Dear E,
You have a small crush on me, I can feel it all the way through my bones. The way you stare at me, and think. It's like I can hear every thought you have. Your eyes show me how much you admire me, how much you feel awkward around me. How it's hard for you to cope with me when I never smile, or talk. You try, and try, but nothing works. You're trying too hard to get my attention, to talk to me, to watch me. Trying, trying, trying - that's all you do, try. Don't. Nothing's working. Do you know why I have no feelings toward you? Because you're really mean. Your words hit me like a punch. You think you're being impressive, but really... you're not. Every-time I hear your voice, I just want to cringe, and run away, maybe even punch you. I can't take it. I have this horrible hatred for you that I cannot describe. And the worst part about it... is that you have a crush on me! But, you're just like the rest of the men/boys in my life.... jerks. That's all you are...a jerk. You try too hard. And you're trying is making me run away. So, stop. I want you to not have a crush on me. Though, at the same time I'm flattered to know that someone in this school actually likes me. Now I have two boys to deal with. Two guys crushing on me, who would've have suspected that? Yes, I get it - the mysterious type is cute. I know, I get that alot. I get that I'm pretty (I admit it, with shame; but I will always be modest), but I don't want someone who only likes me for my looks. I don't want someone who is rude all the time. My mother said that I'm going to be that girl who will break hearts, not, but not as a rich girl way, just one of those kind girls who has a lot of guys liking her. I'm not bragging here about myself, I'm just merely giving my perspective on this situation that I absolutely hate!
Why out of everyone do you have to like me? You could like any other girl. But, I see, I'm a hard nut to crack with my monotone voice, and non-existent smile. A lot of people think I'm sad, but I'm just tired all the time. I get enough sleep, but somehow, everyday, I'm just..... tried. I don't know why. I like my smile, but I never use it unless it's a happy day for me. Everyday is usually a neutral day, where I just don't care about anything. Anyway, please stop liking me.......please.
Sincerely,
-M
Dear boy from my dreams as a child,
Where did you go? I was convinced that you were real when I was young. I guess that was because... I was alone. My mother said that I used to describe you as "black", or "A black Manikin". Though, I could not say that when I was two. I still remembered you throughout my child-hood, and still remember you now, as a teenager. You were my only close friend. The only one I could truly trust. I used to think that you lived down the street, and your mother used to drop you off at my house everyday. My mother had to baby-sit you the whole day. I don't know if you were a dream, or not. My mother thinks that you were my "guardian angel" at the time. I used to talk about you a lot, for you were the only friend I really had at that time. I'm still lonely, like I was as a child. All I want to know is what happened to you? As I grew up.... it's like you vanished form me completely. I could tell anything to you. You felt so... "real", but not. I hope this doesn't sound crazy, but I really did believe that you were real; I was almost in a trance. Anyway, I hope you moved on to another lonely child, giving them the friendship they truly needed. Bye old friend, I will miss you greatly.
Sincerely,
That lonely girl you used to know.
