"You ready yet Cake?" I call while carefully pulling my hair back into a ponytail, tying it off with a hairband.

"Just about!" Cake announced.

As I turn in the mirror i think about who may be there. Gumball I'm not to sure about. Marshal is most likely to be there...ugh. That guy from earlier today, HAS and NEEDS to be there! Just as I start thinking about early today Cake walks in with her outfit, looking, just a lot, the same except with a more of a tan.

"I didn't do half bad! And it looks natural huh!" Cake says showing off her outfit, posing a few times.

It takes a moment to sink in but i figure out what she's talking about. "Yeah it really does!" I say adding a hint of sarcasm in. Which she didn't quite pick up.

"Now let's get going so we can get there before the crowd!" Grabbing my hand she pulls me out the door and to the party.

The party, which was all the way on the other side of the campus in the Boys Dorm. Walking beside cake toward the dorm we here a sound which appears to me as keys hitting one another. I continue on my path not really giving it to much thought when Cake tackles me and pulls me behind a bush with her.

"Cake what the h-" her hand slams again my lips making me silent.

The sound of keys grows closer and closer and then gradually quieter, causing Cake to release her grip on my lips.

"What was that about!?" I say frustratedly, brushing off blades of grass and fragments of dirt off my dress.

"Campus Cops..." She says in a hushed tone.

I didn't even have to ask to understand that what we were doing was not "legal" on this campus. Cake stood there scanning the perimeter like there would be someone there. I laugh, grab her hand and pull her toward the door.

As soon as we had made it in side Cake took over and showed me up the stairs. On my journey to the top floor I noticed that the boys dorm halls were mostly red and dark wood outlining the different sections of the wall unlike the girls dorm that only had light green wallpaper outlining the walls.

Once the flights of stairs ended we took a right, following the sound of music from down the hall which led us the the LAST room of the east side, and top level, of the building. Cake gave a special little knock and the door almost immediately opened to a group of teenagers and hot air. I kind of just stood there, debating whether or not to enter the cloud of hormones or to just high tail it back to the girls dorm, but of course, before my decision was my legs moved automatically taking me inside with them. And once I was in, there was no getting out. Cake disappeared and I was consumed by he crowd of dancing, making out, fighting, and just plain awkwardness that filled the entire room. Well that is until I got a little "hip check" sending me over the the window on the side of the room where I could breath without worrying about kisses someone.

My eyes scanned over the clusters of people when all the sudden they stumbled upon something. A short girl with white hair and the same pale blue skin Marshal had, which was who she seemed to be standing next to. I watched them as she talked and he stood there listening to her but couldn't make out what either of them were saying, mostly because Marshals back was turned to me and the girl just looked like she was talking to fast. And just like the way she was talking, her own actions were moving to fast. Before I knew it she had already pushed off her feet and kissed Marshal...

A sharp pain shot through my chest and clenched my dress. So he has a girlfriend...

Just like before my legs moved on their own. Shuffling across the hardwood floor, my fave totally numb. I came to a door and entered it, shutting it behind me and leaning up against the wall, slowly making my way down to the floor.

A tear streamed down my cheek which was then followed my a series of others and all  resulted in an avalanche of tears, I pulled my knees to my face and continued to cry. What for...I'm not quite sure but it was and is uncontrollable. And I couldn't figure out why.

*Click, Creak, Click*

The door had opened and it had shut, meaning someone was also in here. Even knowing this my eyes continued shed tears. And whoever had entered...knew i was here too.
