`Perceive`

I know this girl through someone else. Through how I first knew her, she was awesome. The person who introduced me to her was like fascinated with her. So let’s call this girl Liz.

Well my friend loved to tell me about Liz – that she was cool, had a super cool boyfriend who was also famous, had a rich and happy life – a perfect girl. Note, this is a true story.

So I was like, “really!? She must be really lucky!”

Or so I thought.

Sooner or later, my friend and I realized there was something wrong with Liz. Her stories were inconsistent and she was afraid that we would spread her story of her life to other people – one thing that isn’t usual with a person proud of herself, especially of her boyfriend.

She was living a fairytale based on The OC, One Tree Hill, Laguna Beach and other teeny bopper series on TV.

It was weird, I thought she was true. The problem is why did she have to tell us these things that weren’t true? It felt really awkward finding out that all her life’s stories were lies. It would have been better if this was just a story… but this is real life and we’re real people she’s playing with.
