Tonight, was homecoming and Nate and Nat were still angry with each other. They were both to stubborn to talk to one another. And of course, Nate being Nate wanted Nat to break first. He asked another girl to the homecoming dance.

That girl being Natalie. The new cheerleader. He saw how Nat was looking at her at the game and knew she had to break first.

"Hey." Cal said when he opened the door and Nate walked downstairs "You guys have such a beautiful home." Natalie said "Aw, thank you." Marsha said "Hi." Nate said stepping in front of her. "Hi."

"You look great." Nate complimented but he knew he didn't mean it "Thanks."

Marsha leaned up to Nate's ear and whispered "I like her. But I like our Natalie better." Nate smiled he like that Nat and mom got along.

Cassie and Lexi picked up Maddy and Nat. Maddy's mom was like a second mother to Nat "Have fun, you two." Sonia called as the two ran down the steps "we will." They call back before jumping in Cassie car and screaming with the sisters.

"You want some, Cass?" Maddy Offered leaning up Cassie shook her head and then Maddy offered it to Lexi.

"What is it?" Lexi asked, "Gatorade and Everclear." Maddy said "Fuck it." Lexi said and then took a sip of the drink.

"I feel really good about tonight." Cassie said as they got out of the car and started walking towards the school "Really?" Lexi Maddy and Nat asked.

"Yeah. I mean... I was thinking this is the first time since the beginning of high school that I haven't, like, been in love with somebody." Cassie said. "Honestly, I love that for you." Maddy said taking a sip of the Gatorade.

Nate was regretting the decision to take another girl to the dance. He knew she liked him because he had caught her staring at him a few times so he knew she would say yes.

But now he wished he would've just talked to Natalie. His Natalie.

"I've always, like, really been into pickup trucks." Natalie said trying to flirt and put her feet up on the Dashboard "You can take your shoes off the dash." Nate said.
She scoffed and took her shoes off before putting her feet back up.

Maddy Cassie Lexi and Nat pushed their way through the people dancing and went to sit at the table with rue and Jules.

Kat walked in a few minutes later "Hi." Kat said it was still awkward between Kat Maddy and Nat because of their argument. But it was more awkward between Nat and Kat.

"What if these are, like, the big moments in life? Like, my mom always talks about how high school was like this big, monumental part of her life. But I cannot imagine being 40 and looking back at this, like, Wow." Cassie said trying to break the awkward silence.
