Who is Mila Mathews?

Chapter 13

"No"

Erika grabbed another dress from my closet and showed it to me.

"NO"

She grabbed another one.

"NO! This is pointless! I just have to call and cancel the date!" I know I was being overdramatic but I have nothing to wear!

Today is my date with Deni. I had just remembered right after my 'little' conversation with Erika and Winifred. Right now me and Erika can't find ANYTHING for me to wear. I looked at the clock. Two hours to get ready.

Erika grabbed another dress. It was a salmon color and it had a white outline. It was a flowery pattern and sorta see through though if you put it on you can't see anything. It was the best I could really do.

I ran to the bathroom and straightened my hair. I put a little mascara and a bit of light pink eye shadow. I throw on the dress and put on a pair of nude shoes. I took one last look in the mirror and looked at the clock. It was 7:30. He was supposed to be here 7:45. 

I waited then heard a knock. I sat up and answered the door. Deni stood in the door frame looking quite handsome. He had on a pair of black jeans and a sky blue colored shirt. His hair was slightly messy and I couldn't help but admire him.

"Hello Tally" He smiled and walked forward. I couldn't help but smile to and grabbed his outstretched hand and we walked out of my dorm.

20 minuets later we pulled up into a little restaurant. When we walked in we were immediately seated and we sat down at our table. I scanned through the menu but I couldn't really focus to well on what I wanted. I could only think about what was said today. Then after they said everything we locked all our things in the closet.

I put my menu down and found Deni staring at me. I looked up at his silver eyes but he then he looked down.

The waitress came back and took our orders. I got the same exact thing as Deni got.

"Is something wrong Tally?" Deni's vice filled my ears and I looked up and shook my head.

"No, nothings wrong" I responded.

"You sure?

"Yah" I kept my head down and didn't talk to him. I didn't want to look at him. I didn't even want to be here. I wanted to go home. Not the school but to my home!

"Tally... "Deni's voice trailed off and I felt him grabbing my hand. "Are you okay?"

I didn't even notice I was crying until Deni leaned forward and wiped a tear off my cheek.

"Yes..." I laughed to myself and said "You probably think I'm a freak" I laughed again because of the confused look on Deni's face.

"Why would I think that?"

"Because I'm crying for no reason and we haven't even gotten out of dinner yet." I laughed agin and Deni looked at me as if I had told him that the world is square.

"Thats not weird. Tally, nobody is weird. We are so used to being around different humans and their attitudes and decision making that we can't call someone crying weird. Now we can only call the people who are normal weird. It's the same thing with beauty. If we all had zits on our faces and big belly's then we would still be attracted to each other. We would get used to that look and like it. And if everybody is ugly and weird, then nobody is ugly and weird." He smiled as though he had made a point. Did he?

"Yah, I see what you're saying. It makes some sense." I looked down again, trying to avoid his gaze.

"You are so cute Tally. I really like you. I wish you would just talk to me..." He looked at me and gave me a pleading look for me to tell him what was on my mind.
