Best of Our Hearts
Perhaps we give the best of our hearts uncritically to those who hardly think about us in return
- T.H White (quoted by Lucas in 'One Tree Hill.')
The people that never think about you are the worst. You see them every day and they don’t give a shit about you. You know everything about them because they’re popular. There’s this guy I vaguely know. He’s incredibly hot- blonde hair, charming looks. I sat behind him for a couple of months last year in English. I remember almost everything we ever casually talked about, from his lame poetry writing attempts to did-we-study-for-the-vocab-quiz? And if I looked at him now, about eight months later, he’d probably say something like ‘What’s your name again?’ And it hurts, you know. Knowing a lot about him, but he not knowing everything about you.
Unfortunately, I see the guy every day- a lot. I had a small crush on him. I actually had a conversation with him a couple of weeks ago. I have an addiction to Starburst, so I was waiting to use the machine in the cafeteria. He was getting some kind of candy, but the machine wasn’t working. I said “ Oh, is it stuck?” while my heart was pumping like crazy. He didn't answer- it wasn't like I expected him to. He's him after all- popular hot shot.
And I'm just me.
