THE DANCE was filled with legacy children, not a rat in sight, which pissed me off. They were all dancing around, not an ounce of guilt in them as they were practically humiliating kids for most of the day.

I turned to Saya and held out my hand, having her pass me the flask. I take a few large gulps from it and wiped my mouth when I felt some drip down my chin, "This shit sucks."

"That's because you haven't danced yet." Maria yelled over the music. The intro to Come On Eileen was coming on and I sighed. That was my favorite song off all time. I wanted to rebel dancing, but here they go playing a song that is irresistible to the teens of this fucked up generation.

Maria and Saya grab each other's hands before they hold their free hands out to me, "Come dance with us!" Without an answer from me, they grab my hands and drag me into the crowd of people dancing their life away.

I was going to just stand there, stiff as a board, but since I had a little too much of wine, my body involuntarily moved along with the song. I twirled and laughed as the room spun, before Saya's hands gripped mine and she spun me again.

We pressed our bodies close to each other and moved ourselves into a circle, having us turn before she pulled away to pull me back again. I then move away from her and dance to myself, jumping up and down to the rhythm, my head getting all in my face as I did so. I couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter as my favorite song was on and the room was beginning to look unrecognizable.

Soon the song ended and Everybody Wants to Rule the World came on, which Maria then pulled us into the center of the room. We slowly move to the beat, our hands grasping onto one another, but when I turn, I see Petra all cuddled up next to Vicktor. I raise a brow, knowing how Vicktor is and how he doesn't care about nobody but himself. I was about to go up to her, but Saya pulls me back into their circle, having us spin around.

This song soon ends as we stop spinning, though I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turn to see one of Willie's friends, Malik, with a smile on his face. I smile back, "Hey, Malik."

"Hey, Brynn, I was just wondering if.. if you'd like to dance?" He asked and I glance back at Saya and Maria, who both grinned widely and gave thumbs up.

I turn back to him and nod, "Sure." He takes my hand as Every Breath You Take now played. I wasn't a big fan of this song, seeing as it sounded sort of creepy. I preferred Whitney or Tina Turner.

He pulls me gently to him and rests his hands on my waist as we sway back and forth, silently. I rest my head on his chest, though when I see Vicktor start dancing with Petra, I couldn't help but become concerned. The song changed again, thankfully, to I Wanna Dance with Somebody by Whitney.

I pull away from his chest, but our hands are latched onto each other but he twirls and dips me. We danced at a fast pace, but I couldn't keep my eyes off Petra. I wanted to know what Vicktor was up to, especially when he walked away from the dance floor with Petra toward the bathroom.

I didn't want to abandon Malik, but after awhile my feet grew tired and I looked at him, "I'm gonna go to the bathroom real quick." He nods and I walk off into that direction. When I reach the girls bathroom, I see Vicktor standing outside of it as if he were a guard.

"Can I help you?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, by letting me through to go pee." I said and was about to walk past him, but he stops me. I raise a brow, "Let me through, Vicktor."

"I can't," He simply told me and I glared at him.

"Would you prefer me to piss on your shoes?" I angrily asked him, and he stays silent, "Now move out of my way, dick for brains."

"You are drunk. I think you should head back to your dorm, watch teen rom-com and eat depressing foods," He suggested, his words and his accent pissing me off.

"Where's Petra?"

"I haven't seen her." He shrugged and I clenched my jaw.

"Do you think I'm stupid or at the same brain capacity as you, which isn't much by the way?" I asked and knock on the door anyways, "Petra? Petra, are you in there?"

I didn't hear an answer, especially from the loud music, which got me even more mad. He smirked, "Go back to the dance, Brynn, I think I hear Journey playing."

I kept my jaw clenched and my hands in a ball as I glared at him for him a moment, before storming off and back to the dance. I look around for Saya and Maria, but don't see them anywhere, which made me more mad as I heard my name get called.

I turn to see Willie coming up to me, pulling a toothpick from his mouth, "I heard from my boy that you were here. I thought you'd be with Marcus and them?"

I avoid his eyes, still looking around the dance, "Saya and Maria forced me to come. Have you seen them?"

"Nah, but I'll let you know if I do," He assures me, "They can't be-"

"Listen up everybody." Brandy says over the microphone and we all look up at the stage, "Y'all might know her as the dark cloud that haunts the halls of King's..but tonight, thanks to the lovely ladies of the Cheer Death Squad, she's gone from wastetoid to...passable."

She then has her minions drag Petra out on stage, a wig on top of her head and in a horrendous yellow dress. I was about to go up to the stage, but Willie held me back and silently shook his head.

Brandy continued to torment Petra as I sat idly by, "Please put your hands together for the belle of the ball, the new and improved Miss Rat of 1987."

Everyone laughed and cheered at Petra, so I yank my arm from Willie and ran toward Petra on stage. However, she shoves me out of the way and takes off. I ball my hands into a fist again and smirk, going toward Brandy, "I've been dying to hit someone all day."

I suddenly punched her in her face, causing her to stumble back, blood flowing down her nose. She only smirked back, blood staining her teeth before I went to chase after Petra. I assumed she went up to the roof and so I went up there, to see her and every other one of my friends.

They looked back at me after talking to Petra. Most of them held anger in their face, especially Lex, but Marcus looked at me in wonder, which made me regret coming upstairs, "What were you doing at the dance?"
