'Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday dear Vin
Happy birthday to you.'

It was one week later I was being awoken by Vanya, Audrey, Dillon, Annalise, Victor, and Delia beside me, Dillon holding a cake.

'Thanks guys! What kinda cake is it?'

'Cardboard, I just wanted it to look like birthdays in movies.' Dillon said throwing it behind her.

'Anyways.' Said Vanya, rolling her eyes. 'Open your gifts!' There was one gift from each of them:

.A Small Silver Notebook From Vanya

.A Hairbrush With A Vampire Smile On The Back From Audrey

.Pastel Glitter Makeup From Dillon

.A Pair Of Lilac Moonstone Earrings From Annalise

.A Dark Red Blanket From Victor

.And A Glittery Red Heart Badge From Delia

'Thanks you guys! I love these gifts!' I said, hugging each of my friends in turn before the bell rang for the beginning of the first class...

OK, I'm not gonna bore you with school, so I'll just skip to the evening what you've all been waiting for.

I looked at myself in the mirror, hoping that I looked OK. I had the dress on, the earrings in, the makeup and hair done, the badge pinned on. I exhaled before leaving the dorm and going to the party hall. It was rammed. People dancing, eating, singing, kissing, and drinking. I saw Audrey at the food table and caught up to her. 'Hey Audrey!' I yelled over the cringy music.

'Hi!'

'This prom is wild!'

'Yeah it is!'

'What stuff is there to eat?'

'There's everything!'

'Let's go pile up!'

There literally was everything. In the end, I decided on a simple tuna sandwich, chocolate brownie, and a G&T.

Yeah, alcohol at a prom, score!

After a couple minutes, we caught up with Vanya and the others (Annalise Dancing With Ramona, slay queen!), who were Cha Cha Sliding. I shuddered, not wanting to join them that much, on the account that I was usually a bad dancer and a few G&Ts deep, but I was wearing my sneakers, so I was going to give it ago. Maybe not the Cha Cha Slide. Or the Macerena. OK, I'll try Sweet Little Bumblebee. I wasn't too bad.

The good thing about this prom was that Stacey and her friends had snuck out to some dumb teenage night club. Suddenly, slow music had come on, and Dillon and Victor and Annalise and Ramona were dancing. I backed away.

'No, Vanya. No! I am too drunk for this.' Vanya just laughed and took my one of my hands, while she put her arm around my shoulder. And before I knew what was happening, Vanya had kissed me.

On the lips.

I melted into the kiss, still dancing and I realised that in just less than two weeks, I had grown: I made new friends, I got a girlfriend, I learnt more about my powers, I learnt how to stand up for myself, I stepped out of my comfort zone, and most of all, I had become myself.

Vingette Gisella Moon, 16 years old, and the Teen Freak I was born to be.
