I passed a few days by, why you might ask? Because life was boring then, unless of course...you really want to hear about it. Well then, Let's sum it up for you in a paragraph.

Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah. ZOMG PROM'S COMING UP! Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah. OOH!!! WHO ASKED YOU TO THE PROM!?!?!? Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah .Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.Blah.

So there, that's pretty much it. And no, of course not, why would I accept a date request for the prom? There is NO way I would, would I? No, no, of course not, I have to keep my rep up on being some skater chick who can throw a punch when she needs too. I don't need a mushy rep or a rep going on about me being completely clingy and all that stupid stuff. I really don't.

I was finishing my homework, not that there was much since Friday was the prom and everyone will be only talking about that anyway. Plus, it was a four hour day(let's curse and thank this years school president) so, you can't get through much in that time period. Some people aren't even going to school so they can get all their overly priced spa treatments, massages, and perfect corsages and limo rentals. Ugh, I bet people put more work into this than they ever have in school all together.

 It wasn't long until Ever called me, no surprise there.

"HEY HAVEN!!! Guess what?" She asked me excitedly.

"A meteor was said to crash tomorrow right during the middle of the prom, and was said to directly hit the school so we can't go?" I asked hopefully.

"No, silly!!! The prom's held at the middle school cause it has a bigger gym. And I just went to a store, supposed to be bridal store or something like that, and I got you a new dress!!! The one you got is terrible, because, of course, they accidentally made it pink," Ever explained.

"What the heck?" I asked annoyed.

"Okay look, I know you're pissed, but you still are going. And I'm right outside your door, I can smell the remains of younger brother poo, and you better let me in," She told me before she hung up.

I groaned and opened the door. She came in with like, 200 pieces of clothing and pushed me into my room.

"Okay!! I've got some yellow dresses, if you like them. I've also got green, blue, purple, and red, cause red looks epic on brunettes." She smiled evilly.

"Green, yellow, and purple, in that order. Everything else is way too common.

"Omg!!! I also have a really cute black one, try it please???" She pleaded.

"Ughh, fine. Wait, where did you get these anyways?"

"My aunt owns a Charlotte Russe store and my cousin owns a Joyce Leslie and so on," She told me.

The first one, made me look like Tinkerbell, with a strange skater girl twist. A terrible dress, unless you're Ever. Second one, was way to long and was sleeveless. I SO don't do fancy sleeveless shirts or dresses. The last one was green with black polka dots on the bottom half. It had a strap that went around my neck, it was okay I guess. But way too girly.

"You suck Haven, such a picky, picky girl," Ever scolded like a mother.

The first one of the yellow batch was practically made of feathers and made me look like some overgrown bird. Second one, I think was most decent by far. Went just below my knees. Had thin straps though, but it looked pretty cool I guess, unless my minds betraying me and I've become a total girl. Third one was all sparkly. No. Freaking. Way. I will not sparkle like a wannabe Edward Cullen.

There was only one purple, but it was epic. Some of it, that looked like a mostly opened coat, was light purple and was pretty jagged on the edges. The rest of it was a really dark purple that was all torn and stuff. 

"Are you sure bout that? It's one of the worsts, and ugly," Ever said disgustedly.

"What. ever. I never even wanted to go, remember?" I told her.

"Okay, okay, fine. But try this black one? It's like that but WAY cuter," Ever told me.

Reluctantly, I tried it on. Honestly, I looked like some goth queen, not a bad look, but just plain weird. Plus, I know how much I sweat, sweating in that thing would not be good.

"No," I said annoyed.

"Kay then!!! Meet Alyce's house tommorow, kay? Right after school," She told me excitedly.

"Do I really have to?" I groaned.

"Look, we're not going to a spa, you're lucky with that. But Alyce's mom is epic at hair, remember? And her neighbor happens to work at a nail and make-up salon. So it's all good!!" Ever smiled.

"Awwwwwwww" I whined.

She rolled her eyes, "Grow up, Haven, you really will have to soon,"

She walked out of my house, thank god for that, and took all the dresses with her just in case I had any secret plan to destroy the one I planned on taking after she left. Life sucked, seriously.

I fell back onto my bed and blasted "Wasting Away" by Tonight Alive. Favorite part was the chorus.

And So the sky

Becomes A dream

I never dreamt because I'm just too busy waiting for nothing

And wasting away.

Sigh, maybe my life is really wasting away. Because all of the girly, mushy, and cute stuff drag me down to its terrible level.
