Perfect.

Have you ever met someone and felt like they were perfect? I'm Marci and this is my story.

"She'll never make it to January." Sophie stated.

"Yes I will!" I said in a sing-song voice.

"I don't think so!" Benjamin sung back.

I should explain. My name is Marci Car and I am addicted to pens. Yes, pens. As in the writing utensil.

Anyway, apparently, writing on myself bugged Benjamin so much that he finally snapped. He made me sign a contract stating that I couldn't use a pen, of any sort, until January 2nd. I know I said I could make it, but I think I just lied to them and myself...

Perfect.

Okay, I didn't realise that this stupid contract was going to make me develop feelings for him. But it's just a stupid crush, right? Every since I signed that contract, he's been acting different around me. He started smiling more at me. He apologised countless times when he called me "crazy" and I got upset. His friends have begun acting different, too. They tease him every time I'm near. I asked my friends about it and they said that he probably likes me. I said it was preposterous. Because it is, right?

Perfect.

It is now Christmas Eve (Christmas Break) and for some strange reason, I miss him.

On the last day, we shared the candy bar he got me for Christmas. The green and silver polka dotted wrapping paper in which held the delicious treat, now resides in a box with a heavy duty lock. Sometimes I get it out when I'm sad. I love the name his name is scrawled on the inside. I adore his poor penmanship.

Perfect.

The clock keeps ticking and it's agonizing. Are people supposed to think about their crush 24/7?

There is something wrong with me. What is this feeling inside my heart? It's like desire. I don't understand.

I have been trying everything to get him off my mind. I've wrote poems, got a hair cut, and took interest in Doctor Who. Nothing worked. God what's wrong with me?!

Perfect.

My brother tried to take the wrapping paper from me. I nearly kicked him in the balls.

I now know that I love Benjamin and it's going to take a whole lot of courage to admit it to him.

Perfect.

By this point, I know I love him. But why? Why have I developed this strong feeling for him? And why do I feel like he might love me back?
