Normal Teenage things:
love, cliques, boyfriends, flirting, mean girls, public display of affection, more pathetic flirting...
alright, let's go to the main point of all these;
LOVE.
or as wikipedia defines it
"Love is a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection ("I love you") to pleasure ("I loved that meal"). It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment."
PATHETIC.
yes I am one of those bitter hearted people who think love is nonesense.
I mean, seriously? since when is romance in teenagers considered real? it's all for show. fling. just to have company. sheesh. disgusting.
also, since you're most likely a teenager going through some story,
you know that there's been an uprising of teenage hot boy vampires and their love stories and teenage wolf boys and whatnots. those dreamy, blood sucking, but good looking guys.
Let's put all of that into
one
weird.
tale
with a twist!
"Blood thristy, teenage girl monster kills handsome young man."
sorry to pop your bubble, there are no handsome vampires and monsters in this story.
but there's a young lady who's just like that, in a way.
terrified?
run.
brave?
read on.
this is the weirdest, most messiest story description.
