Fictional Boyfriend #18

Watching wasn't so crazy about my last post and to tell you the truth, neither was I. I was really tired and was just like "what the hell! I'll just use Zach!" since I just reread Jinx. Anyways, today's boy is going to be... David from Uglies. For some reason, I just loved this guy. He knows how to live off the land and well is incredibly ugly. But to Tally, he is beautiful in a different way. Her friend Shay was in love with David, so it sorta ruined their friendship in the first book because David only returned Tally's feelings. Ever since Tally "ran away" from her home town [it's been awhile since I've read the series, so sorry!] to get to Smoke, she started to learn that she liked being ugly.
At every Uglies' sixteenth birthday, they undergo a transformation to become pretty. Almost every Uglie looks forward to this. Then you have your rebelious Uglies that want to stay that way, but they are not allowed to do so.
This doesn't make things easier for Tally who ends up befriending a girl named Shay after her friend Peris turned pretty. It turns out Shay is rebelious and has an escape to their ever-afters as uglies. Tally tells her no, wanting to be able to undergo the operation. Shay leaves directions to Smoke and then leaves herself.
Special Circumstances found out that Shay ran away and knew that the only way they'd find her is if they got Tally to tell them where she was hiding. This is where Tally gets screwed- either Tally goes to Smoke and exposes everyone there or she stays ugly forever. At the time, being pretty was all she wanted. So taking the cryptic directions Shay left, she set off to Smoke.
To make a long story short, Tally makes it to Smoke, falls in love with David, makes Shay upset because she loves David and David loves Tally back. Tally then realizes that the Pretties' heads get messed up when they undergo the surgery, so she wants to stay ugly forever. Plus she doesn't want to leave David. So taking the tracking device that S.C. gave to her, she throws it into the fire. Bad news. Tally is an idiot. That set the device off and well Smoke was found. Read Uglies to know the rest.
