Ok, Here we go!

The music was loud, and people were all around, Camryn was hot.  Not usually the word to describe her, but something was different tonight.  She was walking around talking and she went up to the principle to tell him something, he nodded his head, and she walked away looking almost triumphant.  What was she up to?

She had on a little black dress, she was wearing contacts, and cute high heeled shoes.  Nice legs for a brainy chick. 

She danced with her friends and danced with Dean.  When she wasn't dancing she was mingling with the rest of the Ducks at two adjoining tables.  This didn't even remotely resemble the person she was not a few months ago.  It suited her.  She looked happy.

Ainsley danced with her beaux Adam.  You couldn't even separate those two, the same was with Jessica and Charlie and DeAnna and Fulton.  Every one was having a great time.  Then she spotted him.  Jacob, he entered, with is baldhead.  A sign, not to mess with the ducks.  He still had his swagger and the crowd parted a little bit as they met in the middle of the room.

"What is this?"  He asked.  Speaking of her dancing with Dean. 

"Is there a problem?"  I asked.

"Yes there is!"  He yelled.  "My car is ruined, my head is shaved, and I woke up to a Rat in my closet, and a dead fish in my locker!!" 

"Really, did you wash your hands?"  I said.

The crowd snickered around me.

"Now you are dancing with this jerk, who if you don't remember kissed someone else!"  He said. 

Dean's jaw tightened, and his hands balled into fists.

"Are you going to be his next whore?!"  He yelled at me.

One by one, the ducks stood up:  Charlie, Fulton, Russ, Les, Guy, Kenny, Goldberg, Dwayne, Julie, Connie, and Adam, in duck hockey masks.  Dean was behind me.

This time my hand balled into a fist. 

The crowd gasped he looked around at them then back to me to see my fist coming in his direction.

As if in slow motion, my right hand crossed in front of me, connecting to the lower corner of the right side of his jaw.  His head swung around and fluid came out of his mouth.

"What the freak was that for."  He yelled at me.

The room was then silent, and then a voice came over the speakers.

"So did you seal the deal?"

"NO!" he said.

"Loosing your touch are you?" She said mocking his anger.

"No, she is into this love stuff, and says 'I don't even know her."  That is a load of crap.  I spend so much time with her how can I not know her.

  "Can't even get it from a geek anymore.  Do you care to know her?" she asked.

"No not really, she is starting to bore me, but now it is a matter of pride.  I don't really even give a damn about her.  I just want her before Dean can have her.  He's a stuck up, pompous prick, and I just want him to know I got what he couldn't get first."  He let out a sick laugh.

"So what's that supposed to mean?!" He asked defensively.

"I think you are the one with the problem Jacob!  There is also something you should know.  I am not, was not nor will I ever be with you.  I am with Dean, you were just a poor substitute, while we had to figure out how much of a dirty stinking rat YOU are!"  I said.

The crowd started to cheer. 

"But there is something I would like to tell you.  I think my friend here can say it better."

"Mandy, will you tell him how it is?" I said

Thunder and lightning sounds and the music starts again

Mandy Moore enters the room, the crowd parts and she heads straight for them.

She sang:

When you looked at my face
You thought you could get me
You better look twice
It won't be that easy
Think it's because
You're a little older
All you'll get from me
Is my cold shoulder

You shouldn't judge
Someone by what you see
You may be wrong
Like you were about me

Too bad you judged me
By first sight
It's too late now
So kiss this chance goodnight

You say you want me
When you don't really know who I am
I don't wanna play no games
So catch me if you can

Didn't work out
The way that you planned
Bragged to your friends
Said you were the man
Now whatcha gonna do?
Since your pride is gone
Couldn't get this little girl
Now you're crying all alone

So please just go away

After the room was done cheering, silence slowly fell over the room again.

With smugness in my voice, all the anger, bitterness, and hatred for his actions and people like him, I said, "Take the lady's advice.  'Just go away'."
