(Based on a true story and still going...)
The girl with black hair walked into the classroom for the first time....so young she didn't know anyone. She saw, in the corner, a boy with blond hair, struggling to balance a red lego onto his makeshift building. She walked over, butterflies in her stomach, so nervous to talk to anyone, took the lego from his hand and placed it on top of the building. The boy looked at her, starting to smile. The girl smiled back. She started to walk away when the building collapsed. She thought the boy would be infuriated. Instead the boy fell over and started to giggle. The girl started to smile and giggle as well. What the girl didn't know was...this was the start of her first real friendship.
The girl with black hair is now older....roughly the start of her teen years. She noticed the boy with blonde hair has grown magnificently over the summer. It's the middle of the school year and she sees him with a girl with blonde hair. He forgot all about her.... and their friendship blew away.
The girl with black hair is now starting her first year at high school. She looks at her schedule and sees that she has a class with him. The girl would sometimes talk to him occasionally but she was shy + he never seemed to notice. But then the girl noticed something...every girl who seemed to care for him was a liar. They used him like a tissue and left him to suffer. She watched him turn into a depressing soul. She wished she could find the right words to help him but she couldn't.
The girl with black hair saw him give a flower to another pretty girl today.....and, yet again, had his heart beaten. She has had enough. It's time for her to fight back and if she could say one thing to his face (because she is too shy too) and if he was ever listening, it would be this:
"You gave that flower to the wrong girl.".......
"That flower should have been given to the girl who was watching you from the corner with the red lego....."
