Somethin_Sue

/Intro/

 I fell in love with her smile because it was odd- her words were sweet, but she looked strange. Her smile would unwind once she was alone, her eyes narrowed in tiredness, her legs looked weak, her arms almost dropping her books, and her stomach growling out of hunger, but- around others, she played the part of a hero with a smile. She saved many, helped others, defended herself, and took care of everyone, no matter what. She acted one way but was another- everyone saw her as a perfect doll, but I only saw a broken girl giving a smile for everyone because it brightened their days- her smile made them happy, and it made her happy too.

He wasn't like regular people; he didn't push me aside- he kept me close. He wanted to hear me, see the real me, and that scared me. He was able to tell the truth, see what others didn't, fight for what he wanted or knew what was right, no matter what I did- he always saw the happiness... why was he ok with being rejected? Why was he ok with pushing me over the finish line? Why was he ok with losing? Why was he ok with anything I said? Why was he ok with me yelling at him? Why was he ok with me? Why did he want me?

First Glance

I'm a person all about romance and being with someone who's been hurt multiple times in love both with her body and emotionally- she isn't a romantic at all.  She tries, but it always comes out more friendly than romantic.  I admit it's challenging to try and flirt with someone who pushes it away, but I know she doesn't mean it.  After the airport stuff a few weeks ago, we decided to date.  It was Sue's idea because she wanted to try, and this was the best way- I suppose?


I've been paying more attention to her at school but being a junior with Sue being a freshman- you can see how that's a problem.  I can't protect her from animals in her year; I know she's never dated, but this makes this a hell of a lot more stressful since I want her to feel happy with me.


"Yo, Ad! You want to try out for the soccer team with me!" Justin came up to me, showing me a poster.


"Uh, no, thanks." I waved it away as I started to walk down the hallway with Justin following me.  I noticed the bulletin board and grabbed a basketball try out flier- "I might try out for the basketball team." I said as Justin grabbed a flier, too- "I'll join you." He said with a firm nod.  I shrugged, walking again, "Have you seen Sue anywhere?" I asked as Justin shrugged, "I left her to talk to some girl outside." Justin said as I tilted my head- "A girl?"


I started to turn around and head to the main entrance of the school- noticing a very touchy girl on Sue.  "You are very pretty- mind if I get your number?" The girl asked as I went over, wrapping my arms around Sue.  "Hey, babe, who's this?" I gave an annoyed smile at the girl.  "Oh, sorry. I didn't know you had a boyfriend." The girl backed off.


"Yep." Sue nodded as I narrowed my eyes at her, "Yeah, your my girlfriend." I clarified a bit more as Sue nodded again.  "Ok, I'm going to go." The girl left as I held Sue's hand, but Sue let go a little after.  "Something wrong?" I asked as she shook her head.  "I just have a class in a few minutes- we can talk later." She said, hugging me and leaving.


"Hurts, doesn't it?" A voice said behind me; I noticed Justin again.  "She's been single for so long that she's never been the romance type of girl- she isn't a label person either. Don't expect her to fall into the place of your girlfriend because it'll take time. Don't force it." Justin explained as I sighed.  "I know... I'll wait," I said as he shrugged- "What are your past relationships like? You seem to have this fantasy of a perfect love life." Justin said as I shrugged, "Would you be willing to tell me your ex?"


Justin shook his head at my question- "Exactly."
