Hello to all again and welcome to the third chapter of this story. Heads up for any one who is excited about the dance chapter, it is next chapter. So stay tuned. I do not own anything.

Chapter 3: Victoria's Dad and Telephone Call

An hour and half after I got home from cheerleading practice and took a shower, Dad came home. Weird, I thought, He always comes home at eleven.

After my mom died, my dad would spend about two hours with me, before he returned to his work. However after I turned nine, he started spending less and less time with me. Now, I would be lucky if I talked to him for at least seven minutes.

Like always he was on his Bluetooth, talking to someone from work. I just remained silent while read one of my magazines until he was finished. "So Dad, I'm in the running to be the freshmen's princess for the spring dance."

"That's great" he said while I was looking at my magazine again.

"Well, Rachel says that-"

"No, I think it's great decision to replace him." My dad said, in another call. As I noticed that he was checking his phone, I got out mine and being texting.

Dad, I'm in the running to be the freshmen's princess for the spring dance. Rachel says that everyone she knows voted for me and that I'm so going to win.

I then send the message to his phone. Three. Two. One.

"Really?" my Dad said after reading my text. "Did you already pick out a dress?"

He asked me that last week as well. I gave him the same answer. "Yep, already pick out."

"And did anyone ask you?" He said, wanting to know if anyone good looking asked me.

"Yes, just some hot air head jock." I said. Dad nodded in approved. He then talked for about five minutes about his day at work and how they replacing Joe Forrest because of accident back in October. I have no idea who is this guy or what on earth the accident was even about. Afterward, he went to room his room, starting to talk to someone on his Bluetooth again.

Five minutes later, the phone rang. I looked at the number. It was an unfamiliar number. "Hello" I said, answering.

"Hi, Victoria" It was Mark.

"Hi" I said in the nice voice.

"I just called to tell you that I think we should meet at dance." He said.

"How come?" I asked. This is too prefect.

"I have to do something beforehand" he said. "Also, should I pay for your ticket and what kind of flower do you want for a corsage?"

"Well, I already have my ticket so you don't have to worry about that. However, I don't know what flower I want exactly."

"I was thinking maybe a white rose since it goes with anything and respects purity. What do you think?" He said

"Sure, I'll see you at the dance." I said.

"Trust me; it will be a night to remember." He said before hanging up. However, I forgot to ask him what time should we meet. I press the call ID to call Mark back, but all I got was the busy dial. I tried to call three more times and then gave up. As I went upstairs to my room, I thought what it would be like if he was my date. He would hold my hand, smiling with his braces showing. Maybe he would even kiss me with his ugly face. All my friends would laugh at me. I shook off this though and then though how it will be like when he finds out the truth at the dance.

Oh yes Mark, it will be a night to remember.

So that was the third chapter, I hope you like it. Please comment and make sure you read the next chapter. It is going to be AWSOME! Also, I no longer need help with the gender-swap characters of Magda and Will. However, quick question: in the book, where exactly was Magda supposed to be from? I just want to know so I can get it right for the story. Thank and stay turned from the next chapter. Bye.
