Chapter 8: The Formal Part 2

"Zack........I don't feel.........." Katie's eye's rolled back and she collapsed onto the linoleum floor. Zack's face went white. His mind went blank, all he could do was stare at the girl that had just dropped to the ground.

"Marta!" Zack knew Marta was one of Katie's best friends. Marta's stick-straight, blonde hair brushed against her crimson, spaghetti-strap, gown, as she walked towards Zack.

"Hey Zack! What's........" Marta's jaw dropped, she now saw why Zack had called her over. "Oh my GOD! What do we do?!!"

"I don't know! I thought you would know!!" Zack screamed. Freddy ran over to Marta and Zack.

"What happened?" Freddy looked as if he had tears in his eyes.

"I was dancing with Katie here, and she just collapsed. Out of no where." Zack said slowly

"Oh crap." Marta said quickly, rolling her eyes. She realized what had happened. "Summer! Come over here, NOW!!" Marta was getting frantic

"What? What is it, Mar?" Marta pointed towards Katie

"GOD! Does anyone know if she had anything to eat today?" the group of friends all shook their heads. "Zack, go get the nurse. Freddy, Marta, you guys stay here with Katie. I'll go get Dewey." Summer ran off to find Dewey.

"Marta, do you think she'll wake up?" Freddy said anxiously

"Well, duh, she'll wake up." Marta told Freddy, she only half believed herself.

"Okay." Freddy was shaking. Then, Marta saw a drop of water fall onto the floor.

"Are you okay Freddy?" Marta turned towards the boy with the tear- stained, rosy, cheeks.

"Yeah. I'm fine." Freddy looked down

"Then why are you crying, Jones?" Marta tilted her head to the left

"Can you keep a secret Blondie?" Freddy asked sincerely

"Yeah, of course." Marta put her hand on Freddy's shoulder

"Well, Katie thinks that we're just here as friends, but I didn't.....I didn't....I wanted to go as MORE than friends." Freddy put his hand on his forehead. "I really like her Marta, but she's so "in love" with Zack......."

"Freddy, does she know that you like her?" Marta said with a sigh.

"No, she doesn't know I like her. That would make her feel all weird around me." Freddy said in disgust

"Oh, so you figure that she'll just find on her own. She can't read your mind! Freddy you have to tell her, otherwise you'll just be wasting your time moping around your house. That's not good for anyone." Marta smiled. Suddenly, Nurse Baird and Zack came running in.

.......................................................................................

Katie opened her eyes. What just happened? She had just been dancing with Zack, then what happened? Why were all of these people crowded around her? Dewey, Marta, Summer, the school nurse, Zack, and Freddy. Were those tears rolling down Freddy's cheeks?

"Posh, are you okay?" Dewey asked worriedly

"Yeah, I think so. What happened? All I remember is dancing with Zack, seeing some black dots, and then everything went black." Katie rubbed head

"You fainted Katie. Do you know WHY you fainted?" Summer said angrily

"No....." Katie said slowly

"Because you didn't eat, like Marta and I told you to! That's why! Why didn't you listen to us? You could have really hurt yourself!" Summer clenched her fists and walked to the souvenir booth.

"What's her problem?" Katie sat up and crossed her arms

"Kate, you just fainted. Your asking what's HER problem? HER problem is that she's worried about you Katie! God, Katie all your doing is hurting yourself! Why can't you see that?" Marta looked away

"Wait, what's going on?" Zack's had a very confused look on his face

"I-I umm....Marta?" Katie looked up at her friend

"This is your problem, sweetie. You can tell them." Marta was now the one to walk away.

"I.....haven't exactly been keeping up a regular diet......" Katie looked down. This was so hard. "I'm fat, everyone hates me.....I'm ugly......" Katie started to cry

"What the.....Katie you're beautiful, and no one hates you." Freddy looked Katie dead in the eye. Was he worried about her too? "Katie, I think....I think....you're stunning. You're the most attractive girl I know. How can you starve yourself because of a lie? A lie that you made up. Katie, I like you a lot, too much to see you hurt yourself." Freddy inhaled deeply. Katie was confused, had Freddy just told her that he liked her?

"Did you just say that you like me?" Katie asked

"Yeah, I guess. Who couldn't like you? Your perfect. " Freddy looked down. Freddy thought she was perfect. Although she wasn't, in his eyes she was. That was the sweetest thing a guy had ever said to her.

"Wow. No guy has ever liked me. That's so sweet." Katie stood up and kissed Freddy on the cheek. He blushed like crazy, and a cute ear-to-ear grin fell upon his face. He was adorable, but what about Zack? She had thought she liked him. Katie looked at Zack, and she felt......nothing. A simple friendship, but nothing more. She looked at Freddy and felt things she had never felt before. A feeling of joy and self-worth. A feeling of pure giddiness. She loved that feeling.

"Freddy, once I get some food, do you want to dance?" Katie smiled at him

"I would love to." Freddy took Katie by the hand and walked towards the refreshments table. He thought she was perfect, and for once in her life, she thought she was pretty good too.
