The Moustache Girl by clickomath

Socially-awkward Abby Waters is enjoying her summer holidays with her diaper buddy, Lindsay. But what started with just an ordinary game of Truth and Dare, turned out to be an extremely embarrassing encounter with Mr.HotBlueEyes, as she calls him. What's worse, he thought she was a guy. And she thought it couldn't get any worse. - - - - - - With an awkward cough, I was snapped out of my trance and I saw the guy holding me getting extremely uncomfortable. "Dude, you okay?" The nameless hottie asked. Oh shit, he thinks I'm a guy. I hate you fate. He let go of me and I stood awkwardly thinking of what to say. "Yeah. Thanks, uh, dude." I gave him a small smile and walked off towards Lindsay who now had tears in her eyes from laughing. - - - - - - (honestly, you could find something better to read than this poorly written, loop-holed book written by a thirteen year old me; the only reason i haven't taken it down is that i don't have the heart to do so - even then, please know i appreciate all of your comments, thank you so so much!)
