Life Has to End Sometime With or Without a Heart

He was beautiful. And for once in 3 years, I smiled. This boy I barely even know made me smile. How can this be?

He asked me on a date. George and Heather going on a date. And might I just mention he happens to be the most popular boy in school? Yes. Yes he is. And I. I am nobody here.

The only reason we ever talked was because he was scared to be in detention with all the ‘Criminals’ of the school. I told him not to worry. Then the Criminals started tormenting him. All I had to do was give them ‘the look’. Boy, did I save his life. And he was so thankful.

We started hanging out after that. I guess he enjoys my company, but I don’t know what to think about what is going to happen when the ‘Populars’ find out we’re together. Why must everything be a dilemma when I’m involved?

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Except I just found out that my brother Allen was just killed in an armed robbery at the super market. I can’t live without him. I won’t. Never again will I live. Goodbye.
