A Month Later

The bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. I walked to my locker, Kasey and Angela behind me, talking about tonights Homecoming Dance.

"So what color is your dress?" Kasey asked Angela.

"It's red, leather, short and tight," Angela told her "What color is your dress?"

"It's black, lacy, short and tight."

"Girl you are so getting laid tonight!"

"So are you!"

I rolled my eyes, shoving my Physics book into my locker. "What color is your dress Rowan?" Angela asked me.

"I'm not going" I replied.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to go."

"But Rowan Derek asked you to go!" Kasey said "You can't pass that opportunity up! He is the hottest guy in school!"

"Yes I can," I told her "His head is full of rocks, he's an egotistical jerk, he's disrespectful and the only reason he asked me to go with him is so he could slip me something in my drink that would get me to have sex with him because he knows I would never willing have sex with him so on Monday he can brag that he nailed yet another virgin."

"He wouldn't do that," said Angela "And even if he did it, I hate to say it Rowan, but Derek may be your only chance to ever get laid."

"Yeah," chimed in Kasey "You've never even kissed a guy let alone hold hands with one! You've never been on a date or invited to a party or asked out by someone!"

For a second Randy's face flashed through my mind, but I pushed him out of my mind. I slammed my locker shut and said sarcastically "Gee it's nice to know that my two best friends think I'm a hideous monster who no one would ever want."

"Not hideous or monstrous," said Kasey "Just frumpy, boring and lacking sex appeal. If you wore those clothes that Angela and I got you for your birthday and wore more make-up, you'd get a date in no time. Guys would lining up for a chance with you."

"Yeah because being a slut is the way to find someone who wants to be with you for your personality and not your body."

With that said I stormed away from them and out of the school. I got on the bus, tears of frustration, anger and loneliness forming in my eyes.

It's moments like these where I hate my life and wish it would change.

Just then I heard a motorcycle and looked out my window to see Randy parking. He took off his helmet and noticed me on the bus. He blinked, then smirked before winking at me. A tear fell from my eye and I saw his eyes widen. I quickly turned away, wiping at the other tears that were threatening to fall.

I really hate my life right now, but I know it will never change.

This is the way things are always going to be...

With friends like Kasey and Angela, you don't need enemies!

Poor Rowan :(

And don't you just love how Randy appears out of nowhere?

Coincidence?

Or a sign of things to come?

Review and let me know!
