My High School Obsession

One part Lie

With that being the first and only time I even spared him a second glance there was no way he could know I was entirely entranced with him and boy was I.

Anytime he was anywhere near me it's like I could feel it, wether I saw him or not. My body was attuned to his and I never even uttered anything to him besides the apologizes for running into him. After that day I steered clear of anything to do with River Williams. Football games? Parties? Count me out. I didn't want another chance encounter to end up like it had before. I wasn't a shy girl by any means but around people that I didn't know or didn't have a connection with I just simply didn't speak to them.

I avoiding popular people like the plague, they didn't have anything I wanted and honestly they just all seemed extremely shallow. I had a seletct few people that I actually trusted and called my friends but even they weren't immune to the beauty that is River Willams. So anytime he was in the near vicinity I had to hear the same things over and over.

"Oh my god there he is."

"why won't he ever notice me?"

"Have you seen amber i********: post with the picture of them? She's so lucky."

Silently praying that nothing spills out of my mouth about how I dreamed he would walk over and speak to me, or any number of the dirtiest fantasies I've ever imagined. Keeping my obsession a secret was the smartest thing to do in the situation, so I lie. Or make snide remarks whenever someone ask me if I think he's attractive or even bring his name up in conversation. I've done it so much my friends don't even talk about him with me anymore. I couldn't be happier for that little fact either.
