Dear Friend,
That Spike guy, he ended up being a real jerk. He would say all the inappropriate things and he thought it was okay to make me look like a fool at his juice party. I walked home crying that night, not only was I humiliated by having Spike drench me in juice thinking it was funny, I actually believed that Spike could change. I was just one of those stupid girls who chose the jock over the geek.
Maybe it wasn't too late, maybe Ted would give me another chance.
But he hung up on me...
That was okay, I'd probably hang up on me too.
I waited a few days before trying to invite him over.
He actually came! But he had some choice words for me...
"What? Did prince charming not work out?" He snapped.
"I'm sorry! I should have given you a-"
"What a chance? I'm used to this, used to girls looking past me because I'm a geek!" He said.
I looked at the ground ashamed of myself.
I was able to get him calm enough to talk to me, and he finally accepted my apology.
The next thing shocked me, and I told him he didn't have to do it, but he wanted me to give him a makeover.
"You don't have to change for me." I told him.
"I would do anything for you." He said.
I blushed.
So, I gave him a makeover. He had a say in how he looked too, so I felt better about him changing. I just didn't want him to feel like I was forcing him to change.
In the next couple of days we went on several dates to get to know each other.
On the fifth date, he saved my life.
"Hi." I said walking out in the street.
"Hey." He said.
He grabbed my hands and swung them back and forth.
"Are you cold? We could go inside?" I said.
"No, I'm fine." He said.
"Okay." I said.
The next thing I knew Ted screamed, "WATCH OUT!"
He grabbed me roughly in his arms and picked me up backing up.
A guy on a bike zoomed passed us, he wasn't even going to stop!
My heart was racing and I was a little shook up.
"Are you alright?" He asked setting me down.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine. Thank you." I whispered.
"Anytime." He said.
"You saved my life." I said.
He blushed.
I decided to take a leap.
"Thank you." I said leaning in.
I pulled away and he looked shocked.
"Uh, um, you're welcome." He said.
I giggled.
"That was nice." He said.
"It was." I smiled.
"I want to do it again." He said, this time pulling me in.
I laughed pulling apart, "You like kissing don't you?"
"I do." He said laughing with me.
"My mom is never going to believe this." I said.
"So, send her a picture." He said.
"She's going to freak out." I said.
"I can't wait to meet her, and your family." He said.
"There is a lot of them." I told him.
"This isn't moving to fast for you, is it?" He asked.
"What? Of course not!" I said.
"You'll let me know if it is?" He asked.
"Promise." I said.
We hugged and said good night, we both had early classes in the morning.
I didn't get out of my classes until late the next night. We only had four more days until finals which made me a little sad.
"Did your classes go okay?" Ted asked.
"Yeah, you?" I asked.
"They went slowly, I was anxious to see you again." He said.
I laughed, "That was cheesy."
"I don't care." He said.
"So, uh, I have been thinking." I said.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"We've been getting to know each other and going on dates for the past couple weeks and I thought that maybe it's time we-"
"Become girlfriend and boyfriend?" He finished for me.
"Yeah." I said.
"I would love to be your boyfriend." He said.
So, here he was. My boyfriend, cute huh?
I was stupid before, to think that Spike would be the right guy for me. Here Ted was, willing to change his appearance for me even though I loved him for who he was and not how he looked. He loved me for me, and I was stupid and shallow for not seeing how great he was the first time we met in the park.
You want to know a secret? I think I want to spend the rest of my life with him. But shhh!!! Don't tell anyone okay?
Love always,
Grace
The geek wins after all! Hopefully they will get their happy ever after! What do you think?
