Karen's POV
Just when I thought things were finally getting better, it all turns bad again. Arthur's words still echoed in my ear. "He's using you " But Matt wouldn't do that... would he?
"Karen." I looked up from my History textbook to see Matt.
I looked, but I didn't respond. What would I say? He looked slightly nervous, and that made me nervous too.
"Karen, there's a Prom coming up... would you like to go with me?" he asked.
Prom? He was asking me about prom? "Me?" I said. It came out like a whisper. "But why me?" My heart started pounding as I waited for his response.
"Because I-," he began, and my heart beat faster, but then he said," everybody else has a date already." My heart sank, and I thought stop it Karen don't be stupid. I kept in mind not to get my hopes up next time.
"Okay. Of course I will," I said softly. I felt like I was about to cry again, although I don't know why. I didn't want to cry at school again, I didn't want people thinking I cried alot- I don't.
"Great. I-," he said.
"I've got to go," I mumbled, and fled the hallway before the tears came.
