"I want to fucking die" I groan, kicking and punching the ground. It's hurting me because I'm laying on my back so I have to bend a weird way, but I'll never show her that.

"wait, this is legit"

"Mhmm" I respond unenthusiastically.

"Prom huh?" Hanna asks as she looks at the crippled up piece of paper, "you should go!"

I sigh, looking from my very strange position. I'm currently laying on the floor of our loungeroom having a crisis and she's sitting on the couch.

Her enthusiasm is making me want to barf.

I got a letter from my old school the other day offering for me to go to prom even though I don't even go there anymore, i do online schooling so I thought prom wasn't gonna be a problem for me but hey.. it is.

I'm not going though, not a chance.

The reason why they sent me an invite is still a mystery to me anyway.. well partly. It's probably for publicity, so they can showcase a student that's actually done something with themselves.

If is not that, then I don't know, I really was an awful student.

"Hanna, it's in Australia. I can't just drop everything and go!" I groan.

"What's that?" Venus comes over and sits next to Hanna on the couch, after about ten seconds of reading the letter she begins to laugh hysterically, "they must be nuts, you at prom? You don't even dress up for weddings!" She continues through her outburst of laughter.

"I don't know if I'm insulted or complemented, but thank you for seeing my point of view"

She beings to wiggle her eyebrows in a way that should be illegal.

I groan, "What"

"You could take-"

Before she can finish the sentence Hanna's hands are over her mouth.

"Shh Venus" Hanna whispers.

"Neither of you are to tell him" I say with my jaw clenched, "or anyone else for that matter"

"Tell who what?" Riley tries to grab the letter but Hanna snatches it away.

"None of your business Riley!" Hanna raises her voice. It's strange to hear such a small person have such a loud voice, unnatural almost.

"Damn, calm your tits" Riley puts her hands up in defence, causing me to chuckle.

"Holy shit, whats the racket about?" Laura walks in with a very angry expression.

Great, now the whole band is here.

"Nothing" Venus, Hanna and I say in unison.

"What, is it a conspiracy now?"

"No of course not, just a secret"

Laura rolls her eyes and begins to walk upstairs, "okay sure, but shut up will you? I'm on the phone"

We nod and she leaves the room, Riley looks at me with pleading eyes but after I shake my head she storms away with Laura. I cant help but crack a smile.

"I got one too you know" Hanna whispers as if she's being cautious that someone is listening.

"What?" I sit up and look at her, "now you need to go" I emphasise the word 'need', "it's your scene!"

"Wow now I wish I lived in Melbourne and not Western Australia, my school gave me some flowers and said "bye" when I left, they didn't even pay me a second glance!" she sinks into the couch. "Fucking bitches, I wanna go to prom" she mumbles.
