Before the Horizon is Love.

Chapter four: School dance!!!!

The next day everyone is still cranky about the whole fiasco if you know what I mean...

Its Tuesday, my LEAST favorite day of the week. You know why? Because I have extra classes and Britney is extra bratty!

I walk downstairs cussing under my breath and I see Mom and Dad happy.

"We're pregnant!" Mom exclaims.

Another way to ruin my day. I'm gonna make THAT into a saying.

"Oh, goody." I fib but Mom and Dad don't pay attention.

I look to my left and Brinlee is reading "The Couch Potato."

I groan.

"I'm gonna get ready for school." I say and walk back upstairs.

"Need a ride to school?" Dad yells.

"NO!" I yell and shut my door. More like slam my door.

I strip my pajamas and put on green leggings with a blue shirt and just black sneakers.

I fidget with my hair tie wondering if I can skip school.

I run downstairs next to Mom.

"Mom, can I skip school?" I ask.

"No, your mother and I would end up in jail." Dad responds.

Hmmm... I think its worth it.

For breakfast we have omelets. Yuck! But I manage to get it down without my face looking a bit green.

"Bianca, your face is green!" Britney exclaims.

I stand corrected.

Soon I walk out the door waiting for the bus without digesting feathers and cotton balls and without Brinlee punching me until I bruise. That's a new record!

I wait for bus 7 to come and me and 8 kids get on the bus.

I actually like the bus. It smells like chocolate cupcakes, I get to sit wherever I want, and the bus has music with words that could probably get a kid suspended!

I sit in the front and no one on my block seems to want to sit with me.

Oh, well.

Suddenly, a boy sits next to me.

"Hey, Bianca!" The boy says.

I look over to see Xander.

"Hey Xander. What's up?" I ask.

"Nothing much," Xander says.

"Hey, do you want to be friends?" Xander asks looking at my long brown hair.

"Um... I don't know." I say, putting a chunk of my brown hair behind my ear.

"Aww. Why? Do you not do boys that are your friends?"

"What? No, I try to be friends with everyone but I'm every boys target to bully." I say looking away.

We're quiet for a few minutes.

"You know...Theirs a school dance in a couple weeks. I've got a date, what about you?" Xander asks and my hear stops!

I FORGOT THE SCHOOL DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is all my problems about the school dance!

1. I don't have a dress and mom buys my clothes at Asos! But Britney and Brinlee get to go to Justice at the Mall!

2. I don't have a date!

3. I don't have any friends to go with as a friend-party!

4. I always embarrass myself at these kind of events!

5. All the hot boys are either taken or complete morons.

I'm SURE theirs more!

"Umm, when's the dance again?" I ask.

"November 7th! I got to go with the prettiest girl! Xander swoons and I roll my eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, We're here!" I say and get out the bus.

Another reason to hate this stupid week.
