Not What I Want, But What I Need

Chapter 1:Perfect Guy

"OK Mia Truth or Dare?" Jessica asked me with such an intense look I couldn't help but laugh.

"Truth" I blurted out between chuckles my friends were shocked considering that I so rarely chose truth when we all play the game.

"OH! I've got a good one!" my best friend since middle school, Selena jumped with excitement. "What is your description of the perfect guy?". Now I remember why I only pick dare. I've never actually paid much attention to guys since I went to an all-girls boarding school. Though I didn't know it at the moment that question was more than just a truth or dare question I would be stuck on this for a while.

"I-I Don't Know honestly, I've never paid much attention to guys you know?" I looked at my friends with such an innocent look I could've been the devil disguised as an angel and they would have believed me. I received many sympathy looks, I'm guessing because we're already 21 and I've had only 3 boyfriends. Meaning 1 of 3 things I'm very ugly which I could believe or I'm too intimidating or people don't like my background. This means sadly that I am still a virgin but I don't care about that I want to wait till I'm married anyway.

"It's Alright Mia You're Birthday is coming up soon and that means we'll all be 21 and finally go to a club as a whole group!" Amanda looked a little too excited to go clubbing to me but I wasn't gonna put her down. it's always been the four of us since the beginning of high school and i hope that's how it always is no matter how pushy they all can be. I was the only one who was still 20 and they said as soon as I turned the legal age we would go for a girl's night out.

"yeah clubbing. well, it's getting late Selena wants to go back to our room, or will you just come later?" Oblivously I was trying to avoid the subject and get out of there but no one got my hint.

"I'll go later I'm gonna stay here and help the girls plan your birthday, just leave the door unlocked love" I'm leaving so they can plan my Birthday party? I mean honestly don't care as long as they don't invite strippers as they did for Jessica's party, i faked the flu and hid in the bathroom the whole time, upside down about the whole event I learned a lot about shampoo. I walked out of Amanda and Jessica's dorm to go down the hall to mine and Selena's. I fumbled with my keys a bit before finally getting it open i threw all my stuff on the floor by the closet. I changed into a big T-shirt and some basketball shorts before hopping on the top bunk. My description of the perfect guy. I'd have to start thinking about that one.

I looked over at the clock it was already 1 in the morning I heard Selena come in but didn't really feel like starting a conversation. I've been trying to go to sleep since ten but, that stupid question has been running through my mind all night. I couldn't take it anymore I quietly climbed down from my bed and grabbed an empty notebook, pencil, and a flashlight. I crawled back into my bed and began to brainstorm. It took me what felt like an eternity to write anything down but when I started I didn't stop. I Was making a list, a list of qualities my 'perfect guy' would have. The first five were the most important to me for some reason.

1."He'll have Brown eyes"

2."He'll have short black hair"

3."He'll be the same height as me"

4."He'll only be sweet for me"

5."He won't be the jealous type"

I wrote and wrote not keeping track of time or what else was going on around me. I finished writing my sentence and looked through the notebook I had filled a page front and back with things I wanted in a guy, but I knew that list could go on forever. I looked at the clock and was completely stunned when I saw it was already nine-thirty. I leaned over the railing on my bed to look at Selena she was still sound asleep. I really want to show her this though. Without even thinking I started to make alarm clock noises. Her eyes slowly opened and she was squinting. "Morning sunshine," I said with a wide grin still leaning over the railing, looking at her upside down. As soon as she heard me her eyes almost bugged out of her head and she screamed. I freaked out and fell over the railing, landing right on my arse. I groaned in pain. Note to self never be Selena's alarm clock.
