Making Choices

Hannah was an ordinary girl. Her face wasn’t much to look at, mainly because it was the complete opposite of proportional; basically, she was not wanted or liked by her friends; especially guys. A lot of guys could only look at her as a friend, nothing more than that. But behind her ‘not so pretty face’, she was actually a very smart, kind-hearted and cheerful—although pessimistic—person. A lot of her friends liked talking and sharing secrets with her because she’s a fun person and she had the skills to solve unique problems and various other things.

One day, a new student showed up at her school, his name was Donny, and he was a foreigner. His face was very handsome and his body was looking fine! Almost every girl in the school was crazy about him. There was something special about Donny, more than any other guy. Somehow, he could attract everybody’s attention simply by standing there; doing nothing at all. Basically, every girl was attracted to him. No questions asked.

The next semester, another guy came into the school; his name was Rico. He is also very handsome and very nice! From that day on, Donny and Rico were continuously competing with each other without even realizing it.

Before Rico came to that school, no one knew why, but Donny liked to ask questions about subjects and homework to Hannah. Not long after that, they became really close. Surprisingly, Hannah and Donny were seated quite close to one another. When Rico came to the school, Hannah was the only person kind enough to greet him and show him around the school; which was how their friendship started. Hannah was a fun girl as said before; but still, she had a fair few characteristics that were pretty much below average.

Hannah was confused because the fact was that she liked Donny and Rico. After school, Rico asked Hannah if she’d like to walk home together, because there was a group project that they had to finish together. However, during their group project, Rico told Hannah that he liked her. She was so shocked because she never thought that he would like her. She wondered why this was happening to her but she couldn’t say anything. She just stood there and kept quiet.

The next day, the air was filled with gossip about Donny asking Hannah to be his girlfriend; this only created more confusion. Why everything was suddenly focused on me? Are they serious or are they just joking? Those questions kept on hanging in her mind. In a split second, everything had changed. All the girls in the school acted so cold and continued to pull various evil faces at Hannah. Hannah became so stressed out because there were two popular guys that liked her.

Hannah became so awkward that she couldn’t even concentrate on her work. She failed her exams and basically everything was just out of place. Because of all the stress that she had had to deal with, she went to the top of the school at the last day of the semester. She tried to jump off the building, but Donny spotted her and pulled her down.

Then they talked with each other, and finally Hannah was calmed. Donny; being the Christian that he was, encouraged Hannah to take better care of herself, and rather than having those stupid thoughts; she should just ask for guidance from the Lord. From that day on, Hannah prayed to God everyday so that her mind wouldn’t be filled with such crazy things. She went on to date Donny, and as for the others, they came to realize that it was all okay; even Rico fell for another girl.
