Nerah: *It's the start of a new week*

"You have to ask him this week," Jack said as we sat in our 3rd period.

"Why?" I asked my mind still wrapped around whether I wanted Grayson or Zach.

"Because Senior Ball is this Saturday and graduation is next week!"

"Well, if graduation is next week, I don't have to deal with Stacey, Tina, or Kylie ever again in my life!"

"They can't win!"

"Why is everything in life a competition to you?" I asked.

"Because you only get one chance to do things!" He sighed. "We only get one chance to finish high school as kings! We can't go down as liars!"

"But we are liars..."

"Nerah-"

"He doesn't want to go," I snapped. I sighed.

"You asked?" I shook my head.

"James asked Grayson if he'd evet consider going to a high school dance if he had the chance to and he said no because he hated high school," I explained.

"It's okay..." Jack smiled and gavr my hand a tight squeeze. "We'll buy you a dress and make you look like the most beautiful girl there so that it's like no other girl in the world exists."

"Thanks, Jacky."

"Of course, bup." He smiled.

Zach:

I walked over to our regular lunch table and sat down. Everyone was discussing Senior Ball which reminded me of Loren and how gorgeous she looked in her dress.

"Who are your guys' dates?" I asked.

"Well, we the 4 of us lost our dates because every girl in the school is going alone in hopes of a chance with Nerah's date, so we're going with each other," Jonah said, gesturing to Daniel, Brandon, and Colby.

"Haha, suckers!" Corbyn teased while placing a kiss on Christina's cheek. I looked up at Nerah.

"Your date must sure be a ladies man," I said awkwardly.

She nodded awkwardly and I groaned. I just wanted to be with Loren.

Nerah: *SATURDAY/SENIOR BALL*

"I'm really nervous," I said to Jack as I stated at the beautiful maroon dress that he bought me.

"We'll be fine, let's just have a blast, okay?" I smiled.

"Okay."

"So... I actually brought someone over to help you get ready while I go home and get dressed.

"Who?"

"Hi, Sister!" James squealed while walking through my bedroom door.

"James!" I smiled and gave him a hug.

"We're gonna get you looks all nice and glammed for tonight!" I laughed and nodded. "Just slip on the dress first and then we can put a trash bag over so that makeup doesn't get on it.

I nodded.

...

"I'm actually kinda sad that Grayson doesn't wanna go," James said softly.

"Same..." I sighed.

"But I heard you guys had lots of fun last Saturday..." I smiled.

"We did."
