I get ready to slip a Valentine's Day card in her locker. It kills me a little to think of how close I came to writing down, "I LOVE YOU" in the dead center of it in red permanent marker. I might as well have written down: JACK JOSEPH ALLEN MOORE IS A DUMBASS, but that wouldn't have made much sense. At least not to her.
Even if I wrote "I love you" she probably wouldn't have taken it the way I had intended. People throw that phrase around so much. Especially friends. And that's what we are.
Just friends.
I pull my biggest grin in her direction, and she smiles back and waves slightly, careful not to drop her books. Her boyfriend greets her at the end of the hall with a small box of chocolates, a deep red card, and a hug.
He treats her right—Nikki's boyfriend Drake does.
But I hate him so much.
I slump back against her locker and it feels like spikes are digging, gouging into my spine as I watch Drake kiss her. My breath hitches in my throat as one of his arms wraps around her delicate waist and pulls her closer and closer against his strong body. I will never ever breathe again, I tell myself, but I know I have to because it's a necessity. Just like she is.
I slip the card into her locker.

This was kind of put together a bit last minute. I was going psycho with gradients, so please excuse its . . . awfulness. I just really thought this would be the opportunity to use them along with texture. I've always wanted to figure out how to do this correctly. Oh well.
So I'm hoping you guys have a better Valentine's Day than Jack here. Hell, he got a papercut just from cutting out a heart shaped card. He's so clumsy. And the fact that he has to watch his best friend/crush kiss her boyfriend doesn't make this all too easy for him.
Oh, and I didn't really know what Drake looked like so . . . I just winged it. Pfft. And he's not directly kissing Nikki. It's more like on the corner of the mouth, I guess. *fail*
The gradients make it look like it's a dance. Huh . . .
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! . . . and even if you're single, like yours truly, you still have friends and family! A significant other doesn't necessarily mean happiness. C:
Oh, and just remember that I'll always love you; that's obviously the most important thing. Right? . . . right, guys? Guys?
