“ I was out all night with Bay. I am sorry Tams. He made me leave the casino in a hurry and I had to accompany him to a very wild party” Tammy gasped “wild party? That sounds like something I'd wish to be a part of. Tell me, how did it go?... Was it fun?"Emily cleared her throat before I could respond to Tammy's questions, turning both our attention to her. “ Was it mad fun? I’ve never been to a wild party… girl – you are leveling up” she pocked my elbow playfully.“ I will tell you guys all about it after lunch, but for now, I am starving”“ Are you sure you’re doing okay, Hailey? I'm just worried about you” Tammy said “ you've been eating a lot lately. You should watch it before you start to put on so much weight”… “ she’s putting on weight already”… Emily added.I jutted my, running my hands over my dress “ you guys noti

Emily and I found posters for prom plastered all over the hallway while we were on our way to the gym where the basketball teams are practicing. “ What’s your plan for prom? Who is taking you?” Emily asked as she tore out one of the posters from the wall. “ Just add it to the list of things I’d be missing out in” “ Bay isn’t taking you? Girl, this is your time to shine on the dance floor. You finally have a boyfriend. That's the least he can do for you, to make up for all the times he was being a dick”“ I won’t ruin his chance of wearing that golden crown again. We all know how much he loves wearing the crown and Making a dramatic speech. I’d never take that away from him”We’ve barely walked into the gym when the ball Brad was chasing bounced and landed on my feet. He placed his leg on top of it to prevent it from rolling further and placed his hands on his hips as he bl

Mrs. Gupta sat back and looked at us, her face inscrutable as she considered our proposal.“ Mrs. Gupta, the music club is fallen apart because of the way Claire has been running it as the president. You won’t tell me you don’t see what she’s doing or maybe you're just turning a blind eye. She has turned the club into a zone for bullying innocent students who just want to have the opportunity to share their talents – people like me. Those with frail heart who can't keep up with her insolent and rude behavior will only walk away. The Fothoman High Glee club can't keep losing young talented students because of one person"“ The club is fragile, and if you enter it for a competition in this state – I am sorry to say this Mrs. Gupta... But I don’t think Fothoman High Glee club will make 5th position, which will be very embarrassing” Tammy added.“ no one wants to be associated with failure… not even you. I

I finished classes for the day and Emily catches up to me at my locker.“ What time are you leaving for Okhlay?” she asked.“ I’m waiting for Bay to finish his practice” my phone vibrated in my jeans pocket and I dropped my heavy backpack on the floor, leaning it against my leg for support. I Slid out my phone and saw that it was Jake. I’ve missed several calls from him as well “ Jake?” I was surprise he’s calling at 2pm when I already told him that we’d be in Okhlay by nightfall.I answered the call and it was Uncle George “ Hailey, come to Newton Hospital… now”“What’s wrong?” I asked but my question met a dead silent from the callers end.My blood ran cold as I tucked my phone into my pocket. There's no good reason why Uncle George would be calling me from Jake’s phone. I mean, he never called me before… i slammed my locker shut and followed Emily down the hall to the gym. From the tone of my voice, Bay sensed how worried I was and followed me outside the parking lot w

Soon, Tammy drove us  to the venue. I couldn’t shake off the thought of seeing Bay in my head. I might drop dead in the ballroom if Bay is with Claire. Bay is obsessed with being popular, he may want to enter as the prom King with Claire as his Queen – which is totally understandable if he had told me about it instead of standing me up. “Shall we?” Emily’s voiced We walked inside to find the atrium completely transformed. Even though I had little excitement in me it was a thrilling sight to behold. Everything about the hall screams A Night Under the Stars. I felt the baby inside of me leap in excitement as well and that made me smile. " I Know baby, it's so beautiful" I said under my breath, cradling my stomach. Tammy held my wrist and pulled me to a stop. “ Hailey, whatever you see in there, please do not breakdown. I want you to carry yourself like a queen. Don’t let anyone ruin this beautiful moment f
