The Most Beautiful Girl in School Asked Me to Prom

Charlotte smiled sadly.

“Tyler, I barely did anything.”

I shook my head.

“That’s not true.”

People who change lives rarely realize they’re doing it.

I pointed toward the photo.

“That night was the first time I felt human again.”

Her eyes filled.

I continued.

“After my parents died, I thought nobody saw me anymore.”

The room became quiet.

“You did.”

Charlotte looked down.

For a moment she couldn’t speak.

Then she whispered:

“I remember how sad you looked.”
