Back to School

Unlike most kids of the public schools of the U.S., I am currently in school.

I attend Riverton High. It's easier to just say RHS. So I think from here on out, I will do that.

Anyway, we have been in school for a week now, and I have seen all of the people that I did not get a chance to even glimpse over the summer. This was mostly a good thing. I am a very tolerable person, but some people...can get on my nerves at times.

It's strange how much can change over a summer. Particularly if your summer is as short as mine.

You can fail to feel comfortable in a relationship that is good for you.

People's parents can get divoriced.

You might start to fall back into a relationship with someone that they have not dated for over a year.

Maybe you will run 200+ miles total.

You might randomly decide to forgive someone who you previously held a grudge against for good reason, and put a post-it on their back when you get back into school reading, "____ is a hobo."

Maybe you will fall into a relationship where at any given point in time you are thinking about being with, or with your boyfriend or girlfriend.

Maybe you will fall away from your friends.

Perhaps your boyfriend will have cooler older friends, and suddenly, you would rather hang out with them--even if it means being fake.

Some might lose a relative.

Some will go on vacation and have a wonderous time.

Over the phone, you could find out that one of your closest friends of the opposite sex who you had relations with while under the influence is gay.

Maybe you will climb a tree.

Perhaps you will go to camp and meet new people, sneak out of your dorm at night, and flirt outrageously with one particular person.

Maybe you will flirt outrageously with multiple persons.

You could spend over a month in a relationship that you did not really like from the get-go.

You might just be one of those lucky head-in-the-sands that finds real love.

These things I have listed may or may not be referring to me. Some of them may or may not be referring to my friends.

But the real point here is that I am a high school girl that has given up on real love. This might be a bit sad because I am only fifteen, (for 21 more days, anyway!) but I want to share with you my day-to-day interactions with the opposite sex. I make a lot of mistakes, so hopefully, more people than myself can learn from them, and maybe laugh a little along the way.

Now, I didn't expect to find true love in high school. I am not that pathetic. Not even real love. I maybe, I think, just believed that there would be someone I was attracted to that was attracted to me that would not desire me as temporary, just a girlfriend, or a hot chick they could chase down just to see if they could get me. Maybe they'd care about what I thought about too, and we could go steady.

Maybe this will be interesting.
