From the first time she met him sophomore year she could tell he was going to either be the best thing that happens to her or the worst. Ally thought to herself sitting with a group of her closest girlfriends who were all babbling uncontrollably. Until a thin porcelain hand was waving non stop in her face did she truly hear what was being said. "Earth to Ally, hey you there, HELLO." Looking at the other girls each had a blank stare but were to shy to say anything thank god for Ash a slender girl with straight red hair who was without a doubt the boldest friend she had out there by far. "Guys I think we might have lost her. Quick, somebody slap her out of it."

Caroline tried to life her arm but with one look thought better of it and sat back down. "Sorry guys guess I was just thinking about homecoming next Saturday I think that I might not go." Seeing each look more hurt than the next she quickly countered. "I mean since Chris just dumped me and all not really sure I'm ready to go with anyone else."

Each girl gave a quick "hey you don't need a date," or "he doesn't know what he is missing out on." Truth is she had broken up with Chris not the other way around. He had wanted her to get serious with him since they had been dating for close to a year on and off and she just wanted someone to have fun with. They were still young after all no reason to be getting to serious they had not even graduated yet. Ally had always prided herself on being strong, independent and smart. A well known leader among her friends and someone that they could turn to when times got tough.

"Screw that I have an even better idea what if we all went together who says we need a date to make us happy. Ally you should know that better of any of us. Why let Chris have the control lets go looking hot and make him wish he had never broken your heart in the first place." Ash proclaimed. "Besides I already have a dress and it looks great on me and I'm not going without my best-friend and I bet everyone can agree to that." Even Caroline the tom boy of the group had to agree.

Looking from face to face to face seeing the glimmer of hope in each of her friends eyes how could she let them down. They had been there when she had needed them the most.  Ally had been there for each girl from the time they first got to the school, they had secrets and embarrassing moments enough to last a lifetime. "That is a great idea Ash! Maybe, we should go dress shopping Friday we could go to my moms work she always has the cutest dresses and can get us a discount. Then maybe talk about makeup and how we are going to do our hair."

Each girl nodded their approval before leaving to go to their next class while only one thing was on Allys mind. How would she get to know him.

*******************************************************************************************************************

Friday night each girl arrived with their classic sleepover supplies. Makeup, money and lots of junk food. Thankfully even Caroline had agreed that tonight could be set aside for the girls to have their confessions. While they looked nervous Ally knew exactly what she was going to say once it got to be her turn.

First Ash went confessing that she had a crush on Chris. This was to be expected she had oogled him from across the cafeteria multiple times but it didnt make any diffrence. Chirs was on the market and could date whoever he wanter and it just so happened that he had been talking about her too. They both agreed to give it some time before Ash would try to date him but if he did like her she would give her blessing for them to move forward into a relationship.

Next Mirra Confessed that she had fallen out of love with her boyfriend of almost two years Dillon. This again was no supprise with how controlling he had gotten. Ally had tried to warn of this before they had started dating but Mirra loved to believe the  best in people and therefor ignored Ally's please. Mirra then stated how she believed that if she tried to get out that he would go crazy and follow her.

Then Caroline confessed that she had cheated at her tennis match. She always had they worst confessions to share so each girl just stared untill she confessed that she cheated by using performance enhancers which made every girl give her an applaud and move on.  Also that she had tripped her opponet so that she could not make the final shot but no one had said anything cause she was the number one player.

Cat confessed that she was seeing an older man and that her mom had no idea that they were together and would not approve if she did. Emmy, Cats practical twin in every possible way confessed that she was passing her way through chemsitry by flirting with the young teachers assistant and that they had started to see each other but that no one was supposed to find out.

Meg confessed that she was stuffing her bra to impress her crush, Brit then confessed that she was starting to be attracted to girl more and more and had no idea what to do about it. Both we overlooked since Meg had always had small boobs and Brit was caught behind the bleachers with a girl last year and everyone had already said they would love her no matter what.

Then it was finally Allys turn what was she supposed to say that she had dumped Chris. No Ash would just go running to him and their aggreement would be off. Could she tell them she had lost weight by not eating as much as she should and over excersing not if she wanted that to be a secret. Finally it hoped into her head the one thing she could say and that they would agree to keep quiet. "I have a crush on the new guy and he wont even look my way." Each girl looked shocked and seemed like they wanted to say how crazy he must be if he didnt notice her but thats not what she wanted. "My confession if that I am willing to do almost anything to make him mine."
