Fires Collided

³⁹

I went to check on Kendrick before I put on my dress.I knocked on the boys' bedroom door.Crooks opened."What do you want?Your boyfriend isn't here."I chuckled."I get that Ralph doesn't like him for some reason but you don't even know what's happening.And I'm not here for Peter.I'm here for Kendrick."He rolled his eyes."I'm gonna pack.I don't even care."He left and I walked in.He was tying his bow."You're doing a good job over there."He turned around looking freaked out."Aren't you supposed to be changing?!"I'm like...is he seriously serious right now?

"It's just a dress and a bloody zipper.Geez.Relax."He rolled his eyes."Nope.Leave!"My eyes widened."Excuse me Mr.Graduate but you need to relax.Go wash your face or something."But no.He insisted until I leave."FINE!For fuck's sake Kendrick!"I left and I got dressed too.

I started waiting for Kendrick in the common area but I had it.That boy freaks out a lot.So I went in without knocking."Kendrick get your ass out there!"Then I realized the few boys that was left in the school besides graduates.They were all staring at me.Which happens a lot recently."Kendrick finally came out of the bathroom."Finally!And you say that I take time!Let's go you freak!"I pushed him outside of the bedroom and turned to the other."Sorry boys."While I was glancing at everybody I saw a half-naked Ralph over there and let me just say this he's...hot!Like hot mamacita hot.I'd be damned.But...I have a boyfriend whom I like very much.

"You look good by the way."I looked at Kendrick."I always look good.Shut up."Then we got in line and waited for our names to be announced."Kendrick Qurtale and his date Rose Monroe."We walked in and we walked to our spot.Then name by name everybody got their diploma.Parents were proud.Then it was time for the dance.We all got to our positions and when the song started we moved with it."What will you do next year?Who will you go with?"I started to think about it."I don't know.But the year after this year I have options.Like there is James's friends.Then there is Mel's friends.I haven't decided which gender I'm going with yet."We chuckled."You are very idecisive."I rolled my eyes."Tell me about it.Being bi sucks sometimes."I dramatically rested my head on his chest then looked back at him."So...this is your last moments in this school.How does it feel?"He laughed."Funny story actually.Uhm...this isn't my last year in the school.It's only my last year as a student."

"Whoa.Hold on there tiger.What?"He took a deep breath."I'm coming back as the herbology teacher next year.Herbology professor has been mentoring me and headmaster Lyre said that I could be the second professor next to the real herbology professor.After I have enough exprience with you crazy kids the herbology professor is retiring."I chuckled.Then those chuckles turned into a laugh."That is crazy!Oh my God."The song was over and I hugged him tight."I'm so happy you're staying."He sighed."I'm happy too."

The night went pretty great.Then I went back tot he club tower with a drunk Kendrick."Never drink if I'm the only company you have.I am begging you.Never drink and depend on me Kendrick.My heels hurt.Though I did get some not pretty drunk pictures."He laughed and hiccups started to interrupt him.

Next morning I was at the Bay family's door."Come in idiot."I came in and then his mother appeared out of nowhere."Hey hun!You're back!"She gave me a nice hug."Is Mr.Bay also here with you?"She shook her head."Nope.Last minute call.He's at work.But he'll be back for dinner."I thanked her and we went up to Dexter's room."You will never believe the pictures I got from last night's ball."As I showed the pictures his jaw dropped one more inch with every photo."Oh my God.This...this is gold."I nodded."I know dumdum!"Then the doorbell rang."I'll take it.""Thanks hun."I opened the door and there she was.Karen."Hey girl!"We hugged."Uh...come in.Not my house.But...come in."I yelled at Dexter to come down from the stairs.We all settled in the living room.

"I haven't seen you in almost two years besides that weird facetime."I sighed."Yeah.I'm sorry.Abroad school and relatives.I'm not staying very long this time either.Only two weeks.Then I have to go."She sighed."Well then...you better get your asses ready for several parties I plan to attend this week and the following.You two are joining every one of them."I looked at Dexter."I mean I'm down for it if Rose is.""I'm down if you are down.So...are we down?"We stared at each other."I guess we are down."He said turning to Karen."You two better get ready.Tonight's party is in two hours.I need to go.I'll pick you two up in and hour."Then she just...left."An hour?I can work with that."I turned to Dexter."Can you?"He nodded.We went to the kitchen."Mom we're skipping dinner tonight.Karen invited us to this party and those mundanes are just...awesome when they're drunk."

"Drink one sip and I will find out you two."I nodded and we went up to change.And all I could say is that I look FABULOUS!I even sent a picture of the two of us to Peter.He sent me a picture with him and his mom in pyjamas.God they are so cute together.

We left and Karen was waiting for us when we came back.We all squeezed into her car and she drove.The party looked like a classic high school serie party.I got hit on quiet a lot.Sometimes I just showed them my middle finger and they left after a vulgar insult that I definitely didn't care about.At the end of the night I got drunk Dexter to home.He just drank a cup of beer.That's not even a fll bottle!It just doesn't add up.He's so lightweight.And that happened at the every party we went to.Different place,different outfit,same people,same result.It became a loop.But it was fun messing with those boys who hit on me.

It was finally time for me to go home to my dragons and my family.I missed them a lot.Staying here with a hungover Dexter all day everyday was more boring then our usual equal time.But I loved it regardless.
