My name is Rebecca, but everyone's always called me Beck. I wanted to tell you about my Halloween adventure I had last year.
You see, I was always the fat chick in high school. You know the one that everyone wanted to be friends with but no one ever wanted to date? After graduation, as I started college, I did something about it. My first year of college, I dropped all my extra weight. I'd never felt better about myself. As my second year started, I started thinking about Halloween. This was my first Halloween that I was going to get to wear a sexy costume.
I shopped for months looking for the perfect costume. I finally decided on a sexy witch. It was cut really low with a short skirt and had a sexy little cape hanging down my back. I nervously viewed myself in the mirror, unable to believe that was really me. Even though I had lost so much weight, this was the first thing I had put on that was revealing. Nobody had really taken notice of my weight loss, because I continued to wear baggy jeans and t-shirts, but, tonight, everyone would notice me.
I walked across campus to the fraternity, stopping just as the house came into view, watching as everyone was going inside. My knees started shaking, as I saw all the cute girls going in. It took me a few minutes to convince myself that I do look as hot as they do now. When you grow up as the "fat chick" it's hard to get over that mentality. I finally took a deep breath, stood up tall, and headed towards the door.
I saw several heads turning as I approached, but had a hard time believing they were looking at me. As I stepped inside, I looked around, trying to find anyone that I might know. I made my way to the kitchen and picked up a beer, sipping on it as I made my way through the house. I started getting used to all the guys staring, and it felt nice. Then I saw him.
I knew who he was, his name was Chris. He was the star quarterback, everyone knew who he was. He was dressed in a toga, with a gold vine of grape leaves wrapped around his head. I couldn't believe he was staring at me. I turned around to see who was around me, just to be sure. Yes, he was looking at me. There was no way I could talk to the quarterback, so I quickly turned and went into another room.
I was in such a hurry, I ran right into Dracula. I slammed into him so hard, it threw me backwards, and I would have landed in the floor if he hadn't wrapped his arm around my waist, steadying me. I felt a blush creep up my neck and face as I became more aware of how tightly he was holding me against his hard body.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
I nodded and he released me. We started talking and he asked me to dance with him. He took my hand in his as he led me through the throng of dancing teenagers. Just as we got to a spot, a slow song came on. I was secretly thrilled that he was wrapping that arm around me again, as he pulled me close. We danced about half the song, still making a little small talk, when he stopped and turned his head.
It was Chris, behind him, asking to cut in. My knees trembled as he handed me over. I couldn't believe he didn't even ask if I wanted to. I guess no one questions the quarterback. He looked down into my eyes as he started dancing with me.
