Why can't I breathe?

Because my body is trying to tell me to die, because you are so stupid.

I am so stupid.

How stupid?

Very stupid.

My eyes dragged down the mirror one more time. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

"If you squint at yourself one more time. I'm going to hurt you" my mothers sharp voice slapped against my face.

I made a face at her through the mirror, before looking back at myself. The dress my Mom had squeezed me into was a pretty white color, it was tight as it rushed down my body and hugged my hips.

I turned back to look at her as she longed on my bed, picking at her nails, "shouldn't you be gone by now?" I asked her wary.

All week I'd been trying to get anything from this possible evil villain in front of me, but the idiocy was making it hard for me to think either one of my parents was capable of even conceiving and evil plan.

"Yes. But your Father had some of those tacos from Ruby's, so he should be taking a shit for the next two hours, there's no need for me to rush" she waved me away.

See what I mean! No possible way.

"You look fine Katrina, stop twitching. It makes me break out in hives. You know that" she glared at me through the mirror.

I sighed as I looked back at myself, he should be here soon. Why am I so nervous?

Because I've missed him so fucking bad that it hurts, and this is the make-up, the do-over, to the stupid break up that we had.

Oh .. yeah, I guess that is it.

"Who are you going with again?" she asked as she tried to shove her foot into one of my heels.

I shrugged, "No one" I answered her annoying question for the twentieth time. I was obviously playing coy, because if I told this woman that 'The Blake Dun' was going to be my date tonight, I'm pretty sure she would rip half my dress of and stamp 'Marry Her' on my forehead.

She muttered something to herself, but I was still trying to wipe the sweat from my armpit.

God why am I so nervous?! It's just him, Blue. I've been plenty of places with him, so why the hell do I feel like a 15 year old about to go out on her first date with her crush?!

"Mom ... is- is everything okay?" I turned and looked at her.

She froze from trying to squeeze her size 10 foot into my size 8 shoe, "Kat... actually-" the doorbell rang, immediately cutting her off.

Or finishing for that matter as she literally hauled ass out of my room and down the steps.

Shit.

I went sprinting after her, trying to at least stop her from opening the door, but it was too late.

She yanked the door open just as I tripped down the last step, just barely catching myself from face planting. There he stood in an all black tux, his hair slicked back, a nervous smile etched on his lips.

... "Corey?" I asked baffled.

"H-hey Kat, I'm here to pic-" my Mom slammed the door dead in his face.

My jaw dropped as I turned and looked at her unapologetic face, "Mom!" I hissed at her.

She narrowed her eyes at me, "Why is that creation on my doorstep, Katrina?" she hissed back at me.

I blinked, god I forgot she hated him, "I don't know, but I do know that you just slammed the door in his face" I yelled back at her.

"Let him lay down and I'll slam it on his neck" she finished calmly.

I'm surrounded by demented people.

"We've talk about this, you can't do that again. His parents were ready to sue you" I hissed back at her.

"I should have slammed it harder" she finished annoyed.

There was another knock on the door, she quickly whirled around and swung it open again. This time everyone was there.

Off to the right stood Aria with Klaus, who had his arm possessively wrapped around her annoyed form. She looked great in a deep purple gown that really showed off her long dark hair, that was curled loosely. Klaus looked just as good in an all black tux that was snug around his tall lean body.

Next was Ana, who looked gorgeous in a dark red dress, that stopped right at her mid thigh. Her shining blond hair pulled back in a sharp ponytail, and a fake ass smile placed on her lips, as she held tight to a large hand, that belonged to Carter, who also had a fake ass smile plaster on his face.

Corey was next to them, his face sour as his eyes glared back over at my Mom, who was blatantly flipping him off.

Then standing in front of them all was him. My eyes had found him, and now they couldn't seem to move away.

I mean I knew he was a cocky son of a bitch, but now it was so obvious he had the ass to back it up.

He looked perfect in a tailor tux that was such a deep dark blue, that it almost looked black. Almost. His perfect lips were tilted up in a small smirk as his eyes ran over my body, just like I was doing to him.

God he looked good.

The urge to lick the side of his face was crazy.

But that feeling of absolute heaven died, along with the butterflies in my stomach, when some gorgeous brunette woman stepped out of literally no where and draped herself on Blue.

I feeling of desperately wanting to choke her, hit me amazingly fast.

"Blake" I ground out as I turned and looked into his cocky little face.

"Katty" he gave me a large smile, "are you ready to go?" he asked.

I felt my eye twitch, "with who?" I ground at him.

I saw everyone take a small step backwards, they knew shit was about to go down.

"With me"

"Who's she?"

"I'm-" she started.

"Don't speak" I cut her off immediately.

Blue's lips twitched, "This is Angelica, she is my date" he stated like he was talking about the weather.

Th lights flickered, everyone took another step backwards, "I thought I was your date" I hissed back at him.

