannah Hastings since forever up until last summer when they broke up. I knew even though he was single, I had zero chances with him. So I subjected to googling, How to attract a lover. And I ended up here, in this lame site, also titled How to attract a lover, it had weird written all over it. But unlike me, I ditched my instincts and went ahead to do what the stupid site required. The instructions were simple : Get a candle, Lit the candle, write his name in a piece of paper, with a heart beside it, burn the piece of paper, get the ashes and blow it into the air. "How difficult could that be", so I thought. Well I'll tell you how difficult it was, difficult enough to ruin my life, and that, that is exactly what it did.
"So your go!" She said, smiling up at me brightly.
"Wait what?" I answered with a look of confusion playing upon my face.
"Well I just poured my heart out to you..." Fran said cheekily with a wink. "Now it's your go, come 'on Beadle, out with it!" She said raising her eyebrows at me.
"Well what do you want me to say?" I asked blankly.
"Tell me why you sleep around and then break girls' hearts." She replied with the same perplexity as me, she then bowed her head down to rest on my chest again. She must have felt me tense next to her at her question so she lifted her head and our eyes met. She gave me a reassuring smile and I felt more at ease.
"Well it's pretty simple really." I said, pausing dramatically. "I break girl's hearts so that they can't break mine first." I answered expressionlessly.
