I just gave him a reassuring nod, while stepping out of his hands and walked to my truck. I got in and started it up. Travis followed and stood outside my window staring at me while it warmed up. I looked at him with anger still boiling inside me.

I finally did it, I finally stood up to that cunt. All these years avoiding and ignoring them finally caught up to me. I never have been in a fight before and now that it happened I wanted more. I wanted to see blood running from her head. I wanted to take on the other rats that were always hanging around her making fun of me too. I'm sure that would have happened if Travis didn't have this prom obsession, with me going.

"Don't be mad a me."

"Travis, I finally had the opportunity to bash her face in. Why is this prom such a big deal to you?"

"I know, I'm sorry, it just is. I'v been wanting to go, but only if you go too. Your my best friend Kendall, please don't be upset. How about we hang out when we get home?"

"No, I'm going for a ride after this. I need to let out some steam." I said, looking behind me to pull out.

He didn't say anything after that and I headed home. I went straight to the barn when I got there. I put the saddle on Letty and headed out to the wash behind Travis's side of the houses.

During this time of year it was dried out with only sand and about 10 miles long. It was the perfect place to run her. I got her going and the rush of wind blowing in my face was soothing. When ever I was mad or had to calm down about something, I would run Letty as fast as she could go.

When I got back to the house, I trotted her in the gates. I removed her saddle and hosed her off, before going in the house. When I got in, no one was home.

I went to finish the little bit of homework I had and made myself some dinner. I was feeling better and started thinking about the prom again. Travis is such a spaz. "I want to go, but only if you go." I mocked him from earlier to myself out loud.

Urg, that punk is really getting to me. "Zack Bently?!" I mocked his voice again to myself and rolled my eyes as I was eating.

Why the hell did he yell it like that? He's going with Lexy, its not like he was going with me anyway.

He said he was going to kiss my neck and shit I was going to let him.

Just hormones Kendall, thats all it is, just hormones. I was exhausted from thinking about him and his weird actions lately and went to bed early.

The next couple days at school were hilarious. Everytime I would walk past the bitch pack, they ignored me like I used to do to them. I even tried one time at lunch to give a dirty look their way, but they acted like I was invisible.

I felt like a million bucks.

Shit! I should have done that years ago. I probably would have had a better time in this place. Oh well, one more month to go anyway and I'm out. I had to tell Travis and planned to, but he was gone with Lexy everyday after school. Tomorrow was the prom, so I planned on telling him when I see him there instead.

The day of the prom after school, I was a nervous wreck. My mom was in the middle of doing my hair, when I started having second thoughts about going. I have never danced ball room style with a guy before, except for one of those penguin dances you step foot to foot slowly together.

What if Zack knew how to dance good and I step on his feet the whole time? What if its a fast song and I fall on my face, cause I'm wearing these damn deviled heals?

"Mom, I don't think I want to go." I said, looking at her through the mirror. She caught on to my nervousness and smiled at me.

"You look like I did when I married your dad." She chuckled and went back to curling my hair. "You'll be fine, just relax and enjoy yourself. Trust me you will have a wonderful time."

"But what if Zack is a great dancer and I fall on my face or worse on his face? Not to mention this dress, no one but Travis has seen me in a dress before mom. Im going to get so many stares, I hate it when people stare at me."

"Well they'll be staring at you, cause you look beautiful in it and that would be good stares, right? Look your date is on his way and that would be rude to back out after he spent the money already to take you."

"I'm sure he wouldn't mind mom. Hello! He's a Bently" I said, rolling my eyes.

She ignored me though and unraveled the last lock of my hair. She obviously didn't understand the underline meaning of my comment.

"There! All done, you look gorgeous Kendall." She said, looking at me through the mirror again, smiling ear to ear.

I just gave her a thank you and a quick smile after that. I started to feel a little better after talking to her though. We usually don't talk that much anymore and this little chat we just had was nice.

I walked to my room to gather up my clothes and shoes I planned to wear afterwards in my bag.

The door bell rang shortly after that. I looked at the clock and noticed it was exactly 6 pm. Zack wasn't joking about being here on time. I heard my mom open the door before I stepped out my room. I met my dad when I reached the living room and he smiled at me.

"You look amazing."

"Thanks dad."

I gave him a hug and we walked towards the door together where my mom was talking to Zack. He looked incredibly sexy in his suit. It looked so silky and comfortable. I started to think to myself why I never noticed him before.

He no longer looked like the kid that sat behind me in math. This suit turned him into a striking hunk that was making me drool. He turned away from talking to my mom when he noticed my dad and I in the corner of his eye coming towards him.

"Zack."

"Kendall."

His eyes went from wide eyed in amazement seeing me in a dress, to a serious one looking at my dad next to me. I chuckled inside a little for how nervous he looked.

"This is my dad and I see you already met my mom." I said, as my dad walked in front of me to shake his hand.

"Zack is it?" My dad asked, shaking his hand so hard it jiggled his arm.

"Yes sir."

"You guys need to be home at a decent time, ok?"

"Dad!" I yelled at him for his behavior. "Goodness your going to break his arm." I hurried to rescue his grip he had on Zack.

"Ye-es of course sir, wh-at time do you want us back?" Zack stuttered.

"Lets leave them alone hun." My mom said, grabbing my dad trying to turn him around, but he was still eye balling him as he turned his body to walk off with my mom.

"Just you bring her back, you hear?"

"He will dad, chill out!"

"Don't worry about him." I said, reassuring him everything was ok. He looked like he was going to piss his pants though "He loves me a lot and hasn't seen me with other guys except for Travis."

"You never dated before?" He said, tilting his head in confusion.

"No I have, but my dad doesn't know that silly. Like I'm really going to talk about my flings with my dad, think about it." I said, shaking my head and leading him towards the door to leave.
