believe in romance for there is truth in it but also remember that everything has its limitation

"
Liezl is working on her essay for history class, math advance homework, translating French poetry well the list could go on for 5 minutes and still will not be finished. As luck will have it she got detention for getting caught passing notes in Biology class. It wasn't even hers. So at three o'clock she is to go to room 319 and be there for an hour. She thought perhaps she can work on some of her school works there. 

Three o'clock room 319 students are coming in Ms. Pierce is the one who's in charge of detention. She is the guidance counselor. "Okay students make a circle of your chairs." Ms. Pierce instructed.  Sitting next to her is Wilfred. Whow right there. Something is different with him today. He seem handsome. The last time she saw him he was in the sandbox picking on his nose.
Okay, Liezl is sixteen she did have crush but now she is somewhat struck by Wilfred like a love at first sight (well after so many years). 
Ms. Pierce made them talk about the reason about why they are in school and just said to stay focused in class because their school is quite a competitive crowd. yeah, Ivy league schools all those not one student is even thinking of community college.
So she is sitting in her room workin on another assignment. And the phone rings "Hello, may i speak with Liezl Darcey please" It's a man's voice. "This is Liezl. May i know who is on the phone? "Oh well, Liezl, this is Wilred and i have your planner. Quite busy huh? answered the voice on the phone. "Well I'm not sure about that reading personal properties of people but I'll get it at detention tomorrow, Dr. Smith made me go for two days anyway, thanks" "I dont have detention tomorrow." "Oh, well then" he was quick "I'll see you at the cafeteria at lunch." "Um thanks, bye" "See you tomorrow"
Wilfred changed by 7th grade he started wearing all black. That's when they stopped hanging out.
So the next day Liezl was in the cafeteria and someone blinded her eye, well it was a hand. "hey what do you think you're doing?" "I thought you'd remember. we use to do that" "yah when we were seven, can i have my planner now?" Wilfred handed the planner to her.
In detention a substitute teacher was in place of Ms. Pierce so they just do whatever school work they have to do. Liezl examined her planner in the contacts is Wilfred's name. Name: Wilfred Wentworth phone number, and email and even home address. well summer before 7th grade his dad got promoted so they had to move in a suburban very modern house. 
Anyway, she thought maybe he wants to start hanging out again. Oh I certainly have no time for that right now. 
Well, the thing with puppy love is there is this big gesture of the guy to affirm all the thing thats running through the girl's mind. Well Liezl didn't have any thing running through her mind but.... When she looked at their school paper it was their right in her face but not quite so. 
unrequitted love
by W. W. Poem
our love story started 
when we grew apart
and now there is time
we have all the time in the world
that is just in my mind the truth is
you could never be mine
and i accept that
just admiring you from afar
but fate seems to bring us closer
the day when i held you in my hands
the day when i thought 
you will be mine.
but i guess all is fair in love
it is not a game to be played 
but feelings have to be heard
and so listen 
Okay slow it down. She could hear her heart beating so fast it is definitely him. And the poem is definitely hers.
Well, during lunch she was in the library. Well he was there. 
"Do you think you like me?" she asked. "Yes" 
"Do you wanna go out with me?" Wilfred asked
"Yes" She answered.
So Liezl and Wilfred is now a couple. They were so in love and the grades of Liezl started to fall into a dissapointing trajectory. "I think it is your boyfriend, you spend too many hours with him" her mom said. "Well mom can  you give me another semester to prove your wrong because the truth is i had some difficult subjects"
Well that was really a difficult semester. 
BUt the truth is Liezl's dad doesnt approve of Wilfred. They are just so rich now. And Liezl's family is just a simple working class family. Well that's not really the reason. They are like the Capulets and Montagueas of their town. 
Yah. And so one night Liezl and Wilfred snuck out to the park and they were followed by her younger brother. and her dad took it for a reason for her not to see him again.
well she was so in love. it broke her heart.
she didnt go to school for one day becuase her eyes were too puffed and red.
Anyway she went to MIT and majored in HIstory.
She finished a semester early.
what she lacked in love life she made up for school.
and then they saw each other again in some public library in New York.
Whow, her heart. 
"Wilfred"
"So you work here, im sorry i wasnt able to keep in touch with you"
they had coffee
and they spent each day together
after work until it was too late to go to bed
but Liezl was so cautious
she didnt want to get herself hurt again
so one day she didnt show up.
she moved back to California.
she didnt tell him.
He talked to her dad i am in love with your daughter but she doesnt wanna be with me anymore. im sorry to hear that. 
im asking you for her hand in marriage to you approve of me to be your son in law. honestly no. but the decision is still hers. it is her life.
she was sitting in a cafe. may i have coffee with you. she just stared at him . they sat there for two hours. but she didnt say anything. 
she left 
traumatized 
weeks went by
he was heart broken
one day he was in the park playing frisbee with his dog
and he was resting for a while
someone sat next to him
"I don't ever wanna lose you, it felt like dying"
she was crying.
He was smiling at her.
and said 
please wear this ring i have it with me since the day i returned your planner.
