Classes went by quickly that day. Everyone was in a hurry to leave and head home that most people had missed the new flyers hanging up on the walls. A few were stuck on different lockers with the words "School Dance" scribbled on it in bright letters.

"Oh look!" Bea said, grabbing one of the pink flyers off, skimming over the small writing on the paper.

'Super cool school dance Friday! Bring a date and your dancing shoes!! From 6 p.m to midnight
p.s- If you smell strongly of alcohol or the marijuana you will be asked to leave. Thank you.

Bea snickers instantly. "The marijuana-"

I rolled my eyes before stuffing my books into my locker, glancing around to make sure Steve or Billy wouldnt be making another surprise appearance. I dont think i cant handle much more of them showing up out of nowhere. It was getting super old.

"Are you still grounded?"

Bea smiled happily before extending her arms above her head, yelling. "Nope!! Im free. My parents felt bad for grounding me in the first place so i got off pretty quick." She paused, a small frown forming across her lips. "I still havent told anyone about what happened that night. Have you?"

I could still remember everything that happened then so clearly. So much had happened from me walking into Billy taking a shower to the weird alien thing almost eating him for a snack.

"No.." I sighed, adjusting the strap of my bag as we both headed towards the exit of the school. I still feel like we should say something. But who could we talk to about this? If some kids came up to me saying what happened I wouldnt believe them. So why would anyone else?

All of a sudden a small group of boys were seen surrounding Bea's small car. One of them i recognized to be Gabe from the bowling alley. We both gave eachother a questioning look before heading over to the boys. Their attention was soon on us as Bea spoke, "Uh, can i do something for you guys?"

A tall boy with blonde hair wedged his way between his friends as the laughed and poked at him while he was obviously trying to compose himself before speaking. "Hey guys, um so i know that the flyers just went up today but i figured it would be best to ask before anyone else did." He paused not taking his eyes off Bea who was starting to get the idea on whats going on.

"I was wondering if you would go to the dance with me, Bea?"

I couldnt help the small smile forming across my lips as i watched the shy boy obviously not liking the awkward silence that soon took over. Bea cleared her throat, rocking back and forth on the heels of her feet before finally saying, "Oh! Um, could i possibly get back to you on that? Im not sure if i will be going or not you know?"

The boy's face feel once Bea finished speaking. His friends patted him on the shoulder and you could see the guilt on Beas face before she gripped onto the boy's arm. "Thats not a no, I just dont know if i will be going or not. I'll get back to you, i promise."

"I really hope none of you idiots are asking my girl to the dance." Billy said once he had reached our side, folding his arms over his chest as his jean jacket hung over his shoulders. The guys simply shook their heads as the held their arms up in defence.

"Joey was just asking Bea. No need to get excited." Gabe said, narrowing his eyes at Billy who was simply laughing at the attempt to seem threatening.

He eventually waved it off. After Bea and Gabe's friends left he grabbed a cigarette from his back pocket, lighting the tip of it with his silver lighter and leaning against the driver's side door to my car. I tossed my bag into the backseat before motioning for him to move.

"I have to get home, Billy."

His eyes shot up to my own before he finally pushed away from my car, opening my door and bowing down as he spoke sarcastically, "Fine. Here you go princess."

Before i could come back with a witty comeback I couldnt help but notice Billys attention move across the parking lot. I looked over and seen that Steve was watching us the whole time. He was leaning against his car, swinging his keys around his fingers with a scowl on his face.

Please dont come over here

"Looks like Ken the barbie doll has something to say." Billy grunted.

I shot out from the car, making some space between Billy and I as Steve finally walked over to us, shoveling his hands into his pockets and not looking at Billy once. He looked a little sad, but I could be wrong.

"Can i talk to you for a second?" Steve spoke, flicking his gaze over to Billy who was now getting angry. He was tapping his foot against the ground and mumbling something to himself.

"Can you not talk to me here?" i spoke, knitting my eyebrows together questioningly. I dont see what he would need to talk to me about in private. Billy knows he cheated on me and Billy was there that night when that thing attacked us.

"Yeah Harrington. Talk to the girl here." Billy's deep laugh echoed around the empty parking lot.

I was starting to get nervous, the last time Steve, Billy and I were in this situation a fight broke out. Andi am just not up for seeing that right now.

"Fine." Steve snapped, his eyes softening once his attention returned to me. "I wanted to ask you if you would go to the dance with me?"

My mouth fell open like a fish instantly. Steve was obviously delusional, Billy's face was now red and his fists were clamped shut.

"I beg your fucking pardon Harrington? I know you arent serious right now!!?" Billy roared, taking the chance to push Steve's chest a few times, making him stumble back.

"Hey no!" I yelled, gripping onto the back of Billy's shirt to try and pull him away from Steve who was getting tired of Billy pushing him around. I sighed in relief when he obeyed and stepped back. He was still angry, there was no doubt about it, but at the end of the day it is my choice and Billy and Steve both would have to live with it.

"Fine. You want to play that way?" Billy said softly, his lips curling up in a cocky smirk before stepping closer to me. "Why dont you go to the dance with me? I will make it so much more fun for you baby."

My heart nearly jumped out of my throat as i had two boys standing in front of me, waiting for my answer. Steve was my first love, and i know he feels bad about what he did. He is a good person who just made a really bad mistake. And everyone deserves another shot right?

On the other hand there is Billy. Who i have already seen naked and debated on having sex with only a few days after meeting him. There was not doubt in my mind that he would probably try something else, but i really wasnt against that. Billy hasnt cheated on me, but then again we arent together, and he had already made me upset once.

"So?" Steve said, looking from Billy to me once more. "Who's it going to be?"

Who would i choose?
