The Ugly Girl Contest

Chapter 2

"Um, my name is...is...is" I attempted to speak to Shane. Obviously, it wasn't working.

"Carly," Stacy said, " her name is Carly."

It was then I thanked God for the hot pocket stealing bitch I call my best friend.

Now you may think "what is wrong with her, can't she talk to guys?"

The answer to that is Yes and No. My other best friend, besides Stacy, Brandon was a guy but that was a guy friend. Someone who I would never have sexual affairs with. That is what they call the friend zone.

Example:

Shane asked me if he could walk me to class and this is what I said "Why that would be gosh darn nice. I'd fond that intensely."

I said that.

Stacy fell over in laughter.

Shane however just smiled at me.

————later that day——————————-

"No"

"Yes"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Stacy no!"

"Sharkiesha nooo!"

"Stacy..."

"Yes?"

"NO!"

Stacy and I were currently having a very heated argument about whether it was her fault that I was late for school and then got hot pocket robbed.

Look I take my food very seriously okay.

"If you actually woke up on time this wouldn't be an issue!" Stacy said.

"Well the way my life is set up I think not!" I said back

Just then I heard gasps all around me, and slowly the lunch room got oddly silent. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder.

Shit, always knew I would be murdered at school.

So me, being who I am I grabbed my knife ( which by the way was a plastic cafeteria knife and as useful in defending yourself as a piece of paper ) and turned around very slowly.

And then I saw something that was probably scarier ( and rarer) than someone coming to the school to kill me.

Shane Mason, who had his lunch tray in his perfectly built arms and was standing behind me smiling.

" Hey Carly, mind if I take a seat?" He said

" I..I..I" I stuttered.

Shane chuckled " you're so cute when you're nervous."

" No I'm not nerv-..I'm not..I'm...words...speaking..sweating" I really should stop trying to talk.

"Why do you have a plastic knife in your hand?" He asked.

Shit.

" I um...killer..I ..you" dammit Carly.

"So can we sit or no?" Shane said with a smirk.

"We?" I said finally finding my voice.

Shane gestured to the rest of his "crew" standing behind him.

Stacy being the best bitch ever found my voice for me.

"Take a seat we don't mind right Carly?" She said.

"R-right we don't. Me don't. She don't. " I said.

Shane just laughed at my stupidity and sat next to me.

"You know Carly you're really funny I guess that just helps the fact that you're pretty dang cute as well." He said cutting his hamburger.

Cute?

Me?

Carly?

"You think I'm cute?" I asked.

Shane gave me the captain obvious face.

" My crew and I are having a party on Saturday. You should come." Shane said.

" I don't know. I don't really know you and-" I started.

" No buts you're coming and just to amp up my offer you'll be my date as well," Shane said.

Stacy helped me again " oh yes she'll totally be there right Carly?"

" uh yes, I guess," I said

"Great!" Shane said. " here's my number I'll text you the details. Don't be shy to text me gorgeous."

And with that, his life and my life would change forever.

And it was only lunch time.
