*Leah Pov*

There was a knock at the front door, and I opened it without hesitation. I knew exactly who it was.

"Hey girl!" Nicki hugged me as she walked into my house, carrying her dress as she did so.

"Hey," I replied. "Have you heard from Serena?"

She shook her head, and I felt disapointment spread throughout my body. Nobody has heard from Serena, so we were all pretty worried. I had even called her phone several times but it had been discontented.

Once in my room, Nicki placed her dress beside mine and clapped her hands to gether.

"Well, its time to get ready, homecoming is in a three hours." She said, already taking out her makeup brushes and flat iron.

I rolled my eyes. "Whatever."

When Nicki was done doing my hair and makeup, I couldn't even recognize myself. I stared at myself in the mirror, not believing that this girl was actually me. I could see Nicki smirking proudly at me in the mirror and I turned around to face her.

"Stop looking at me like that. You act like I've never wore makeup before." I said to her.

"I was just going to say that you look pretty." she laughed and did a little twirl. "How do I look?"

"Like a princess." I said flatly, and grabbed my clutch purse. "Now can we go?"

She flipped her hair and picked up her own purse before strutting out my room like the diva she is.

When we got outside and to Jake's car, Nicki sat in the passenger seat while I sat in the back.

"Damn..." was all he could say when he laid eyes on his girlfriend.

"Jake, can we please get moving before I throw up?" I asked, scrunching up my nose.

He glanced back at me then back at his girlfriend before starting his car. "I don't believe you got all dolled up for that loser Leah."

I rolled my eyes. "Just shut up and drive."

"Fine. Oh and by the way, Chres isn't coming." Jake told us. I couldn't help the relieved yet disappointed feeling that spread through me when I heard him say that. "Why not?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"Well, he said that he couldn't bear to see the girl he loved with another guy. He'd probably end up punching the poor boy in the face. " Jake stated.

I didn't reply to that, and just sat quietly until we arrived at the school.

As soon as we walked in, Nicki pulled Jake onto the dance floor, leaving me standing there by myself. "bitch" I muttered under my breath.

There was a tap on my shoulder and I turned around to see Craig with a girl I didn't recognize. She had thick and wild hair, but it actually looked good, and I'd hate to admit it, but she was pretty too.

"Hey Leah, have you heard from Serena?" He asked hopefully.

"No, I'm sorry." I turned my attention to the girl standing beside him. "Who's this?"

He gestured between the two of us. "Hana, this is Leah, Leah this is my ex Hana."

I raised my eyebrow at him. "And what's she doing here?"

"She actually came here with someone, and we were catching up. Don't worry, I'm not cheating. I know that you would probably beat my ass." He assured me.

"mhmm, well I'll see you later." I said then walked off.

I hung around the girls on my volleyball team for some time, taking pictures and laughing. Suddenly, I felt arms around my waist and I turned around to see none other than Kendall in a dress shirt and tie.
