The summer right before 9th grade was really fun. We went to parties and danced and had so much fun! I had actually hanged out with Dalton a lot, it was nice to hang out with him again after all these years.
On the 4th of July everyone went to the park to watch the fireworks. Almost everyone from school came. There was trucks selling food, it was like a whole festival. "I'm so sad that I can't eat anything!" Holly said
"Why not?" I asked, "because I'm on a diet, I'm trying to get skinny before 9th grade."
I look down. Did I need to get skinny before 9th grade? My body shape was described as a pear, I had small boobs and a small waist but I had thick thighs and legs. I look at the rest of the girls. Their bodies were thin. Oh no! I have to get skinny legs if I wanna stay in this group! I thought. I look at Delilah from across the park. She was talking and laughing with her friends. She looked so happy, I can tell why people think she is pretty than me. I look over and I see William walk up to her. "Boy you've got me fucked up!" I said and I quickly walked over there. The girls followed me.
"William!" I said, "what the fuck do you think you're doing to my sister!" I asked. "Diana, I-"
"No there's literally no excuse for this!" I turn to Delilah, "Delilah why don't you go over there and get a churro?" I suggested and gave her a dollar. "Um, okay" she replied. She took the dollar and walked away her friend following her. "You piece of shit!" I yelled. "First you make out with me and then don't talk to me for weeks and now you think you were gonna do the same to Delilah? Let me tell you something, asshole! Me and Delilah might have the same face but we are completely different! You think you can just get with her cause we look the same?! Is that all you wanted me for? Huh? Answer me!"
He stumbled, "I-I didn't know you had a twin, I-I thought that she was you!"
I tried to hold my laugh in for a few seconds and then I burst out into laughter. "Y-you didn't know? Like everyone in the school knows me and Delilah!" I laugh. The girls started laughing too. "Anyways, what did you want to say to me?" I asked, "well I was gonna ask if you wanted to watch the fireworks with me, their about to start now"
I didn't notice, they were in about 10 minutes. "Uh, sure"
"Just you and me"
I felt myself get flustered. Then I look over at the girls and Misty tells them to walk away as she winks at me. "Y-yeah" I replied.We went all the way to the big hill above the park. No one was up there, just me and William. "I'm really sorry about what happened" he said, "no it's fine, I definitely overreacted" I replied. "I just like my friends to think I'm cool and if I told them I kissed a popular girl it would make me cool. But I really did want to kiss you, you're really cool."
"I wish that was true, this is barley the real me"
"What do you mean?"
"Well I changed I used to be in Delilah's friend group. The people that get picked on and paint all day in the art room. I'm not sure why I would be a brag. I'm weird all I used to do is sit in the art room painting, talking to the teacher about how much I loved art and I wanted to be an artist. I would get scolded for cursing to much, well actually that one didn't change" I chuckled. "I wouldn't wear makeup to hide my ugly freckles and I was insecure and I just wanted to be one of them. Now that I actually am I don't feel like myself, I don't recognize myself anymore." I looked up at him. He was so tall, his black hair was long and put in a low ponytail. He was so handsome. Then he bent down slightly as he pulled my waist in and kissed me. The fireworks went off and I pulled him back into me and kissed him. I loved kissing him, his lips were so soft and he was good kisser. He pulled away first and looked at me. "Diana, I want to know that side of you. If you are willing to let me in." I smiled. He was so sweet, he wasn't like they said he was. "William? Will you be my boyfriend?" I asked. "Yes."
And that was when I started. My prince finally came to me. Like Snow White, at 14 years old. Luckily it was another 14 year old though and not a 30 year old man.
