"Hey Savannah, do you hear someone crying?" asked Lucy.
"Yeah, we should give her some space. Let's go".
(Door Swings)


Wow, they're either nice or I'm really pathetic. Yeah, I'm think I'm pathetic. I'm sitting in a bathroom stall crying my eyes out. At first, I wasn't this emotional. But something just totally came over me.
Kyle, I like you.


"I finally finished crying. I should wash my hands".


"Hmm? Did someone just peak in here? Maybe it was those two girls. But anyways that's creepy, I'm leaving".


Asia stood in the gym shooting some hoops. She wasn't ready to go home yet because she already knew what would be awaiting if she did. An angry father.
"Hey! You're not suppose to be in here at this time! What's your name?"


Asia scared out her mind ducked her head. She thought about running but she's not good at it.
"Hehe, gotcha!" Flint said as he walked in.
"Oh my god, you are such a jerk!" Asia said furious.
She picked up the basketball and started shooting again.


"But you really aren't allowed in here PRESIDENT", Flint said emphasizing her.
"I know. I'm just not ready to leave and I want to stay longer", Asia said as she shot the ball through the hoop.
"Oh really".

"Then how about I just grab this from you?" Flint took the basketball and began running away with it.
"Hey! Get your own!" Asia chased after, slowly.
Flint decided to give since she was an awful runner.


"You know what?" Flint asked as he caressed her face.
"What?"
"You really are something" He laughed.
"Is that a compliment?" Asia said curiously.

I walked right out of the restroom nearly swinging Riley, Taylor's younger brother in the face. What the hell was he doing sitting in front of the door like that? I guess he wanted to get smacked.
"Oh my gosh, I almost hit you. Are you okay?" I asked feeling bad. I didn't want to break the poor guy's glasses.
"Oh no I'm fine. I shouldn't have been standing there", he smiled.
Riley is so kind. Nothing even like Taylor. How are they related again? Maybe he's secretly adopted from Asia or something. The boy is smart.
"Okay, good. Now I don't feel so bad. I gotta go, later", I said as walked past Riley.


"Wait!" Riley shouted. I jumped, I wonder what he wanted. "Mimi, I know this is sudden but do you have a date to Homecoming?"
"W-what?" I was confused.
I barely knew anything about Riley and he was asking me to the dance out of the blue. How strange. We've only had small idle chatter in Middle School and nothing more. Where's this coming from?


"Mimi I've liked you ever since the first time I laid eyes on you", Riley said. "Please go out with me and be my girlfriend".
"Whoa...Riley. We barely know each other", I said a little scared.
"What do you mean? I know everything about you. Your favorite color is blue, you love to dance and sing, you use strawberry shampoo in your hair, you like grape bubblegum, and you like Kyle Hammon. And I can tell you that I am better than that guy, so give me a chance", Riley said.
"Riley...how do you know all of that?" I said. I'm truly creeped out right now.
"My sister told me".


"You're lying unless your sister is a stalker. And she doesn't have time for that."
"Mimi please!" Riley shouted.
"I'm saying no".
"Mimi!"
"Get a-away!" I said as I backed up into someone's arm. But I think the arm rather grabbed me.


Oh my god Dad, I'm sorry I said no to carrying around a tasor with me.
"She said no, so back off".


"I'm sorry, I just wanted her to go to Homecoming with me", Riley said.
"Well get over it, she's going with me since she's my girlfriend", Anthony snapped.

Am I dreaming or does Anthony Luca have his arm wrapped around me right now? I think I'm going to be sick. And he called me his girlfriend. I did always dream about it before.
(Ba-dump Ba-Dump Ba-Dump)


"Are you going to get lost or do I have to beat you until you do?" Anthony asked.
"No! My bad. I didn't know that Mimi had a boyfriend. I'll stay away. Sorry", Riley walked away fast. I bet he was scared out of his mind. Anthony is pretty tall after all. Hm, I wonder if he's ever fought before.


For a while I was spacing that I didn't even notice Anthony staring me blank in the face.
"W-hat?!" I said all surprised.
"Nothing...just wondering, are you high right now cause your eyes are red".
"Of course not! That's not the case. I have...allergies", I lied. I didn't want to tell him I was crying in a bathroom. That would sound lame.
"Oh, okay", He said it pretty plain. Maybe saying I have allergies is even lamer, "And sorry I called you my girlfriend. I just wanted that guy to get lost".
"I understand".


"Mimi?"
"Um, yeah?" I said.
"You gotta a date to Homecoming yet?" Anthony asked quickly.
"Are you asking me to go with you?" I asked anxiously.
"Of course not!"


"I'm kidding. Yeah, I'm asking you", Anthony said looking away for a second. I think he's super shy.
"Wow, you and Kyle really are best friends. And yeah, I'll go with you", I said.
"Alright sweet!"
"But! You better dance with me Anthony", I said. Knowing that Anthony seems a little a shy, who knows if he likes dancing at all.
"Definitely", Anthony said softly.

"Gosh! You scared me. I thought you were going to say no to dancing with me".
"Why would I say no? I can dance".
"I don't know, because you seem shy I guess".
"Oh really?"
"Really"
"Well, let's just say you don't know me yet!"


"Then let me get to know!"
"Okay, let me get to know you too".
"Sure. As long as your not like Riley from a second a ago, that should be cool".
"What did he say?"
"Um.."


"Oh come on! How am I suppose to know if you don't tell me?"
"It's embarrassing!"
"Fine, then no excuses if I become like him".

"Good", Kyle whispered.

"Oh! Hey Coach!" Flint grinned.
Asia blushed and wanted to disappear.
"Get the hell out of my gym!" Coach Durham yelled.
