Amandolette has dusted me all over with some weird glitter brush, so I literally sparkle. And she has agreed to drop me off so I can surprise him. “OK, so you’re hot once again, Rory, like super legal age hot. He is going to bust a…. haaaaa…. Ewww! DO. NOT. GET. ANYTHING. ON. MY. DRESS. FOR. REALZ.” And on that note, we make our way to Toby’s house. My hands are sweating, and my heart is pounding. What if he hates his gift? No matter how I dress up and act, if I give him his gift wrong, he may hate it. “You have to get out of the car, girl; he can’t see all your hotness in here. Stop acting cray-cray and go already.” Mando reaches across and pops my door open while pushing me out. “Call me if you need a ride, babe. Love ya long time. TOODLES,” she coos while backing out. No turning back… It’s times like this I need to be prettier. No, scratch that—I need to love me more. I need that confidence I can only find with Toby. He makes me feel beautiful.
