Love Sucks

Chapter 2

When winter break finally ended, we headed home for the start of school. That's when I knew he liked me. It was quite obvious, actually. On the plane ride home, he asked me to the winter dance, which was a week away. I started panicking. What was I going to wear? What was the theme? Were we going to match? I put these questions to rest and nodded at him. Suddenly, I forgot how to speak to him.

Once time came for the dance, I looked at the final two outfits that I had chose: one was a mini black dress with high black boots, and the other was a long, flowing midnight blue dress with platform heels. Instinctively, I called my best friend, Tracey. She was the perfect person to decide what my look would be. When she answered the phone, I described my situation, leaving out the details of the lake house. She immediately chose the black mini. Tracey said it would look good with anything he would wear. I graciously thanked her. A half hour later, I had perfected my make-up and slid into my dress.

You know all those prom movies when the girl walks down the staircase? Well, that's not the case for me. We met in a dark alleyway, and walked to the dance. I was lucky that Tracey chose the dress she did; I would be tripping over the other one.

Once we got to prom, all eyes were on me. I was a popular girl in school; Alex kept to himself. No one knew I was going to the dance with Alex except Tracey, and she just found out.

The dance wasn't that fun. It's just a bunch of teens dancing to loud, annoying music and spilling punch all over the gym floor.

It was what happened after the dance that worried me. Alex seemed rushed to get me away from him. He took me home before the dance even finished, just as the sun was going down. I hardly got out of the car before he sped away. He didn't even say good-bye. I wondered what was going on.
