Impress

she's popular

he's not 

He likes her.. 

more than a friend 

she doesn't know that

either way he knew that she could never lose a guy like him

he tries his best to impress her

of course she doesn't notice 

he goes home every day wondering "what else can i do"

he knows her ideal type of guy

soft, fluffy, brown hair, with green eyes.

he knew she was talking about Jack

Jack  was the most popular guy at school 

he wonders "why can i be like jack, look like jack, or even be jack??"

he knows he would never be her ideal type

a sudden idea popped into his head.

he ran to the store 

{time skip}

he dyed his black hair brown, he put dark green contacts in his eyes, he fluffed his flat now brown hair 

he looked in the mirror, 

He was satisfied with the way he looked. 

he went to school confident,

only to see her and

Jack... holding hands

he watches as her and Jack part ways

she noticed him staring and ran over to him giggling "Why are you wearing that?' she giggles 

he stays silent in shock not knowing what to say, he notices his eyes tearing up. 

he ran

he ran out of the slightly dimmed hallway, pushing people out of his way

she yells his name 

at this point the whole hallway was confused as to what was going on 

everyone followed her as she tried catching up to him

she shortly reached him at the front of the school

He was breathing hard, really hard. 

she once more asks him what's wrong

to her surprise he turns to her tears all over his face, snot dripping down his nose as we wipes it in his sleeve,

IM IN LOVE WITH YOU I DID EVERYTHING I CAN TO IMPRESS YOU, I GAVE YOU EVERYTHING I HAD MY LOVE, TIME, AFFECTION, AND YOU WERE TO DUMB TO REALIZE I EVEN CHANGED THE WAY I LOOKED FOR YOU JUST TO SEE YOU WITH JACK!!" he exclaimed

silence

she stands shocked, 

all you hear is the wind blowing roughly 

 "I'm sorry," she says through teary eyes "i'm not interested in you, your a great friend' she continued "your just not my type.." 

{Time skip}

It's about 10 years later..

her and jack are still together,

and he finally found the right person for him.

he now lives with his wife and 3 kids

he found his happily ever after
