“Why would you do that to me?” I furrowed my eyebrows together as I looked at my computer screen. Another quote found from Joe Jonas talking about Emma Watson. It could get really devastating after the fifth week of reading continues quotes of his crushes. It was like- no it was like hearing it from your true love.
I ran my fingers in my black curls and sighed furiously. My windows were wide open and the wintry California air was running in. It was winter break and I was wasting it pretending to be in my own world. The fantasy of being Joe Jonas’ girlfriend was good until the cold shook me back into reality. Sure I had already seen him and met him, but he had never winked at me or asked for my number. Not once did he ask me where the swimming pool was! I didn’t think I looked that bad, I mean I was ordinary but not horrible right?
I looked at myself in the mirror, and I always got less than I expected.
My black curls looked like a dehydrated haystack, and my brown eyes were much too small. My lips were thin and widespread, and to top it off I had a much too small nose that pointed at the end. My olive skin could be pretty but it was covered in blemishes from not wearing sunscreen on the sunny days.
I know he said that he liked brunettes, but I’m a…blackhead? That just sounds wrong…
He also said ‘every girl has something special about them.’
When am I going to find my special feature?
“Nicole!” I heard my mother yell from downstairs, “Go to sleep we have to leave early tomorrow! Families going to the lake!”
I sighed and packed my voice tightly to yell back at her, “okay mom!”
I grabbed the magazine that had a picture of Emma Watson and Joe Jonas in a heart. I took my slippers off and hoped into bed.
I hugged the magazine close to my chest and closed my eyes.
“Let me be Emma Watson, let me be Emma Watson…” I whispered softly against the page.
