I looked at him maybe three times, then stopped. ''I'm being a creep...'' I thought. I'd never felt love, but I wanted to feel love now-or was that just imaginary? ''School is for losers- hey, Maci! How are you?'' He said, grinning his shining smile. I melted on the inside, just a bit. Maybe love was distant, like what Tia had experienced. Or maybe... ''So, you going to the dance?'' Ty asked. I malfunctioned at that moment. ''Um-ye-no-mayb-hey, are you?'' I looked down at my feet. ''I am a creep- and he knows.'' I thought. ''I might. Hey, if you are going, do you mind asking Tia to come along? I heard she needs some cheering up, after what happened with Jay...'' He asked. Thoughtful? Smart? Cute? How is he single?! ''Well, I see my ride. Just so you know-'' His hand brushed against mine, on purpose. ''-remember to bring Tia...'' Then I snapped back into reality. He wanted Tia, my sister... not me. I smiled, then waved goodbye. Back at home, I buried my head into my pillow and screamed. Of course he wanted Tia, the literal bride of perfection! I was just an ugly nobody who he was using to get to someone's sister. I could be mad at Tia, but... I decided to go. ''I will definitely regret this...'' I said to myself, '' ...but I will go there and look my absolute best, even if it's just my ugly face.'' ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Follow for Part 2!
