TW/CW: Physical Fight. Brief Mentions Of: Alc*h*l and Bl**d

Students filled the hall as an angered Lesso and giddy teachers stood at the front.

Audrey walked in wearing a beautiful dark purple gown with long black gloves.

A smile was stretched across her face as students, that previously would have come in wearing pajamas, were now dressed up like princes and princesses, and were filling the room.

She felt proud of herself. Few people would be able to accomplish turning Nevers into people who look remotely approachable.

The girls had all different hairstyles, fit to their personality with gowns that could be mistaken for Evers if it weren't for the color pallets.

Audrey came back into reality as Snow gripped her hand. They both looked at each other and gave large smiles.

Hester was currently setting up her guitar as well as another never, Geo, was setting up they're drums.

The hall looked great, despite Anadil coming down with a 'cold' and having Hort to decorate all by himself. Candles hovered over their heads, near the ceiling. There was a food table on the opposite side of the music stage where Dot was currently sticking her tongue into the liquid chocolate. Big black drapes hung over the windows to not let light in, even though it was 10:30pm and the sun had already gone down. A huge banner hung in the center of the room, with black and gold lettering, it labeled: 1st Annual Never Ball

Snow and Audrey made their way to the center of the room and started to sway despite there being no music yet. One would call it romantic but all the Nevers having to witness it, call it absolutely appalling.

Eventually, Hester and Geo started up and everyone jammed out. (Stormy by Nyu for reference)

Dot was still at the food table when Meredith made her way over.

The girl stared at her as her jaw dropped.

Meredith was wearing a dark green, almost wedding style type dress. She looked stunning. The woman giggled and twirled around.

"Y-you look gorgeous, Mrs. Moore!" Her jaw was still hanging there.

The woman chuckled and then held out her hand.

"Shall we?"

"We shall." Dot took the teachers hand and they made their way to the center of room with everyone else.

They danced for awhile before a slow song came on and decided to get some drinks instead.

"Here you go." Meredith handed Dot a drink as she began getting her own.

"Thank you, Mrs. Moore. Not just for this but for the whole night."

"Its no trouble. But please, for tonight, call me Meredith." After getting her drink, she took out a little vial and poured it in.

"Oh..alright. What's that?" She pointed to the glass vial and raised an eyebrow.

"Just a little adult fun." She winked which made the girls cheeks heat up a bit.

"Mrs- Meredith, since when do you drink?" She took a sip of her punch, as well as Meredith.

"I always drink. Just no one ever catches me." She shrugs and grabs a strawberry before biting into it.

Dots eyes shifted over to Audrey. She knew she should be happy for them, she knew she should feel bad for what she did, but all she wanted, was to be the one silently rocking Audrey back and forth.

Meredith's mouth continued to move but it was all incoherent to her. All she could think of was her hands on her hips with her arms around her neck. Slowly and slowly getting closer until eventually they-

KISS?!

Snow had stood on her tiptoes and gave a long kiss to Audrey. It's not like they had never kissed before but they had never kissed in front of Dot. Her blood boiled and her face had a red hue.

Meredith tapped her on the shoulder and said something before leaving, but it was all blurry to the girl.

Fists clenched, she began walking towards the happy couple. Their foreheads were pressed together and their arms were entwined. She couldn't help but feel immense jealousy at the fact that that should be her.

"SNOW!" Audrey and Snow looked up to see a flaming Dot. They both backed away from each other before Dot landed a blow right on Snows left cheek. She stumbled back in pain before the girl attacked her again, kneeing her in the stomach. Audrey was screaming for Dot to stop and everyone else had turned to watch the fight.

Of course, Snow had no way to defend herself as she was an Ever and Ever girls weren't taught to fight.

Dot shoved her to the ground and straddled her before continuously landing hits into her face.

No one knows what came over Dot, not even herself. Maybe it was the fact that she was tired of being pushed aside, or the fact that she always loved people she could never have. But whatever it was, none of it was against Snow, she just happened to be the easiest person to take it out on.

After at least a minute of no one doing anything, snow had been knocked out and her white hair was stained with red.

She doesn't remember too well what happened except being pulled off despite her fight to be let go.

Hester and Hort eventually came over to calm Dot down as the adults turned away to talk about the situation.

Dot could hear her friends freaking out but the girl only stood and stared at her feet. How could she do such a thing? How could she ruin a friendship and someones perfect relationship at the same time?

Holding her hands out in front, she looked at the blood encrusting her nails and the bruises on her knuckles. She started to laugh. It started out small and then became a cackle.

"FUCK!" Dot pushed through crowd and slammed the large doors shut on her way out.

Her exit made everyone jump including the teachers. Eventually, Lady Lesso stormed out too, a frantic Meredith behind her, leaving many confused children and adults.

Snow was taken to Goods infirmary and everyone at the dance continued on like nothing had happened. Except for Audrey of course, who instead of going with Snow, decided to go find Dot.

Alright guys, I hope you liked the students perspective but just wait til you read the teachers. Both sides of the story are great.
