Sierra's P.O.V

"It was incredible. The kind of kiss you read about in books, but never believe could happen." I said to Dan while we were on our way to class.

"Well sweet baby Jesus! Honey, I'm so glad you finally found someone else you feel confident with. But don't forget about me now that you have a boyfriend."

"I won't, you know I won't. Cause you, Dan, are one of kind. You are my friend for a reason right?"

"Mm-hmm." he said nodding slowly making me laugh.

After I finished my homework I tried to make the poem again but it didn't feel right. I wanted to write about my friends, about Jamey. But it was all way too mushy and I didn't feel content.

When the doorbell rang I gave up.

"Sierra?! It's for you!" my mother called from downstairs.
"Coming!"

I got down and saw Veronica with her books. We got upstairs learned for a bit and now she was plucking my eyebrows.

"So how was it?"
"It was the most amazing night ever. He was so sweet and I wasn't all that nervous. Some times.. Haha you know what I mean."
"Yes, I'm so proud of you! Did you kiss him?"

"Yes.. Ow.." I whispered.
"Sorry."
"Why do people do this to themselves?"
"Because it looks pretty. And they're almost even. Your mom's really pretty."
"You should see her prom pictures."
"The night of, or the morning after?" she said joking.
"No, I do not need to think about that." I said giggling.
"Sorry." she smiled.

"Can I ask you something?" I said.
"Sure."
"What's up with your mom? What.. What happened to your dad?"
"He.. He left her for a 22-year old. And left us with all this crap and furniture and... No way to pay for our house, and.. She's just been weird about this whole fading youth stuff ever since."
"I'm sorry."

"I should probably get ready. I'm going to a party. Do you want to come?"
"Like, together? In public?"
"Yeah." she said pointing me her straighting iron so I could help her.

I thought about it for a good second. It was a schoolnight. But I only begin at 10 tomorrow so that could be okay. So I put on my brave face and went with her.

"Sierra. You are so tense right now. Smile. It's a party."
"I know. That's what's so terrifying." I said smiling.
"No!" she said smiling back.

We got inside and we got some drinks. I think it was some punch. We were talking when Chrissy and Mackenzie found Veronica. They didn't look too happy about her hanging around a loser like me.

"Hey, Ronnie. I thought you were sick?"
Before Veronica could reply mackenzie kept talking.
"Um,.. I need to talk to you.. Now."
"Sure." Veronica said staying where she was.
"Like, alone, outside."
"Okay, sure, let's go. I'll be right back." She said smiling at me.

Veronica's P.O.V

They took me outside and started talking.
"What's she doing here? With you?" Mack asked.
"You're being such a drama queen right now. She's not that bad. She's.."
"Oh, my God! Oh, my God!"
"She's actually kinda cool. Like, a totally unfortunate way." I smiled. I saw her doing the keg stand and wanted to be there with her.

"If you wanna commit social suicide, fine, but Sierra Burgess is a loser. Remember? Only losers hang out with losers." Mackenzie said bitching on and she left. Chrissy who's been quiet this whole time looked kinda guilty but ran after Mackenzie either way.

I heard people shouting for Sierra to drink on and was kind of reammy happy right now. She's not a loser.

Sierra's P.O.V

I found myself a seat into the sofa and got a message from Jamey. I instantly smiled. It was a picture of him and his brother in their pj's.

I texted him back.
- Haha that's amazing!

Still waiting for Veronica I saw two boys talking and heard her name.

"Yo, so what's the real story? Veronica..?"

But I was interrupted. Some boy took my hand and took him with him.
"Come on, keg stand, now. Let's go!"
"What?"
"You're gonna love it."
So they lifted me in the air and I drank as little as I could of the beer.
I might be a little tipsy.

I wandered off to the sofa again and heard the conversation from before was still going on.

"I told Veronica she's dumb to make her insecure. I guarantee she puts out tonight."
"You, are the master. I bow down to you, sir."

I was shocked. Immediatly I tried calling Veronica but she didn't pick up. So I left her a message. I hope she sees it on time.

-V. Watch out for Spence. I just overheard a conversation between him and a friend of his that he told you you were dumb so you would be insecure. Find me as soon as you see this!

Veronica's P.O.V

Still outside enjoying the music and the cold breeze I heard my phone go of. While I trying to find it in my purse someone came from behind me.

It was Spence.

"Spence? What are you doing here?"
"I saw your post and I had to see you."
"My Hamlet video?"
"What? No, the one about this party. Do you wanna get out of here? This place is, like, crawling with dudes. "

Oh, I thought.

"I can't just ditch my friend."
"Come on."
"Go where?"

"Babe, just for a second. Come on. We need to talk. In my car." and I gave in. He's my boyfriend after all.

We were kissing and I wanted to let him know what I've learned with Sierra.

"Plato believed that physical beauty... Could be in the form of, you know, sensory experience and..."
"I'm enjoying this sensory experience." he said taking pictures while we were making out.
"What, wait." I stopped kissing him.

But he interuppted me and kissed me again.

Sierra's P.O.V

I left Veronica dozen messages but had no response. So I went home.
Trying to be as quietly as I could I climbed up the stairs up to my room.
I let myself fall into bed.
I'm really tipsy. Not drunk. Just tipsy.
And for some reason I thought it would be a good idea too call Jamey.
