There are 365 days out of the year and people decide to express their feelings for another on one day... a day that is so corny and annoying that makes me gag. Yes, you guessed it- February 14, the worst day of every single year.  You might love Valentine's day but I hate it; NO , I don't hate it..... I DETEST it. You might ask when did this hatred for Valentine's day originate? Well, I don't really know but the only thing that I do remember is a dumb little guy with diapers and some dumb arrows; people say he's the love God or something of that sort, but for me he's just a dumb little bitch who shot me with one of his arrows and made me fall in love with my worst nightmare. 

Rachel....

Rachel was my biggest crush in high school. She was literally the definition of perfect; she had everything that any person would ask for. She was nice, funny, sweet, stylish and more. She was everything to me but I never had the courage to talk to her until "the love God" shot me with his dumb arrow and made me express my feelings to her. I knew she loved caramel chocolates and her favorite flowers were roses so that's what I got her. I approached her with the box of chocolates and a single rose.
" Hey Rachel Happy Valentine's Day.... ummm... Okay I don't really know why I'm doing this but I have to tell you something... very important .... at least for me it is and yeah, well yeah,I just really have to get it out of my system."
"Sure go ahead. If you're this nervous it's probably something important."
"Okay well I've .... I've .... "
" You've...... "
" I've been crushing on you for a while now and I think you're just a beautiful person inside and out. I know it's crazy. It's crazy that I actually told you because deep down I was just going to give up on love, on trying out the whole love thing because I've been hurt too much and wow .... I actually told you."
" Okay wow wow wow first you have to calm down and breathe. Second, you should've told me you felt like this earlier and third I appreciate you telling me and giving me these gifts but I'll have to think about it, I'm extremely sorry... "
"Oh.... Okay.. Okay... Bye."
"Bye. I hope you have a nice day."
"Thank you, you too."
After that whole conversation I went to my next class but I kept replaying everything in my head and I got even more confused. I didn't know what was happening and I didn't know what to do so I tried paying attention to the teacher.
When I got home I sat on the couch and fell asleep for a while but when I got up I saw a text from Rachel. It said " I really appreciate the gift but I'm not ready for a relationship and I know is Valentine's Day but I just want to be friends and I just see us as friends and I don't see that changing.. I'm sorry."
I waited a while and then responded with, " Oh yeah. I get it -it's fine. Thank you for being honest."
