LETTER GIRL (KathBie)

Chapter 2: The Day I Realized I Loved Him

I used to think falling at love at young ages was crazy but I was very, VERY WRONG. What's worse is that I figured it out in the sixth grade..quite embarassing if you ask me. And so this is how it went...

------------------------------------------------------------

Me and Aria went to our very first dance together with Albie. The night was perfect for a little bit of "middle school" romance. The gym was nice and cleared out and the Dance Comittee even put up some lights to accent the mood. 

Students began to arrrive and soon the party was getting started. 

Everyone seemed so comfortable on the dance floor in fact so did I. I turned to look for Albie except he was hanging out with some other girls and Aria was busy chatting with Migs, one of Albie’s friends. 

You would think my two best friends in the world wouldn't ditch me but they did and I was left out alone. I decided to dance to the fast songs even though I was by myself but when it came down to the slow songs I would stand aside.

Now..you would think Albie would ask me to dance but he didn't, instead he had a parade of girls on a waiting list. HE HAD A FREAKIN WAITING LIST! While I couldn't even manage to get one guy. What's worse was that he danced with all the annoying girls who think their "all that". Ugh! I'm not JEALOUS!

But after awhile I couldn't stand it anymore so I sat through every slow song.

An hour passed.

And than another one passed.

Until finally the DJ announced that the night was over and he asked us to look for our special person. 

I looked around for anyone that would approach me but no one came. 

I watched Aria from afar and scowled in envy. She was in the arms of Migs and I thought Albie was probably on the dance floor with some hoochie. 

I couldn't help myself..I already started to cry until a blurred vision of a hand stretched out came into my eyes.

"kath..stupid girl..come dance with me?"

I wiped my eyes and came face to face with Kath. That jerk..he was just asking me now.

Albie just waved his hand in front of my face while I glared at him. After awhile he just grabbed my arm and dragged me to the dancefloor.

"Why'd you ask me. They said someone special, shouldn't you go ask Miss Dess over there?", I said saracstically.

Albie just scowled at me and said, "Will you shut up already? Isn't it quite obvious that your my special person?"

I just glared at him with pure shock and he began to turn red.

"I didn't mean it like that..I mean that your my best friend.", Albie said.

Than the pang came..like I was hurt. And right than and there I realized..I'm in love with Albie Casino….
