Emily saw the poster for a dance, which was tonight, before sighing. She couldn't go. Well... she COULD but she just didn't have a reason too. Swap and B approached her as Emily adjusted her gym bag strap. "Hi Em! Do you wanna go with me and B?" Swap asked.

Emily glanced at B just before she saw how much he didn't want her to say yes. "Sorry Swap. I'm busy." Emily lied, earning a perked from B. "Aww. Well, don't work too hard!" Swap said as he held B's hand. Emily nodded before the three separated.

"Emily! Me and the girls are doing a ladies night at the dance! Wanna come?" Zoey called. Emily looked and saw Hūa, AA, some newspaper club members, and some other girls she may have seen before. "Sorry guys. Gotta study." Emily lied again. "Well, let us know if you want to come!"

And Emily soon resumed walking. "Hey. Depressed flea bag." Emily stopped walking and turned around to see Jeremy and Swapfell. "We're gonna crash this party, I decided to ask if ya wanted to come." Jeremy said as Swapfell smirked. "Sorry. Not into virginity stealing parties." Emily snapped before walking home.

Emily pushed her key into the keyhole and turned the tiny piece of metal. She opened the door to a dark room. She sighed as she pulled the key out and walked in, closing the door behind her. Emily turned on the lights while dropping her bags.

Emily ate a piece of fruit before changing into her sleepwear. She walked into her room and opened her closet. She pulled out an old steel box as she took in a breath. Emily opened the box and begun to read the letters from her parents.

Hours passed, hours of Emily crying, when she heard her phone buzz. Emily sniffled before picking it up. She saw a text from SG. She opened her messages up and saw a picture of SG having fun with Alice and Sakura.

Hey, want us to pick you up? This party goes all night!

Emily took in a breath, tears rolling down her cheekbones, as she replied-

Nah. I'm good.

You sure?

Yeah. I'm fine.

Emily turned her phone off and curled up, hugging her legs, crying more. She didn't exactly see the point of going to parties and dances.

"Why go if your parents can't wave you 'bye'?"
