*November*

Arthur walks around the town right after school when he needs to spend time alone for a while but the only thing he sees is the man on the ground with the blanket and plastic cup, the man is homeless when Arthur comes for a little help to take out his five dollars and gives it to the man's cup while the homeless man still sleeping. He continued to walk around, walking past the women's clothing store while he looked at other theaters, "Living Room Theatres" including box movies on the sign and the bar room.

He tried to go in he didn't have anyone to take with him yet. He continues to move along when he stops at a men's clothing store he goes inside when he searches for a pair of match outfits for the homecoming dance. Meanwhile, Talia walks past a men's clothing store with her mom and doesn't see Arthur in there.

Eddie and Amy went to the mansion when they entered, they checked out the design of the dining room with the food on the table and frames.

Eddie: This is so unreal.

Amy: Last time, we went to this same place, like what happened to the others?

Eddie: I believe these rooms are a little bit changed. It's been months.

Amy: *nods*

Eddie: Let's check out some more stuff. *walking with Amy*

Later, Mia puts her stuff back in the closet after she orders her outfit from the homecoming dance she hangs it up with the hanger until Arthur climbs up the window and knocks on the door and she sees him.

Mia: *smiles and opens the window*

Arthur: Hey.

Mia: Hi. How do you climb up there?

Arthur: I always doing exercises.

Mia: I see.

Arthur: When it goes around, comes around. *goes inside to her room*

Mia: *shuts her window down* So, what's up?

Arthur: I know it sounds rough but I need to tell you something.

Mia: *hearing*

Arthur: Will you come with me to the homecoming dance?

Mia:...

Arthur: Please...

Mia: Arthur, I'm trying to do my best because my dad, he still doesn't wanna see you forever.

Arthur: *hearing*

Mia: I'm sick of following their rules, he just kept running out of his mouth, he knows what he wants from me. At least, my mom still taking on his side over me.

Arthur: *holds her hand and looks into her eyes*

Mia: *looking at his hand and looks at him*

Arthur: I don't care what your parents do. You only care about yourself.

Mia: All I want is to second chance with you.

Arthur: *starts kissing her*

Mia: *kisses him back softly*

Arthur: *still closer to her lip while looking at her* What is it?

Mia: *looks at him and continues kissing him*

Arthur: *kissing him back*

Mia: *whispers to his ear* Sit.

Arthur: *sits down on her bed*

Mia unbuttons his shirt when she can see his abs to see a little bruised side of his left stomach, she touches his abs while Arthur kisses him gently.

Mia: *kisses his abs twice*

Arthur: *takes Mia's shirt off and moves back lying down on the pillow*

Mia: *straddles him and moves her hair around to continue kissing*

Arthur: *kisses him back*

Later that night, Zach, Jason, Haley, and Talia are at the diner when they sit at the booth at each other during a confrontation about homecoming while they've been waiting for the food to come.

Haley: I'm very excited about this shit tomorrow.

Jason: With all the surroundings when everyone showed up to the dance, I don't do crazy things from the past. When I was walking around, dancing crazy, maybe...

Zach: You know what, it's fine. Did you film the blog before?

Jason: No.

Zach: Well you should do it.

Jason: *shakes his head*

Talia: Anyway, can we should hang out together tomorrow?

Zach: Yeah, we can do that. I mean, what else does the song turn to couple-themed music towards the end?

Haley: Maybe any songs will play for it.

Talia: *nods*

Arthur, Zach, and Tony go to the park while they are out of town, Tony tells them something about Homecoming issues.

Tony: Listen, guys. I can't come to the dance.

Zach: What? Homecoming is for the best. Everybody would be there.

Tony: I don't have anybody to take with me. Besides, I don't do dance that much.

Arthur: It's fine you can stay home and watch TV with binged shows.

Tony: I can't deny it.

Zach: How's everything with Mia? *looks at Arthur*

Arthur: She's fine.

Zach: Don't be shy now. Are you hooking up with her?

Arthur: No? She was getting ready tonight. No matter what.

Tony: If I had already ordered the pizza for tonight by myself, my parents still running out the food stamps in the next two weeks when the food stamps came back up.

Zach: Good grief.

Tony: Both of you, good luck. I'm just trying to do my best tonight.

Arthur: You'll get into it. *paddled his shoulder*

Tony: *feels it*

Arthur, Zach, Jason, Haley, Mia, and Talia getting ready for the homecoming dance for the night as they wearing outfits like this:

Arthur, Zach, Haley, Mia, Talia, and Jason:

Once the dance starts, Arthur arrives at the school he enters the large gym alone, he feels like the homecoming dance gives him goosebumps with loud music, disco ball, snacks, and drinks.

