The Truth Behind a Smile #26

School ended and I ran as fast as I could out of the building. With my hand covering my cheek of course. I had successfully avoided Matt all day, hiding in the bathroom for lunch. I slammed my car door shut and tore out of the parking lot. I pulled into my driveway and went inside quietly. I hoped my dad wouldn't notice me. But then my cell rang. Oh crap. If my dad was sleeping, and was drunk, he'd kill me right about now. I answered and went to my room for some privacy.
"Hello?"
"Macy, it's Matt."
"Oh, um, hi."
"Wanna come over again? Watch a movie or something?"
"If this is your sneaky way to find out what happened to my face, I fell okay?"
"I believe you." Wait, what did he just say? He believed me? But i was lying. So now I'm suddenly feeling guilty about lying. But why? We shared one day together that started perfect, turned horrible, changed to beautiful, and then ended in the worst way possible. That was a rollercoaster day. So how could he still love if i lied? Oh wait, he didn't know that.
"Um, yeah sure. When you want me over?" 
"ASAP." And then he hung up. I smiled involuntarily. Maybe there was a chance that Matt really did love me. Love me or not, I left a note to my dad, saying i was at the library and would be out for awhile so don't worry, and the went to Matt's. The whole ride there I had butterflies. Would he kiss me again? I found myself wanting him to. I rang the doorbell and Matt immediately answered. Instantly he wrapped his arms around me and spun me around. When he put me down, he kept my hand and led me inside.
"So its your choice, what shall we do? It's Friday-"
"IT'S FRIDAY???????!!!!!!!" I shrieked.
"Yes it is, so that means we've got the whole night." I noticed that Matt didn't see the ginormous bruise on my cheek, he only saw me. He saw the sparkles in my eyes, the way my skin was glowing. And for the first time in my entire life, I felt beautiful.
