Beyoncé's POV
It was finally the day of winter formal. Everyone who didn't have dates was trying to find them. But I already knew who I wanted to go with. And there she was, shuffling through her locker in between classes.
"Hey Kelly I wanted to talk to you"
She looked away from her locker to find my eyes. "What is it?"
I started playing with my fingers, suddenly feeling myself become nervous. Maybe I should've thought about how I was gonna ask before coming up to her. "Well I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me"
"Oh bey" she smiled. "That's really sweet of you but someone else already asked me"
I furrowed my eyebrows, what? I couldn't believe my ears. I was confused because I thought me and Kelly were good. I mean.. she just kissed me last night.
"Someone asked you?" I repeated, she just nodded. "Well who?"
"Cornell" she shrugged shutting the door to her locker. I furrowed my eyebrows. Has she lost her mind? Out of all people, she said yes to lying ass Nelly?
"Why are you going with him? Did you forget what he did last time y'all went out!?" I said louder than I thought.
"No." She frowned with an intensively raised eyebrow. "But I didn't forget what you did either"
I groaned, running my hand over my face. "I thought we were passed this"
"What gave you that idea?" She snapped back, folding her arms together.
"You just kissed me last night!" I whisper-yelled in defense.
"I was emotional" She replied rolling her eyes.
I smacked my lips. "You already know he's no good"
"So it's only okay for me to forgive you but not him?" She shot a trick question at me.
"No. I- I just think you deserve better" I said stumbling over my words.
"Better than him or you?" She crossed her arms, glaring at me waiting for an answer.
"I guess.. better than the both of us" I honestly spoke, we both wasn't shit and definitely didn't deserve a sweet girl like Kelly.
The intensity in her eyes dropped and her face softened at my choice of words. She opened her mouth to respond but the one minute bell beat her to it. "Look. I gotta go" she sighed, shaking her head, leaving me standing there completely dumbfounded.
A few hours later
Knowles residence
I was in my room looking through my closet for something to wear to the winter formal when I heard the front door open. My mom was already home from work so I was confused who was coming inside.
"Look who I found" a more than familiar voice yelled from the front door. I stopped what I was doing and walked over to see who it was. It was my dad.
"Daddy?" I was surprised to see him standing in the living room. I haven't seen my dad in a really long time. He slowly stopped coming around after him and my mom finalized their divorce.
"Hey honeybee, where's Kelly?" He asked.
Kelly's POV
I was in the bathroom, getting ready for the dance. I was putting the finishing touches on my makeup when I heard someone yell, "Look who I found" I put my lipstick down and went to go find out what all the commotion was about.
I stopped in my tracks once I saw the tall soldier step inside the house. He took off his uniform hat and smiled at me. "Daddy!" I sprinted in the arms of the soldier.