Kennedy: *walks over to him* Hey, I knew you were coming.

Arthur: Yeah, I know you from computer class.

Kennedy: *nods* Yeah, we are. Come with me. *walking*

Arthur: *follows her*

Kennedy: *walks over to Zach, Jason, and Talia* Guess what I brought.

Arthur: *sees them*

Zach and Jason: Ohhhh!!!

Talia: Ohhhh!!!

Arthur: *smiles a bit*

Zach: This shit looks dope on you, bro.

Arthur: No questions asked. Let's have a good time. Wait, is Mia here?

Talia: She's gone to the bathroom and, Jamie is on the way to setting up the band.

Arthur: Is he doing any kind of instrument?

Talia: Drummer.

Arthur: I thought he couldn't be here.

Jason: He doesn't have any dress to wear. He just called me for a surprise.

When everybody was applauding Jamie who was standing there on the stage, he was introduced for one performance of the song, when she wrote the song called, "He Loves Me, But..." while Mia prepared to sing and she stood right in front of the mic on the stage.

Jamie: Give it up for Mia!

All: *cheers*

Talia: Woo!

Mia: *sees all people applaud and holds the mic*

Jamie: *starts playing drum*

Mia: *starts singing* "He loves me, loves me, loves me, but...
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but...

Tell me, did you know right from the start
That we would end up right here where we are?
Oh, you're such a good guy, play the part
Showin' up with only half a heart

He says it's best for me
But I don't really remember him askin' me
He says it's best for me
But I don't really remember him askin'

He loves me, loves me, loves me, but...
He says he can't
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but...
He's not ready yet
All I remember are your drunken half-forevers
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but...

Kindly, I resign
Babe, you hold the record for goodbyes
You wanna be the good guy, dry your eyes
Frankly, darling, you don't get to cry, cry

He says it's best for me
But I don't really remember him askin' me
He says it's best for me
But I don't really remember him askin'

He loves me, loves me, loves me, but...
He says he can't
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but...
He's not ready yet
All I remember are your drunken half-forevers
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but...

He loves me, loves me, loves me, but...
He says it's best for me
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but...
I don't remember him askin' me
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but...
He says it's best for me
I still love you, love you, love you, but... *finished singing*

Everyone was cheering loudly for an ovation to Mia when they heard her voice in the flow until Jamie and Mia got off the stage. Once Mia came back to the large gym when she saw Arthur come to her.

Arthur: I saw you were killing this shit. You're the hottest one.

Mia: Really? How could you say that from the very beginning after we had sex for the first time? *smiles a bit*

Arthur: I'm not saying some bad energy.

Mia: Oh. I could respect you for what you saying so that you can hear me when I'm singing next time. Plus, we're not getting the crown of king and queen because we are met.

Arthur: I was gonna say the same thing. Someone else would win.

Mia: *nods* You're right.

DJ: *plays the track, "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran*

Arthur: Mia Clarke, if you dance with your heart, your body will follow.

Mia: Arthur McClain, I will take your hand when you ask me to dance. *holds his hand*

Arthur: *feels it*

Mia: *holding around his neck and starts dancing*

Arthur: *dancing with her*

Talia was also dancing with Zach, and Jason was dancing with Haley during the play of a love song while they gathered to dance with each other.

After the homecoming dance, Arthur takes Mia home for walks for the next 20 minutes until they stop walking on the porch, Mia says goodbye to Arthur before she kisses him and she goes inside the house before her boyfriend and two bullies show up.

Mia's boyfriend: *punches Arthur in the face*

Arthur: *falls on the floor into the house*

Mia: WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DOING? No! No!

Bullies: *holds Mia*

Mia's boyfriend: *kicking Arthur's stomach three times*

Mia: STOP! *crying a bit*

Arthur: *grunts*

Mia's boyfriend: So you were with him after you broke up with me? You were lucky I wasn't going through with you anymore. I'm lucky I can go to jail. That's on me. *looks at Mia until he takes out his gun and tries to shoot Arthur*

Mia: NO, STOP!

Mia's father: What the fuck is going on here?!

Mia's boyfriend and bullies: *runs away*

Mia: Have fun in jail, Teddy!

Mia's father: *sees Arthur* It can't be.

Mia's mother: I'm calling the ambulance.

Arthur: No! I'm fine...

Mia: No, you're not fine. You need help, OK?

Arthur: What about Thanksgiving next week?

Mia: You won't miss it out. I promise. Dad, help me!

Mia's father: *checking on Arthur*
