I woke up, Saturday morning, totally not ready for prom comittee to my ringtone for Mindy playing (If you're wondering it's the theme of the wicked witch of the west)

"What" I growled. "It is six in the morning." I complained, looking at the clock.

"Don't you think I know that? My beauty sleep gets cut short all of the time!" she whined.

"That explains why you always look like a horror movie monster." I grumbled.

"Be to school by seven." Mindy ordered, ignoring my comment. And then she hung up. I groaned and rolled out of bed. I stared at my phone. My parents revoked my car privledges, so how would I get to school? I couldn't call Billy. (What idiot would give him a licence?) I couldn't call Irwin, last time he tried his "moves" on me, so the only real option I had was Nergal jr. I punched in his number.

"Hey, Junior." I whispered awkwardly into the phone.

"Hey Mandy." he yawned. "What can I do for you?"

"I need a ride to school." I explained.

"It's Saturday." he pointed out.

"I'm on..." I looked around the room to make sure nobody was listening. "Prom committee."

"Mandy, are you feeling alright?" he asked, suddenly wide awake.

"The principal is making me because I started a food fight." I confessed.

"That was you? I knew that had Mandy written all over it. Okay, I'm on my way." he hung up the phone. I threw on combat boots, tights, a skirt and a tee. It seemed like hours before he got to my house. I bolted outside and got in his car.

"Long time no see." I gulped. He started the car, and we were on the way.

"Usually when someone gets in trouble, their activities are revoked." he announced at a stoplight.

"I wasn't going to let my opportunity to show up Mindy at the talent show fly out the window." I explained.

"Uh-huh. And this has nothing to do with the fact that you didn't want to let your crush down?" he asked. crap.
