Excuse me, but I don't understand why people are guilt tripped for not having a significant other. I've gotten genuine surprise from adults and peers alike when I say I don't have a boyfriend. Maybe they are shocked by my resolute spirit that will not be crushed by their belittling reactions. I feel the tang of a backhanded insult when people try to make me feel better when they nonchalantly say, "you'll find someone," in an optimistic

Then my mom went home and we took pictures for our protime. Of course I looked like crap because I was crying two minutes before we took the pictures. Then we went out of the class and went to second period, and I had ELA. I went in and saw where we were supposed to sit, so I went and sat there. There was this kid named Derek Olsen in the same class. So the teacher talked about class procedures and then the class was over. Then Derek came up to me and we started talking.

My stomach started speaking to me as I was passing a Burger King. As I approached the register, I recognized that the Cashier was my classmate Kimbre. “ You know we ran out of burgers right?”, she said. Then I replied, “No, you don't say. Does Taco Bell run out of Tacos or Pizza Hut, Pizza?” Kimbre was a babe, the way she chewed her bubblegum made me hot! I mustered up the courage to look her in the eyes and I told her that we should hook up for the dance. She just broke up with her boyfriend, he got mono from kissing her best friend, so she was available. I wiped the lonesome tear off her cheek with my finger.

Not even close. It was the weekend. I was lucky enough to get to spend the weekend at my best friend’s house. She was a little more street smart than I was at that age, or at least she gave the impression that she had been around a while. Her parents were much more lenient than mine, and I really enjoyed her company. She and I concocted a plan for later that evening. As soon as her parents went to bed, we unlocked the back door and went back into her room. After we were pretty sure her parents were asleep, we climbed out her bedroom window to begin an adventure known as growing up. Freedom at last, at least for a few hours. We lived in a small town outside of Chicago, which had not yet been touched by crime. We weren’t afraid to walk the streets at night, how naïve. I remember the blue Ford Galaxy that pulled up to the curb, windows rolled down. Did we want to go for a ride? Well, of course we did. That was the reason we crawled out that bedroom window in the first place. Two guys in a nice ride, why not? We were ready to be teenagers and do the things teenagers do. I wasn’t really sure what that was, yet, but I was ready to learn. My friend Vicky jumped in the front seat, and I jumped in the backseat with the best looking guy I’d ever seen. It was love at first sight. We never did give them our real names. Chances are they didn’t give us their real names either. It was scary and exciting to be

Although I didn’t have rehearsals, I stayed to help the lackluster crew with everything. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the crew, but they were failing miserably. At first I was attempting to complete my Geometry homework Maupin had assigned us earlier that day. Kenzie, Donovan, and Lisa were sitting at the parallel cafeteria table. I heard some vague mumbling so I responded with “Yeah. Ok.” All of the sudden the people around me flipped out, and I was undoubtedly confused. I questioned Lisa about what had happened and she explained that Donovan and I were now dating. This shocked and confused me, mainly for the reason that I had no clue about anything at that moment. Lisa explained everything to me, and I told her that it didn’t count because I was working on my homework and paying no attention to what was happening. Donovan moaned, and rushed away in frustration. Roughly 10 minutes later he actually asked me out while I was actually paying attention. I replied with yes, mainly because he was really nice and complimentary towards me. The two of us were an awkward couple, and we mutually decided to stay friends about a week later. But we still played lovers on the Oklahoma

We had two classes together, English, and History. They were both ESOL classes, so everyone basically knew each other from the last semester since there weren’t many students in ESOL. Jennifer was a new student, therefore me and my group of friends instantly noticed her. She had long black hair with a pale skin tone, and her makeup was done well, and she was also dressed well. She walked into our History class, and my former friend Martin took a quick glance

I don’t remember the exact date because at the time I didn’t want to seem crazy but I do remember everything else. It was the summer before freshman year and I had a major crush on a boy going into 10th grade. He was

Maybe twenty minutes later I was at my old, boring high school surrounded by my fellow classmates who, in reality, probably didn’t even know my name. That is how much I was invisible in my school. This is the third year I had been going to highschool with these kids and they probably didn’t even know I exist. I met Nicole at the usual spot by the water fountain and the two of us trudged off to first period pre-calculus like we did every other morning. The day continued on as normal. From math I went to english, physics, met up with Nicole for lunch in the patio then headed off to history to end the

It was about 8 o'clock in the evening on a Friday night, I was on my phone watching Netflix and then I receive a text message from my good friend Nick, a tall dude with crazy hair, usually wearing basketball shorts and always having a preposterous look on his face, in a good way of course. He asked me if I wanted to go skiing tomorrow with him and a couple others. and of course I said yes. Later that night I was picked up in Nick's car and I spent the night at his house.

During the beginning of senior year, I still had feelings for him and I still didn’t have the guts to tell him. I told Sharae about it and she gave me some advice. On September 30th 2016, I went to a pep rally that was held outside the school. The pep rally was for football players playing against Ridgepoint High School for a “Pink Out” game the next day. Sharae came up to me and said “IJ! Where’s Cam? Have you told him that you like him yet?” “No, I didn’t tell him yet and I don’t even know where he is.” I said nervously. I felt someone covering my eyes from behind me and I heard someone say “Guess who?” Of course I knew it came from a guy and it sounded just like Cameron. “Is this Cameron?” I asked. I turned around and gave him a hug. “So I heard you had a crush on me since junior year but was too scared to speak up.” I was in shock when he told me this. I didn’t tell anyone else that I had a crush on Cameron, except Sharae. “Um... Where did you hear this from?” I questioned him. He told me that he heard from different people and it was going around for quite a

After school had gotten out for everyone Asher, Sarah, Abbey and I were all hanging out. I had been friends with Abbey since 8th grade I met her at a birthday

I paused as then as I started to flashback to senior year when marlin first told me that she had a crush on Zach but then I had told her that I was dating Zach. I felt bad because me as a friend I should have known but when it came to boy’s marlin had a crush on everyone I just didn’t think she would have a crush on Zach. Zach was the popular boy in school but he was also the bad boy I guess that’s why every girl liked him, but he changed when I meet him he became a sweet heart and a gentleman.

It was my sophomore year. The weather was partially cloudy and felt just right. It was not too hot nor too cold, and it’s also football season. A season everyone at school gets hyped up for, even if our football team wasn 't the best in the district. The marching band is getting ready to perform our field show for maybe the second time. Of course, band members including me stay after school just to hang out and prepare ourselves to perform. They invited me to 7 Eleven to buy snacks, I tagged along because I was craving Cheetos at that time. Juan and Andre, which were both freshmen at that time were the ones who invited me to the convenience store. Juan is short, funny and has always been laid back about everything. Andre was the complete

As soon as French was over, I pulled out my cell-phone. I searched for Mike 's name in my phone but didn 't find it. "Maybe I passed it," I thought as I slowly went down the list of contacts. I stopped, seeing a name I didn’t recognize. Laughing, I clicked on "Badass" and hoped it was Mike as I texted. I got a reply almost immediately and it was definitely him. We talked for a while and then I had a realization: I never told him my name. Curious, I typed Mike another message, quickly asking him what he saved me as in his phone. "It 's embarrassing," was his reply to me. "I doubt that." "Okay but don 't think I 'm weird, okay," he questioned my promise not to laugh a couple times and a few minutes later I got the message that would change my entire view of my high school for the rest of my life: "Future Girlfriend",
