"You look smokin 'too goose.” she twirls, her dress fanning out as she does. I find my left arm gone to my shoulder giving it a quick pinch.

"Hey, relax babes, it's going to be fun.” With a deep breath I open the door, both of us stepping out closing it behind us.

This is gorgeous! They really went all out this year. The four of us walk in, Johnny in a black suit with a matching coral bow tie and Rhett in an all black suit with a matching baby blue tie.

"You look beautiful boots.” He leans down and whispers in my ear. I look up into his green orbs.

"You don’t look too bad yourself Cowboy.”

"What can I say, I have a beautiful girl to impress.” I look down to my boots. My cheeks are red from blushing. Get it together Mel. “Oh really is she here?" I say jokingly while glancing around the room.

"Come on, let's go get a table you goof.” As we walked hand in hand I could hear the whispers.

"Don’t mind them boots, they're just jealous cause I have the prettiest girl with me tonight.”

Melt, is he seriously trying to give me a heart attack?

“And your prom King and Queen for 2011 is…. Rhett Parker and Janelle Garrett.” What the fuck. This can't be happening.

“This shits rigged!” Alex says while walking up next to me.

“Truth or dare Goose?”

“If it's dare and involves pigs blood. I'm down.”

A few hours later after non stop dancing everything changes.

“Hey, you okay?” I look to find that Alex and Johnny are now sitting down next to me. Johnny pulling out his leather flask and taking a swig of what smells like that nasty vodka Alex was talking about. Gee wonder who's going to have sex tonight?

"I'm good, have any of you seen Rhett?”

"Last I saw he was walking with Janelle in the lobby.” Johnny shrugs,

"That bitch is seriously looking to get her ass whooped.” Alex comments. I stand from my chair straightening my dress.

"I'm going to go look for him, I’ll be right back.” I started my walk towards the lobby, the last place that he was seen but with no luck he wasn't there.

"Hey, have you seen Rhett?” I stopped one of the kids from Rhett's baseball team. “No, sorry.” He shrugs me off and continues walking. Where the hell is this kid?

I spend the next two minutes stopping anyone and asking if they've seen Rhett, when out of the corner of my eye I see Janelle walking out the bathroom. I stop and stare at her, her eyes directly on mine as she pulls out her compact and lipstick just as Rhett walks out wiping off his mouth . My eyes widened as I realized just what was going on. Rhett doesn't realize that i'm there and heads off in the opposite direction of me, leaving Janelle and I in a heated stare down. She gives a chuckle and makes her way to me.

"Mel, I didn't see you standing there.” I shoot daggers at her.

"Was that Rhett with you right now?”

"Oh god yes, The mouth on that man… and don't get me started on that tongue.” She fake fans herself “But you wouldn't know that you would you, Mel. Only in your dreams I suppose.” Anger boils within me. This bitch has the nerve.

"At least I'm not a rata asquerosa.” Is what I should tell her. But instead I walk past shoulder checking her on my passing.

"You’ve got lipstick on your tooth.” She lets out a gasp and pulls her compact back out.

Deciding that I’ve had enough fun for the night I pull out my phone and order an Uber to get me. I shoot Alex a quick text letting her know that I decided to call it a night.By the time the Uber pulled up I was already out of my shoes and my hair was now loose from the ponytail. Well this night was a bust, first with Johnny being the dumbass that he is, to Janelle and Rhett being royalty and then both of them hooking up in the bathroom. Can this night get any worse?

"Hi, are you Melanie?” I look up from my phone to see a white Toyota Camry pull up.

"Yeah that's me.” I hop into the car letting a big sigh of relief out when the buzzing of my phone lights up my screen.

Goose: Is everything okay? Do I need to cut a bitch?
