I am Beautiful (Definition of Beautiful Challenge)

I am a nerd, glasses, braces, and all. I had my As, but when it came to the boys, I failed. I did have friends though, the nerd group as we were called. So I was surprised when one day,

“Hi”, said this very handsome man.
I looked at him and I couldn’t talk, I am not very good at this.
“It’s ok you don’t have to talk, just listen. I have had my eye on you for a long time. You seemed so into your books so I just thought this was the only way. I like you a lot and I think you beautiful. You’re not like the other girls, you’re pure and you don’t so much care about your looks. So, will you go out with me?”
I blushed, again I couldn’t speak right away, it took me a long time until I managed to say, “Your, you’re a very nice man… I am very shocked that you think I am beautiful, no one has ever said that to me before….Yes, I will.”
“You know beauty isn’t always skin deep,” We said in a very sweet voice as he fixed his eyes on me, “Can I walk you to class?” He held me hand.
I melted, but finally got a nod in.