He smiled, "you are. You both are, is that an issue?" he smirked.

I glared, "is it an issue if I shove my foot up your ass?"

"I knew you wouldn't be too happy, so I got Corey to take you" he stated.

I turned towards Corey who gave me another watery smile, "No" both me and my Mother snapped out at once.

Blake tensed before turning to look at my Mom, "Mrs. Justice, such a pleasure to-"

"Shove it you saggy tit-" oh my god, Blake froze, "-I liked you Blake Dun, but you've brought this testicle to my house, and that is unforgivable" she pointed at Corey who looked more and more red.

"I DIDN'T HIT YOUR CAR!" he bellowed at her.

"BULL SHIT, I SAW YOU, YOU FUCKING TROLL" she bellowed back at him.

"MOM!"

"But this is perfectly fine, I knew this would happen so I took precautions. I just didn't know who I would have to fight first" she smirked at me, before the roar of an engine pulled everyones attention to the drive way, where a bright yellow sports car roared.

Who. The. Hel-

Daniel glided out of the car, like a supermodel. His hair slicked back, his dazzling blue eyes shining as he turned and looked over at us.

He quickly slauntered over like he had all the time in the world, while the rest of us stared at him lost and confused.

With one exception of course.

"Daniel, dear, I'm happy you made it" my Mom smiled at him.

He gave her a small smile before turning toward me a freezing slightly, "Wow Katrina, you look ... stunning" he gave me one of his stupid dazzling smiles, but dare I say it, it felt nice.

I gave him a smile back as I looked back down at the dress I was squeezed in, "Thanks".

It felt good knowing someone appreciated what I had gone through to look nice, my hair, my makeup, my dress. Did Blue say I looked good?

No. He told me I was about to be apart of a threesome-date.

"Are you ready to go?" Daniel smiled back at me.

It's been weird with how nice he's been acting towards me lately, I mean we hate each other with a capital H, in high school. But I guess he was still on his little protector of the universe kick, but it didn't make sense why he was being nice to me.

He just need to watch me, in his book, so what was up with all the niceties?

His question finally reached my ears, "go? Go where?" I asked.

The smile that shined on his face was nearly blinding, "to the party of course, I'm your date, I even asked you Mom about it" he looked so proud of himself.

Everyone else swiveled to look at my Mom, "You cornered me while I was trying to not pee myself, and demanded I give you her hand".

We looked back at Daniel who still had a large easy going smile on his face, "You said yes".

"Anyway, I'd take anyone over this little growth" she literally hissed at Corey.

"Oh hey Corey! I haven't seen you since what ... freshman year of high school, you got to smart and left the rest of us behind!" Daniel laughed light heartedly as he walked Corey on the back, as he winced.

"You were at that meeting too. You could have gone with me" Corey deadpanned.

Daniel kept his light hearted smile on and chuckled, "And leave behind Katrina?" Daniel smiled up at me.

I must be missing a step.

"She ran you over with a golf cart that day" Corey said sounding just as confused as I was.

I smirked at the memory, "How many points?" my Mom asked her eyes lightning up.

I knew my smile was matching hers now, "20,000. It was epic" I chuckled.

She threw her head back and cackled like I had the day it happened, which is why I crashed into a tree five seconds later.

"Shit. So you flew over the top of the cart?" my Mom's bright eyes snapped towards Daniel's slightly red face.

"And bounced when I hit the ground" he finished making my Mom and I laugh harder.

My smile couldn't be wiped off my face as the memory kept flashing through my mind, "alright Strap, lets get this show on the road. I'm ready to party and own your ass on the dance floor, just like prom" I snickered as I stepped out the house and towards him.

"Which prom? The one where you punched my prom date in the face, or the one where you got punch in the face?" Daniel snickered.

I looked up at him confused, "I thought that was the same one".

A hand snatched out and latched onto my upper arm, my eyes connected with Blue's furious ones.

Cue the winners smirk, "Mr. Dun?" I mocked him.

His jaw was wound tight, and his grip got harder on my arm, "Katrina, you are attending the party with me" he growled out.

I easily pulled out of his grasp, "I thought so too, but funny how the universe works, right? You have a date and now so do I" I mocked him.

His eye twitched as his jaw got tighter, he stepped into my personal space and leaned down into my ear, "I don't share Katty" he hissed.

I leaned up, "Neither do I, Balder".

He growled lowly before abruptly turning around and stomping towards the limo they had all come in.

Everyone slowly followed behind him.

"You're going to cause a storm to hit us" Aria whispered in my ear.

I laughed, "a lightning storm, bitch" she chuckled as she shook her head and followed behind the others to get into the limo.

Daniel's hand clamped down on mine, before he started dragging me towards his car, "Don't bring her back unmarried Daniel!" my Mom screeched from the door step. "Hell don't bring her back at all!" she continued.

