Through her eyes

Chapter 6 - The Week Before

It. Was. Here.

This weekend would be the Junior High Dance. All around the grade, boys were asking girls, and girls were going in groups.

I didn't have a date, but I didn't care much. Arina and Anna had been asked. Marco was prepping. He ran up to her as we were walking after fourth period. 

"Hey baby! So, here is a list of all the possible dress colors you could wear that would match my tux! WOW, we are going totally going to be the cutest couple!!" 

She rolled her eyes and glared at me as he ran off skipping.

 Marco had always cared what other people thought, more than himself, or even his girlfriend! Damn that kid was obsessed with what looked back at him in his mirror.

Ever since our first English class a few weeks ago, Anna could not stop talking about Mike. I was like her cheeks had been frozen into a smile. She could not believe a boy had liked her so much, that he would ask her to the dance. I did.

The next day, I realized I was going to have a lonely time at the dance. Chrissy ran up to me, sped past the herd of kids going to there stuffed lockers, and stopped with a grin like that of the cheshire cat.

"oh my god. Kaylen asked me to the dance!! I am so sorry but I am going to have to cancel on our plans to go as a duo!" I was so happy for her, but then I realized I was going to be at the dance all by myself. Great, another one of those! "OMG thats amazing Chrissy! No problem." I grinned and she grinned back, modeling her baby blue braces that matched her eyes. She was so gorgeous.

The next two days were spent debating.

 What to do! 

Go all alone and look like an idiot, or stay at home and eat pizza and donuts? I knew which one sounding like a better option, but I also knew I would be missing out on a lot of fun. And possibly some hilarious moments.

It was Friday, and I knew that this debate was coming to a close. I made my final decision, and walked up to the stand in the middle of the library. "One ticket for the Junior High Dance please." 

"Here you go! I hope it's a boatload of fun." 

"Me too ma'am, me too."
