Me and my girl

The dance

AN- this Saturday, Lizzie went to a party with me. yes, I know the last chapter was in July but I couldn't resist writing about Saturday, I have a feeling you'll be surprised....

I was going to meet Lizzie at the bus stop. It's my schools Christmas dance and I've asked her to come with me, of course she said yes, what with being my girlfriend and all. But she had a few conditions-
•she will not wear a dress under any circumstances
•she will not wear a skirt under any circumstances
•she doesn't have to be nice to all the bitches
•If necessary, she can leave whenever

I agreed of course. I mean, come on, this is Lizzie we're talking about, I love the girl.

I was sitting on the bench by the stop, fiddling with my mocking jay pin that Lizzie got me during the fight with my dad.

"Here..." she reached into her pocket and pulled out a mocking jay pin. She carefully fastened it to my top. "It's a symbol of defiance in this case, you will not- We will not sit back and watch this happen ok? We're all going to fight." She said.

I smiled at the memory.

"Hey." I turned around to see Lizzie standing behind me. Her hair was in her signature half up do, with several little braids through it. She was wearing ripped jeans and one of her many tartan shirts. She had a small black bag over her shoulder, just big enough to fit her phone and purse in. She was stunning.

"You- you look beautiful..." I murdered. I hopped off the bench and hugged her.

"Hey- you've got your pin on? I've not seen you wear it for a while.... everything ok?" She asked me.

"Everything's fine... and I wear it everyday, you just usually don't see it because of a dark shirt I've got on." I clarified,

She smiled at me. "Well I'm glad you do. Come on, that's our bus just up the road." She nodded to the set of lights coming to a stop in front of us.

We hopped on the bus and about 20 minutes later, we were standing outside the school gates.

I was nervous. My mates were going to meet Lizzie for the first time, and vice Versa, so I hoped they all got along. And then there's that girl, Lila or something, that has a crush on me. Tonight could either make or break my friendship and relationship with Lizzie.

I noticed Lizzie shuffling about. "You ok?" I asked her. "Yeah.... just nervous that's all.... I don't do so well with meeting new people..." she murmured.

I reached for her had and grabbed it, squeezing it gently. "We'll be ok yeah? After all, we're- what's it that Laine calls us?" I asked.

"Marka." Lizzie laughed. "Yeah right- we're Marka, we can handle a stupid school dance right?" I smiled.

"..... hell yeah." She grinned at me.

We walked inside and I led her to the hall.

The walls were covered with a Christmas wallpaper (not pasted on, taped probably) and there was tinsel everywhere. On the food table, the stage, the DJ table, heck, even the some students were wrapped in the stuff.

The teachers all had Christmas jumpers and stupid Christmas hairbands on. All the girls, except Lizzie, had ridiculous dresses on, like they were going to the prom or something. Some of the guys had on tux's, but more were wearing jeans a T-shirt, like me.
