Thomas, Angelica and Maria were now 13 and in the 8th grade.
The school dance was Friday night and there was a booth outside of the gym that said 'vote for Sally hemmings for Ms.Eighth Grade'.

When Angelica and Maria passed the booth Sally laughed.
"Hey Angelica I love your shoes I think I saw them somewhere though." Sally said and she put a finger to her chin as she was thinking.

"Oh yeah I know. I saw them on a homeless persons feet. Angelica you have the same shoes as a homeless person." Sally said and Martha and Theodosia laughed like it was the funniest thing in the world.
"Wow Sally what a great fucking comeback." Angelica said and she walked up to Sally and grabbed all the tissues out of her bra.
"Let's see who votes for you now." Angelica said.
Sally grabbed the tissue and ran off her face red with embarrassment.
"This isn't over Schuyler don't think I won't kick your ass." Martha said.
"Listen bitch." Angelica said and she grabbed Martha so hard by her hair her extension (aka a track) came out.
"Omigod my mom payed 70 dollars to get my hair done!" Martha yelled and she ran off too.

Angelica looked at Theodosia who was about to say something.
"You wanna be next?" Angelica asked.
Theodosia quickly shook her head and Angelica clasped her hands.
"I guess my work here is done." Angelica said and the bell rang and Angelica and Maria got to class.

Thomas was sitting with Aaron in history. The 2 had to look up definitions of words from that had to do with the revolutionary war but right now he wasn't focused on that. He was bothering Aaron with girl troubles.
"How do I ask Angelica the dance?" Thomas asked.
"Why don't you just go 'Angelica I like you wanna go to the formal?' And be done with it." Aaron said.
"What if she says no." Thomas said and Aaron laughed.
"Trust me she won't." Aaron said. "Angelica is head over heels with you."
Thomas smiled.
He made up his mind he was going to ask Angelica tonight to formal.

Angelica looked in her bedroom mirror. She was trying on her formal dress that her mom had just bought for her. It was a light pink dress that reached above her knees. It had not straps and it made Angelica look even more older than her age.
Honestly Angelica was a little bit self conscious. Her boobs were too big for the dress so....... And she felt that her legs were to long for the dress as well.

I don't even look 13 I look like I'm 30.
Angelica sighed she didn't want to tell her mom to take the dress back her mom did pay around $200.00 for the dress.
So Angelica would suck it up and wear the dress. Maybe she could make Sally, Martha and Theodosia jealous.
Somebody knocked on Angelica's bedroom door.
"Come in!" Angelica said and Catherine walked in and smiled.
"Whoa Angelica you grew up on me." Catherine said. "So how do you like the dress?" Catherine asked.
"Fine." Angelica answered.
"Are you comfortable in it?" Angelica's mom asked.
Angelica shrugged.

"Well that's good. Put the dress away Angelica I don't need it to get dirty." Catherine said.
Angelica put the dress back into its plastic dress thingy and put it in her closet.
She sat down on her bed sighing.
Who was she going to take to the dance? If she didn't have anybody to take Martha, Sally and Theodosia wouldn't let her hear the end of it.
Besides Angelica didn't want to kick anybody's ass on formal night.
Why can't Thomas just ask me?! Angelica thought then shuddered at the thought that just went through her head.
What the hell? Why am I waiting for him to ask me. I am Angelica MARIE FUCKING Schuyler and I will not wait for any man NOT EVEN THOMAS.

So Angelica opened up her phone went on Imessage and was about to text Thomas when her phone dinged.
She expected it to be the group chat that Maria, Thomas and angelica were all in but no it was actually thomas himself.

Thomas: Meet me at the park in 10 minutes. Follow the chalk and there will be a surprise waiting for you ❤

And that's when Angelica screamed. She started jumping up and down on her bed screaming and crying and then laughing because she couldn't believe herself.
"He added a heart at the end of the text!" She yelled. "Not just any heart a red heart!"
"Angelica shut the hell up!" Catherine yelled from downstairs and Angelica settled down.
Angelica went into her closet to find a outfit. She finally decided on the black tanktop with the yellow skirt. She threw on a Jean jacket just in case she got cold.

Angelica ran downstairs.
"Mom dad! Thomas invited me for dinner at the park can I go?" Angelica asked.
"Be back before ten and make sure to call us." Catherine said.
"Ok." Angelica said.
"Also don't have sex keep your actions pg." Phillip yelled.
"Dad...." Angelica said and she ran out the door to the park.

When Angelica got to the park she saw at the entrance there were lines of chalk.
Angelica giggled as she followed the chalk to see Thomas with a beautiful picnic.
Angelica felt overdressed a little because Thomas was just wearing his star wars shirt and jeans.
"You look nice tonight." Thomas said and Angelica blushed.
"Thanks." She said.
She sat down and Thomas pulled out cheesy fries because he knew how angelica loved those and some salads because angelica loved salads too.

"Who made the cheesy fries because mmm these are awesome." Angelica said and Thomas looked down.
"Why thank you because I did." Thomas said.
Angelica cocked an eyebrow.
"You did?" She asked skeptically.
"Well my dad- but I helped I bought the cheese." Thomas said and Angelica rolled her eyes.
"Wow you sure did help." Angelica said sarcastically and Thomas laughed that's what he liked about Angelica. She was funny, sarcastic, and a kind girl.

After they were done eating they went on carriage ride.
Thomas told Angelica the story about how James Madison threw up all over Martha's shoes just because she asked him to the dance.
"Why does everything treat them like goddesses they're annoying." Angelica said and Thomas nodded.
"I can't believe we were all friends with sally before." Thomas said.
"Yeah." Angelica said.
"So who does Aaron wanna go to dance with?" Angelica asked.
"Ugh Theodosia." Thomas answered.
Angelica giggled.
The rest of the ride was spent talking about mean teachers, about Angelica's little sisters and Thomas's parents.

It was getting dark and Angelica remembered her curfew so Thomas agreed to walk her home.
The 2 were huddled together and Angelica smiled this was the perfect time to ask Thomas to the dance.
"Uh Thomas I wanted to ask you something." Angelica said and she felt like Thomas could hear her heart beating.
"Me too." Thomas said.
"You can go first." Angelica said.
"Angelica I know you don't have a date to the dance and I don't have a date to the dance so I was uh wondering you wanna go with me?" Thomas asked.
"Sure." Angelica said but on the inside she was doing her happy dance.

Omigod he asked me asdfghjlklllllll

"So what did you want to ask me?" Thomas asked.
"Uh I wanted to ask could you bring me back my hoodie I left at your house?" Angelica asked.
Thomas nodded.
"Sure angel." Thomas said and Angelica smiled.

Storytime guys. So In June right my friends and I were all in a class when this boy stuck a pencil in the fucking socket. So then the pencil caught on fire then he threw it in the sink and the sink wasn't on. So then this paper inside the sink caught on fire. Omigod it was a huge mess. And then he came back to school a week later and everybody was like: "why'd they let him back he tried to kill us."
But yeah that's the time a boy at my school almost killed us all.
