At Aimee's school, there was this thing each year called The Christmas Banquet. It was blown waaaaaay out of perspective and was therefore very important to her. As she was walking home one day thinking, she happened to pass a group of guys. Now this wasn't just any group of guys....This was THE GROUP OF GUYS! They walked home from school everyday on the same street that Aimee lived on. Mostly they ignored her. It was a group of about five guys who were al in her tenth grade class. One of the guys' names was Zak. He had amazing brown hair that he kept slightly longer than most and which had a slight curl. Not only that but he had some nice abs! He was pretty hot and he knew it. Oh, he knew it! Another one of the guys was Morgan. He was about 6'4'' and over a head taller than Aimee. She was only 5'5'' and weighed about 115 pounds. She tried very hard to keep her weight down, but oh man did she love junk food! Some people accused her of being anorexic, but being in sports, she knew the importance of a physically fit body. She did not think of herself as pretty. In her opinion, she had waaaaay to white of skin, a horrible amount of freckles, and worst of all – zits! She couldn't stand looking in the mirror each morning. To other people however, she was gorgeous. Morgan had been overheard to say "Man, have you seen Aimee? She is so hot!" Of course, only Morgan's little group of friends knew this...in the high school world, this was sacred knowledge!!
Anyways, as she was walking home, carrying her red umbrella, the guys stopped her. "Hey", said Zak, "What's up? I've seen you walking home by yourself and was wondering if I could walk with you. By the way, sweet umbrella!" Flustered, Aimee said sure. "I'm not sure if this is ok for your reputation though. I mean, someone might see us!" She was thinking of his friends. She couldn't understand why he was talking to her. "Oh it's ok. The only people who would see us are my friends. They already know who I like!" Aimee's heart did some weird acrobatic thing. Did he mean her?!?!? She was filled with regret when they came to her house. It had been way to short of a walk! "See ya tomorrow gorgeous!" He yelled and dashed off in the rain. Aimee was stunned, he had called her gorgeous!
