The Life of a Regular, Yet Not so Regular LB.
Once upon a time there was a little lb living in a big world. This lb was in grade 9, and had just graduated from grade 8.
-The Lb's Grade 8-
In the beginning of grade 8 the little lb had no friends and was lonely because he came from a school where none of the kids went to Holy Cross. The little lb tried very hard to make friends and at first it was hard. Finally he made some friends and it looked like his life was starting to get better. And it did get better, he started meeting new people, making new friends and started to like Holy Cross. This lb was very self-concious, he would always be thinking about what others are thinking about him. Because the lb was like this, it was hard for him to open up to people. But one day, when he and his band class went on few day field trip to Seattle he finally opened up to people. After the band trip the little lb grew really close to the friends he made and bonded with in Seattle. After the band trip, he started to talk to grade 9's too and made more friends. But whenever the little lb was invited to go out somewhere he would be really worried. This is because all the lb had for clothing was lb clothes. He wanted to fit in and be cool really badly, but none of the 'cool' clothes would fit him because he is really short. When he first went out with friends he was very self-concious and shy most of the time. But he endured it. Finally, the lb got some 'cool' clothes, and started to think he was fitting in. The problem was that those were his only 'cool' clothes and he would have to constantly rewear them, which in time, made them uncool. But luckly for the lb, Holy Cross has a required uniform so he doesnt have to worry about 'cool' clothes at school. The rest of the lb's grade 8 year was good, he made new friends and opened up to more people.
-The Lb's Grade 9-
The lb was happy and lb-ish as usual in the beginning. The lb first opened up to this one girl, and in time, started to like her. He would always talk to her, and have fun with her. Her locker was even beside his, which gave them more time to talk. The only thing that went wrong was that the girl didn't feel the same way as the lb. She started to talk to the lb about the guys she liked. This discouraged the lb. The lb even called the song "you belong with me" by Taylor Swith his "story of my life" song. But he still continued to like her. Even though he was basicly helping the one he liked hook up with the one she liked. But finally he gave in and gave up. After giving up, the lb stopped talking to her as much. The lb stopped talking to most girls in general. Until he started talking to this one girl again. The lb started becoming closer friends with her (They were friends before but they didn't alot in the beginning of grade 9). The girl would constantly ask who the lb liked because some people, if not most people still thought he liked the first girl because he never told anyone otherwise. The lb would usually reply with "I don't know" or "no one". But the girl would always say the lb was lying or not telling her the truth. She was right. The lb did like someone. He liked her. He started falling for the girl, thinking about her and care so much about her. The lb didn't know what to do, he wouldn't know what to do or what to say when he talked to her but he still found a way to talk to her. The lb was scared because he was never good with girls and was never good at socializing. The girl continued to ask him who he liked, but the lb was always to shy to say that he liked her. The girl asked if the lb liked the first girl but he said the lb replied with no. She kept asking why not, and the lb replied with "why do I have to", "I don't" and kept denying it. One day after countless times of asking, the girl said "I'm not going to talk to you until you tell me why". This caused the lb to be very sad. He didn't know what to do or what to say, but he wanted to talk to her again badly. After awhile of not speaking to each other, the girl finally said "are you going to tell me now?" The lb was still a bit shy, but he knew he wanted to talk to her again and promised himself if he had the chance to talk to her he'd tell her. The lb said "I don't like her because I like someone else". The lb was happy. He finally talked to her again. But somewhere in his heart he was in a state of melancholy. This is because he wanted to tell her his feelings for her, but never had the courage to do so. The girl started to ask him "who do you like?" and the lb usually said "I don't know" or "no one", but he was killing himself on the inside for not telling her that he liked her. He finally got enough courage and convinced himself that he would tell the girl that he liked her while they were at their grade 9 retreat. He had quite a bit of chance to tell her. It was like God was trying to help him in his time of need. But when the lb saw the girl hanging out with this other guy a lot he started to think the girl liked that other guy. He again lost courage. But he still wanted to tell her, no matter what. He had the perfect chance. He and the girl were lying down beside each other, and no one was talking because we were doing a meditation. The lb want to lean over and whisper in her ear that he liked her. But his courage failed him in the very end. He ended up just laying there, beside her, with no words coming out of his mouth. Like he forgot how to speak. He ended up not saying anything to her and telling her his feelings. On the bus ride back to Holy Cross the lb made a vow to himself that he would tell her. No matter what. At Holy Cross the girl said "you were supposed to tell me. Who is it?" and the lb said "I know...". They walked away from each other and the girl sat down at a cafeteria table. The lb turned around, walked up to her and whispered to her from behind he said. "You". The night of that day the lb was very happy. He was happy because he finally told her and got it out of him. The next day the girl didn't talk to the lb and avioded him. This made the lb very depressed. The lb was so afraid to tell her because he was afraid this might happen. After a period of depression the lb finally started talking to the girl again. The awkward-ness went away, and they talked normaly again. After this the lb started to fall for her even more. He would talk to her more and whenever something bad happened between them the lb would always be emo. The lb would always sit outside on the cement bleachers by the Holy Cross football field in the rain thinking. Some other things the lb also did was: get hit by a truck with her, run/sit/be in pouring rain thinking about her, skip dance practice to walk her to the bus stop, skip/leave class without permission with her, clean the whole house because his mom gave them a ride to her house in IC Delta, talk on the phone with her, skip jazz band practice for her. The lb even made a blog to vent out his feelings and made the name iliketoventouttoyou, cleverly capitalizing the letters I, L, O, V, E, Y, O, U.
Currently the lb continues his life and hopes for a good future.

"Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
It is not self-seeking, nor easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongdoing.
It does not delight in evil,
But rejoices in the truth.
It always protects, trusts, hopes, and preserves.
There is nothing love cannot face;
There is no limit to its faith, love, hope, and endurance.
In a world there are three things that last forever:
Faith, hope, and love;
But the greatest of them all is love."
-1 Corinthians 13: 4-7
"It is not enough to just simply accept love. One must know how to give it."
