Chapter 2 - A Blade In The Dark

One after the other, limousines would stop at the main entrance of the school dropping off numerous groups of kids, boys and girls, all dressed smart and glamorous. The very last limousine to arrive was a long, baby pink one, with tainted windows and balloons tailing from it tied to the handles. It pulled up right at the path, leaving no space for any other car to get in. The chauffeur left his car and took the long walk to the other end of the car. There he opened the door towards him, leaving it for the three beautifully dressed girls to exit.

It was the most beautiful night for Spring Fling. The moon was full and lit the entire sky, there was no need for the street-lights, without them it could have been bright as day. The stars were all out, there wasn't a cloud in the sky to cover them up or distract the view. It was chilly, and the wind blew a little, but there was no rain, no snow and no storm, the perfect night.

In there own time each of the three girls exited the limousine. First, Karen Smith. She wore a light blue dress that covered her ankles. She stepped up onto the side-walk and waited for the other two girls. She stood, absorbing the attention as though being flooded by paparazzi. Gretchen Weiners followed her. She wore an almost identical dress to Karen, only it was in green. She walked gracefully to the other side of the path from Karen and waited for the final girl. She came out the car like a princess from her carriage. The chauffeur held out his hand for her to take it and help her to her feet. Her smile went from ear to ear. She was overwhelmed at seeing so many people in their best clothes, she found it hard to hold back her tears.

Cady's spectacular white gown lit up the surrounding area even more than the moon and the street lights, it's dazzle could be seen in by-passers eyes as the sparkles caught their attention. Her red hair blew through the wind, she truly looked remarkable, like an angel.

From a distance a familiar pair of eyes watched the girls as they approached the front door. Aaron lent against Eddy's car. He stood in the shadows of the car park, none of the lights were on at all there. The anger was still there. He would wait for Regina all night if he had to. He had to let her know how he really felt, she couldn't treat him like dirt anymore. They were finished for good, and she needed to be reminded of that. No matter what it took. The veins in his arms were bulging. Both of his hands were tucked into his trouser pockets. His hair was scruffy, he hadn't even thought to try fix it, his mind was elsewhere.

He felt sudden relief as he saw the beautiful Cady Heron leave the car and glamorously stroll to the other girls. A smile approached his face for the second time that night. Though the smile still felt distant to him. For him to really bare an honest smile he had to get rid of the bigger issues on his chest first.

Cady, Karen and Gretchen elegantly waltzed up the set of steps. Their dresses trailing a little behind them. Cady looked to her left, at Karen, smiling, then did the same to her right, to Gretchen. They both smiled back and Cady held out her arms, and they all linked up, ready to enjoy the best night of the year, together.
