Heart

Formal

           

The next morning, I drove Eric home to get dressed, he met me at school.

          When we walked In the school there were cheerleaders hanging up signs that advertised winter formal, the signs stated       "say yes to the dress for winter formal"

          Something cheesy just like every other time we had a dance.

          When Eric saw the signs, he looked at me really crazy.

          I already knew why he was looking at me "oh no, Eric we are not going" I exclaimed.

          "oh, come on why not?" he asked

          "Eric, I'm sure you know by now that I'm not the dressy kind of girl"

          "I'm sure at one point you were, because if you weren't then you wouldn't have all those nice dresses in your closet."

          "No Eric"

          "Oh..." and I cut him off right there

          "No Eric, I do not go to dances"

          He didn't say anything he was now sad and mellow.

          It made me feel bad because I said no so fast.

          "fine, Eric, I'll think about it"

          His whole demeanor changed "really!?"

          I kissed him on the cheek, "yes, really, and don't make me regret it" and I departed from him to go to 1st period.

          I really don't like leaving him alone. With all the slutty girls and two-faced backstabbing ex-friends at this school. And I'm afraid that he'll end up like josh, he says he's not but, you never really know.

          He's so cute and sweet, he is really like every girl's dream guy. I really don't want to lose him but, I must get over this fear. 

          I thought about this the whole period, and the next, and the next.

          One of my last thought before I saw him again was about the dance.

          I want to get the chance to make all the irrelevant females, especially Jennifer, who want Eric even more jealous then they already are.

          When I saw Eric after lunch in 6th period he was waiting for me with a smile on his face like he knew I was about to say yes.

          I sat down next to him and immediately asked "why are you smiling like that?"

          "have you thought about it yet?"

          I smiled "yes, I'll go with you" 

          When I said that his face lit up like a tomato. He grabbed me and kissed me so differently, but I liked it. When he kissed me, Jennifer walked by and said, "get a room you two"

          I rolled my eyes so hard they could have gotten stuck.

          "just ignore her" said Eric.

          I took a deep breath. "You're right, I will. I have better things to think about... like what color my dress is going to be"

          He smiled

          "yes, you do" he said as he kissed me one last time.

          I thought about the dance that whole period and the next. It's weird because at first, I dreaded going now, I'm actually kind of excited.
