Love Story

She had always had a certain darkness about her that severely increased when she hit her tweens. She was stuck inside a dreadful world, filled with hate, anger, and bitterness. It was time for a change. Her first day of school could have been better, not knowing anyone she sat off in a corner. None of the guys she saw that walked by were especially cute, she had to pick and choose from what she had. After about a week she began to form a crush on one of the guys in the class. He was very shy and she sat next to him in science class. With the help of new friends she gathered up the courage to talk to him and since she had nothing better to say asked him nothing but awkward questions. Her crush soon turned into an infatuation. It was amazing the way he acted that she loved to just watch him, after a month of no interest she gave up and moved on. 8th graders weren't generally her aim but that didn't stop her from liking one of the more popular guys in a grade higher than her own. Iseman Knight was funny and charming, he had a certain appeal that drew her in. She thought about him non-stop and forgot about her previous crush.
One day as she was sitting in geography class he walked in as he was doing so she looked up and couldn't help but want to kiss him. She'd thought this crush was over but after that day he ruled her mind. It had been going around the school that he liked a girl and while all her friends told her it was her she couldn't bring herself to believe it. She was right the crush turned out to be faulty. Days, weeks, months past by and still nothing. After awhile she convinced herself that she didn't need a man to complete her, that's when she met Andrew.
Andrew was a guy she had been eyeing at her church for the past 3 years. He wasn't the best she could get and she knew that but she did like him. Much to her surprise he asked her out only about two weeks after they started talking. She felt her life was complete. She had friends, a boy friend, and a perfect life what more could she need? She was sad when she had to go on vacation for a week and go without seeing him. Her vacation week was great and thought about him all the time and the second she got back hom he dumped her. He had never liked her and actually felt sorry for her, she was so revolted but managed to forgive and forget.
The very second school started again, her eight grade year, she saw that boy, as he walked in, he took her heart. She thought of nothing but him and actually started failing classes because she couldn't pay attention with him near. Again her life was horrible and she was disgusted with the way things were going and therefore took up cutting again. Something about the razorblade on her skin made most things better but no matter how much she deformed herself she could not numb herself to his power. Often she would just sit and stare at him and try to understand what was going on in his head. Christmas came and went. Lonely water fell on the ground. As lonely as she was.
Spirit week was the first week back at school after break. Pajama day, sports day, crazy outfit day, twin day, and green and white day. The day of the game was the best day of her life. Wearing shorts and a t-shirt she huddled close to his warmth and could almost cry of happiness. After the next few days he asked her out. Her life was turned upside down and inside out. They may not be perfect, in fact they are far from perfect, but they fell in love. Each day they learn something and experience something new.

I've never felt this way about anyone. Tell me it's my first boyfriend tell me I'm crazy but honestly I don't give a flying fuck what you think because it's my life. I don't tell you how to live yours unless you ask. I'm not asking.
"Will you be my fish?"
