Charlie is a shy but tough girl. She's a 'lil chubby and a loner. She only has two friends. Her best friend Dara and Dara's younger brother Caleb. She wasn't bullied or anything but no one really takes the time to know her.  She has a huge crush on Damien, the brooding art student. But he seems oblivious. Charlie wants to be noticed by Damien, but it's harder than it sounds. Little does she know, somebody else has set his sights on her. The last person she would guess to be in love with her. Who is this person and will she give him a chance? Or would it be too weird?

"So, are you gonna tell us?" The host asked playfully. The audience were urging him to tell. Caleb looked embarrassed and ran his hand through his hair. 


"Ok, ok, let's give him some space. Gotta calm down over here," The host tried to calm everyone down as she smiled and the audience finally settled down. I gulped as I watched, transfixed. 


"So, it's okay if you won't tell us. I respect your-" The host started to say as the audience groaned in disappointment. 


The audience went quiet and the host regained her composure. 


"Caleb, can you repeat that please?" The host said with a hopeful smile on her lips. 


"My girlfriend. Her name's Charlie," Caleb said with a smile. The host nodded and smiled. 


"Well, I gotta say, Charlie, you are one very lucky girl. I mean, look at him!" The host said and Caleb became redder and looked a little embarrassed. The audience cheered. 


I stared at the tv as the host was ending the interview.
