Being Nice

Valentine’s Day in middle school, I was feeling the love in the air and ready to look for that one person. I had flowers, a gift, and the courage to ask this special someone to be the one for me.

With enough courage I walked up to her, presented myself and asked her. She said she was going to think about it which I thought might be a yes. Then on the day we went back to school she said yes. I was happy and was ready to do my best to make her happy.

But as I was alone her friends and my good friends came to me and told me what she had planned. Knowing what they said, I was devastated and went on as if I was okay.

Her plan was to just go with me because I was a nice guy and she didn't want me to get hurt at first, then only go with me for two days. Just knowing that I was crushed.

So I just went about it and till the second day she broke it off, she gave back the gift and till this day I'll never forget what happened. I was really hurt and felt that nice guys really do finish last...
