Mako's Message: So...yeah. This chapter...happened. And it amuses me. And if you don't like this one I really don't care because I think it's hilarious and I actually had to tone it back a bit in places. But if you do like it, thanks in advance.
And yes, this was necessary if you can't tell.
It's kinda nice when things work out for you. Here I was trying to figure out what I was going to do for a date to homecoming without resorting to Dillon, when he comes up and asks me himself. But no, I didn't take advantage of him, he started off by saying, "I know you don't want to date me, and I know you don't want me to think you want to date me so please don't get mad, but will you take me to Homecoming?"
So, I was like, "Wait, what? Seriously?"
And he started talking about how he's always getting picked on and teased for being short(Which I never really noticed since he's a bit taller than me, but then I remembered he's a year older than me and I'm short for my age anyway.) and how going to Homecoming would make him seem so much cooler even if it was with a girl who should be a hear behind him. He cringed when he said that, like I was going to hit him. But then, he doesn't even realize how awesome I really am. If he thinks going to Homecoming will make him cool, imagine how impressed he'd be knowing he was asking Hit Girl. His classmates would probably fall down and worship him.
Yeah, not joking.
That's something I missed hearing about since I'm in high school now...and am practically a social outcast. Apparently I've become quite popular with middle-school boys. In costume at least. Might be nice if I actually gave a shit. ...actually no it'd just be frustrating because I couldn't tell people who I was to make use of my fame. Guess it's a good thing then that all the boys my age are fucking idiots.
Except Dillon. He's nice.
Doesn't help that the guy I want can't seem to look at me the way I want him too. We wouldn't even have to be a couple as Dave and Mindy. As long as he didn't date anyone else I wouldn't mind if we had to sneak around. We do it all the time anyway. We'd just be adding sex. And how could he possibly object to that! It'd be like objecting to extra hot fudge on your sundae.
Oh yeah. Riley.
Why'd he have to turn into a stud? If he was still just a geek and invisible to girls it'd be so much easier.
Anyway, Dillon asked me if I could take him to the dance, and of course I agreed because if I went by myself that'd just make me look pathetic and I don't want Dave's pity, I want him drooling over me. Like in those old Loony Toon cartoons.
So, I have a date, now I just need a dress...
That's going to be all kinds of hell isn't it?
