"Greetings! I am glad to see all of you here again. Tomorrow is a turning point for all of you as you all know." The principal, Miss Venice cleared her throat before continuing her speech.
Elaine and Chelsea yawned, resting both their heads on my shoulders, their hair tickling my nose. I relaxed my shoulders, interrupting their little doze.
I nudged Chelsea lightly, since she was not asleep anymore. Elaine stirred a little and soon went back to sleep. I smiled at Chelsea, she returned it to me and sighed.
Obviously, she was not listening to Miss Leigh's 10-script speech. I nodded, acknowledging her boredom.
"You are dismissed." Miss Leigh informed us after centuries. Everyone began chattering with each other again. I stood there, waiting for everyone to exit the hall first before me.
I raised my shoulder causing Elaine to wince.
"Let's go, we're dismissed." I announced to her, her face beamed and went back to her groggy face again.
I rolled my eyes, and pulled both their hands and headed to the cafeteria. Noise filled our ears as we walked in.
"Trice-"
"Silence!" Dominique who was wearing a mini-plaid skirt and a sleeveless shirt standing on a table, Sandra and Thea, beside her.
Everyone silenced. Wow, powerful much?
"Prom will be postponed on Saturday.. and I want to go with.." She put a finger on her chin, thinking.
I looked around and saw all boys were raising their hands. A few nerds were jumping, probably trying to catch her attention.
I looked at the girls, some of them were the hot boys' girlfriends who were putting a close watch at their boyfriends. I felt myself gagged at the sight.
I scanned the crowd a bit more.
"I don't care who she chooses, as long as she doesn't choose Jack-" Elaine informed me since she has been hinting him to ask her to the prom.
"Jack!"
"Oops, you spoke too soon." I chuckled as Elaine groaned.
I smirked, and turned around and found myself bumping into someone.
I looked up, "Oops, sorry. Didn't mean to.. Um, I have been wondering, doyouwanttogotothepromwithme?" Don, the infamous nerd just asked me to the prom? I looked at him, hoping that he was dared and was joking.
But, he was blushing. How could I say no? But I didn't plan to go this year. i will be busy packing my luggages, judging by looking at my closet.
He looked at me, hopefully. "I..I.." I stammered.
"Yes, I will." I smiled at him, ignoring any regret I had.
I bet nobody has ever accept to be his prom date, since he wears harry potter's spectacles and orange braces on his teeth and wears hello kitty's socks everyday. So why not do him a favour?
"TRICE!" Elaine screamed at me, as he ran along to his other nerd friends.
"What?" Knowing what she is angry about.
I rolled my eyes,"He has been hinting at me, just like you hinting at Jake-"
"BUT JAKE'S HOT!" Maybe, she said it too loud.
Everyone burst out 'ooo-ing'.
Chelsea and I laughed until my sides hurt. Elaine had a deep shade of red on her cheeks.
"Listen, girl. Jake's mine, so you better back off." Dominique stepped infront of us, swaying her blonde hair.
"Umm, babe. You listen to me. He doesn't even like you, so you better back off, gurrrrrl." Trinity said, pointing her finger at Dominique.
Dominique literally, growled at her. She pushed Elaine by the shoulder and walked away. I grabbed her and pushed her, resulting her to fall on her butt.
Everyone laughed at her. I chuckled in victory and pushed Elaine and Trinity out of the cafeteria.
"Excellent job, Trice!" Trinity high-fived me.
Elaine chuckled and shook her head.

Everything went as usual as always. I waved goodbye to both my bestfriends and grinned to myself. I nearly tripped over a stone, hoping no one saw it.
"Clumsy much?" A voice made me nearly jumped out of my skin. It's definitely a male's voice. i froze and stood there, squeezing my eyes. I groaned and turned behind.
His messy red hair covering half of his green-coloured eyes. He seems so familiar. But, who?
"Beatrice? Don't you remember me?" He looked at me, somehow hurt was visible in his eyes.
I stared at him, trying hard to remember him. Who is-- wait, "D-D-Dennis?"
Everything came flooding to me. He was the reason I lost my memory for a month. He was the reason I felt empty. He was the reason I was heart-brokened. He was the reason-
"Oh god, I thought you didn't remember me. Phew. So, long time no see. Where have you gone these few weeks?" He asked, a smirk still playing on his lips.
I glared at him, and walked away.
"Beatrice! Hey!" I heard him running to me.
He got hold of my hand, I tried to shake it off, but he was too strong.
"Hey, hey, Beatrice. Where are you going? Don't you remember 'us'? We-" I cut him off by slapping him. My day had been ruined all because of him. But I really felt how hard I slapped him, even my hand still stings.
When he turned his face to look at me, I saw his cheeks being red, his veins could be seen. I then, felt sorry.
"I-I-I'm sorry." I apologised, afraid he would turn agressive just like old times.
His eyes widened when he saw something over my shoulder. He turned around, his back facing me. He started to run, but I saw him squinting his eyes and clenching his jaw, while pointing his finger at me and one moment.
I felt chills going up and down within my spine. I wonder why he ran. When I was about to look behind me, I saw two police officers running to the direction he went.
What is happening?
