• normaly i keep to myself. i honestly don't understand why today was different. there is a boy named josh. he's very cute, and popular. unlike me. i'm just a gothic outsider. today he came up to me and said, "hey, i'm josh. you have really pretty eyes you know that?" it shocked me so much. usually people see all the eyeliner and dont bother to look farther. "i'm Mia. uhh, is that some sort of pick up line?" he smiled and said "that obvious huh?" "yes, but it doesnt matter. there is no reason for you to like me, even if you did we couldnt date." he looks bewildered like no one has ever rejected him. no one probably has. "your mysterious, and practicly the only girl who doesnt stare at me like i'm a god." i blushed. "and why couldnt we date?" i looked at him like its was obvious. i darted my eyes to all the whispers and pointing."because your cool, and i'm a freak. i would ruin your 'reputation' " "your worried about them? i dont care about them. only you." i sighed and gave in. " fine i'll try. but dont expect me to go all preppy or somthing" "i dont want you to." i smiled weakly, and he leaned over to kiss my cheek. his ex- girlfriend,katy, saw. she glared at me. i looked down and kept eating as he walked away.

    the next day he came straight up to me. "hey!" "hi?" "whats up??" "uhh. . nothing really. i need to do my math home work." he waited then said, " oh um. . .ok." just then i heard katy whisper "whats going on with them? he can do soooo much better then her" i looked down. "whats wrong?" "why. . ." i paused and looked up at him. "why did you ask me out?" he paused and glaired at katy. "you mystify me. i have a very uncommon attraction to you. you make me happy." i smiled and hugged him. we walked to class with his arm slung over my shoulder. the day passed quickly. at the end of the day i was getting my skatebaord when katy hit my books to the ground. "freak." she said then pushed me away. i sttared at her walk away and started to gather my books. josh ran up to me. "what happend??!!" "nothing out of the ordinary." he helped me with my books and helped me up. "she's just jealous. she'll get over it." "and what if she doesnt?!" he paused and said "well i dont care. i have you." " ok well," i handed him a folded paper, "heres my number. call me later." "thanks." he kissed my cheek and walked away. i skated home in a daze.

    the next day i walked into school and people were pointing and laughing at me. "hey look! the lesbian freak is here!!" some one yelled out. katy and her 'followers' walked up. "so,mia. to bad your little secret got out." "what secret?! i'm not gay you b***h!" i eyed her with disgust. "they dont know that." that did it. "WHY DO YOU HAVE TO RUIN MY LIFE?" "because its so pathetic its fun." i ran out crying. josh saw. "mia!! whats wrong!!?" "shut up!! this is all your fault!! i can't handle this!! were done!" i ran across the street and he ran over to katy. "what did you do?" "oh nothing. i exposed her for what she is. a lesbian freak." "she isnt gay! this doesnt change anything! i'm never going to like you!" he ran after me. "mia!!!! listen to me!! i need you!! you cant just leave me!!" i ran out and kissed his lips with tons of passion." i love you" i whispered. "i love you, too" he whispered back stroking my hair. "come on. lets get back" we walked across the street and a truck came. out of no where. we were hit. well he was, i wasn't. "JOSH!!! JOSH WAKE UP!!" i screamed and screamed but nothing happend. i really shouldnt have expected him to. nothing good ever come to me. and when it does, it soon leaves. who said love has a happy ending?
