I found myself on the floor, with Carson's mom and Carson looking at me like I was a strange creature that just fell on earth. "Uh, Gemma? How did you end up here?" Carson asked me. "She couldn't have.... Heard our conversation, right??" His mom whispered to him. "I think she has, mom. See, that's why I don't want you blabbering! Ugh!" Carson yelled. "Okay, okay. Are you okay, sweetie? Come on, let's get you up and going!" His mom lifted me up, along with Carson. They got me over to my house, and put me in my room. "Rest up, Gemma." Carson said, and walked back with his mom. Could he really be going on that date? I... Wish I can stop that date from happening. Please stop time. Stop.. Him from going to that date. 'I know! I'll spy on him!' I thought as I sprung from my bed, getting ready to dress.
I walked across the street to Kattie Cafe. I pulled my hat down and pulled my fake glasses on. My flower patterned skirt and my grey cat shirt flowed with the wind as I walked in. Carson was there, waiting for the so called "Beautiful girl" to come. I shuffled over to the table behind him, where he can't see me. I pretended to look at the menu when the girl came. She had brown hair that sways when she is walking. She wore a bright, light green dress and sashayed over to where Carson was sitting, peering at him.
"So, are you the boy who really wants— no, desperately, wants to marry me?" She asked, sliding into the chair across from him. "Er..... Yes?" Carson said, unsure. "Okay. Then tell me about yourself, we'll talk a little bit, and you can go shopping with me." She said. "Okay, I'm Carson, nice to meet you.." He started, and continued. "Blah blah blah...." They talked while my hands sweat and my face tighten. I really hope that they.. Don't get together!!
The girl smiled and talked to Carson. But when they stood up to go shopping, the girl fainted. Carson got a hold of her, tight in his arms. "Are you okay?" He asked. The girl's face got red and shyly smiled. "Oops, I guess the medicine won't work. I'm back to my usual self. I guess I don't really belong in these clothes now, right?" She said softly. "You took medicine just to come and meet me?" Carson asked, full of surprise. "Yes. The medicine makes me tough and just like a popular and rich girl. Mom said don't get hurt by... You. So I took the medicine but I was melted by your warmth." She smiled. "I need new clothes. Let's go?" "Yes." He smiled at her and the two of them walked out. My heart crushed. She was more prettier and more kind than me. 'I think I can't stalk this date anymore. Carson will definitely choose her!' I thought, and ran away. Carson.. Do you really like me? Or was what you said to your mom about me a joke?
