First time reading this story? CLICK HERE FOR PART 1
Whitney Clinton is the most beautiful girl I've ever met. Eversince third grade, she's just gotten prettier and prettier. When she flashes her drop dead gorgeous smile, I can't help but wonder who's the unlucky one beside me who has to witness me melting. And then get the janitor to wipe me off the floor.
Every part of her screams out 'Beautiful'. Her long brown locks can be used for a shampoo commercial and her perfect teeth can be used for a toothpaste commercial! There's always a sparkle in her eye. She's smart, she's bubbly, spontaneous, she's talented... That's why I fell head over heels for her.
Maybe that's why Kevin Gray is going out with her.
Wade was right, it IS time!
At least it was time. Until the day Kevin Gray decided to spoil the whole picture.
How on earth am I going to compete against Kevin Gray?
That dude is like the star athlete in our school. Every guy, be it younger or older admires him and some even worship him like he's some kind of a Hunk God. I mean, which guy doesn't want to be popular and have all the ladies drool over him? Every guy that exist in this entire universe. Except me. That's what Wade always says. Because I only want Whitney Clinton to drool over me.
But now, she's going out with Kevin Gray.
Kevin Gray versus Jeremy Thompson.
Hmm, I like the sound of that. But why on earth would any girl give up the golden opportunity with Kevin Gray to be with me? I knew this was a battle. Unfortunately, I can't use any weapons, because I have no weapons! I didn't have good looks or that it factor that makes everyone go 'wow'. It was a defeat for me even before the battle. Why would I even bother losing my dignity while I still can save it?
My instincts tell me to just finally let go of her, it's no point loving her anymore. Every second of loving her is only going to result in endless stabs of pain right through my chest. She's just going to be like other girls -- go out, hang out, make out and "BAM!" they're the next it couple. Somehow it always ends up this way, huh?! What happened to the world where mix kids like me finally get the pretty girl? Oh wait, that world never did exist.
To the contrary, my conscience tells me otherwise. My consciece tells me to make that world exist! It's about time someone changed the rules around here! I can't just give up all those years of loving her because of Kevin Gray! If it's a battle Kevin wants, then a battle he shall get!
May the best man win.
JOANNA
