"I decided to go with Ivory."Mostly because I don't want to be stuck between toxic masculinty.I mean I like girls but...I like boys too."Wow.I didn't know you bat for that team."I chuckled."Girl I bat for both teams.Though I don't like talking about it.Mostly because my parents are both very homophobic.So...there is that."I got ready and sent a message to Ivory.Then I heard yelling downstairs and rushed down.Ivory was looking beautiful in her dress.

"What is going on here?"They all turned to me and their eyes widened."Uh...nothing.I came here to get you but uhm...you look gorgeous."I chuckled and turned around."My grandparents got it for me.But it's good that you're here.I was just done with getting ready."I walked next to Ivory."Crooks.Looking sharp."Crooks winked at me as I turned my gaze to Fern.I didn't know what to tell him.Instead I just checked him up.Up and down and up again.He was wearing a plain fully black suit but with a rose in his front pocket of his jacket."Let's go Rose."I smiled at the boys and to Silver who was at the back and left with Ivory.The enterance looked glorious.

"It looks so beautiful."Ivory spun me around."I know."We got drinks and danced under the magical lights.Then slow songs started."Wanna dance Rose?"I sighed."I'm horrible at it.Thought you'd like to know."Then we got on the dance floor.My arms around her neck and her's around my waist."To be honest I was 100% sure you would reject me because you're-"I cut her off."Nope.I'm not straight.But can we not talk about the fact that I'm not?"She sighed."Of course.And uhm...I'm glad you said yes."I chuckled.
"I should tell you something by the way.It's uhm...it's the least you deserve.So uhm...whatever this is or whatever happens tonight won't...last."She was confused and I would be too."I can't date you is what I'm trying to tell you.But it's entirely my fault.Has nothing to do with you."She sighed."It's hard to find people around here.But I have a question."I chuckled."Go ahead."She sighed."You say it won't last but could it repeat itself?"Oh...I know where this is going.
"Are you suggesting that we become friends with benefits?""You said it.Not me."We both chuckled."Sure.I'd actually like that."Then she stopped dancing and dragged me to the girls bathroom.I sat between the sinks and we started making out.

Grandparents?Bonkers!It's obvious that it's from Ralph.If my name is Silver Hemlock I could swear on my life that the dress that came out of that box was not sent by her grandparents.Or that rose.After Rose left with Ivory I pulled Ralph aside."Grandparents?"He chuckled."If I hadn't she wouldn't have wore it."He's unbelieveable."She is not your girl!She's with Ivory!"He rolled his eyes."Yeah...Hopes on playing with her is out of the question now.Turns out she goes for girls.Meh...I tried.It's not like I could've actually like her.She's ugly.She's annoying and very disrespectful to her superiors."I couldn't help but laugh.
"Ralph Fern.If you hadn't cared you wouldn't have joined the chamber that night.Or do I need to remind you that you were the one who tipped everybody off?Yeah I know about your little stunt.Telling Crooks to do your dirty bidding?Very pure of you."He left without a word.

As she danced with Ivory I remembered the night I asked her to dance with me.It was fun.I really enjoyed myself that night.And boy was it worth it.But seeing now she was never going to be with him.I never had a chance.I really thought she liked me but...it's obvious she didn't.It's alright though.At least she said no because she didn't go for boys.Not because she didn't like me.It won't be the same but we'll be friends.While I was deep in thought I saw Ivory dragging Rose out of the ball room.It's good to assume that they are going to have it their way tonight.

As we were making out I got tired.And stopped."Let's go back to the party.As much as I enjoy this I need to see other people."She rolled her eyes and we both went back after we reapplied our lipstick.I left Ivory and found Dexter."Hey.Come on let's get on that dance floor."He took out a flask."Ouu...what is it?"He chuckled."You'll drink it anyway.But it's whiskey."I grabbed the flask and secretly took a few big gulps."Ugh!That felt great.Where did you get it?I know Mr.Bay wouldn't give this to you."He chuckled and pointed at Kendrick."He has rum too.""Sayless."I walked over to Kendrick."I heard a little birdie saying you had rum.How true?"He handed me the bottle.I got a big gulp and gave it back."Agh!Perfect."Then a jazz from 20s started playing.
"For old times' sake?"I nodded and we got on the dance floor.We danced.Then all of us started dancing together.Dove,me,Silver,Ivory;Kendrick,Rolland and Dexter.Me and Ivory even made out for 30 minutes per request.It was weird but fun.
Following morning I was still in between.I could either listen to my mom,go with Dexter or reach out to my grandparents.I was still thinking on it.But I felt like I didn't want to be in any of those places.I love my grandparents but...I don't know what to do.I love Bay family but my family intends to celebrate with them.And...I know my father will never behave.I packed nonetheless.I was standing at the side of my bed.Staring at my suitcase on the bed."Are you coming down?"I sighed."No.Have a nice holiday Silver.""You too Princess."
I went down and it was only me and Cooper Lyre.So I sat next to him even though we weren't in the same club."Good morning.Why are you here?"I chuckled."I have places to go but I have nowhere to go.Figure it out Lionclutch.I sent my fire messages.It doesn't matter anymore."He and I were having breakfast when I saw a flame wondering around.I walked over to it."Hey.Who are you here for?Everybody had left."
"I can't deal with finding him.Tell Ralph Fern that we got his fire message and that he doesn't have to come back.It doesn't matter anyways."Then the flame faded away.I got back to Cooper."So?""I need to go into town.I'll see you in a couple hours."
