However, when I was heading home I saw something that shattered my heart in millions of pieces.

He asked Quin.

And the worst was, she accepted.

I ran home, tears falling down my eyes in pure anger and sadness. There was nothing I could do.

I entered home and dialled Arabella's number.

"I need to talk to you. Right Now. " I said then hung up.

7 minutes later, the familiar girl stoop by my front step and looked at me, looking for evidence of what had happened. "He asked Quin. " I said

"Who?!"

"Dan. Dan asked Quin. " I said again, louder this time. She was shocked and entered my house without a single sound leaving her lips.

"Well, say something." I plead

"There's nothing to say, Brooks. Other than what a jerk, there's nothing to say. " She smiled sadly.

Today was the Homecoming Dance and I was, well, dateless.

I had tried to contact Luke but didn't had the guts to tell him he was my plan B.

Calum had told me Luke invited Nichole, his science partner. At least he's not dateless.

But even though I'd be arriving alone, that didn't take me down. Two hours before the dance starts, I decided to start getting ready.

I took a shower, shaved, and left my bathroom smelling like strawberries. I dried myself and put on some new underwear and a bra that didn't show on the dress.

After that, I brushed my hair and blowdried it well. That done, I turned up some music and tied my hair in a bun so I could start getting my makeup done.

I applied foundation, concealer, powder, bronzer, highlighter, blush, did my eyebrows, and moved on to my eye makeup.

I did a cut crease kind of makeup look, the brown colors on the crease matching my dress and the white glittery lid making my eyes pop. I did a simple winged eyeliner and popped on my false lashes.

It was already 7:30 and the dance started at 7:00.

I colored my lips with a nude lip liner, as well as some nude gloss on the center of my lips to make them appear bigger.

When that was done, I moved on to my hair. I curled it on the ends and did a tiara kind of look on the top of my head with my hair.

8:00.

I put on my dress and yelled for my mom to zip it up because I couldn't read the end.

"Oh sweetie, you look beautiful!" She exclaims and I smiled.

I put on my nude doll high heels and got my phone, turned off the music and put it on a cute black case.

I'm ready to go -dateless- to the homecoming dance.
