STORY STARTER

The person of your dreams suddenly appears in your school, on the same day the person you’ve liked for years confesses their love for you.
How will you choose between two amazing people?
Complexities of a Heart
I’ve always wondered.
What, you expected a more complete statement?
I’ve simply always wondered, and still I don’t know.
It’s supposed to be okay now; it’s alright if I tell, but how could I? After everything? After her? After so many failures, I sometimes question if it even matters.
I had a horrible dream this morning. Terrible—nightmarish, even.
I was told… I was promised…
I look back and forth between my two ‘options,’ but they’re seeming to fade and wriggle like a mirage—it’s hot out, isn’t it?
I know I know nothing for certain. I know they can’t explain it for me. I know I have so much time—but what if none of us really do? Who’s to say?
If I promised you I’d give you the world, could you believe me? I’m not sure I would even fool myself.
So many fish in the sea—true, but there’s more plastic, more garbage. When will the seas turn to acid? Are they already?
It’s something like a puzzle—not the fun type, more like the type that’s had a few pieces stolen away.
I could write about love, but what do I know? People say not to trust stories, so I trust nothing.
I wonder if I’ll ever know.
