Chapter 1

I wish I had an SOS signal. Not for seriously saving my ship or whatever. Just for some ordianry stuff. Like... if I have to clean the house, I'd tap SOS on my house wall, and, out of nowhere, Superman crashes through my roof! Of course he fixes it and all, along with cleaning the house, because he's a superhero.

Or say, perhaps, that my ex gets into a fight with his new girlfriend, and comes crying back to me, asking for advice. I'd tap SOS on my computer screen and, suddenly, his computer is attacked with a virus that police had been trying to catch for years. So not only does his computer crash, but he is framed for the virus. Ha. Yeah, that would be cool.

Or, lets say that my dog just died. Now, I don't have a dog, but if I did, and loved it very much, and it died... what would I do? I'd tap SOS, of course! And there would sit my dog, upon my lap, barking like the mangy mutt that he is. Or... used to be before I ressurected him.

Or, for the even more serious stuff (my imaginary dog dying isn't serious enough), I'd tap SOS. Like... oh, I don't know... unrequitted love. Yes, I said unrequitted love. That would be awesome. Especially because I think of him way too much.

I mean, I could use SOS for everything! Like... a magic wand! Whenever something bad happened, I'd tap SOS. Whenever something depressing happened, I'd tap SOS. Whenever I have a headache, I'd tap SOS. And WA-LAH! My troubles would be gone! No more house chores. No more ex-lovers getting on my nerves. No more imaginary dogs dying. And, best of all, no more unrequitted love.

Yeah... that would be great...

But then, I suppose, even that would get bothersome. I mean... perhaps Superman wouldn't want to clean my toilet, or my neighbor would not want my imaginary dog back, or my ex-lover would not want to be framed and arrested with a broekn down computer (but who gives a damn about him anyway). The one thing that I seriously consider is unrequitted love. I mean, yes it would be cool to tap SOS on his arm or something and have him turn around and kiss me... but I don't want him loving me if it's fake. That would not be so great.

He deserves more than that crap. I mean... I'm his friend. I shouldn't be thinking like this. He had to deal with losing the love of his life and, no matter how many times I daydream, I will never be that special person to him. I may try to be like her, but let's face it... if he asked me what snow became after it melted, I would respond water. Who wouldn't? Well, besides her... See, I would never respond with Spring as an asnwer because I'm not... her. Sometimes I wish I was, though...

This is stupid. The things I wish for, I mean. Not only the super power SOS thing, but just everything. All the things I want. That was her life. He was her life. I'm not her, nor do I have her life. I have my own, and it's not that horrible, really.

This is my life. And I like it. I really, really do.

So why do I still want hers so badly?
