Wally knocked on Layla's door. He straightened his tux and leant against the wall. Immediately standing straight when the door clicked and opened.

"Hi Wally." Layla blushed. Wally smiled.

"I'll be right back, I'm just getting my purse." Layla told him. She disappeared and came back with a small royal blue bag that matched her satin, royal blue dress that ended just below her knees. She wore dark blue heeled sandals to match and a blue and green corsage on her wrist.

She stepped out of the door and beamed as she latched onto Wally's arm as they began to walk towards the school.
Layla beamed as they got near to the school and she saw some of her friends. She gave them a wave.

"Come on Wally let's go hang out." Layla told him, pulling onto his arm. Wally followed her.

Layla led him under the school tree where some of her friends and their dates were stood.

"Layla you look awesome!" One of the girls beamed.

Layla smiled. "Thankyou. You too. Uh, have you guys met Wally? Wally, this is Minnie and her date Carl, Meg and her date Sam and that's Jimmy and Katie."

Wally nodded at them politely.

"So, anybody fancy making this dance a little more fun?" Jimmy smirked, pulling a bottle of alcohol from behind his back. "I swiped it from my old man's cabinet."

Layla giggled and took a huge gulp when it was passed to her.

"Mo...Layla? What're you doing?" Wally exclaimed, lowering the bottle from her mouth.

Layla shrugged. "Just having a little fun."

"Yeah, well you shouldn't drink!" Wally took it off her and handed it to Carl.

Layla tutted and rummaged through her purse, she put something in her mouth, getting a foul smell, Wally turned his head to look at her.

"Whoa! You smoke?" He chocked. Taking the cigarette from her mouth and throwing it to the floor.

"What's up with you dude? Anybody who's anybody smokes and drinks." Sam said, glaring at Wally.

"Yeah Wally, you sound like my mum!" Layla sighed.

Wally sighed and began to walk away. His mother had always told him to stay clear of those kind of kids. But she was one of those kind of kids. Should he really leave her alone?
Stepping into the doorway he felt a tug on his arm and turned around to see Layla.

"Sorry." She smiled. "I know you're just looking out for me, it's so sweet."

She leaned forward. Wally stepped back but Layla slipped her hand behind his head and pressed her lips against his. He panicked, he couldn't escape.

They broke apart and Layla didn't look happy.

"What's wrong?" Wally asked.

Layla pulled a guilty face. "Wally this is awkward. I don't know what it is but, when I kissed you then, it was like...I don't know, kissing a brother or something...I'm sorry. That doesn't make sense does it?"

Wally nodded. "S...Sure it does."
It made perfect sense to him.

Before Wally knew it he was pulled backwards and shoved up against the wall.

"You know what buddy...I'm...a...I'm getting pretty sick of you!" Monty slurred at him.

Layla pulled on Monty's shoulder. "Monty let him go! You're drunk!"

"Hey, look at that!" Monty grinned at Layla, grabbing her arm and dragging her towards the school doors. "I think you owe me a dance."

"Get off me!" Layla shouted.

"Hey! Back off!" Wally snarled, Monty's friends grabbed him and pulled him aside.

Monty cornered Layla and leant towards her.

"She said get off!" Steve said as he grabbed Monty, throwing him aside.

Monty turned around and snarled. "This doesn't concern you Beatles so why not just beat it!"

Wally struggled in the boys' grips, he finally got lose and punched one, knocking him out. He then began to fight with the other two.

"No Monty! Leave her alone!" Steve said bravely, he shook as he squared up to Monty and stared him in the eyes.

Monty gave an evil chuckle and grabbed Steve by the arm, twisting it behind his back violently.

Layla shrieked. "Monty stop it! You;ll break his arm! Get off him!"
She ran over and tried to pull Monty off, Monty just pushed her to the ground.
A rush of anger went through Steve, he balled his hand up into a fist and swung. Hitting Monty on the jaw. Monty fell back and hit his head on the wood of the doorway, he fell unconscious on the ground.

After Wally had left one of Monty's friends crying and pleading for mercy on the floor, the other one ran off. Wally ran towards where Layla and Monty were but stopped in his tracks when he saw Steve and Layla.

"Are you okay?" Steve asked, helping Layla up.

Layla nodded and smiled. "Thankyou...Don't I owe you a dance?"

Steve blushed and nodded. They went inside, hand in hand while other people rushed to aid Monty. Wally smiled, taking out his bus pass. His face was starting to become more visible. Wally walked inside and stood by the door, watching his parents dance. They were in the middle of the floor swaying slowly to the music, along with other couples. Wally stuck out his tongue in disgust as his parents kissed. It looked like his work here was done.

He started to walk out but felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around to see Layla.

"Hey, Wally I hope you don't mind, but Steve kind of asked if he could walk me home." Layla said.

Wally smiled. "Great, no problem." He glanced at his watch, "Look, I have to go."

"Will we ever see you again?" Layla asked.

Wally grinned. "You can bet on it. See you guys."
