A guy gave a girl a dozen roses. 11 real, 1 fake. He said, "I'll love you until the last one dies."
Gabriella Montez was having an awful day. Today was the worst day of the year, in her book. Want to know why? It was Valentine's Day. The big V-Day. Yea, right. More like D-Day.
This day sickened her. And why shouldn't it? She never had a valentine, and she had to watch sickenly sweet couples be happy together while she was miserable.
As she was walking through the halls of East High, she felt her phone vibrating. When she opened it, she saw she had received a text message from her best guy friend, Troy. It read:
Meet me secret spot free period
She replied:
Okay, will do.
This seemed normal to her. She met Troy everyday in the secret spot during free period, so why should today be ay different. But her mind couldn't help wonder…
Does he love me the way I love him?
No, she answered herself. He couldn't possibly love me. He's Troy Bolton, basketball king. And I'm just…. Me.
She went about her day normally, but felt herself feeling worse as she watched girls get gifts from their boyfriends. Free period came along, and she went up the stairs to the secret spot. Troy wasn't there yet, so she sat down and waited.
Suddenly, she heard Troy walking up the stairs. He had something behind his back, she saw. 'What's that?' she asked.
'It's for you,'He answered. From behind his back, he pulled out a dozen roses.'It's because I'll love you until the last one dies.'
She held the roses in her hands, suddenly feeling awful. These roses wouldn't last more than a week, she thought. But as she felt them, she noticed that one had a sort of leathery feel. One of the flowers was fake.
'Oh Troy,' she said. 'I love you too.'
And with that, they kissed. A kiss full of the love they had for each other.
Maybe Valentine's Day isn't so bad after all.
Did you guys like it? I know, it's a little late but I was kind caught up in my own romance, middle school style.
I know it's a cliche, but that's the first thing that came to mind.
