Maria waited timidly at her front door. She looked down at her new black boots. The toes had already started to scuff. Her knee-length maroon dress fit snugly around her stomach making her look skinny. This was one reason she loved fit and flare dresses. She worriedly ran her fingers through her curled black hair. She checked her fingers to make sure her nail polish hadn't chipped. It had. She still couldn't fathom why Charlie O'Conners had asked her out she was one hundred eighty pounds of ugly and bad hair extensions. Though no one else thought of her that way. She peaked out he window again. Finally seeing head lights she opened the door and walked to the car. Charming Charlie O'Conners greeted her with a smile and they drove away to their date. Neither of them could see the bloody child with white eyes watching them leave.
