intend to finish, and start with intent

An original short story I wrote for my creative writing class…

Sunday 4:39pm:

Dear diary,

This past Friday, there was this really cute guy I saw at school. I listened for the attendance call and I found out his name is Alex. He’s so handsome, diary. I stared at him the whole time during class. I think I’m going to look for his Facebook now so I can see his face again. I don’t know his last name though, so this might take a while…

Monday 4:03pm:

Dear diary,

Oh my god! I’m sooo excited! I said hi to Alex today and he looked at me! He LOOKED at me! Ahhhh! I can sleep happy now! He looked at me and I don’t even wear make-up like all those pretty cheerleader girls do all the time! They try too hard. I’m going to go eat now! Chicken Alfredo pasta here I come!

Tuesday 4:15pm:

Dear diary,

I said hi to Alex again and this time he said hello back! He even said my name! I’m so happy, after all these days, I’m finally friends with Alex. But…I want to be more than friends. I want to be his girlfriend, diary…and then I’ll be super popular at school. What should I do? Should I ask him out? Maybe on Thursday…yeah, I’ll do that!

Wednesday 6:11am:

Dear diary,

It’s really early in the morning, but I’m really excited! I decided last night that I’m going to dress differently today and maybe wear my hair down. That way, Alex will see my real beauty! I can’t wait! I’ll tell you about it after I get home from school. Bye!

Wednesday 4:21pm:

Dear diary,

Alex didn’t say hi to me today. It’s ok. He seemed really busy.

Wednesday 9:34pm:

Dear diary,

I’m up late baking a cake for Alex. I read on his Facebook that he likes chocolate, so I’m making him a German Chocolate Cake! I’m really excited to see his face when I give it to him. I bet he’s going to go nuts and then that’s when I’ll ask him to be my boyfriend. It’s going to be great! Bye diary! Wish me luck!

Thursday 8:58am:

diary,

Oh my god, I’m about to give Alex his cake…I’m sweating so much! Everyone was looking at me earlier, wondering why I had a cake. Just wait and see y’all! I’m going to be the most popular girl at school! You’ll see!

Thursday 4:43pm:

diary,

Alex didn’t take the cake. He looked at me all weird like he didn’t even want to talk to me. I don’t understand, diary. All he said was, “Thanks…but I don’t really want it…” How can he NOT want it?! It’s chocolate for god’s sake! His favorite kind! He didn’t even answer my question when I asked him out to be my boyfriend! He just walked away. Ugh, it’s probably because I woke up late and I didn’t have time to put on my make-up… damn it.

Saturday 7pm:

I don’t even know what to do anymore. It’s been 2 days since I last talked to him. He hasn’t even accepted my friend request on Facebook! Seriously! WHAT IS WRONG WITH HIM?! Ugh…it’s like he doesn’t even care about me. After all I’ve done for him! Maybe I’m just over thinking the situation…I think I should just wait another day or two before I do something drastic. Yeah…that’s what I think I’m going to do.

Monday 5pm:

Alex wasn’t at school today. I think he’s avoiding me. Why is he avoiding me? I didn’t even do anything mean to him!

Tuesday 4:

so Alex was there today. he was apparently sick with the flu the past 4 days. yeah right, he’s probably just saying that.

Wednesday 4:

i hate Alex. he’s such a player. he leads on all the girls and he doesn’t care about anyone but himself. what a jerk! today he finally spoke to me but i just walked away because I can’t stand him anymore. who needs him anyway?

6:

diary, I can’t stop looking at his facebook page. i miss him. i really miss him. i’m gonna talk to him tomorrow.

11:

he told me he just wants to be friends…he’s CRAZY if he thinks we’re not gonna be a couple. somebody must be brainwashing him or something! i’m gonna ask him out again later today.

4:

he hates me. why do we have to be just friends? what does that even mean? JUST FRIENDS. there’s no point in being just friends, diary! NO POINT! there’s no point to anything anymore! i baked him a cake diary! that’s more than i ever did for anyone! even for my own brothers!

worst. day. ever. i can’t even eat. i don’t want to eat actually. food is disgusting.

if alex doesn’t want to be with me, then no one can have him. there’s no point in either of us living if we can’t be together. i’m giving him one more chance.

he pushed me to the floor today. alex says I’m a freak because i cut my arm and i cut his arm on the same spot too. but i only did it because we’re meant for each other! he doesn’t understand me. no one does. i guess there’s no other option… i think my dad has a gun somewhere. bye diary, i’ll see you later
