  &quot;Preslie, can you hurry up? I can't feel my ass.&quot; I groaned, tapping my foot impatiently as I waited for her to finish curling my hair.
      &quot;Stop whining, you look amazing.&quot; She smiled as she finished the last strand. &quot;We've been waiting for tonight for so long and now it's finally here. How do you feel?&quot;
      &quot;We weren't waiting for it, you were.&quot; I rolled my eyes, standing up and taking a look at myself in the mirror. I had to admit that I did look pretty good.
      I liked my dress more than I thought now that I was all dressed up. For some reason, I was starting to get a little excited which was weird for me.
      &quot;You look so cute,&quot; Ocean smiled, coming over to Preslie and I by the vanity with her phone out ready for snapchat pictures

  I should probably explain what is going on.
      River embarrassed me in front of my whole school, then I ran out crying, then I kissed Dallas, then I ran away from him.

      &quot;Hey Eliza... um I'm just calling to see if you're okay. It's Dallas... by the way. You probably figured that so never mind. I don't really know how to leave voicemails, wow..... But anyways, I'm not sure why you ran off like that

  Preslie was going on all morning about the ball since it was just in a week. I wasn't surprised to hear her yapping off about it but eventually I was tired and irritated of talking about how she wanted to curl her hair so I left.

No students were allowed in there unless it was for a necessary reason but me being me, I somehow had a key. Not that I needed one because picking locks was a talent I had.

      I was leaning against the ba
