Un-Valentine
I handed the crinkled dollar bill to the student teacher standing in the hallway. She gave me a sucker with a happy face on it. Cherry cheesecake, I think. I had no idea how it would taste, but I would never know unless I tried. I took off the plastic and put the sucker in my mouth. It was gross.
Note to self: stick to the real thing in the future.
I walked away and discarded the lollipop quickly. As I made my way to the front door. I saw friends hugging each other, holding little valentines. There was a girl who was thanking her boyfriend for a sweet chocolate rose. The school shop was selling small candy hearts and heart balloons. A group of kids were thrusting their money at the person in charge.
I pushed open the front door, kicking a pebble. Candy hearts, chocolate roses, foil valentines; what’s so special about this made up holiday anyway?
*Note: I don’t really feel this way about Valentine’s Day.

I think only people who don’t have valentines hate valentines day because they are cynical idiots. If you don’t have a valentine make one up! But either way whoever they are don’t argue with our fun! Ask a friend to be your valentine and get them something and then they’ll owe you! Its that simple!
