Is Love Just A Myth?

I groaned as I heard Super Bass blasting from my phone knowing yet another torturous day of school was soon. Slowly I pulled myself out of bed and to the shower. Great another day of school and all the drama that goes with it! I'll never understand why girls feel the need to be so obnoxious and snobby toward each other and sadly can't think of a time when it hasn't been like that.

 After a quick shower I went to my closet to pick out something to wear. After much debate I decided on purple plaid shirt, skinny jeans and some silver uggs. I quickly did my make-up and put on a star shaped locket. I ran around the house attempting to put my lunch together and get my homework in my bag.  My mom yelled to me " Hurry if your going to make it to your bus stop!" I ran out the door almost forgetting my bag.

Quickly I assessed myself in the mirror. My curly strawberry blond hair coming down a little past my shoulders and my gray-blue eyes looking in the mirror. My face is a little roundish and my nose small. I continued to run out the door until I reached my bus stop panting and gasping for air. The bus showed up shortly after and I was immensely relieved.

 I eliminated the chance of anyone sitting next to me by sitting on the outside of the seat and placing my big on the inside. Hopefully this will be enough to keep away any unwanted company. The ride to school seemed to drag on for hours. All the rich snobbish girls sat in the back of the bus talking about the latest break-up or how this person hates that person and so on. The jocks sat in the front of the bus throwing a football around.

I sat somewhere near the middle of the bus and it kind of described my life. I never wanted to be the "It" girl or become some famous athlete. All I wanted for high school was to get good grades go to college and maybe adopt a kid from another country. It may seem simple but I don't want in any way to ever fall in "love".

To me love is just a myth, a fantasy people convince themselves of until it falls apart. I've know way to many people that have had their lives ruined by relationships. My mom for example fell in love and had me and my 12 year old sister Kaylee and then out of nowhere my dad decides he doesn't "love" my mom anymore and leaves her. I was 6 at the time and Kaylee was only 2.

This is just one example of how "love" ruins people's lives, so I refuse to be a victim of "love" and have much better plans for my life!

The bus came to an abrupt stop and I jumped up out of the seat ready for yet another day of school.I walked to the large five story building and glanced at the sign above me Clearview High School Home of the Lions. I sarcastically thought to myself "Go Lions I know you can completely fail at all sports."

I laughed at my own joke which was pretty sad so I stopped, even though it was still quite funny. Not once since I've been going to school have I ever seen the school teams of any sport win anything! It's pretty sad because the school used to win before the new coach.

I went down to my locker to get my books for first period when I glanced down the hallway and saw Clarissa and a group of people gossiping about something that they seemed to think was important. I listened carefully just because I was a little curious and heard Clarissa shriek "Wow that knew guy is supperr cute!" Funny how she thinks that a cute guy is soo important while I was stressing about my chemistry test later today.

Not wanting to be late and get a detention I started running down the hallway not really paying any attention to things around me. Well that was a big mistake because just as I was about to go into class some idiot just happened to be running also. Just as luck would have it I crashed into this other person sending my books and papers everywhere.

Feeling my face start to heat up I quickly grabbed everything that was mine. I kept my eyes to the ground because I really do NOT want to see who I just crashed in to only to further embarrass myself. Just as I had almost gotten all my stuff together just as my luck would have it I looked up only to gain eye contact with the idiot I had crashed into.

 The guy I was looking at was extremely hot and completely unfamiliar to me. He must have been the new student all the girls had been blabbing on about. After composing myself I broke the eye contact and started to stand up.
