Kaylee smiled once more for a camera and held on tighter to Lamar's arm. Formal wear
always made her nervous. And as much as she wanted to, she wasn't having the magnificent
time she thought she'd be having. Lamar was just too much. Everyone wanted to talk or dance and all Kaylee wanted to do was sit. Despite all of that, however, she was enjoying spending time with Lamar. They'd never actually been on a date before. "Lamar, I'm gonna go find Isaac, okay?"

"Sure. I'll have that dance I promised Marcie."

Kaylee rolled her eyes, spontaneously kissed Lamar on the cheek, and made her way
across the school gym. When she spotted Isaac, he was hugged up with the vice president of
SADD. "Does she know you missed her last meeting?" She asked, pulling Isaac away.

"Jealous much?" He asked, playfully. Kaylee noticed he was smiling. Glowing almost.
Something she hadn't seen for months.

"Kinda." She admitted. She hadn't had a good snuggle in forever, "How'd you and Lisa
hook up anyway?"

He grinned, "She couldn't resist my charm."

"Hmm. I'm gonna go powder my nose. Lamar and I will meet up with you two in a few
minutes, okay?"

"Sure." Isaac replied, rejoining Lisa and adding, "I swear, you and your mirror..."

Kaylee was making her way to the bathroom when she saw her. The girl Lamar had been
talking about. She really was beautiful. Petite, elegant... the whole package. She was wearing a dark blue dress and had her hair up in curls. Kaylee definitely would have noticed if she'd been
around before. To her surprise, the girl turned and walked into the bathroom.

Trying not to feel like a stalker, Kaylee followed her. She was standing in front of the full
length mirror. She checked her image once, looked satisfied, and went into one of the stalls.
Kaylee fixed her hair and heard a noise behind her. She looked up to see the mystery girl
halfway out of a window. She then slipped out of it like she'd been escaping high school proms
all her life. "What the fuck?" Kaylee asked aloud, and before she could think, she left the
bathroom, and walked out the back door of the gym.

The girl was walking around the side of the building. Well, running, actually. Kaylee
followed her, but from a distance. After a couple of minutes, she lost sight of the girl. 30 seconds
later, the girl approached her from behind, "Why the hell are you following me?"

Kaylee jumped, then quickly regained her composure, "Why the hell are you climbing
out of bathroom windows?"

"Are you a vamp?"

"Am I a what?"

"Oh gawd... who are you?"

"Who are YOU?"

The girl sighed, "I'm Nina. Now, who are you?"

"Kaylee. You're not from around here are you?"

"Actually, I just moved here."

"You're not going to East Lakewood. Are you at West? Why are you at our prom?"

Nina smirked, "I just love the prom atmosphere. I don't go to either school. I dropped out
of my school five months ago when I was... Why were you following me again?"

"I heard about you." Kaylee confessed, "My friend... Um, date, actually, asked me about
a new girl he'd seen on campus."

"Your date? Tall, dark, and handsome? I saw you hanging all over him earlier."

"Hey! I don't hang all over Lamar." Kaylee felt a tad embarrassed until she noticed Nina
holding a stake. "Hey... Chick... pretty sure you're not supposed to have that."

Now Nina was embarrassed, "It's nothing."

"It's something."

"I found it. It was on the ground when I-" presume

Kaylee eyed the perfectly carved stake, "Who are you?"

"You needn't worry yourself, Kaylee."

"I think I need to. You could- You're bleeding!"

Nina looked down in surprise. Her dress was torn at the hip and a bit of blood was on her
side. "I'm fine. Let it go. Go back to your dance. Forget you ever came across me."

"I can't do that! What just happened?"

"Do you believe in evil, Kaylee?"

Kaylee's eyes widened at Nina's tone. "Talk to me."

She wasn't having the magnificent time she thought she'd be having.
