Perfect
Song: Who Says by Selena Gomez
(A/N: Just trust me on the song, please.)
Nudge
I hugged my knees to my chest, tears streaming down my cheeks. I got up from my bed and stared at my reflection in the mirror. Makeup was running down my face, and my hair was frizzy and matted. He had...broken up with me almost a month ago, but it still stung.
"Listen, Monique, we've got to talk." Ash said, his dark blue eyes shimmering and bright.
"You're great and all, but you're just not...ah...pretty enough. I have a reptutation to uphold with the team, and Reese fits everything...and that's something that I gotta do, you know? Are you okay?" he asked.I nodded, though I wasn't. He patted me on the knee and left, no doubt to meet with a ready, eager Reese Thresheld.
I yanked on my hair until it was smooth, and wiped my smeared my makeup off, applying shimmery, pink eyeshadow along with a short, light pink sequined minidress. I walked out, sucking it up. I'd show him. Drew met me at the door. He was tall and had ice blue eyes. He took my arm linked in his.
"Ready to go, my Monique?" he asked. I smiled. Ash only called me Nudge. Drew hopped in his Ferrari, opening my door for me first. I slipped in, feeling the delicious cool of the leather seats. I fidgited with my dress, unsure about myself. Drew looked over.
"Monique, what are you thinking?" he inquired. I laughed; since we had met a month ago at the Flock get together at the park, I had been doing alot of laughing.
"Oh, nothing. Do you think that Ash'll care if I show up?" I said, dabbing at my lip gloss. Drew slowed the car and turned me towards him.
"You'll show him. You're more stunning than anything that Reese could spin up." he assured me. I smiled. Drew parked in the parking lot of the country club, holding my hand as we walked into the party. Reese was standing sickeningly close to Ash, her slender arm snaked around his much larger one. She was wearing tall, skinny black heels and a plain blue dress with a silver belt. She looked over to me. I grinned and waved politely, very aware of Ash's shocked face. I gazed into the eyes of my date, my Drew and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you, Drew. For being mine." I whispered into his ear. He leaned over closer to me.
"And thank you, Nudge, for being perfect."
