Author's Note: Before you start this chapter, let me tell you that it's pretty much pointless. I wanted to take the readers further into Meg's head, before she came to her astonishing conclusion. For you lazy readers out there who don't want to go through all this, there'll be a summary at the end of the chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 7 "All about Meg"
Meg gazed into her vanity mirror, running a brush through her long silky hair.
"Look at yourself," she muttered. "Sitting here, staring vainly at yourself in the mirror." she set the hairbrush down. "You're not all that," she told her reflection. "You're just a girl. A normal girl with money." she sighed. "A girl with money who is deathly lovestruck." she reached out to touch her reflection. C'mon Meg, you could have any guy you want! This is no exception!
"Well I know...but he's not that kind of guy!"
Sure he is. You're just not looking hard enough.
"Well, if I'm gonna have him, then I'm gonna have him the right way."
You know that doesn't work.
Meg sighed again and stood up, her satin nightgown swishing against her legs. She refused to believe that this was the kind of guy that would fall head-over-heels for a pretty girl with a fat purse. She walked to her closet.
I've got to stop thinking about this, she thought, sorting through her clothes. She came across an article that caught her eye. Wrapped in plastic, was a formal dress from her senior prom. She carefully pulled it out of the closet. It was black, covered in purple lace, with a slit in the back clear up to the thigh. It looked like it might still fit.
Ten minutes later, Meg stood in front of her vanity mirror in the dress. It fit, albeit a little more snug than before, but it fit none the less. It looked nice, too. She turned to the side.
"Wow Meg, you've put on quite a few pounds," she muttered to herself. "you need to lay off the ice cream a tad bit!" she brushed the wrinkles out of the front. Still, with her glasses on, it gave her more of a nerdy-cute look than a breathtakingly-beautiful look. "But hey, isn't that why I'm falling for Spongebob?"
She slowly covered her mouth. "Did I just say that out loud?" she asked Carly from behind her hand. Carly snored in response (she was sleeping). Realization dawned on her. "I've got to go with him to that dance!"
--------------------
Pretty corny, right? Well anyway if you didn't read it the summary was that Meg tried on her prom dress, decided she needed to loose some weight, and came to realize the fact that she was desperately in love with her yellow neighbor (Spongebob). Read on to find out what happens!
