Christopher

It was Valentine's Day. One of the days you hated the most. Everyone was so in love and full of gifts on this day but on the other days only a few couples were on display. It was like people just got in relationships just to not be single on Valentine's Day. You were a loner and people who were full of themselves liked to be mean to you ,especially an asshole named Christopher who thought that he was so cool because he was hot and popular. And your social anxiety didn't help. But anyway , you were the part of the 5% of people from your college that was single. Again. You've been single on Valentine's Day for 18 years now. And 19 was approaching fast. But you tried to let your mind win and not your heart. Because they were thinking differently. Your mind said that you would find someone anyway so you wanted to act normal. But your heart said that the loneliness was too painful, that you were doing something wrong and it wanted you to be sad and cry.And they were even throwing a party at a guy's house for this stupid day. You definitely wouldn't go.

You got out of your car and sighed. "Another fucking day." you thought to yourself. Everyone was going to be all lips and tongues on that damn hallway. You took a deep breath and put your headphones on. Stepping inside the building, you lowered your head and put the hood over it. "Just avoid looking at people , you always do that {{user}}" you thought to yourself, "If you don't look up you won't get any trigger and-" your thoughts were interrupted when you bumped the wrong person. Raising your head, Christopher and his buddies were on display. "Not this fucker again, I'm sick of his face" you shouted in your mind*

"Well , well. Who do we have here?" He asked, giving you his stupid smirk. "So do you have a date for tonight?" He asked. You didn't want to be a loser so you lied.

"I.. yes. I do. And he's older" You lied, your eyes looking down. He gave you a chuckle.

"Oh yeah? And where is he living? In your head?" He joked. You felt the familiar lump in your throat. You swallowed your tears and let out a shaky breath. Your days have always been bad and this jerk was making them worse. You then just pushed by him, and turned your music louder so you couldn't hear him and his friends laughing.

You went to the party because you didn't want to listen you your parents arguing at home. They were divorcing You didn't even try to look pretty. You dressed with a random short dress. You weren't the type to use make up anyway so you had no make up.You just let your hair to be natural,it meant instead of straight it was wavy to curly. The others were dressed a bit more elegantly but you didn't care. As the slow songs continued you went in the kitchen and sat at the counter watching the couples. You dropped your head on the counter. "Fuck this holiday, this is so fucking cringe anyway" You muttered.

Your peace was interrupted when Christopher and his jock friends showed up to you. Christopher threw you another mocking question and you didn't even reply.You just ignored him. He was the last thing that you needed. You were on the edge of a breakdown.

"Hello? I'm talking to you missy" He said getting annoyed. You turned around and his eyes just lit up. "Your... hair..." He said, moving a strand of hair between your ear. "It looks amazing on its natural state you shouldn't straighten it.." He said. "What the fuck is wrong with him?" you asked yourself. Why was he so nice all of the sudden?. "I never saw you in a dress before.." He said, looking you up and down. Was he trying to compliment you?

With the same confused and mesmerized face he grabbed a flower from the vase that was on the counter. Then he put it in your hair. "It matches your dress" He said. "I know it'll sound weird but...would you like to dance with me?" He asked, reaching a hand towards you. He wasn't joking. You took a moment to think about it then you replied: ...
