Some people may think falling in love is the experience of a lifetime. I am not one of those people since the guy I had fallen in love with doesn't even know I exist. As sad as it may be, I think its better that way, since he doesn't have to see how pathetic I am.
My name is Bethany Porter. I'm a junior who goes to Brookdale High school. To tell you the truth, when people say high school is the best years of your life, they must have been on something because high school hasn't been all that great for me.
Going through crazy teachers, loads of research papers, and snobby teenagers for already two years does not qualify to be "the best" in my world. I know I'm being a little too depressing to you, but you'll see what I mean as you go through one day in my high school.
I'm not what you would call the "popular person" in my school. There are cliques in my school that we have to follow; I would fit best in the "loser" category. Not that I think I'm a loser or anything, it's what society sees me as. And by society I mean the kids in my school.
Okay enough about how much I think high school sucks. Let me tell you about the guy. The first time I laid my eyes on him was in my chemistry class. He sits two seats in front of me. Now don't think that I only noticed him because of his looks. I'm not that shallow. His personality is what caught my attention.
Before I go on, let me explain some important details. He's one of the popular guys in school. Need I go on? So, I don't have one tenth of a chance of getting with him, let alone him notice me. I keep to myself in school; I don't like to associate with people that can ruin my life.
I do however have one best friend that I can depend on through all this. Tiffany Jacobs. The first time we met was when we were freshmen at the school. I remember I was scared to even look at anybody thinking they might hurt me. What do you expect, I was only a freshman. But then I spotted Tiffany.
I had noticed she was in most of my classes, so I thought I should introduce myself so we could try to go through high school together. Part of it was also because I thought she seemed nice.
When I introduced myself, she was such a sweet person. She later confessed to me she was too shy to talk to anybody, and that I was the first one to talk to her. We've been inseparable ever since.
Now the thing that I haven't told you yet about the guy I've been crushing over for the last year and a half is that he's a twin. Shocking right? Well, they are both known throughout the school for their skills in sport and of course their devilishly good looks.
Jeremy and Brandon Duncan are their names. Jeremy Duncan is the outgoing, conceited type and he knows it. Every guy and girl wants to hang out with him. Both for different reasons. The guys in our school know if your Jeremy's friend, your immediately accepted as the "cool" type.
The girls just want to have a chance to run their hands through his soft blonde hair, and to brag about how "far they got" with him. If you know what that means then enough said. For the people who don't understand, I'm not even going to bother explain.
Brandon Duncan is the one I've fallen in love with. Let me explain. Brandon is also outgoing like his brother and everyone does want to be his friend also. It's just Brandon isn't like Jeremy at all through my eyes. I have noticed how he acts and it is not at all like Jeremy.
When Jeremy talks, he acts like he's the king of the world and that everyone worships him. Of course people being the idiots they are, don't even care if he treats them like shit, they just want to be in the "in crowd."
Brandon is soft around the eyes. His baby blue eyes are to die for. When he smiles, he makes everyone want to smile. He has that effect on people. He has brains too which is rare. To have a popular guy who is absolutely divine to look at AND has brains. That's really rare, at least for me it is.
The sad thing is, I know that if I actually went over and talked to him, we might be compatible. As in, we would be perfect for each other. Tiffany has told me loads of times that I should go for it. I of course objected because I know that if I do go and talk to him, I'd make a complete idiot out of myself.
She's talked to both of them before. I don't know how she even got the courage to do that, and she said Brandon is the better type. So, I was stuck in this blunder. I have thought about it, but what exactly would I do? Tiffany had given me ideas and I did agree I would do them, but I would chicken out at the last minute.
I guess I've told you all the basics, so I was off to school.
I grabbed my books and handbag off my bed and left my house. I lived really close to the school, so it was a walking distance. People would say I'm lucky since all I have to do is walk a couple of blocks. I would agree since it's true.
I had already called Tiffany telling her to meet me in the cafeteria. As I walked the steps of the front entrance I already notice Brandon. He looked so cute today. He wore a light blue shirt that brought out his baby blue eyes even more.
His blonde hair hung over his eyes which made him look very sexy. I was too busy admiring him that I hadn't noticed the person in front of me. "Hey watch it." I got out of my trance and noticed I had bumped into a guy.
"Sorry," I mumbled. "Just watch where you're going next time," he said rudely before walking away. I glanced back wanting to know who that rude person was, when I realize it was none other then Jeremy Duncan.
