Finally, the night arrived. I took a peek in the mirror. Now, I'm not the egotistical type, but man I looked good. Junior picked Billy and me up at around 8:30. And that was when I saw Billy, in a tux, and I practically fainted on the spot. I've gotta tell you, if I was in this tiny car smushed up against anyone else in the entire world. When we arrived at prom, I was shocked to see Irwin waving us over.

"Hey, Mandy, you look, uh...wow." he fumbled over his words.

"I thought you weren't talking to us." I mumbled. His smile faded.

"Yeah, can we talk over there? Like, uh, now?" he asked. I shrugged and walked over with him to the corner. "So, Mandy, I am not expecting an apology, but-"

"I wish we hadn't gotten drunk, and you hadn't started trying to hit on me, and I hadn't told you to get a clue, and you could get rid of your stupid crush and just hang out like friends." I blurted.

"I know, but, it did." he pointed out. "I want to forget about it but I just can't."

"I'm not in love with you. And I wish I knew how to fix this and-" he interrupted me by starting to kiss me. I pulled away, and punched him in the jaw.

"Just like old times." he smiled, and walked away. Mindy stood on the opposite end of the gym, picking her nails.

"Hey Mindy." I greeted.

"Wow, Mandy, you actually don't look terrible." she said, shocked.

"Look Mindy. I know we're never going to be friends or anything, but I am so freaking sick of fighting. Can we call a truce?" I demanded. "at least until we graduate." She looked at me like I had slapped her across the face.

"No more cupcakes to the face?" she asked.

"No more comments about my fashion sense?" I retorted.

"Fine," she huffed, "but as soon as we hit college you are so dead."

"Deal." I shook her hand and walked over to the last thing I needed to take care of. I grabbed Billy by the tux and kissed him.

"Mandy! What the hell?" he pulled away.

"That was for putting on the sexiest tux you could find." I explained. "And also, for making me fall head over heals in love with you."

"You're in love with me?" he demanded.

"Yeah. What are you going to do about it?"

"I'm gonna dance with the girl I love, that's what I'm gonna do!" he grabbed my arm and dragged me on to the dance floor. How could everything go from crap to perfect in one night? Well, I thought as he stepped on my toes, stranger things have happened to me.

"Oh don't you dare look back.
Just keep your eyes on me."
I said, "You're holding back, "
She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo,
Shut up and dance with me."

We were victims of the night,
The chemical, physical, kryptonite
Helpless to the bass and the fading light
Oh, we were bound to get together,
Bound to get together.

She took my arm,
I don't know how it happened.
We took the floor and she said,

"Oh, don't you dare look back.
Just keep your eyes on me."
I said, "You're holding back, "
She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo,
Shut up and dance with me."

A backless dress and some beat up sneaks,
My discothèque, Juliet teenage dream.
I felt it in my chest as she looked at me.
I knew we were bound to be together,
Bound to be together

She took my arm,
I don't know how it happened.
We took the floor and she said,

"Oh, don't you dare look back.
Just keep your eyes on me."
I said, "You're holding back, "
She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo,
Shut up and dance with me."

Oh, come on girl!

Deep in her eyes,
I think I see the future.
I realize this is my last chance.

She took my arm,
I don't know how it happened.
We took the floor and she said,

"Oh, don't you dare look back.
Just keep your eyes on me."
I said, "You're holding back, "
She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo,
Shut up and dance!"

"Don't you dare look back.
Just keep your eyes on me."
I said, "You're holding back, "
She said, "Shut up and dance with me!"
This woman is my destiny
She said, "Ooh-ooh-hoo,
Shut up and dance with me."

Ooh-ooh-hoo, shut up and dance with me [x2]
