A Heartbroken Dallas

I've known this guy since 7th grade, we'll call him George for now, and I've liked George on and off again since 10th grade. Anyways, I just find out a couple days ago that he doesn't even read my text messages. A huge blow to my egos and very embarrassing all together.

Dallas; (sets down the mascara) So.. you're saying this was all for nothing?

Blair; This is why we can't like anyone.. because if we do, we get hurt.

Dallas; But I thought he'd be different!

Becca; I know, I thought so too..

Blair; Who needs him? You are better off without the male species anyways!

Dallas; (still trying to understand the situation) Is it because of how I look? I mean I can't tell you how many times I dressed up and tried to impress him!

Blair; No! Don't you ever think it's because of how you look!

Becca; Then what is it?

Dallas; Yeah!

Blair; Well... I don't know exactly. And frankly I don't want to.

Becca; I do!

Blair; No, I can't let you get hurt. If you are hurt, everyone else is.

Becca; Why don't you want to know?

Blair; Because deep down I know that if I did know, I'd be more hurt. And yeah I made a total a** out of myself, but it's better than suffering.

Dallas; But I really liked him. And now all the make-up, the clothes, the hair... It was all for nothing. I mean I really liked him!

Becca; We know you did, we all did. But Blair is right, we put up these walls for a reason. We were idiots for letting them down, but we needed to learn.

Dallas; I hate this. I can't even look at him! I have to avoid running into him because it's all I think about! I'll analyze everything I say to him, and I'll worry about getting hurt! I don't want to look like an even bigger fool! I'm so embarrassed. It's like a bomb was dropped into my lap! All my hopes were crushed by that stupid explosion!

Blair; Don't worry, you'll have me to protect you.

Dallas; But it's not enough. I just want to wear sweats and throw my hair up everyday now, what's the point in trying to impress someone who can't be impressed? And since he's not going to change his mind, what's the point? I want to hibernate until the end of the semester.. Maybe then everything will be okay.

Becca; You can't hibernate, I know it seems like an amazing idea right now.. But just wait. Some hotter guy will stroll around and you will forget all about George.

Dallas; No. I'm just going to go with my plan. Not trying to impress anyone anymore.

Blair; Well, at least we won't get hurt.

Becca; OK, but you will totally regret it. Now, let's just focus on school and our friends for awhile. No boys. Deal?

Blair; Deal!

Dallas; (shoving all make-up into a lock box) Fine.
