My best friend runs to me in the middle of the hallway. "Please come to the school dance, Anna come on I need someone to go with josh's cousin!" yells Reagan. "Reagan I don't wanna go to the school dance with you and your stupid boyfriend and his cousin. I don't even know this kids name and you want me to go to the dance with him? I don't even like dances, or people." I say back. "His name is Caleb, hes super cute. Come on I already bought you a ticket, I would do it for you." She cries. "Fine, i'll go happy?" I yell. Reagan just hugs me and runs away.
The week pasts by fastly and then I find myself at reagans house sitting on the floor while she does my hair. I never get why I agree to do things with reagan, why would I go to the school on the weekend? It's one of the two days I don't have to be there so why would I go? Reagan gose on and on about her stupid boyfriend and his dreamy face, short blond hair and what she calls "The perfect baby blue eyes". Reagan dresses me up in a little skirt and cute top, she does my makeup and then my nails. Gives me a pair of earings and a neckless. As she gets herself ready she lectures me on how I must be nice to josh's cousin because he just moved into town and already doesn't want to live here. But how do I make someone want to live here when I don't even want to.
Next thing I know im in the car with Reagan and shes driving us to the dance. My hair smells like hair spray and the heels i'm wearing hurt my feet. I hate dressing up, I hate people, I hate boys. Why am I doing this. It takes us 20 mintues to get there, we get out of the car and walk into the school. Everyone else is with there dates, dancing or sitting at tables. Me and Reagan go sit down, we wait for her "Amazing boyfriend" to walk through the doors with this "Super cute cousin". "I'm going to the bathroom" I say and walk out of the school gym.
I go into a bathroom stoll and sit on the toilet seat, I hate going places with Reagan. She's so pretty and all the boys like her and all the girls are jeloues of her. Thats why she's my friend, because I don't care how many boys talk to her. She trys to get me to dress like her and hook me up with cute boy. I pull a pack of smokes out of my pocket, and light one up. Reagan doesn't smoke, just gose to the gym to workout and eats heath bars and always makes sure her bodys perfect. I hear footsteps and flush the rest of the smoke down the toilet. I exit the bathroom pretending I just went to the bathroom.
I walk back into the gym to find josh and Reagan sitting at the table. I didn't see anyone else with them. I walk to the punch bowl and watch everyone else dance. "So are you on watching to punch bowl so I don't spike it?" says a voice. I turn and look over to find the most dangours looking boy ive ever seen. He has his lip and eye brow periced, tattoo sleeved up his left arm, pitch black long hair and the lighest blue eyes in the world, even more perfect then joshs. "No go crazy" I answer. He pulls out a water bottle and pours whatever was inside into the bowl. "Can I get you some punch or will your boyfriend kill me?" He asks. " Oh i'm here alone, punch sounds good." I say. He hands me a plastic cup with a perfecly innocent drink he has contaminated. "Whats a pretty girl like you sitting here alone?" He asks. " I'm being hooked up with my friends boyfriends cousin, but I don't think hes showing up"
He takes the punch from me and puts it on the table, grabs my hand and take me to the middle of the gym. He puts his hands above my waist and starts swaying his feet. I put my hands on his shoulders and follow along. "You look rather confused, you lost or something?" he asks. "Why are we dancing?" I ask. "Well I came here to dance with a beautiful girl, so I counted how many girls needed a date and there was well one, and thats you." "So if there was a prettier girl you shoulda danced with her?". "Well know, I mean I had to get you away from the punch bowl". I just laugh, the first time all night ive had the slightest bit of fun.
Reagan runs up to me, "Anna we gotta go!" She yells. The dreamy boy grabs me by the waist and hug me from the back "So your names anna?" He sings. "Mines Caleb". My heart stops, this is the boy I was being set up with? I wonder if he knew this hole time. "Yes hi caleb, i'm going to have to take Anna home" Reagan says while grabbing my wrist. "No, i'll take her home" Caleb yells, holding me tighter. Josh walks over and kisses Reagans cheek, "Babe we will bring you ladies home, they can take my truck we will take your car" Josh says. Without my opinion Reagans out the gym doors and i'm lefted behind with Caleb.
Caleb walks me to joshs truck, we both get in. He turns on the radio and starts to drive. We drive in slients till he pulls out a smoke. "Want one?" He asks, I take one out of his pack and he lights it. When we pull up in the drive way of Reagans house he kisses my forehead. "Goodnight beautiful" He says. As I open the door to leave he grabbed my arm "Wait" He says. "What ?" I ask. "Do I get a second date?" He asks. I pull out a marker and rwrite my number on his arm. "Maybe" I say while shutting the car door,
