The Light

At the Dance

          My Dad drops us off and speeds away. We walk into the school. We are the first in line. We get our ticket clipped, and walk into the gym. We wait for all of the other kids.

       In about ten minutes, the gym is overflowing with children from sixth grade, all the way up to eight grade. We spread out and try to find people we know. Chelsey sees her boyfriend, Cole, and runs away from me. I stand in the middle of the gym, looking for someone I know.

      After a half an hour, I see Nicole and start to walk to her. I look behind me, and that walk becomes a slow run, then a full on sprint. I am thinking about my dream. There was a light following me. it turns out it was just a guy with a flashlight. I smack my head with my hand and walk over to Nicole again.

     "Hi Nicole.'' I say excited. She looks at me sadly and sulks. "What's wrong Nicole?" I ask annoyed. "My crush, Cole, Just hugged Chelsey." She answers. "Yeah." I answer. "They are dating after all." She screams, "MY LIFE IS OOOVEWERRR!!!" She falls on the ground. I roll my eyes and walk away.

     I find Rylee and sit next to her. "'Sup Rylee?" "'Sup." She answers. "You ready for tomorrow?"  I ask. "Yup." She answers, unamused. "What's up with you?" I question. "The stupid social studies teacher, Mrs. Lang-" "Yeah." She continues. "Well she thought I was cheating on the stupid freakin' social studies test." She finishes. "How?" I ask. "She said to put your study guide in your binder so there would be no lose papers, I really don't care though. So I put it in my desk and it fell out." ''Oh..." I answer. "Well, If it makes you fell any better, I got a special youtuber to come on to my livestream!" "REALLY? WHO?!?" She Exclaims. "I'll give you a hint... It Starts with Sky.... and ends with, DoesMinecraft." "SKYDOESMINECDRAFT!!" She screams. "You are good at guessing Rylee. Please tell me your secret." I say sarcastically. She doesn't hear me. She's to busy spazzing about Sky.

         After two fun filled hours, It is 8:00pm and it is time to go home. I get in my dad's car and Chelsey gets in the back. We drive to her house.  I walk her to her door. I am half way up the stairs as Chelsey's stupid brother, Derek, trips me and I fall down the stairs.

         I get up. As I walk up the stairs again, I punch him in the face. I smile politely as efalls over in pain.

    "I may be little," I whisper. "But I am not defensless." I finish with a death stare and walk the rest of the way up the stairs.
