It's supposed to be perfect. It's not.

Two pink satin ribbons sit neatly on the bathroom counter next to the sink. Crybaby can be heard humming melodically from the shower as she gets ready for the day. Her collection of bright makeup is spread across the room.

Today is the day of the annual winter dance. This is also their last day of school before the break.
Crybaby imagines herself walking on pink clouds as she steps out of the steaming shower, smiling.

 The thought lifts her already soaring spirits

The thought lifts her already soaring spirits.

Troye looks in the mirror, running his hands through his hair.
He is excited for tonight as well. He and Jacob have decided that they are going to hang out in the abandoned parking lot that sits close to the edge of town and is often overlooked. They are still inviting their friends, however.
Then they will go back to Troye's house. Just the two of them.

The school day isn't an ordinary one, which is to be expected. The chatter envelopes the hallways, busses, auditoriums, lunchrooms, it's everywhere.
The walk to the playground after school is just as lively, but the time there is short.

Lana, Alessia and Crybaby are all going to Electra's house to get ready with her after running home to pick up everything they will need.

Electra leads them all to her room once they arrive, singing and dancing together as they get ready. Excited and crazy.

" I'm going to see Troye and Jacob after the dance

" I'm going to see Troye and Jacob after the dance. What about you guys?" Alessia asks as she gingerly applies mascara.
"Me too." Crybaby nods.
"Yeah. Sounds good." Electra agrees.
" I will, for a while. Then I'm heading to the college party for some guy from Brooklyn." Lana sounds pleased with herself saying this. Electra makes a mental note to remember to keep an eye on Lana tonight.

Soon they are packing in to the back of the car of Alessia's mom, all of them dolled up and ready to go.

"Have a good time... And be careful!!" She calls out behind the four girls.
As if.
Crybaby says one of her favorite movie lines under her breath as she walks away.
