"Okay so i have some good news and some bad news"

"Tell us the bad news first"

"Okay so Sofia you're not gonna like what I'm gonna say but - " Linsey gets cut off As Sofia looks away and down the hall "Peter"

"Hi Sofia" He walks up to her "how are you?"

"I go to school here, what do you mean?"

"You know what i mean, You moved to Atlanta, why did you come back?"

"It was only temporary"

"Okay well i hope you go back to Atlanta" Sofia starts walking off.

"Sofia, don't be like that!" He yells after her but she rushes into the girls bathroom. Abigail and linsey walks in after her "are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I just don't wanna see his face"

"When did he get back?" Abigail asks.

"He just got back yesterday"

"Fuck him, I don't wanna talk about him, what was the good news?" Sofia leans against the sink.

"This" she hands them a flyer for a valentine's school dance tomorrow "This seems like fun"

"Except the part that you have to bring a date and i'm single" Sofia hands her back the flyer.

"So what, the date doesn't have to be a boy, we 3 can go together"

Abigail phone lights up "you two can go together, I'm going with somebody"

"Who, Elijah?" Sofia looks over to her.

"Yes" Abigail smiles "Sorry"

"And he Wonder's why i want nothing to do with him, He's a player" Linsey rolls her eyes.

"It's fine, We both can go together" Sofia grabs around Linsey's arm "We don't need you"

"Oh shut up" Abigail laughs.

The bell rings "let's get to class"

*******************

The next day around 5pm Sofia is looking through her closet for something to wear to the dance.

"You're still looking for something?" Abigail walks in the room.

"Oh you look so beautiful"

"Thank you" Abigail smiles "Now let me help you cause we're leaving in 30 minutes and you need plenty of time to get yourself together" Abigail walks over to Sofia's Closet and begins looking for something.

"See now this" She holds up a light pink high low dress "is cute, it doesn't show too much"

"You're right, this is cute" She grabs the dress and begins putting it on.

"Here" Abigail hands her some matching light pink heels and she puts them on.

"See you look great, now let's do your hair" She grabs the flat iron turning it on and begins flattening her hair.

"So you just want nothing to do with peter anymore?"

"I want nothing to do with him, I don't wanna talk to him, I don't wanna see his face, I don't wanna hear his voice, I don't even wanna hear his name"

"Wow, You're really done with him"

"I've been done with him, Wouldn't you be too? He cheated on me With my cousin, Our cousin!"

"Okay, I'm sorry Sofia" She grabs her hugging her "I didn't mean to Upset you"

"You didn't Upset me I just don't wanna talk about him"

"Okay fine"

About 15 minutes Later she finishes doing her hair then begins doing her makeup. "See now you look so beautiful" Sofia looks in the mirror and smiles "thank you"

"Your welcome" Abigail smiles "Now let's get ready to go, Linsey said she's gonna Wait for us outside of the Dance and Elijah said he'll be here in 5 minutes to come pick us up.

"Okay" Sofia grabs her a tan cardigan putting it on then grabs her phone and they leave the room.

"Look at my two beautiful babies" Mrs. Brady walks up to them both hugging them "you girls look beautiful"

"Thanks mom"

"You're welcome, Let me get a pic of you two together" She takes out her phone and they hug each other and she takes a pic. The doorbell rings and Abigail opens it as Elijah walks inside "hey"

"Elijah what a nice surprise, Are you here with Sofia?"

"Um no, actually I'm Abigails date"

"Oh, Well you came at the right time, let me get a pic of you 3 together"

"He gets in the middle grabbing around both of their waists and their mom snaps a pic.

"Okay well we should go, don't wanna be late"

"Okay have fun, but not too much fun" she hugs them both again.

"We won't"

"Bye Mrs. Brady" He waves at her before they leave.

"Well you two are looking beautiful tonight" He grabs around both of their necks and begins walking with them.

"Thank you" Abigail kisses him on the cheek And Sofia just smiles. They get into his car and he starts the car then drives off.

"So do you have a hot date or something?" Elijah asks Sofia.

"Yes, Linsey"

Elijah laughs "Really?"

"Yes really"

"Oh that sucks"

Abigail hits him in the arm "I didn't mean it like that, I just meant to say It sucks how No one from school asked you to the dance, you're a beautiful girl, i don't know whats wrong with them"

"Thanks" She looks down at her feet "I really don't care though"

"Don't worry, you'll be with us the whole time"

Elijah finally arrives at the school parking his car and they step out.

"Finally you guys arrived, I've been waiting here for like 20 minutes" Linsey stands there with her arms crossed.

"Sorry, I still had to get ready" Sofia replies.

"Well let's go" They walk inside the school building and to the gym room where everyone is. "Look who got stuck making the drinks" Linsey laughs and they look over to see Peter handing out drinks.

"Ugh" Sofia rolls her eyes "I'm not going over there"

"I'll get you a drink" Linsey walks away followed by Abigail and Elijah and they come back a few seconds later handing her some punch.

"Let's try to ignore all the negativity and let's just have some fun" they chug their drinks then throws the cups away.

"Okay well let's dance" Linsey grabs Sofia arm and they 4 walk over to all the people and begins dancing. They dance for about 10 minutes "okay, i can not dance anymore with these big ass heels on" Abigail walks over to a table and sits down.

"Girl do you see these big ass heels i have on?" Linsey replies with a laugh and sits down next to her.

"You shouldn't have put them on then" Elijah says.

"A dress goes with heels, not shoes, not wedges, heels."

A slow song plays and everyone finds their partner and begins dancing with them. "Do you wanna dance?" Peter walks up to Sofia.

"Why would I wanna dance with you?"

"Come on please Sofia, its been 5 months since I've last seen you, we need to talk"

"We don't need to Do anything, Besides I already have someone to dance with, let's go" She grabs Elijah hand pulling him away from Peter.

"let's just dance so he can leave me alone" He grabs around her waist and she grabs around his neck and they begin to dance.

"What did he do to you that made you so pissed at him?"

"You guys are friends, Why don't you just ask him"

"Actually we're not friends, Me and him been stopped being cool about a year ago"

"Oh" Sofia clears her throat "Well I'm pretty sure you don't care about my ex drama"

"Well I'm asking Which means I do care, do you not want me to care?"

"Okay well, he cheated on me with My cousin, it was a Family reunion and my mom suggested that i should Invite him over so i did, When i went to sleep he hooked up with my Cousin and i woke up just in time to catch him leaving the guest room"

"that is so fucked up, If you gonna cheat at least make sure you don't get caught"

"Not helping"

"Sorry" he laughs "I'm not laughing at the fact that you got cheated on, Some men are just stupid"

"Yeah i know"

"I never thought in a million years we both would be dancing together" Sofia changes the subject.

"Me either but so far you're actually not that bad."

"I could say the same for you" She smiles and he returns a smile.

"Hey so what do you think about coming over tomorrow?"

"Okay, Also Abigail gave me a perfect idea, we should do the project on Building an Autonomous Arduino Robot with Bump Sensors"

"Um, explain"

She laughs "I'll let you know more tomorrow"

"Okay, sounds like a plan"
