You were weird, she was iconic. You were awkward, she had the confidence of the world, you didn’t.

It’s a way to describe the love story of you and the illustrious Madeleine ‘Maddy’ Perez. Dealing with such a confident, popular girl who was such a hothead was hard— you two made it official to keep the relationship as private as possible.

No one would believe you, a loser who humiliates themselves on a daily basis, is dating Maddy, a girl whose style channels the early aughts and especially doesn’t let herself be weakened down by any girl or boy.

After her relationship with the football captain and quarterback, Nate Jacobs, she went running to you. You used to be friends with her, including Lexi, Cassie, and Kat back in elementary but broke apart since high school. Maddy, Cassie, Kat, sometimes Lexi forming their own group before Cassie started being a low-life snake breaking apart Nate and Maddy’s toxic self proclaimed ‘amazing’ relationships, lowering the group’s friendship.

She hadn’t talk to you since freshman year— and all Kat would’ve gave her is the worst advice. However, Maddy went to you in the weirdest way. She just started dating you, unofficially. Starting to kiss you and hug you when you two were together… alone. It’s a way of coping, you guessed. She’s done this before with other boys. But with you, she was more caring more sweet. Not all sexual. She would brighten more with you, smile more, her voice was more sweeter. She seemed more vulnerable rather than all the bold bullshit she put up.

Maddy officially confessed her love, sweetly and you two started dating. She loved being with you. Sitting together in a diner instead of being in a bed like she did with Nate… laughing with you, going on long drives. Not exposing your relationship to the shitty public that was East Highland High school. Her gifts weren’t her body, it was gifts like clothes or a small teddy bear. You’ve always spend time sending her caring letters with ramos full of elegant flowers and roses of appreciation.
