A/N Yes I know another pointless author's note. If you actually read this, comment Weasels ate Martha and I will follow you. Anyway, this chapter is dedicated to the lovely ColeCast13 who was annoying enough to get me on this site in the first place. So ENJOY! P.S. If you know me in real life Daisy is Lily, Joy is Tatum (because Tatum means cheerful and cheerfulness is joy. Ha!), Arrow is Andrew, Charlie is Gabi and Garred is a nonexistent human.
Chapter 1- The Fall Dance. Yay....
I poked at my CUP NOODLES aimlessly with my fork as my friends babbled on about the Fall Dance. I would look up and nod occasionally to seem as if I was actually listening to their pointless prattle, but they knew me better than I liked.
"C'mon Si! You gotta be a little excited." Joy pestered. I shrugged nonchalantly
"Well I know I am!" Daisy squealed in a very Daisy-like manner. "Just think. Maybe this year will be the year I'm finally brave enough to ask Garred to dance with me!" Daisy has had a crush on Garred ever since we were in middle school together and she was convinced that sophomore year is lucky because you're 'officially entering the teen world'.
"Daisy if you weren't brave enough last year when we gave you candy for HOURS before the dance, I doubt you'll do it without a sugar rush." I mutter miserably
"I dunno... rumor has it this year it'll be a masquerade." I groan and plant my face on the table.
"THAT IS SO CLIQUE!" My muffled voice shouts.
"I know I know but we have to pick you out the perfect mask so--" Cole trails off. I snap my head back up.
"Wait what?! You seriously think I'm going!!!???? Pssh. Over my dead body!!!"
Arrow looks at me mysteriously. "That can be arranged." I grabbed my fruit snack packet and throw an orange at his face.
"Get away scary boy! No one likes you!!!" Charlie wiggles her eyebrows at me.
"But someone does Sierra." She makes a big deal of looking pointedly at Cole. Lewis giggles and I just roll my eyes. Arrow and Cole cringe a little.
"Just because you had one awkward date and Sierra's relationship fell apart entirely doesn't mean---"
"Uhhh HURTFUL!" I say
Lewis ignores me and continues "It doesn't mean you two still can't be adorable!"
I look at her strangely. "You sound like Effie."
"Who?"
"Effie Trinket. From the Hunger Games. Oh gosh PLEASE don't tell me---"
"No no no. Got it."
"M'kay"
"BUT AS I WAS SAYING.... Dance. Sierra you are coming with us no matter what, like it or not."
I shrug and begin to twirl a strand of my long brown hair around my finger. "I dunno... I may have plans. Like watching all the Pretty Little Liars over again...."
"No." Joy said forcefully. She grabs her phone and starts to call someone.
"Who ya calling? The SWAT team?"
"No" She smiles sweetly. "Your mom."
Arrow rolls his eyes. "Worst 'your mom' joke ever."
"No I'm really calling her mom." She shows us the screen of her iPhone.
"CRAP NO!!!!!!!!!!!!" I say and lunge for the phone. Just my luck, my mom picks up.
"Hello? Joy?" Lewis yanks me back in my seat and she and Charlie hold me down.
