Both arms linked in Alex and Jack's, the sandwich made our way back into the school and down the halls with Zack and Rian walking closely behind. My heart thudded loudly in my chest as my heart tightened. Oh my God it was going to happen.

I never could imagine the day when everyone found out that Alex was my brother, mostly because I thought it would never happen. I think it would be chaotic, people using me to get to him. I thought I would feel happy. But I just felt like a nervous wreck. I didn't know what was going to happen nor how everything was going down, and this for some reason bothered me.

The music drifted throughout the halls, the bass from some crappy pop song thumped in my ears as we neared the entrance.

"Not if you want to get arrested you pervs," I commented on Rian and Zack's conversation on seeing if they could pick up any of the girls here. What a bunch of asses.

The gymnasiums doors were wide open and stopped by bricks, streamers and tinsel looking stuff covered the doorway instead. Alex saw my hesitation as we neared it.

"You okay?" He asked, looking at me nervously. And for once, I knew I was.

I nodded and swallowed. Alex smiled, giving me an encouraging push as Zack peeled back the curtain and we entered the gym.

No one knew what to make of the scene. It was one of those moments when one person looked to see who entered then did a double take before staring open mouthed and in complete shock. This attracted their friend or date and had them see who had come in, thus creating the domino effect of complete surprise. Soon the whole dance stopped, including the DJ, and stared wide eyed at the group of five who stood in front of the door way.

"OH MY GOD!" Some fangirl in the middle of the crowd screamed. "ITS ALL TIME LOW!"

immediately about fifty girls ran up to the boys and started demanding pictures, autographs, and even a dance.I was once forgotten and was being pushed away and out of the circle by the fangirls. Zack noticed this rather quickly and pushed the girls away enough to grab me by the wrist and pull me back to the group. Alex was already trying to calm the girls down, putting his arms out in front of him as he told them to back up and quiet down. When that didn't work, Alex gradually made his way to the DJ set up and grabbed a mic. The boys followed suit, Zack dragging me along. The dance circled in on the guys, the annoying fangirls taking over the front row. Alex spoke.

"Hey guys were All Time Low," Alex said. He smirked as about the whole school erupted in cheering. "How is everyone?" Such a crowd pleaser.

When everyone calmed down, they started shooting him questions about singing and if the band will play, even started shouting song requests for them to play. Alex glanced at me, as if he were pondering it. He shook his head.

"Sorry guys," he said. "But we are not here to play for you tonight." The crowd actually made noises of disappointment. Hello, who cares if they weren't playing? All Time Low was at their fucking school dance! Who the fuck would care if they weren't going to sing?

"Actually," Alex said. "We came here to take my sister to the dance." The crowd cheered, but quickly died down when they finally processed everything. "apparently, she couldn't find a date."

Jack pushed next to Alex and motioned for the mic. Alex gave him a questionable humored look before holding out the mic for Jack. In an innocent Jack tone, he stated, "I get first dance."

Alex laughed once, "Alright then. DJ play a song for these two." He motioned to me and Jack and I blushed. Some of the guys whistled, making me want to punch Alex in the balls.

"Come on, go," Alex said playfully nudging me.

"Hell no," I hissed lowly so only he could hear. "I am not dancing with Barakat."

"I came all the way from California to take you to the dance, you can at least stop being a bitch for three minutes and dance with Jack" Alex raised, well attempted, his eyebrows. I gave an aggravated sigh.

"Fine."

Jack was already in the middle of the dance floor waiting patiently for me. A crowd had already formed around him. Everyone watched as me and Jack danced to a slow song. When it ended, they cheered and Alex took his spot and danced to a faster song.

"'Cuse me, excuse us, MOVE!" I heard Tiffany say as she pushed through the crowd that was still somewhat formed around us. "OMG Dylan hi!" She said to me, blowing air kisses on either side of my face. "Don't you look gorgeous!"

"What the actual fuck," I said. "What the hell do you want?"

"Oh don't be silly!" Tiffany giggled. She shot glances at Alex, obviously waiting for them to be introduced.

"Oh Alex this is Tiffany," I turned and said to him. He raised his eyebrows in surprise and laughed once. I turned to Tiffany, putting on the best bitchy look I could manage. "Tiffany, this is my brother, Alex Gaskarth."

"It is so nice to meet-" Tiffany said, turning all her attention to Alex and started becoming a whore right there in front of him. She put out her hand for him to kiss, but Alex interrupted her by laughing hysterically and walking away. Tiffany glared at me.

Tiffany stared in disbelief after Alex, some kids started laughing at her from it. She huffed before shooting me a glare and stomping away. I joined in on Alex's hysterical laughter.

"Hey," Lacey said excitedly appearing at my side.

"Hey," I answered, trying to stop laughing.

"Did that just happen?" She asked.

"Yes, it did," and we both laughed.


The night was enjoyable for the most part. I danced with each one of the boys individually, most of it during slow songs. Blah. Towards the end of the night, we decided to all dance together and was basically just a big ball of jumbled limbs turning around in a circle. Girls kept coming up to me and acting like we've been friends forever, of course I dismissed them. When not dancing with me, the boys found girls to dance with, but only if their dates were fine with it. Tiffany was never one of those girls, even though she tried. overtime she would saunter up to one of them and ask to dance, they would burst out laughing in her face like Alex did the first time and walk away. Everyone started teasing her about it and she soon left. The guys actually came up and asked for me to tell them who it was okay to dance with, so I told them and pointed them out, and reminded them to behave.

It was all fun. Towards the end, I gave the guys permission to start signing autographs and take pictures with everyone. They protested this, of course, wanting apparently to be the "best damn dates I ever had" and what not. After having a heated argument over it, we finally settled on a time limit of thirty minutes, in which i took that time to escape to the bathroom and fix my makeup.

When I walked in, a group of girls crowd the sinks laughing and immediately looked over as I entered. They gave me welcomed smiles and hung over me like a perfumed fog. They obviously had been talking about me and the guys when I walked in. Aw shit.

"Can I have some privacy?" I turned and snapped. Instead of giving me the look of which said they thought I was a bitch, they smiled like I just threw a bucket of compliments on their heads and walked away. What the hell.

I always wanted Alex to let the world know I was his sister because I thought it would ease the tormenting. Maybe that was the easier alternative. For now on I was going to have people up my butt constantly and kissing my ass to try to get good with me so they can get to Alex and the rest of All Time Low. Shit, what did I get myself into?

I capped my lip gloss as the thirty minutes neared and left the bathroom to have one more dance with my brother before he disappeares tomorrow morning to get back to work.
