7:03. At least that's what it looked like. My digital clock broke so my mother made me use a regular old fashioned one. It could be 7:02. It could be 7:04. Whatever. It was one of those! Whichever it was, it meant that we still had enough time.

Enough time for what? Well, the dance. Tonight at 8. It was Friday night and Trixie and I were getting ready for the dance in my room. The vague scent of almost burning hair filled the air in my room. Yeah, Trixie brought her straightener with her. Not just for her hair though. She decided to tackle the curly mess that I called my hair. I told her it would be no use but she insisted.

While she was working on my hair, the blaring of the mainstream radio that Trixie forced me to listen to, was the only my room. She said that she could never get ready for a school dance without her favorite tunes playing in the background. I said that it wouldn't matter because we would probably hear these songs at the dance in an hour. I said probably because I had never been to a dance before.

Gasp! Never been to a dance? What the hell is wrong with me? Well, up until this year, Amy and I had flown under the radar. It was just the two of us and we hated every kind of social event at the school. Basically we just hated everything and everyone. Nights like these, we would be in her room watching indie movies and exceeding the post limit on Tumblr yet again.

Obviously, you know that our lives were sent into a complete tailspin this year. Everything changed when the fire nation attacked. I'm kidding. About the fire nation. Everything did change though. I don't want to name him, but a very attractive blond boy was to blame for it. I don't want to say that I completely regret my relationship with him. I did really like him and none of us expected all of this shit to happen. I did meet my best friend, Trixie out of all of this. That's a plus.

About the whole dance thing though. Alec and I got together like right after the first dance of the year. I had no idea if he went but I obviously didn't. We were gonna go to the winter one together but things didn't go as planned. I didn't go to that one either. I almost didn't want to go to this one either but Trixie is extremely persistent and very persuasive.

The reason I don't want to go is because of everyone there. I don't doubt that Amy will actually go to this dance now that she has a boyfriend. The entire group will probably go. Oh, how I missed them. I had Trixie though. She was more fun than all of them put together. In fact, every single night this week after Xander and I ended whatever we had, she's been trying to get to me to go out and party. My answer was always no because I just felt like shit after I lied to Xander. I completely deserve to be alone. He was another reason why I didn't want to go. I wanted him by my side. Especially to show Natalia and Steve. Oh, how I hated them.

I wasn't going to let them get in the way of my fun tonight. If I have any. I only promised Trixie that I would come as long as she stayed by my side. There was no way I could go out in front of everyone alone. No matter how good I looked. Yes, I'm allowed to be proud of how good I look. Trixie got me a nice white suit with a hot pink button-up shirt, and a black tie with my nice black dress shoes. If the pink threw you off, remember this is the Valentine's Day Dance. Even though it's odd, someone's looking fancy. Like you don't even know.

Trixie, as always, was the best dressed in the room. Her dress was way more expensive than mine. I would rather not tell you the actual numbers. Back to her dress though. Oh, and speaking of the back of her dress, there wasn't one. She had on a hot pink, backless dress that clung tightly to her petit figure. The front did a great job of showing cleavage and the dress was held up with a strap around her neck looping to the other side. The length of the dress was quite confusing.  Her right leg was almost entirely exposed. The dress trailed off and covered half of her left leg, which wasn't her better leg anyway. Now it was time for her shoes. Her shoes were the same color of hot pink as the dress but with a cute design near the front. The heels were about four inches which according to her, was tiny. Still, her outfit will probably be the best one there. She had already straightened her hair as well and perfectly applied her makeup. It made me think that I might need another ride home tonight because looking like that, there was no way she wasn't leaving with another guy.
