For English class. Real life events, with the names changed. Thanks! 
Will was in tenth grade, he played tubaa in the marching band and had this floppy brown hair that just screamed with softness. He was about 6 inches taller than me and had a habit of saying incredibly adorable yet incredibly cheesy things. Needless to say I was in love. I had been completely crushed over him all year, unfortunetly so had his girlfriend Christina. Every December our school has a talent show to raise money for Christmas love. This year, my friends had convinced me to be in it. I stepped onto the stage wearing a red off the shoulder sweat shirt with an elephant on it and one gray sleeve as the trunk, and skinny jeans with a small rip in the knee. I clutched my guitar with nervousness. I sat down on the stool placed right in the center of the stage right behind the microphone stand and right in front of everyone. Mrs. Haysworth tapped the microphone and said "Now for our last performance we have Callie Mills playing... er.. Oh the Places You Will Go by Whitney Wiatt. Now settle down everyone!" There was a hush over the gym filled with the entire school. I look down at my guitar and start playing in hopes that I would calm down. I begin singing "Darling, I'll take you tonight.." my eyes scanning the gym until they settle upon Will, standing in the door way. Will, looking at me up on stage. Will, Will, Will. Did I sound okay? Did he think my elephant sweat shirt was lame? Why hadn't it accured to me that he would be watching? And listening.. he was listening to me; but there wasn't anything else to listen to. The song was over. I walked off stage, and sat, waiting for them to talley the results. My friends flocked backstage. All I could register was a clammer of compliments. Until something someone said caught my attention. "So, Will was completely checking you out!" exclaimed Tonya "Well why wouldn't he be? Since him and that awful Christina broke up!" Meghan smiled as she said this. She knew I had no idea. I nearly choked on the juice I was drinking. I stood up, "THEY BROKE UP!?" Everyone smiled and nodded. I couldn't believe this. Will, perfect, soft hair screaming Will, was single. "And now if we could have all of the performers on stage?" Mrs. Haysworth said into the microphone. I steaped out onto the stage in a daze; no way was my mind on the talent show I was a million miles away trying to digest what had just happened. "And the first place winner is...." why hadn't I found out sooner? "Callie Mills!" The girl beside me nugged my elbow and I stepped forward realizing, I had just won. Pictures were taken, hugs were given, and I heard about a million congratulations. I was grateful, but still a million and one miles away from the here and now. I sat down on a bleacher as everyone cleared out, clutching my guitar the same way I had when I first walked out onto the stage. "You know, you did pretty good for a girl in an elephant sweat shirt." Wills voice echoed in the now emptied gym. I smiled nervously and scooted over so he could sit down. "Thanks, but you know with your eyes glued to me like that I was pretty darn nervous.." why did I say that? Why was I being so lame? "Well, how could I keep my eyes off of you? Your talented, gorgeous, you're everything a guy could want." Where was this going? This wasn't some Disney show, I knew good and well what I hoped was happening just couldn't be... "So, you know Callie, Christina and I broke up..." or maybe just maybe it was happening. Maybe Disney had been right all these years and these type things are completely realistic... "Yeah I heard." I looked him deep in the eye. Had they always been so dark brown? "Well, I was wondering if maybe you..." wow, this was it. Disney had been right. I officially loved this moment, it would be such a cute story to tell our kids... "could hook me up with your friend Meghan." Did that seriously just happen? I looked at him for a while, trying to see if he was serious, I was waiting for the punch line, waiting for the "JK" but it wasn't coming. Hadn't he just told me I was gorgeous? And he couldn't keep his eyes off of me? And I was everything a guy could want? "She's not interested." I said as I stood up angrily. He stood up too, looking confused. I swung my guitar over my shoulder, hitting him with it in the process, and walked off. I muttered "Bye, Will." over my shoulder and walked out of the gym. Maybe perfect, golden, adorably cheesy Will wasn't all he was cracked up to be.
