A Second Chance to Look With My Heart
Based on a True Story
Chapter 1 – The Man of My Dreams
"… Ever since I met him...I knew he was the one…I know I haven't even met him,
but he was really REALLY hot… and he had a great smile… What could go wrong?…"
This was what I thought to myself the first time I entered high school. I didn't even know his name, I just knew that it would be love at first sight. Just by looking into his face, you could see eyes that would sparkle like a diamond and blond hair that flashed in the sun.
Everything about him was perfect, the way he walked, the way he talked, and especially the way he smiled. I mean, who even knew that his name would impress me further. Ahhhhhhh… Chris Anderson… what a name… I can just imagine being married to him, I would just walk down the street and people would go, "Hi, Mrs. Anderson," or, "Hey, Riley Anderson." It would be heaven as I know it.
Of course, there always, and let me just say ALWAYS a catch to everything. By the second day of school, he was already surrounded by a group of people who were his so called "friends." This made it even harder for me to try to get him to like me all together. I mean, I was like barely in any of his classes and his friends surrounded him like 24/7. So, after looking at all the catches here, I just have one little tiny question…HOW DO I SEE THE PERSON THAT I WANT IF HE'S ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY WEIRD PEOPLE? But, even though I knew it would be impossible to get him, I continued on with life and soon I even made my own friends. They were the bestest friends in the world. They could totally understand girl power and would always be there for me when I needed them. But, even if they cared about me, I personally put them aside for the man I loved (I mean who needs friends when you have a boyfriend….geesh….).
Even with my friends, Lauren and Paige, out of the way (MOST OF THE TIME!), I still thought about him in every class I had, everyday, I didn't care which subject it was. Sometimes, it would even put me in big trouble. There was even one day where I burnt myself in foods class and got pushed against the wall in gym, all in the same day, just because I was picturing him in my arms. Even when my images landed me a one way ticket into detention, I continued to think about him. My friends, even tried to pitch in (so much for friendship… those gossiping traitors …I didn't want their help… but NO…what could I do?… they wouldn't leave me alone) . They tried to get me as close as I could to Chris, but that really didn't help and he continued to pretend that I wasn't there, I mean like, how mean is that?
Soon, my love even got out of hand and my grades started dropped from B's to C-'s and from 94's to 45's. I soon ended up in detention almost every day of the week, where I had to use my beautiful clean fingers to scrub desks, inside and out, with a tissue, and if the tissue ripped, I had to start all over again. I probably broke a nail like 20 times, it was so sad.
But, as mad as I was, I thought, HOW COULD I BLAME THIS ON HIM? HOW IS IT HIS FAULT? I mean, just by looking at the situation, you can TOTALLY tell that I it was all the work of his friend's. I had the last straw, I had to get rid of his friends. I called up my friends, and together the three of us joined together to go against Chris's friends, Kevin and Matthias. But before we do that, LET'S GO SHOPPING!
