Fairytale.

Let me write you my fairytale.

Once upon a time, not too long ago, there lived a girl.  Now, she is no ordinary girl. Some might look at her and say, what an ugly creature! Get her out of our sight!
Yes.
But, this girl had many talents, too. She was a total nerd and she loved music.  Not only this, but she was a princess. A daughter of a King.  Most girls are.
Well.
One day, a charming prince knocked at her window and tempted her with his romantic words and his flattery.  At first, she was not fooled.  Many princes will do anything for a princess. Even if they do look like crap.
But, by and by, she fell in love with him.  And yes, he broke her heart.  And she didn't care.
Nearly a year went by, and after falling in love with the prince's best friend and possibly every guy in the castle, she began to realize that she was still in love with the prince. It wasn't her fault. But she thought maybe, just maybe, if the prince had loved her ugly face once, he might love it again.
So, she kept it a secret.
Mostly because she was afraid.
And she had good reason to be afraid.  After months, she finally gave in and went completely ballistic.
She sent him letter after letter, at first with his charming replies, and those replies lasted.
Then one day, they stopped.
She worried. She fretted. She hoped nothing had happened.
But, something did happen.
The prince had stopped playing his useless charade. He had never loved her. She knew when she saw him. She told herself, Don't go near him. She knew from the day he knocked at her window. She knew he would eventually forget about her and despise her face, resolving to find another princess.
And so the princess sat on her windowsill, never to be loved again.
The end.

The moral of this story is: never fall in love.
