Chapter Thirty Two


"She's really mad at you."
"Yeah. I screwed up royally last year."
"What happened exactly? I mean, I got a quick five second run through, about why, but how?"
"Well, before we got hooked up, she had this hot date that had to cancel one day before the party. I didn't have a date yet, so they put us together. She came with me, but she went boy hopping. The thing that made me so mad was that I've had a crush on Love since we were about eight or nine. She never payed any attention to me. So when I found out that she was goint to be my date, I was so happy I thought I'd die. But the minute we got through the door, she left me and hung out and danced with everyone else except me. I even cought her kissing and making out with another boy. I remember that. He was feeling her all over while she stood there and let him do that. When I walked in, he was on his knees holding on to her by her hips. His face two inches from her body. I threatened to tell her parents, but she agreed to stay with me the rest of the time, which was about half an hour. For the awards, of course. We won best dressed couple. I couldn't kiss her because she was never there."
"Oh. Do you still like her?"
"Yeah. She gets better every year." Taylor searched the crowd and spotted me at the refreshment stand eating chocolate and talking to a cute guy. The turned his attention back to Corey. Five minutes later, Mr. Robertson came up in front of the crowd and called for our attention. Taylor got up and left Corey, talking non-stop about how ugly the boys are here, and made his way over to me.
"Hi Love." I turned around.
"Taylor! Hi! So. Did you have a nice chat with Mr. Dates ditch him?"
"Yeah. He filled in the details for why you're so mad at him. He told me the story."
"He did?"
"Yeah. It's pretty interesting."
"Uh-hu. Whatever." We turned towards Mr. Robertson, who had called Corey up to help with the awards.
"This year, we broke the two contests, so that instead of having one winner of each, there will be two winners of each. Since there are plenty of seventeen and under people here, the catergories of each event will have one trophy for eighteen and older, and one trophy for seventeen and under. The first catergory is best dressed couple, seventeen and under. Corey, the envelope please." Corey handed over the first envelope. Taylor and I looked at eachother and crossed our fingers.
