Not that she didn't love almost every boy she'd ever met, and not that every boy in the world didn't totally love her. It was impossible not to. But she wanted someone to love her and shower her with attention the way only a boy who was completely in love with her could. The rare sort of love. True love. The kind of love she'd never had.

It really kind of sucked to be close to someone for so long and then suddenly not be anything anymore.

I'll tell you what I think. I think you need to stay indoors reading more books!
