StarDusk POV

The beginning of the night we all got picked up and went out to eat at Awesome's favorite restaurant. We decided to walk to prom. I bring up the subject of prom king and queen. "So who do you guys think is going to win prom king and queen." Ter drop looks up with a look of determination in his eyes. He looked like he was about to say something but, before he did Lightning did, "I don't known the ule of them having to come together is gone this year. So really anyone could win. But before we go no one should get mad if any of us win." I'm glad he pointed that out. I really don't care if I win but, if I'm honest I will be a little jealous of the winner.

We enter the gym and a slow song. Moon shine grabs my hand and dances with me. Before we known it they announcing the prom king and queen. We are all standing in a line crossing our fingers. Our principal stands up and starts talking, "Welcome students. I'm hoping you are all enjoying your night. I'm here to announce the winners. As you know the old rule of having to come together has been terminated. That may or may not have affected the votes this year. These people will be in the yearbook and will be required to take pictures after the prom. Those people are Tear drop and …" I smile and look over to Awesomepi. She starts getting up then the printable continues, "Stardusk."

All of our mouths fall and I see a tear run down Awesome's face. The gym goes quiet. "Both of you come up here so we can crown you," the principal pushes. We slowly get up and continue to the stage. I see Moonshine glaring at Teardrop. Lightning is trying to calm him down while Twisted is helping AwesomePi.

I get on stage and give Tear and awkward smile. The principal crowns him first then me. It's quite for a second then the room starts chanting, "Teardusk, Teardusk, Teardusk." I mortified. I see Awesome run out while Twisted follows. Then I go up to the microphone and yell, "Stop we're not even dating. Think about how our dates feel." I quites down a bit but, I'm not that intimidating even if I'm mad and I'm sure my blushing right now isn't helping. So we stand there on the stage and out of No, where it gets louder as the slow music starts. Tear drop look furious, "STOP IT WE ARE NOT TOGETHER AND NEVER WILL BE. I HATE HER AND I LOVE AWESOMEPI. THAT"S THE ONLY REASON I PUT UP WITH HER" The crowd goes quiet for a second then starts booing at him. I feel my eyes burn with tears.

I look at the crowd both Lightning and Moon look furious. I run off the stage into their arms and sob. The room awes. "Let's go find Awesome," I say through my sobs. They look unsure but, help me any ways. I see Twisted and Awesome but, they both start glaring at me. "How could you Stardusk I thought you were a better friend than that," Twisted says with a glare. I'm about to speak up when AwesomePi starts yelling, "Why didn't you run or leave the crown to me. Why are you guys helping her." My usual confidence gone I whisper, "I don't know I was just as confused as you were." She still has a full on glare, "Then you made the wrong choice. Don't talk to me ever again. I hope your mom is not okay and you have to move." I look down and start running off. I get home and see my mom and my brother sitting on the couch.

They quickly see my tears and conceal me. "Starry what happened," Shining Silver asks. I explain to them what happened. Mom looks sad and my brother has the same look on his face that Moon and lightning had.

We talk for a bit then my mom sighs, "Honey I need to tell you something." I motion for her to continue. She does, "Shining Silver is moving in with us." I smile at that and say, "That's bad news!" She shakes her head, "It's the reason why that is the bad news. I have cancer." My world crashes and I reach for my brother as I sob.

I look at my mom, "How long?" She gives me a confused look. "How long do you have left," I explain my self. She gives a sad look, "The doctor said under 6 months." I look at her then my brother, "Were do I go. Wait do I do, I'm only 16" I was expecting mom to answer but, Silver does, "Mom and me agreed that I would become your legal guardian. Thankfully she has saved enough money to take care of college for you and just us in general. I'm still going to work. Lets stop talking about the technical stuff." I nod and he carries me to his room. We lay down and go to bed.

I wake up at 7 and get ready for school. Mom's at the doctors. I look like a slob in my yellow sweatshirt. I don't do my makeup and I grab a paper and pen. I don't think Silver was expecting me to go to school today so I wrote a note. I need to go to school I need to make mom proud before she leaves me. But, I feel dark and sad. The worst part is I don't think I have all my friends to help me get through this.
