Thanks for all the get well wishes, you guys! And I'm sorry to hear about all the people who are sick. That sucks! Anyway, I'm back up and I'm going to see House at the End of the Street with some friends tomorrow! I'm pretty excited! Anyone else going/been to it?

"Wait!" I called.

Ella walked out of her door spraying the air with Lysol, "Hm?"

"Prom's coming up? How many more days?" I asked.

"4." She responded.

"What?!" I screeched.

"And you're sick..." She murmured.

"No, no, no, no. I will not miss Prom. This is the first year I have a boyfriend to go with."

"But not the first year guys will be knocking down your door to go with you..." Ella said under her breath.

"'Scuse me, but you have a boyfriend to go with too." I countered.

"Yeahhh, he was cheating on me." She said, avoiding my eyes. I could see the tears in them.

I stood up and walked over to the kitchen and grabbed my keys then walked back to Ella.

"Get in the car."

"Wha-?"

"Get. In. The. Effing. Car."

"You're sick!" She yelled.

I ran into the bathroom and took a fever reducer.

"Now I'm treated, it also says here 'reduces contagion'. Now get in the car!"

"Okay, okay." She said, hopping into shotgun.

I started the car and drove off to the store, buying 4 huge bags of skittles, 6 tubs of ice cream, and 3 chick flicks.

When I returned to Ella sitting in the car, she was texting Nudge. She took one look at my bags then shrugged.

"The weather calls for rain tonight." I muttered as I drove in front of Dylan's house.

"And?" Ella asked.

"And were gonna skittle his yard."

Ella's eyes got huge but she grabbed two bags anyway. We dumped skittles all over the front yard and even threw some on top of a couple trees. As we were smiling down on our master piece we felt it start to drizzle. We ran over to the car, Ella screeching a little and drove home. We reached the house and got home and enjoyed our chick flicks and ice cream to its full extent. Then, the next day visited Dylan's house again to see the lovely array of rainbow his yard had turned into.

Afterwards we drove to school. I had lasted a day, so far, without being sick. I was gonna live.

"Hey, Ella, after school you want to go dress shopping for Prom?" I asked.

Ella choked on the water she was drinking.

"Dress shopping?" She coughed, "But you hate dresses... And shopping..."

"Well... I need a dress."

"Hold up, has Sam even asked you yet?" Ella responded.

"Well, no, but were dating... So wouldn't you think he would take me?" I asked.

"But... Then how do you know he's going?"

"Um... I... I guess I don't..." I sighed, walking into the school.

Dylan swept passed me as I was talking to Ella.

Dylan slammed his lips into Ella's. Ella was taken aback but I watched as she responded so. Oh, she was so gonna be bitched at later for that.

As I was turning around to stomp away, I saw from the corner of my eye, her leg pulling back so subtly. Then she shoved it forward with such an effort I hurt for that guy.

"Oooh!" There were calls down the halls.

One guy yelled, "Bro! Ice that one down!"

As he sat, on his knees, holding his groin, he turned to Ella, "Babe, why?"

"Oh you are so not in the place to call me 'babe'."

"W-what I do?" He asked.

"You cheated on me with a total hoe!"

"And he flirted with me." I said.

"Wait, what?!" Ella asked, spinning towards me.

"Yup."

"Asshole!" She said, kicking his leg.

"Okay, okay! I'm so sorry! I get it!" Dylan said.

"Oh, I'm so sure, you're just saying that to get me to forgive you. Well its not happening!"

"No, no, that's not it at all, it's just... I didn't think... I'm sorry."

"Well, that's too bad. I'm gone. Bye." She said, stomping away.

She didn't look back. She just stared off. And Dylan watched, as if he couldn't feel anything except his heart breaking. I couldn't help him, because he was done for.

"You really liked her, didn't you?" I asked him.

He had such a look of hurt and lowered self esteem.

"I- I've had a crush on her for years..."

"What?"

"I feel horrible..."

"Then get her back. Get her to forgive you."

"How?"

"I don't know!" I yelled, "Just do it!"

I stormed off.

" ." Came a voice, that I recognized had authority.

"Yes sir?" I said.

"You have detention, if you don't recall." Oh, yeah... Great...

"I'm very sorry, I'll go now." I stormed off to the room and saw the rest of the detention club. And one new girl.

"Whose that?" I said.

The girl had a kind of a strawberry blonde hair with freckles and a small frame.

She was almost the same looking as Iggy, except, Iggy looked at her very soothingly.

"She's... Charlie..." His ears became red as he said her name.

I'll just admit it right here... I snorted. Who couldn't? Iggy, Mr. Too-Cool-For-Everyone had a crush!

She turned scarlet when he said it.

"Oh my God!" Screamed Nudge, "I totally ship you guys!"

They both turned a deeper red.

"I-..." Charlie stuttered.

"Me too." Said now Mr. Suave.

"R-really?" Charlie asked, eyes lighting up.

"Yeah," He chuckled, "We should go out."

She began to laugh and Iggy spun around and kissed her. She looked very shocked, but then leaned in and kissed back.

After detention finished I met up with Sam at lunch.

I stayed distant, kind of mad he hadn't mentioned Prom.

"Is something wrong?" He asked.

"No." I said, not looking at him.

"What is it?"

"Nothing."

"I'll be right back." He laughed. I watched as he walked through the outside doors and ran back in holding a sign that said "Max, Prom?"

I laughed and ran up to him. I jumped up and wrapped my arms and legs around him, kissing him right there.

He wrapped his arms around my waist and walked me to our lockers. He pulled away for a moment and sighed, "So, I'm guessing that's a no?"

"Its a total yes." I said, hopping off of him.

"I'm gonna be shopping for my dress after school today."

"Oh, really?"

"Oh, yes." I smiled.

The final bell rang and I stepped in the car and started the engine. I had Nudge and Ella with me.

"Let's go shopping."
