WEDNESDAY, FEB. 12th

I stretched my arms over my head and smiled, recalling the events of last night. I gave a joyful sigh and gave my attention to Romance Central. On top of the table cloth, but underneath everything else, was a huge black lace square. It brought the whole look together. Especially with the addition of a huge origami heart and another rose, totaling ten roses.

I got ready for school, but I was shocked to find only Danny waiting for me at the corner. He was fiddling with a thick strip of paper, and he seemed nervous for some reason. Ugh. Boys.

"Morning, Danny!" I greeted. "What's going on? Where's Tucker?"

"Oh," Danny's posture became less tense. "Well, Tucker walked to school with Valerie this morning so he could ask her out for Valentine's Day. And well...I got you this." He stuck the paper out to me, blushed, and looked at his sneakers.

"What is it-" I started as I read the paper. "A spa coupon?"

"Yeah, well, I thought...that since...you know...you're a girl that you like, you know, girl stuff... Please don't hit me!" He quickly covered his hands with his face.

"And this," I paused to wave the coupon around. "Is for Valentine's Day?"

"Well, yeah," he shrugged. "Please don't hit me!" I just rolled my eyes.

"I think it's sweet. I'll use it tomorrow after school," I grinned and kissed him on the cheek. He blushed and looked after me as I walked ahead. "Come on, lover boy. We're gonna be late to homeroom."

When I finally opened my locker, a skirt came out. It was black with silver sparkles. There were three ruffly layers with an elastic waistband. It was actually pretty cute.

"You know what this would go great with?!" I realized.

"No?" Danny tried.

"The other clothes I got! It makes sense now! Gosh! All I need are some earrings, and it'll be, like, the best outfit EVER," I beamed down at the skirt.

"That's awesome!" Danny cheered.

"And you really don't care," I dead panned.

"No, not really," he shook his head. I smiled.

"Oh well! Let's get to class then!"

It slowly became the end of the day. My lace tank top, Dumpty Humpty t-shirt, and black skirt hung together on one of my dresser handles near Romance Central. I had moved the black choker and spider barrettes nearer to the outfit. It actually all went together really well!

And now it was time for me to go to sleep, and I was very excited to get up again. Very.
