He was outcasted by his family and secretly loathed by his friends. His only secure happiness was in a girl that hated him as well. He pretended to be happy by pulling cruel jokes on people and teachers. But the truth was there was no happiness within him.
Every day in class he'd talk to her to see if she was interested. He'd gain his hope then lose them within seconds. Especially when she fell for another person,Kyle.
"So you like Kyle?"
The blonde looked up from her work and sighed.
"For the millionth time yes."
"Oh cool. He doesn't like you though."
She looked worried and shocked and looked at her desk.
"Whatever, not like anyone would ever love you."
The words hit him like a punch to the gut. He was in pain and his heart shattered in half. He wanted to kill himself and kill off all the misery and suffering. He raised his hand and headed to the boys bathroom. He took out a razor blade and went towards his wrist, but was stopped by a soothing voice.
"B-bebe? What are you doing here this is the boys bathroom!"
"Who cares about that Eric, what are you doing?"
"Ending my misery! I've always loved you but you shattered my heart and feelings. You're right no one likes me, I'm doing the world a favor and getting rid of myself, just like you wanted!"
"That's not what I wanted Eric! Because I-i l-love you too!"
He wanted to believe it was true but he couldn't.
"If you love me what about Kyle!"
"He's just a replacement! What would my friends think if I was in love with one of the meanest kids in school? But I don't care anymore Eric! I love you and only you!"
He wrapped himself in her shield of safety and cried into her chest. She embraced him and finally realized that he was hers.
