Everyone gathered to the center of the gym. I pushed to the front and saw what was happening. Freddie and his so called "girlfriend" Mary were having an argument. "Did you really think I would go to dance with a loser like you?" Mary said to Freddie, laughing her head off. "So you were lying?" He asked her. "DUH" she answered. "That bitch" I whispered to myself. She spent all her time making other peoples' lives miserable. I still remember in 5th grade when she told all these rumors about me. Freddie and Carly were the only ones who stood up for me. I could hear people laughing at Freddie. "It's time to return the favor" I say to myself. I go up to Mary and slap her in the face. "You bastard, making peoples' lives miserable every day." I say to her. "Well look who's here, its Puckett, standing up for her friend." She said to me. "Well, so what if I'm a bully, I'm not the one who wrote love notes to Jay Bryce!" Mary said to everyone. They all started laughing at me. It hurt my feelings, but I'm a Puckett, were brave and we never back down. I started running towards her and tackled her. I gave her a punch that she ought to remember. "That's what you get, for being an ugly, scary, and greedy brat" I say to her. I feel a tear run down my cheek. I turn around and walk out the gym. I go outside and sit on the pavement. What the hell did I do?

I can't believe Sam did that for me, I think to myself. She's never done this before. Everything begins again. Mary goes and dances with one of the football players, the music is playing, and people are talking again. I leave the gym to go find Sam. She deserves a thank you, I say to myself. After looking in multiple places I see her. Sitting on the pavement, in a shiny purple dress, and crying. I open the door. "Hey" I say to her. "Hey" she says back. I sit down next to her. "Thanks for what you did" I say to her. "What did I do" she asks. "Standing up for me when Mary was insulting me in front of the whole school." I answer. She chuckles, "That was nothing, and I just wanted to return the favor from 5th grade." "Well thanks anyways" I say to her as I stand up. I hear the song "On Your Side" and I know what I should do.

I can't believe he came to me, I think to myself. It's a miracle. "Hey" he says. "What else?" I ask him. He stretches out his hand. "Wanna dance?" he asks me. "Sure" I say and grab his hand. He pulls me up and puts his arms around my waist while I put mine around his neck. We dance a while to "On Your Side" and then he kisses me, and I kiss him back.
