After showering, I climb out to be greeted by Smile with my towel hanging from his mouth. Grinning as always, he looks up at me while waging his tail. In a way he was really cute, besides the creepy man smile. I smile back at the devil dog and hold my hand out to him. He responds by standing up and rubbing his head against my hand and dropping the towel in it.

I giggle and pat his head, "thanks Smile."

Smile barks and wags his tail then walks into my bedroom, curling up right outside the door of the bathroom. I watch and smile then dry off. Hanging up the towel I try to leave only to find I'm trapped by Smile. I hop over him and get dressed in a black shirt and blue jeans. Smile hops up when I open the door and pushes past me and l stumble back and giggle.

Smile jumps down the stairs and hops on Jeff, licking his face.

"Gah!" Jeff yells as he falls onto the ground and starts laughing. He ruffles Smile's head and tries pushing him off "get off of me mutt." He laughs more.

Smile barks and licks his face and growls playfully before jumping off. Jeff gets up and brushes himself off, grinning at Smile before seeing me standing at the bottom of the stairs. "What are you grinning about?"

I grin more and laugh, "nothing Jeff." I walk into my kitchen and make eggs and toast for both him and myself. Jeff starts scavenging through my cabinets and finds a bag of chips which he opens and tosses a chip to Smile who jumps and catches it in his mouth.

"Hey! I'm making breakfast for us," I groan. "You're going to ruin your appetite."

"Sorry mom," Jeff flicks a chip and it hits me in the forehead and I flinch. "Some chips won't fill me up. I could eat Smile Dog and still be hungry."

Smile's ears perk up and he gets up before quickly running out of the room. I laugh at his reaction, "so he actually does understand words?"

"Oh yeah. He can understand everything a human says." Jeff says while sitting down at the table, continuing to eat chips even though I told him NOT to.

"Huh, that's awesome." I put the eggs on two plates and two pieces of toast. Jeff takes a plate eagerly and scarves it down. My eyes widen, I've never seen a human eat that fast. Jeff puts the fork down and belches and blows it at me. I make a disgusted face and fan the burp away from my face, "that is so disgusting."

"Thanks," he says sighing, "being disgusting is my specialty. You going to finish that?" He gestures to my plate.

"Yes I am thank you very much!" I grumble and eat.

I get up and leave for school after I finish. Danielle and I talk for a few minutes before the bell rings for the first class to begin.

Posters of prom haunt me in every hallway, the words practically nagging me that I don't have a boyfriend and that nobody asked me yet. Prom is in a week and the theme is some type of masquerade ball thing.

I roll my eyes to myself, as if I wanted to go. You do want to go, my subconscious nags me and I groan. You've wanted to go since you were a freshman. Ah freshman year, hard to believe that was four years ago and that this would be my last year of high school before college.

The school day drags along like every other boring day. All the other seniors like to slack off since its the last semester of school and nobody gives a crap. I was writing an essay for English when Devin comes up to me and sits in the desk in front of me, facing me. "Hey," he says to me.

"Hi." I don't look up from my school laptop.

"You know.. You have the most beautiful eyes."

This makes me look up. I clear my throat uncomfortably and shift a little in my seat, "thanks?"

Devin smiles and moves closer, "I was thinking.. Just thinking.. Its our last year of high school and we've been been going to school for a while now. Do you want to go to prom with me?"
