Tinge magazine6/20/2023 ![]() They had never met him, but her descriptions made him out to be the dreamiest guy on the planet. It was almost as important to them as it was to her that she would succeed. She stepped off camera every few minutes to change into a new outfit and model for her friends to get their input. With her phone propped up against a polished jewelry box she had gotten for her 12th birthday, she held up skirts and shorts that clearly violated the dress code and t-shirts that hung so low in the front her mom would make her wear a tank top underneath. Her pink sheets were practically invisible underneath the mounds of clothes. She had already pulled out every article of clothing that could make her remotely desirable prior to calling and laid them out on her bed. They all shrieked like a murder of crows - so loud that their respective mothers had to check on them and make sure there wasn’t some new music video causing mild heart failure. In her room later that day, she called her friends and told them about the interaction. She spent the rest of the day buzzing with excitement. She wanted to invite him but her parents said there were no boys allowed and he laughed, promising that if he could be there he would be. She had a conversation with him on Tuesday in English class about how her birthday was this upcoming Friday and she was having a party this weekend. The first time she remembered feeling it was on her birthday.
