Won't You Be My Valentine?

Roses are red

Love is dead,

And so are you - Anonymous

On the night of the Valentine's Day dance in the sixth grade, a geeky looking boy called Jeremy Melton went over to a group of popular girls. He pushed his glasses up his nose and tried to get over the fear to ask one of them to dance. His eyes fell on Delilah. She was the naughty one, her twin sister, Paige being the sexy one, Kate the pretty one, Lily the fun one and Shelly the smart one. She looked stunning in a black dress and her mother's diamond earrings with her brown hair, tanned skin and blue eyes. She danced in sexy movements while talking to her friends. Jeremy took a deep breath and moved closer then hesitated. He was so scared of her but the fear intoxicated him. Like the smell of her perfume and the smell of shampoo in her hair. Jeremy raised a trembling hand to tap her on the shoulder and managed not to back out of it. Her hair flicked his face like a whip as she whirled around. Around Jeremy everything moved in slow motion as he focused on nothing but Delilah.

'Delilah you wanna dance?' His voice seemed to echo. Delilah put her hand on his chest with an innocent expression and sexy grin on her face. Jeremy felt his heart pounding and his body tense. His body began to sweat under the touch of her hand. Delilah moved up against him, her enticing lips so close to his, he longed so badly to taste them.

'Well...' She said, rolling the word with her tongue. Her eyes darted back to look back at her friends. Then she shoved him. As he fell the world came back to normal pace. He hit the floor hard and the impact knocked his glasses off. 'Your not my type.' The words echoed with the laughter of the five girls coming after them. Jeremy felt his face burning as his nose began to bleed...
