I wish it was a touch longer...
Beth covers her scars and ultimately deems herself unworthy of 'soccer-god' Lucus.
The story follows Lucus being peer-pressured into inviting Beth to a 'dog dinner' where the soccer player with the ugliest date wins a prize. Needless to say that things don't go quite according to plan...
I didn't like how shallow this short story came across, but I did like the overall feel of the characters. I can understand how shallow and horrible college males (and females) can be when they're at that time in their lives where they feel on top of the world.
I liked the sweet romance and appreciated the emotional rollercoaster that Beth and Lucus went on. I wish it was a touch longer, giving the characters a little more room to develop and the story to get more involved, but alas, you can't have everything you wish for.
