It was Valentines Day, all my girls had a guy. Claire had Cam, Kristin had Griffin, Alicia had Josh, and Dylan had Chris AND Kemp. Then there was me. Now 14. Wow has the years changed. Last year I had all 6 guys at my doorstep Cam, Griffin, Josh, Chris, Kemp, Derrick, and more. Asking if they could take ME to a movie or out to dinner, but it changed this year. The one guy I had feeling for dumped me the day before Christmas. Stupid Derrick. All I wanted for Valentines Day was for someone to really want me, love me. Of course he broke my heart, all for stupid Skye. Even though she dumped him on New Years…My thoughts were interrupter by my cell phone ringing. Urghhh. Its Claire she probably wants to brag about the date she is about to go on with Cam. I hit ignore and went back to my thoughts, only to be interrupted again, but this time it was a text from Alicia. Asking me to come over to her house. I get dressed. I slip on my light wash jeans from Hollister. Ha its like the only thing I own from there. I slip on my tall brown uggs and a red long-sleeve t-shirt from Nordstrom's. I leave my hair the way it is and run out the door. Isaac drives me over to Alicia's. I help her pick out her outfit for her date with Josh. We finally chose a red mini dress from Betsy Johnson and black 4 inch heels. She looked stunning.
"Hey Mass, will you come and be like…what do you call it…well if my date goes really bad will you be there to like bail me out?" Alicia looked at Massie with pleading eyes. How could I say no.
"Sure. It's not like I have anything better to do?" Alicia smiled to her self. I wonder what she is up to. Her driver Dean drove us to the soccer fields. "What are we doing here?" I asked.
"Um. I'm supposed to meet Josh here will you get him. I don't want him to see me, till dinner."
"Uhh. Sure" I get out of the car. This day couldn't get any better. I hate Valentines Day! When I got to the field, there were all these pink and red balloons and all this Valentines Day stuff. It made me sick. I texted Alicia telling her there was a surprise for her on the field. I got no response. "Josh…Are you out here? It's Massie. Alicia won't come out of the car." I looked over my shoulder thinking a heard someone. It was a squirrel…Just my luck. When I turned around a blond shaggy haired boy was on one knee holding two tiffany's boxes in front of me. My heart skipped a beat. Derrick Harrington.
"Massie, I'm sooooo sorry! Will you take me back?" I looked deep down into his brown puppy dog eyes. There was something there. Regret, pain, love, and wanting. He wanted me, Me Massie Block. "I was so stupid for dumping you at Christmas. You are the girl for me!" That last sentence "You are the girl for me!" melted my heart. I jumped on him and gave him a big hug. That night I had the best kiss of my life. I guess Valentines Day isn't that bad.
