I am an idiot. Two words. Marcus Flutie. Hello, you cannot be in love with a character in a book. Argh, but I am. Maybe it is due to reading 3 books in 2 days, maybe it has to do with the fever I seem to have, but whatever. Marcus Flutie, sure wasn't in my high school, and boy do I wish he were. why is it that the "real" high school is never like what is written in books or on acted out on screen. Sure those versions are glamorized, even when they use the person who doesn't stand out and is all cynical about the people in school and life and how they don't fit in but they don't want to fit in. Something always changes in that person to come to a realization. "School isn't that bad, it's just preparing us for the real world since the real world is filled with cliques and hardships that feel catastrophic but in the grand scheme of things is quite small." That does not always happen. Maybe that's too boring, the TRUE high school experience, but THAT's true high school. Being stuck in the same place literally and figuratively for 4 years, more if can't all that schooling leading up to the cliques that categorize your life. Maybe that's what the basis of my book will be. I think I'm formualting ideas as we speak. Nobody steal my idea!(Like anybody reads this anyway)
Anyway, read Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings by, I think, Meggan McCafferty. It's really worth it even just for Marcus Flutie.
