Mariah's POV Hello, you. My name is Mariah Day Sterling. I wanna tell you about my life. Throughout the years I have lived on this earth, I have learnt and come to terms that I. Love. Boys. Yes. It's true. I love the male species. And when you have a boy-crazy mind like mine, you find yourself falling in and out of love a lot. All that pent up frustration gets to you at times and you just want to let it out. So, I started writing love letters. And by love letters, I'm talking the deepest love letter there is out there. All my feelings out. Holding nothing back. All my fantasies and dreams in one piece of paper. Well, actually sometimes it's longer than that. The stupidest decision you could make while writing these letters is keeping them. Because your little sibling will snoop into your stuff and decide, hey, let's ruin my big sister's life, shall we. And when you realize that the cringiest stuff you've ever thought of is in that piece of paper, you know your will become a living hell. Welcome to my life. ------------------------------ Okay, first thing's first. I'll introduce you to all the boys I've ever loved before. 1.

(He's perfect) When I fell in love: Grade 12 Ah, yes. Five boys for the past 5 years of my life. Five years of drooling and googly eyes. Of course, they never knew about my love for them but I think they had an idea of what was happening. Right now, in 2nd year of university, I would never expect for one of them to come and ask me about the very detailed letter they had received. Scorpio, my God, Scorpio. The pissy bad boy who caught my attention only last year. I was minding my own business, in my backyard, near the pool, reading Fifty Shades of Grey in my bikini and sun hat, sitting on a towel on the ground, letting my back catch some sun. All of a sudden, I hear someone climbing over the fence, very clumsily and panicked. As he caught sight of me, his eyes had a mischievous glint in them. What the...I was picked up off the ground by my waist and submerged by pool water in a second. He put me on his lap while leaning back, placing my arms around his neck and putting his head in mine. "Just play along." Huh? "Do. It." He growled, squeezing my bum painfully. To which I yelped to. Complying with his demand, I tugged his hair, still confused as to what was going on. "I think he went this way." A muffled voice sounded. "Moan." He said. I ain't doing that. "What?! No." I defied. He responded by biting where my collarbones met and licking the spot which made me release a very unusual noise. Dammit. "Nope. Nevermind." It was the voice from before. "Just a nasty little couple." Excuse me. I heard trees rustling as the unknown man retreated and instantly pushed myself off the handsome guy that molested me, just now. "You pig! You molester! Yo-you..." I stuttered. "I'm what?" He smirked. Only now, I noticed that he's got a heck of a lot of tattoos across his arms and chest as he laid back against pool wall. Woah. And I only now noticed his face— which was beautiful. His tan skin only highlighted his dark eyes and dark hair, with a sharp bone structure and full, plump lips to complete his look. Since we were in the shallow end of the pool, I could see his torso and abdomen and the water was not enough to quench my thirst. My eyes scanned his muscular chest and they widened when they caught sight of a 6-pack. I dared to look lower, down the v-lines and stopped where the water surrounded the rest of his body. "Eyes up here, beautiful." I snapped my eyes back up to his naughty ones and blushed— not that it was visible—, looking down then back up. To find that his were drifting down and lower. Quickly, I covered my chest and submerged my self in the water. Stupid me forgot that she couldn't breathe in water so when I came up a spluttering mess, mysterious tattooed boy snickered underneath his breath. "Stop it!" I glared at him, crossing my arms. It was a bad move because wanderer couldn't stop wandering. "Your know what?" Like a child, I stomped out of the pool and went to my previous spot. I could ignore him until he went away. Irritating, little piece of—. Composure. I laid on my stomach, put my sun hat back on and continued reading my book. "Fifty Shades, huh?" He was blocking my sun. "Can you please go away?" I whined, looking up at him. Uh..."You're, um...kinda...naked." He bit his lip and smiled, "I know. That's why the cops were chasing me. Thanks for your help by the way. The name's Scorpio. See you around." He ran and jumped over the fence, leaving me stunned. That was so weird. I packed my stuff and went back inside to make myself something to eat. The rest of the year, I was mind-boggled by the mystery that is Scorpio Hall. I didn't even know we went to the same place of study, let alone the same class. Without knowing, I found myself falling for him each and every moment we shared and had. The occasional winks in the hallway when we'd pass each other. The quick glances we shared during our Psych lessons. The smiles he gave me if he saw me at the Milky Lane near the University. Like he knew something I didn't. To all the moments he gave me, I only looked down and tucked my hair behind my ear. So, by the end of the semester, I had fallen deeply in love with Scorpio. What I didn't know was that he had a girlfriend. For the last 4 years. All the heart warming and heart breaking thoughts and feelings I had, were all in a long letter. It's been a year now and I've gotten over it. He stopped smiling, winking and glancing. And I stopped being embarrassed. To be honest I kinda forgot about him. That is until he showed up at my doorstep. "What the f*** is this?!" He was livid. And I was taken aback. "What?!" He pointed to the envelope in his hands that clearly had my writing on it. Oh... that... "Uh... that's, uh... um." I couldn't get my words out. "Uh, um. Did I stutter? Tell me, what is this supposed to mean?" "Nothing!" I blurted out. "That's just a meaningless piece of paper. I hate you. Bye." And with that, I snatched the letter from his hand and slammed the door in his face. Or at least I tried. At the last moment, he held the edge of the door and pulled it open. It seemed he was thoroughly pissed because he snapped. "I did not. Lead you on. I do not. Think I'm better than everyone. I did not. Give all your treats from Milky Lane longing glances. And what. The f***. Is a neck virginity?" Did I really write that stuff? "Um. Bye." And this time I really did slam the door in his face. Locking it as well. Quickly and clumsily, I ripped the envelope open and read the letter I wrote last year. Dear Scorpio You've got me all-grrr! The day you jumped into my backyard, I was hooked. I mean, who jumps into a pool with a girl, making her do things she's not supposed to within not even 5 minutes of knowing her. For some reason, your randomness just made you more attractive. I mean, if your beautiful face and delicious body wasn't enough, then your bad boy personality certainly made me feel something for you. You're mysterious, secretive and I can't exactly pin point what it is about you but I wanted to find out what your deepest fears and your biggest dreams are. The way you carry yourself is like you think you're better than everyone else. I mean, look at you. The only person you hang around is your girlfriend. Oh, your girlfriend. You should be ashamed of yourself. How dare you give me smiles, winks and nods in my direction when you've got a girlfriend. For 4 years!! You lead me on. I let you give my Milky Lane treats longing glances and no one is allowed to look at my Milky Lane that way. Except for you. You, I let you take my neck virginity because you were running from the cops and I didn't even regret it. The truth is, all your imperfections are the things that made me love you. Love, Mariah. ------------------- Oh, hell.
