Of All Girls, Why Did He Come To Me?

I Think I'm in Lv

I wonder, who did I remind Allen with? Why didn’t I just ask? He reminds me of someone I knew when I was a kid. His name was Sam. I know him since I was born till I got 10 years old. We used to spend all day together. Play, laugh, chase each other. I was eight years old when he told me that he wants us to stay together and forever and get married, I said yes without hesitation. Thinking about it now, I was so stupid, but hey, I was eight years old, besides, I think we would have been together now if he did not move a year after. He went living in another county in Europe because his father found a job there, I think it was Germany or France, I do not really remember. Allen’s eyes remind me with Sam, they both have green eyes. Could Allen be….No, no that’s stupid. Allen is Allen and Sam is Sam, they’re not the same person.
        I can’t wait to for tomorrow’s date. But, I don’t want to look like this. The thing is, I have never actually cared about what I look like, never even put on makeup. I need someone to help me with that…and I think I know just the right girl. I called Sarah and told her about everything. Ten minutes after, the doorbell rang. It was her. She was talking loud and laughing and brought her bag of makeup and stuff with her and she actually sounded more excited that me for the date.
        First thing in the morning, Allen called. He said that he will not be in school today, but he will come pick me up for the date at 7 p.m. Sarah said that she will come an hour before. To “fix me” she said. “I’m not broken” I laughed.
Sarah stopped for a moment and started at me from head to toes “Yes you are”.
It was two hours before the date and Sarah came to my house, headed directly to my closet and started to throw my clothes all over the room “No…no..umm..maybe…no…no…Yes! This is the right dress”
“Yeah my mom bought it for me last month, I didn’t even know it was still here” I would never waste the price of ten books on a dress. But my mom did.
        The doorbell rang, it was definitely Allen. I could hear my mom talking with him downstairs, embarrassing me. I don’t feel comfortable in this dress, probably it’s the first dress I ever wear for years. Anyways, I have no time to just change it now. I went downstairs, Allen was standing near the door laughing with my mom. They all stopped making any sound and stared at me while I stepped down the stairs. Oh my God, I knew it. I look terrible. Allen got his mouth open, mom smiled at me with surprise. “Wow, Eve!” Allen blinked about a hundred times while talking “You look gorgeous”
-“Thank you. I’m just not used to not wearing my glasses, but Sarah insisted that I should take them off cause they cover my eyes”
-“Well, Sarah is right, you’re beautiful” Allen smiled
Why am I blushing? I’m so shy, wow. My face is so red right now. We went outside and Allen rushed ahead and opened the door for me. We went to this really fancy and expensive restaurant. We talked a lot, laughed, made jokes, stared at each other and smiled. I think…I think I’m in love.
