"What are you trying to do?"
Christine studied John carefully. Now that she managed to remove John's glasses (Yes! He protested but Christine didn't care), he looked so much better. Well...
"Stop! Why did you take away my glasses? I am sure I look stupid now..." John blurted out and moved away from Christine.
Christine just kept staring at John, looking dazed. John looked perfect now. She was sure no one will be able to recognize him as John (-A.K.A. the Nerd-) now. The makeover was a total success. It's even better than she had expected. So much better that she still continued to stare at John, speechless.
"Are you okay? Do I look that bad?" John frowned and studied the ground. He was sure that he looked terrible. Why did he even agree to this in the first place? Did he really thought that he could turn from an ugly duckling into a swan. He was truly an idiot.
"No! It's just that..." Christine tried to find a word to describe John's looks now. "Just that... You... You looked simply too
amazing!" Christine felt herself burning up. Who knew that John could make a girl nervous too?
"Serious?" John asked doubtfully. He walked to one of the mirrors in the store and squinted at his own reflection.
"No way!!!" John exclaimed. "Is this really me? Me?" He continued to study the mirror. All he could see was this incredibly handsome and unfamiliar teenage boy staring back at him. John blinked in disbelief, still shocked. Christine just smiled and smiled. Nicole will definitely fall in love with him! Christine felt a sense of accomplishment and joy. Tim will be hers now. Forever. Without Nicole, Tim will definitely choose her. She's the obvious choice. Christine smirked and nodded with pride and agreement at John. Now, for the next step...
Wait. She need to find more shirts for John. She's going to make sure that John will be looking as striking as he is right now everyday. A brand new John, starting today!
On the other hand, sparks were flying with Nicole and Tim. Things were getting hot.
"What are you doing? Let go!" Nicole struggled to stop Tim and tried to remove the hand gripping hers. TIm stared back at Nicole, his face was still red with fury and slight embarrassment. He couldn't believe what he had just done.
He really hated Dave even though he's like his closest friend. How could he? Tim thought Dave was his friend. Isn't it obvious to Dave that he really does like Nicole? Yet, Dave actually attempted to kiss Nicole. Right in front of him? Sometimes, he really felt like strangling that guy. Urgh.
Tim looked up to see Nicole's expressions. There was an awkward silence in the air as their eyes met each others. It was a really romantic moment, like those you would usually see in movies and drama series. Nicole's heart was beating faster and faster every second as she continue to stare into Tim's deep soulful eyes. She could feel herself blushing and she kept wondering if Tim might have loved her after all...
Until Tim turned away... Her hope were crushed. Little did she know that his face was even redder than hers and his mind was filled with dirty things. (Ahem. No, you shouldn't know what they were. It's too...)
"So, what now?" Tim asked ever-so-casually. As though nothing happen. As though Nicole was the one who had dragged him out suddenly. Nicole couldn't believe him.
"What's wrong with him? Why did he act so casual? Like nothing important at all happened. He was the one who forced me and dragged me out! I haven't even finished my ice-cream though it wasn't really expensive but that's not the point. Anyway, so what if I kiss Dave? I deserve the right to kiss any people I want without being stop by a moron! It's my choice, not his. And why did he even care? Why?" Nicole clutched her fists tightly as she felt the hot burning tears threatening to fall. No. She's not going to cry in front of him. She had to save the last drop of her pride and crying in front of him suddenly will not amaze him. No, she can do this.
"Hey. What's wrong?" Tim frowned, his voice gentle with worry. "Um. I am sorry?"
That's it, Nicole thought. She couldn't hold it any longer. There's a limit and he totally stepped over it.
"
Sorry? For what? You mean you didn't really mean to stop the kiss? Sorry for making me think that you actually even cared about me? Sorry? That's all you can give? How can I be so dumb and so blind? To fall for you and even thought that we may have a chance. Even until now?" Nicole sniffed, pausing to breathe. "I can't believe me. Myself! I am stupid. That's what you thought of me too, right? I am just a normal ugly stupid girl who's dumb enough to ever love you! Why... Why is love... so
hard? I... I really don't know! Please..."
