I arrived at Britney's house at 6:52pm. I knocked on the door and her mother answered it.
"Hi Dan, how are you?" she asked politely.
"I'm great, these are for you" I said while handing her a bouquet of flowers.
"You're too kind, come on in" She replied.
Britney floated down the stairs in her long flowy dress. Her dress matched my tie exactly and her hair was curled perfectly. She didn't look sick at all—she was beautiful.
"Ready to go, gorgeous?" I smiled.
"Yes" she smiled back.
We got into my car and drove to a small diner close to school. The waiter came up to us and asked for our order.
"I'll have a double cheeseburger with a side of fries please" I said as I looked over at Britney.
"I'll have 2 double cheeseburgers, a chili dog, a side of fries with cheese, and chocolate cake with ice cream please" she said confidently as she handed the menu to the waiter.
"Damn that's a lot of food, you're gonna get fat Britney" I judged. We've been together for almost a year now and she has never liked chili dogs.
"No it's not, you barely got anything" she replied back.
I started to realize she hasn't been herself lately, she's probably on her period or something. We hop into the car and arrive at our high school. Britney has been glued to her phone the whole car ride and hasn't said a word.
"Who's texting you?!" I snapped.
"It's just my mom" she assures me and kisses me on the cheek, "Come on let's go."
We walk into school and vote for homecoming king and queen. Britney leads me to the dance floor and we dance for what seems like forever. All of the sudden she ran away from me and I couldn't find her. I finally found her by the drinks with her hair up.
"Hey why'd you run off like that?" I wondered.
"Sorry I—" before Britney could finish I interrupted her.
"Don't ever do that again. Let's go dance." I remarked as I grabbed her arm and pulled her towards the dance floor. She said her feet hurt so she sat on the bleachers as I helped her take her heels off. I put her phone in my pocket so she wouldn't lose it and I felt it vibrating like crazy. I told her I was going to the bathroom and I opened her iMessage.
It read:
Andrew: "Hey Britney! I think you look beautiful in your blue dress tonight"I decided to answer him.
Britney: Meet me in the cafeteria by the vending machines.
It was time to end this problem once and for all. This is the reason Britney's been acting so weird. This is why she was glued to her phone—she was talking to Andrew! I was so irritated with him, I stormed out of the gym and into the cafeteria. I pulled a cloth with chloroform on it out of my pocket and put it up to his face and he passed out. I dragged him to the locker room and laid him on the ground. When he woke up I shoved a bunch of pills down his throat that I found in the coaches office. I put the pill bottle in his hand and deleted the texts from both of our phones and went back to the dance. As I was walking towards the cafeteria I could hear Britney crying. I turn around the corner and I see Britney hugging her friend.
"How am I supposed to tell him I'm pregnant?" She sobbed.________________________

If anyone has any constructive criticism I would be very happy to listen! I know there's some things I need to revise but I would love to here some feedback!
