Immortal beauty

After spending the evening with her she finally decides to leave, allowing me time with my cluttered mind thinking about the one event I’m dreading, THE DANCE.

Chapter 18

How many times can a heart break?

As we enter the school yard, Amy walks straight past us, she approaches Kale immediately.

“Kale can I talk to you for a minute?”

“Ok.”

As she drags him away I can’t help but pry.

“I uh.. I was wondering if maybe you would like to go to the dance with me? I mean I don’t have a partner and I know you don’t have a date either.”

He rubs the back of his neck which I know is usually a sign of nervousness.

“Um, yeah sure, I guess I’ll pick you up then before the dance.”

She lets out a happy shriek as excitement fills her.

“We have so much to discuss like the color of our outfits have to match. And I was waiting for you to actually ask me, but when you didn’t I thought I might as well ask you myself.”

That is all I can listen to, as my heart falls shattering into a million pieces. As the scattered fragments lies there on the floor, I wish I can fall as well, I have tuned out my acute hearing, I will tune out the world if I have to, he doesn’t want me, he surely doesn’t even like me. But I will not let her know that she has won, she doesn’t even have to know that I was interested. She can have him; if he doesn’t want me then there is nothing I can do, I will not shed a single tear over him. How is it possible that every time I convince myself that there is no chance with him, somehow I find myself falling back again?
