A love story

10 th grade
As I sat there in English class , I stared at the girl next to me . She was my so called " best friend " . I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn ' t notice me like that , and I knew it. After class , she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her . She said " thanks " and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her , I want her to know that I don ' t want to be just friends , I love her but I ' m just too shy, and I don' t know why .
11 th grade
The phone rang . On the other end , it was her . She was in tears , mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart . She asked me to come over because she didn ' t want to be alone , so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine . After 2 hours , one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips , she decided to go to sleep . She looked at me, said " thanks " and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her , I want her to know that I don ' t want to be just friends , I love her but I ' m just too shy, and I don ' t know why .
Senior year
The day before prom she walked to my locker . My date is sick " she said; he' s not going to go well, I didn ' t have a date , and in 7 th grade , we made a promise that if neither of us had dates , we would go together just as " best friends " . So we did . Prom night, after everything was over , I was standing at her front door step . I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes . I want her to be mine, but she isn ' t think of me like that , and I know it. Then she said " I had the best time , thanks !" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her , I want her to know that I don ' t want to be just friends , I love her but I ' m just too shy, and I don ' t know why .
Graduation Day
A day passed , then a week , then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn ' t notice me like that , and I knew it. Before everyone went home , she came to me in her smock and hat , and cried as I hugged her . Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, " you ' re my best friend , thanks " and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her , I want her to know that I don' t want to be just friends , I love her but I ' m just too shy, and I don ' t know why .
A Few Years Later
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now . I watched her say " I do " and drive off to her new life , married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn ' t see me like that , and I knew it. But before she drove away , she came to me and said " you came!" . She said " thanks " and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her , I want her to know that I don' t want to be just friends , I love her but I ' m just too shy, and I don ' t know why .
Funeral
Years passed , I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my " best friend " . At the service , they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years . This is what it read : I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn' t notice me like that , and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don ' t want to be just friends , I love him but I' m just too shy, and I don ' t know why . I wish he would tell me he loved me ! ` I wish I did too . . . ` I thought to my self, and I cried.

In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.

Anger is defending oneself when you feel threatened. Any time you have an outburst, just ask yourself what you fear losing and be honest with yourself, even if it makes you cry, then tell yourself your mind is mistakenly telling you have much less control over your situation than you actually do, and work toward self control. It’s the only thing you can really control. To the situations you can’t control, give everything you can, build the world you want to see, acquire skills to improve your life and the lives of people around you. Feed the hopes, not the fears. ~ Oliva Sullen Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.~ Mark Twain We cannot see our own faults. So when others point them out we should pay attention and be grateful and we should not be too eager to see the weaknesses in others. ~ Gurmel Singh Anybody can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right pers...
