I'm so stupid!
How could I think he could like me!
I didn't have a chance with him!
I was the tall, awkward, pudgy fifteen year old.
Ella was the petite, small, graceful sixteen year old!
She was a year below him, I was three years below him!
I hate being fat!
People say I'm not fat, they say I'm just a little busty.
I don't have a stomach, I have a bottomless pit.
I'm fat.
Hi, I'm Nudge.
I the chatterbox of the flock.
But I really don't care what anyone thinks of me, except him.
Him, as in Iggy.
I know what you're thinking. Nudge! No way! Your to young! Besides, that would be practically illegal!
I actually thought I had a chance with him, because he actually listened to me Instead of toning me out.
I remember when I was younger, I was very insecure about my weight.
He told me, to him I looked amazing.
I knew he was kidding, I mean, he's blind!
But a girl can hope.
I hit a downfall when he started hanging out with Ella and her friends, and I gave up this morning when he wanted to talk to Ella alone.
See, they were having a dance at Ella's school and invited the whole flock.
I thought Iggy was going to ask Ella to the dance.
Well, then they walked back into the room.
"Nudge?" Iggy asked.
I didn't want to, but I got up and went to stand by him.
"Yeah?"
"Can I talk to you alone?"
"Sure."
We walked outside, and he said. "I was, um, wondering if I could take advice from you?"
"Sure."
"Well, I like this girl, and I was wondering what I should do. I was thinking about kissing her, what do you think?"
"Um, why are you asking me? Aside from that, you should kiss her, but not in front of anyone, because you could make someone jealous." Translation: I don't want to hear about your undying love for Ella! But you should kiss her, just not in front of anyone, or I might start crying.
Right then, he did the most unexpected thing.
He kissed me!
I put my arms around his neck, and he put his around my waist, and he slid his tongue across my bottom lip, asking me for entrance.
I parted my lips, and Max walked outside.
She gasped. "Oh my god! I can't believe you two!"
We parted rather quickly, and I giggled.
She walked off, probably to tell the others, and Iggy said, "I love you, Nudge."
I replied, "I love you too, Iggy."