I felt the air crackle with energy.

Someone was getting angry.

"Don't use protection either!" my whole face went white.

I whirled around as Daniel threw his head back and bellowed a laugh, "MA SHUT UP!"

"DON'T FAIL ME KATRINA! JUST FAIL A PREGNANCY TEST!" she responded.

Daniel chucked me into his car just as my jaw dropped, where the hell did this woman come from?

He easily slid into the car and turned back around to look at me, he just stared like a stalker, "you do honestly look amazing" he stated.

It was so quiet and sincere.

I narrowed my eyes at him, "what the hell did you do, or what do you want?" I hissed at him.

His tips twitched before he put on his care free, sweet boy next door smile and turned the car on, "you'll be pissed, but it is honestly for the best".

"It's not beneath me to cut you".

"Once I explain everything, you'll see how great of an idea it is, and you'll understand" he continued like I hadn't said a word.

"In the facial area, I will cut you in the facial area" I hissed.

"And you love me, we will probably get married, and have kids. You'll see how great this all is" he continued as he pretty much talked to himself.

"Nice try you panty sniffer-"

"THATS NOT WHAT YOU SAW!" he snapped.

I smirked, "I saw you sniff a jock strap", I watched in wonder as his blue eyes started to glow off his face.

"You know I was just checking them for a friend" he growled.

"It's okay to like the smell of di-" he slapped a hand over my mouth.

I glared at him as he finally calmed back down, "as I was saying, once you move in with me, you'll see it's all for the better. I-AHHHHH" he screeched as I bit down on his hand.

He yanked back immediately, "Moving in with you? Are you high?" I yelled at him.

Oh my God. Blue was going to throw a yacht at me.

I can't dodge one of those.

I could barely dodge the lamp he threw at me.

He was going to obliterate me.

"Kat, you need to be watched at all time, and it will be easier this way! Plus you are banned from ever re-entering your apartment building-"

"-fuck you"

"-and do you really want to stay with your Mom and Dad? It'll be fun, plus we can re-establish our friendship-" I grabbed his hand immediately silencing him.

"Daniel. We've never been friends" I deadpanned.

He placed his large hand over my face and shoved me back into my seat, "I know Princess, this will give us a chance to actually build one, especially since you tormented me in school, this is your way to make up for it" he stated as he put my seat belt on.

I glared at his face, "you tormented me, asshole".

"The first day of Freshman year, I accidentally bumped into you. Accidentally. You somehow managed to trip down a staircase and fall into a plate of mashed potatoes. I went to apologize and you had hell's fire in your eye, Katrina. We were never enemies, you just had a commendable amount of rage in your little 14 year old body, and were committed to destroying you life for the next four years" he stated slowly.

I glared at him, "it was mystery meat that I fell into, and if your large oaf ass hadn't shoved me I wouldn't have embarrassed myself in front of the entire school", and Ricky Lorenzo, sexiest junior to ever walk this earth.

Not that I would ever say that aloud.

"But Kat if you think back on it, did I ever actually do anything else to you ... purposefully?" he prompted.

Regressing.

Regressing.

He did pour that paint on me, ... but he had claimed it accidentally fell.

I had immediately kicked the ladder he had been standing on and watched him crumble to the floor, but besides that ... had it been an accident?

"Then why was it always happening?" I asked him ... holy shit was I the bully?

"I just wanted to talk to you" he shrugged.

Yep, I was the bully and I just didn't like Daniel because ... of his personality! Not his actions, but his do-gooder, smile and be friendly to everyone, personality.

I didn't trust it.

No one can want to be nice on purpose.

I guess his sad pathetic attempt to be my friend was kind of nice.

I turned back at him and winced, "so you just ... wanted to be my friend?" I asked him.

"Well ... yeah something like that" he said.

I put my hand on his arm, he tensed slightly, "if you needed a friend ... I'm an awful one, but I would have been yours. Was it hard being a lonely loser all through high school?"

"I feel like we are really getting off track. Katrina-" he cut off as we looked over to see the girl Blue had come with scream in anger as she tried to open the door to the limo.

"What the hell-" the window rolled down slightly to show just a portion of Blue's face with sun glasses on, at night.

He said something to her, making her throw her head back and laugh before she slapped the side of the car in anger.

Blue rolled his window back up.

In her anger she threw the limo door open and tried to climb in. She disappeared inside the car for a second before her body went airborne out the car and she landed unceremoniously on her ass in my driveway.

I slapped a hand over my mouth to stop from full on cackling.

My phone vibrated and I looked down to see I got a text from an unknown number.

You don't have to share. Your turn.

My eyes immediately looked up at limo, where I could feel that man's eyes cutting through my own.

"Blake Dun is a douche, what's he even doing here?" Daniel sneered.

Enemies in masks, and enemies in real life. Who would have thought.

I tried to tuck the smile back, "I have no clue".
