Gwen's POV
(The day of the dance)
I invited Bridgette and La Shawna over to my house around the middle of the day to get ready. Bridgette was going with Geoff and Lashawna was going with Harold which was surprising. Both of them were careful not to mention what happened the other day.
"So Gwen, are you excited to go to your first homecoming?" Bridgette asked.
Before I could answer..
"Of course she is! She's been waiting all week for this!" Lashawna yelled. I made a face.
Bridgette laughed "So what are you gonna to wear?"
I looked at Lashawna expectantly before I answered, she gave me a sour look and went into the bathroom.
"I have this silver dress that my mom bought me for her wedding but I never wore it because I refused to go to her wedding"
"Oh,why didn't you want to go?"
"You wouldn't have wanted to go either if you knew the guy she was marrying" I said thinking back to how much I hated Steven.
"Okay well...can I see the dress?" she asked trying to change the subject.
"Sure" I said going to the closet to take out the plastic covered hanger. I yanked the dress out and held it out for show. Lashawna came back
"Whoo! Now that's a nice dress!"
I laughed.
"It really is, I wish I had something like that" (Bridgette)
"You'll look fine girl, and I know I'm going to be looking fine too" Lashawna said taking out cheetah printed dress.
"Wow, I hope Harold doesn't have a heart attack when he sees you in that" I say.
"Harold knows we're just going as friends" she adds with a hint of annoyance.
"Yeah but you know that he's going to be fantasizing about all day" Bridgette says and we both laugh.
Trent's POV
"Man, I don't think I have one single tux!" I yelled frustrated while rummaging through my closet.
"Chill dude, just rent one" Geoff adds coolly.
"That's easy for you to say you already have yours."
"That's what you get for waiting last minute to ask Gwen, can't say I didn't tell you."
I looked at the clock.
"Okay, I still have time to go look for one. Let's go" I say grabbing my jacket.
"Hey wait up!"
We took Geoff's car all the way to this decent size city, where we could find a mall or a men's store.
(In the store)
"How about this one?"
"I don't know man they all look the same to me" Geoff said sitting on the chair outside the fitting room with, his arm propped up on the armrest cupping his face in boredom.
"Yeah, you're a lot of help."
"Just get that, one it looks fine,it looks awesome, can we leave now?" he says sarcastically.
"Fine, I have a tie at home so I don't need this one" I say tossing the corny looking tie.
"You have a tie but not a suit?"
"Shut up Geoff, okay let's get out of here."
(At home)
Geoff left to pick up Bridgette, I was happy to be rid of him right now. I got ready in like twenty minutes and looked at the clock. Just on time.
I walk over to Gwen's house and knock on the door.
"I'll get it dad!" I hear her yell.
"Okay have a good time!" he yells back.
She opens the door and this time I forget to not stare. She's wearing this silver dress and her hair is up curled to the side. She's the most beautiful I've seen her,and that's saying something.
"Wow"
"Likewise" she says gesturing to me.
"So,you ready to go to homecoming lady in silver?" I tease.
"I am if you don't call me that. You driving?"
"Of course" I say and put my arm out. She takes it and I lead her to the car.
Gwen's POV
(At the dance)
"I don't know how you got tickets last minute, this place is packed" I say looking at all the kids from are school dressed up and going inside.
"Um... I kind of got tickets right after you left school that day" he said sheepish.
"Oh so you assumed I would say yes?"
"Lighten up Gwen at least I didn't risk it" he said smiling and pecked me before leading me toward the opening.
I made a face but let it go.
"Trent! Gwen wait up!" I heard someone yell. I turn around to see Bridgette and Geoff behind us.
"What's up dude!" Geoff said pounding fists with Trent,then putting his arm around Bridgette.
"Come on you guys, I think Lashawna and Harold are already inside" Bridgette urged.
"Okay,okay" I said following her and tugging Trent with me.
We entered the gym.(Yes the homecoming dance was in the gym,but what are you gonna do?) The lights were dimmed and everyone in the middle of the dance floor swayed their bodies as the music pounded. We made our way to the tables.
"Look, there's Lashawna and Harold" I said pointing to the table where they were seated.
"Come on Lashawna, let me show you my mad dance skills" Harold said moving his fists from his chest and back. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay string beans I'll give you one chance to show me what you got"
"Yes!" he cheered pulling is elbow pack. They waved as they left.
"I got to go see that. Come on Bridge!" Geoff called.
"Geoff!" she said following him unwillingly.
"You don't want to go?" Trent asked.
"No thanks"
He laughed "Okay,I'll get us something to drink wait here"
"Cool" I said and watched him make his way through the crowd and disappear. I cupped my hand to my face and looked at the chair bored.
"Look who decided to show up."
I look up to see the last thing I wanted to see.
"Trent should have tied you to the table to make sure you don't run off again" Heather mocked.
"Oh look everyone it's Heather, what a joy" I said in monotone.
"Don't push it goth girl" she said angry now holding a glass of red liquid "My hand might just slip on your pretty dress."
"You wouldn't" I said clenching my teeth together.
"No?" she smiled and threw the contents of her glass on my lap.
"Oops, I'm sorry did I hit you?"
"You bitch!" I said getting up from my chair ready to pounce, when I felt someones hand on my arm. Bridgette.
"Don't do it Gwen she's not worth it."
"Yeah listen to the surfer girl" Heather taunted.
"There's a bathroom around the building, let's go" she urged before she decided to let go of my arm.
"Fine" I spit in Heather's direction and followed Bridgette. She started laughing and that almost made me turn back, but I didn't want this to ruin tonight.
Trent's POV
I come back to the table where Gwen stayed, with drinks. The table was empty. I double checked to see if I was at the wrong table. Nope.
I found Geoff and asked him.
"Hey Geoff. Have you seen Gwen?"
"Um I think she went with Bridge to the bathroom. Hey I'm gonna talk to Tyler."
"Yeah, I'll wait for them" I said.
I waited for a couple minutes and decided to go look for them. I walked out the side door to the girl's bathroom. It was dark out. Then I heard it, a scream.
I started to run,but I didn't see anything until I got to the parking lot.
I saw Bridgette and Gwen terrified, looking in the same direction. I force myself to look too.
Duncan. He was holding a gun and pointing it at them, then he looked at me.
"Oh Elvis you're here too?" he laughed drunkenly and dropped his aim.
"Now I need to decide to shoot you, or you're little tramp" he managed to say. I tensed, and started to walk towards him slowly.
"Man Elvis! You get any closer and I'll shoot the tramp" he said pointing back at Gwen.
"Come one Duncan, you don't want to do this."
"Yes I do" he said smiling crookedly.
"Do you really want to go to jail?"
"I'm not going to jail."
"What makes you think so?"
"Magic" he said dropping his aim again and waved his gun, making Gwen and Bridgette flinch. I advanced since he was distracted.
"Dammit Elvis!" he said and shot Gwen.
"Aaahhhhh!" Gwen shrieked.
"Nooooo!" I yelled and helplessly watched her fall.
Duncan fell too. Drunk.
I ran first to him to take the gun, then to Gwen and Bridgette.
"Gwen, Gwen!" Bridgette yelled, taking out her phone to call 911.
I hold her to me "Gwen, Gwen don't close your eyes please don't close your eyes!" I urged as she started to turn purple.
