It was a Tuesday afternoon, one period left before everyone got out for the day, the trio sat busy taking notes on a video in the class…Donovan, sitting next to them was, as usual, not writing anything down. Gordo, just being friendly, turned to him…
"Hey man, this stuff is gonna be on a test, you might want to right this stuff down"
Don turned to look him right in the eye "that doesn't matter now, doesn't matter at all"
As he said that the P.A. system rang out, "Donovan Kade, please come to the office ASAP, thank you"
Don pulled himself from his chair down to see the principle; he strolled into the office and threw himself into the chair opposite the principals.
"Ok Don, I'm going to get right to the point, first of al, are you interested in coming to the Senior All-Nighter"
"Oh yes…quite interested" he said in his usual monotone voice
"Well, rules say that no student may be admitted without a parent signature, but according to our files, you don't have any, you appear to be an orphan"
"If that's what you want to call me, then yes, I am" Don said
"Well we don't want to let that keep you from coming, so we'll make an exception. If you'll sign this waiver, then you'll be free to come. The paper states that if anything happens to you, you willingly to the chance by coming, sound fair"
"Completely fair" Don muttered as he signed it. As he glanced up he saw out onto the P.E. field, he saw Ethan and his pals running away from the parking lot…fast. After the whole thing at the café, Don couldn't help but worry about what they just did in the lot. He slowly wandered back to the class, trying to figure out what they did.
After the bell rang Don was the first one out of the room, determined to get to his car. He dashed through the halls, across the quad, and out to the parking lot. He reached his car to find that it was indeed where Ethan and his friends had been. The windshield was cracked, as were two other windows. One window was smashed in, there was a dent in the driver side door, and it had been sprayed with paint. Attached to the window was a note, it read "that's for moving in on Kate". Don swore out loud as he tore the note to shreds, enraged, there was nothing he could do put drive home and await Friday…

Lizzie and Miranda sat at Lizzie's computer, chatting online with some of their friends. While they were in the middle of a conversation, another chat window popped up on screen, reading "Lizzy?"
Wondering who it was, Liz opened it and replied, "yes, who's this"
"It's Don" came the reply
"How'd you get this" Liz asked
"I got it from Gordo, but that aside, I gotta ask you something"
"Um sure what is it" Liz typed, beginning to get curious
"Are you going to that All-Nighter with anyone"
"Maybe, why do you ask" Liz typed, giggling as Miranda sighed an exaggerated sigh
"Well if you're not, do you wanta go together"
"Oh Don I'd love to…"
"Really" came the reply
"Yeah…but I CAN'T…hahaha" Liz typed
"Loser" Miranda added
Next came a series of dots from Don's end…along with "I liked you guys…I really did, but it's too late now…too late, you'll all be sorry" he then signed off…

The next day Don strolled around campus like he usually did after school, it had been a usual boring day, he didn't pay attention in the classes, he ignored people and was ignored…he really didn't care. As he rounded a corner however, Gordo was standing there with three other, tough looking, guys.
"What now" was all Don could think to himself
"Listen buddy" Gordo began "You stay away from Lizzie, you don't talk to her, you don't IM her…you stay away"
"What the HELL are you talking about" Don yelled
"I know you tried to ask Lizzie to the All-Nighter last night, she's my girl, you hear me, you stay away from her" he finished by punching Don in the gut, the others smacked him over the head as they walked by
Don slowly stood up, he turned to them and called out what he had been saying all along…"you guys will be sorry, by then, it'll be too late, you'll see, you'll all see"……

The next day, Thursday, Don didn't show up. Some talked about how maybe he got the hint, about how he wasn't wanted. But not many gave it much thought, all the seniors minds were on the All-Nighter…they didn't quite realize however, that it was gonna be a night that everyone would remember, one no one would forget……

Friday night had arrived…the seniors were arriving by the car-load to the school. Around 7:30, all of them were there…every senior in the school was there…except Don…
Around 7:40 a lone car pulled into the lot, the headlights off, creeping slowly through the lot…Donovan. He pulled to a stop in a dark parking space, it didn't matter though, no one was outside…he quickly through the trunk open, after grabbing everything he made his way across the quad to the doors of the gym…about half way he stopped, he stared at the school…carrying three duffel bags, one in each hand and one on his shoulder…he stared…a faint but dark smile crawled across his face…
Hey I know this chapter was short and kinda jumpy, but I just wanted to get to the All-Nighter. The other chapters will be longer and more in depth, hope you enjoy.
