She loved him. He didn't like her at all.
Adoring stares would follow him 24/7 at that school. The countless number of girls who loved him was unbearable. He thought to himself, 'Why do they like me? I'm different. I wear Ralph Lauren and polos. Why am I popular?'
He was sick of the attention. Instead of drinking in his glory, he drowned in it. He knew only one girl would ever love him the way he wanted to be loved.
He didn't think she loved him any differently than the rest of the girls. Because he was popular, because he was hot, because of his tone body, etc.
He didn't know that she loved him because she thought he was special.
Josh Hotz never found out that Olivia Ryan, the "dumb hot blonde", loved him because she thought he was special. Olivia Ryan never found out that he thought she was stupid and worthless and "just another blonde."
Olivia Ryan moved on. Josh Hotz found other girls. But her pining never truly stopped, because on June 3rd, the last day of ninth grade, she sat next to Josh Hotz in the auditorium, when he asked her if she had pen, all the love that Olivia Ryan had for Josh Hotz came rushing back to her heart when she looked into those deep chocolate brown eyes once again.
