When Sarephina was done getting ready it was 7 PM. She walked to Wills room and knocked on the door. Soon Gwen opened the door and smiled at her, "Can you tell Will that I'm leaving and I'll be back later?" Sarephina asked.

"Of course," Gwen smiled.

Sarephina smiled back and ran downstairs and out the front door. When Sarephina got to the paper Lantern it was 7:54. Sarephina sat in a booth and waited happily for Lash. When the clock hit 8 Lash was sitting down in front of Sarephina. 

"You came," Lash smiled at Sarephina.

Sarephina smiled and nodded to him. "I'll be right back, I gotta go to the bathroom," Sarephina got up and walked to the bathroom.

When she turned the corner she ran into a hard wall, well, chest actually. "Oh, Sarephina, are you OK,"  the owner of the chest said worried before picking her up off the ground.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Sarephina fixed her dress, "Warren, I didn't know you worked here"

"Sarephina, you came here every weekend when I got off work just so you could come up with some stupid lie and have me walk you home when we were dating," Warren said looking into Sarephina's gray eyes.

"Warren, I love you imagination but I've been with Lash forever," Sarephina laughed at Warren before turning around.

As Sarephina walked back to the table she felt dizzy, like she was missing something. She approached the table and looked at Lash, "Lash, I'm sorry i gotta go home, I don't feel to good but I promise I'll see you tomorrow at homecoming," Sarephina whispered weakly before walking out of the Paper Lantern. 

When Sarephina finally got to her house she saw kids fleeing. After everyone was gone Sarephina stumbled up to the door and opened it the see her  mother and father standing at the bottom of the stairs looking confused. 

"Mommy," Sarephina whispered getting Josie and Steve's attention, "I don't feel good"

Sarephina suddenly collapsed to the ground  and passed out.

~~~ The Next Day 5 PM ~~~

Sarephina felt a lot better than she did the night before. Sarephina smiled to herself as she did her make up and her mom did her hair. Sarephina already had on her dress and she knew Warren would love it. Warren, why do I care if Warren likes my dress or not, Sarephina asked herself.

Sarephina lightly shook the thoughts out of her head and looked at herself in the body length mirror. "You look beautiful baby girl, "Josie whispered in Sarephina's ear smiling.
