Breaking Boys 2

"There was the boy whose dad was the principal. He only dated me when I got skinny and pretty enough to receive his friend's approval. He had dated me before, only to break up with me over the phone two days later. I took this as a sign that I wasn’t good enough. So when I got "good" enough, he was right there waiting. He was the boy who wanted to hold my hand and take me to the dance. I was the girl who didn’t want anyone to know we were together. And when I started getting more attention from boys, I wrote him a "dear john" letter in the middle of summer."
