It was a plain day and I was checking Facebook as usual. Saving my favorite k-pop pictures. I come across this picture I've seen it a million times before, it's that pic that tells you that the object to your left is your weapon for the zombie apocalypse. This time I had left a comment. A sword was the object to my left.
?The next morning it was a nice day but I would rather be on Facebook. My mother has turned of the wifi trying to make me go outside. I walk out the door and suddenly a sword is in my hand and it's the zombie apocalypse. "OMG". I start freaking out, I close my eyes and swing the sword in disbelief. I find a safe place to hide out till I can find another human in this harsh world.
It has been one whole week and I can't find anyone, not even one human. At this point in my life all I can say is "I didn't even get my first kiss". ??Can I tell you a story? ?Since you didn't answer I will take that as a yes. In high school I was what you call one of the nerds no one thought I was human. Well I was human and I had this big crush on one of the popular guy his name was Jeremy but he never noticed me, for a teenage girl that is a big deal.

Out of the shadow this human figure appears its that boy the one in the story. He said "I was playing X-box one minute and the next I was here". I go looking for food since I have one more mouth to feed and just by luck I come across a little supermarket on the corner of the street.
It's been 3 weeks and Jeremy and I have gotten a lot closer. I found out things that even his friends don't know like in primary school he use to be one of the nerds and he knows how to play the violin. I was shocked that he knew how to play the violin. The weird thing is I like him for him because, I use to like him because he was one of those popular guys. It's getting dark and Jeremy and I go to sleep. I wake up the next morning and I'm in my own bed as if nothing had happened. I do the usual and get ready for school. The bell rings I get to class just on time I walk in the door Jeremy waves, I turn back in confusion he was waving to me I sit next him for the lesson. At recess he leaves his friends to come talk to me. We start talking then all of a sudden wham he kisses me and all I could say was finally my first kiss...
