Our Fairytale

Once upon a time...

There was a very sad little girl. She was painfully shy, and going into her first year of high school. She was terrified, and didn't have any friends in most of her classes. For the first week of school, she was in her own personal hell. But after a while, she started to look around at the faces around her. She happened to lock eyes with a boy who sat next to her in music class. She asked him his name, and from then on they talked occasionally, and things were starting to look up, the girl had even found a friend to sit with at lunch. Then one day, the friend had to go away on a long trip. So the little girl became sad again. Untill she decided to sit with an old friend of hers, who was sitting with three other people. She decided to be brave and sit down. There were two girls, and one boy. It was the boy from music class. As she was awkwardly introduced to them all, she started to get the funniest feeling in her chest, that she couldn't quite recognize. Soon, she spent every lunch with these friendly people. Her and the boy both had lockers upstairs, so they ended up taking long walks together around the school, just talking and getting to know one another. By this time, the little girl had finally figured out the strange feeling, and had identified it as love. She became completely dependent on the mysterious boy, and rumors started to fly. Then one day, the little girl did a very foolish thing. She decided that the boy loved her back. She tried over and over to tell him how she felt, but each time she couldn't quite manage the words. Eventually, she tried sending the boy an e-mail, explaining everything. She was nervous, but proud of herself for being brave. Unfortunately, the boy read the message and told a very untrustworthy friend, who told the evil witch of the school, who started laughing and saying nasty things about the little girl behind her back. The girl was crushed, and heartbroken that the boy would do such a thing to her. The boy and girl still talked, but things were never quite the same. They still had amazing times together though, laughing and joking and fooling around. The little girl decided to forgive the boy she still loved.

The two were parted for the summer holidays, and when they came back for their second year of highschool they only had one class together, and the girl had to sit with her closer friends at lunchtime, instead of him. They started to grow apart, and the girl's old heartbreak started to retun, and she missed the boy more than she could've imagined. One night, the boy tried to talk to the girl, but it was a confusing conversation and only gave the girl false hopes. She had recently figured out that the boy loved someone who wasn't her, and was trying to think of a way to give herself hope, against her better judgement. She tried to talk to the mysterious boy, but he wasn't being very conversational. The little girl was starting to despair, and had had her heart broken by this boy so many times. She cried for a long time, but her imagination helped her think up of excuses for the boy's behaviour. She tried not to, but she began to hope again, because she was too afraid of losing him.

The girl had a friend at the time, who she didn't like very much, but who she confided in and who was fairly good friends with the boy. The friend one day confessed to the girl that she might be starting to like the boy as well, and was craving love. She even said that when asked, the boy had said he might say yes if the friend asked him out. This hurt the little girl even more, but she still hoped. The girl's friend however, once said that she would feel awkward and embarassed holding the boy's hand in public. The little girl was so angry that she wanted to hit her friend for saying things like that. She didn't want the boy she loved to be used that way, and told her friend that if she truly liked him she wouldn't feel embarassed, it would be the best thing in the whole world. The friend did not understand, proving to the little girl that she was the one who truly loved the boy, even with his mysterious qualities.

To this day, we still don't know what happened. But since this is a fairytale, we're going to say that

they lived happily ever after.
