I could tell this was gonna be a pretty interesting night.
“You guys get down here!!!!!!!” I yelled at Morgan and Dominique who were still upstairs.
“Hey, Tay, where is Ike?” I asked, as I shut the door behind Zac and Starla.
“He went to get flowers for Dominique, ”Tay replied. I made a face at Tay, who had not bothered to buy me flowers. He smiled and blushed, obviously embarrassed at his mistake. I ran upstairs to check on Dominique and Morgan.
“Are you guys coming?” I asked.
“Yep, sorry we took so long,” Morgan replied as she grabbed her matching red, feather boa. Then, I heard the doorbell ring. I ran downstairs and opened the door.
“For you, Gwen,” a disheveled looking Tay said to me as he handed me a dozen red roses. I peered around him and saw a Ike who was flowerless, and limping on one foot.
“Next, time Taylor, I’m gonna bust out my karate moves on you,” Ike said as he glared at Tay.
“Yeah, I’m sure ya are, Ike,” Tay replied with a satisfied smirk on his face.
“ARE WE GOING TO GO????” Zac said impatiently.
“Yeah, as soon as Mark gets here,” I told him.
“ok,”he replied.
****************************
Ike’s red mustang pulled into the school parking lot, and we got out. Arm in arm Tay and I walked into the dance. Dominique and Ike stayed in the car wildly making out in Ike’s back seat. Zac and Starla had walked away from the car disgusted with Ike and Dominique’s make-out-session. Morgan and Mark walked along side Tay and I. We walked into the dance and standing right there was Barbara, Wanda, and Yolanda!
“OH MY GOD WANDA,” Barbara said hyperventilating,” It’s Taylor Hanson, I know it is, I know it is.”
“Not it’s not you GAY,” Yolanda said,” Everywhere you go, you always think you see him.”
Tay, who had witnessed Barbara’s outburst, made a break for it.
“Excuse me, excuse me,” Barbara said, pushing her way through the crowd after Tay. She finally caught up to him and grabbed his tight black shirt ripping it with her long, nasty, fungus-crusted, fingernails.
“WHAT,”Tay asked in a pissed off voice as he turned around facing Barbara.
“What’s your name,” Barbara asked curiously.
“YOU CHASED ME DOWN, AND RIPPED MY SHIRT SO YOU COULD FIND OUT MY NAME!!!!??????” Tay replied and then added,” WHAT KIND OF PSYCHO ARE YOU?”
“I KNEW it, I KNEW it,” Barbara screeched excitedly,” YouR Taylor HANSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!”
“uhhh....no I’m not, my name is....ummm.....uhhhh......Dave...yeah yeah.....Dave,” Tay said, trying to hide his identity.
“No it’s not!!!!!!, YOUR TAYLOR HANSON!” Barbara yelled. She grabbed onto his shirt again and then screamed again. Just then, Ike and Dominique came into the dance looking for Tay. They spotted Tay and Barbara, and walked over to them.
“What are you doing Taylor?” Ike asked.
“SEE, YOU ARE TAYLOR, I KNEW IT!!!!!! AND YOU’RE IKE!!!!!!” Barbara screeched wildly. Tay gave Ike a
“that didn’t help” look.
“I’ve been looking for you everywhere, where’s Zac and Starla????” Ike asked Tay.
“ZAC’S HERE TOO!!!!!!!” Barbara yelled ecstatically.
“Listen,”Ike said as he turned to Barbara,” will you go away if we sign our autographs on something for you?”
“SURE, but I want one more thing to,” Barbara said with an evil gleam in her eyes,” a kiss from Taylor.....on the lips. Tay cringed at the thought.
“Ok,”Ike agreed, being glad it wasn’t him. Then, he grabbed a pen and napkin from the food table and signed his autograph and passed the napkin to Tay. After he signed it he handed it to Barbara.
“What about Zac?” Barbara asked.
“Uhhh...I’m sure if he was here he would sign it for You,” Ike said.
To his surprised Barbara didn’t mind too much, all she wanted was her kiss. She leaned in to Tay expectantly, puckering her cold-sore infested lips. She closed her eyes and Tay, Ike and Dominique made a break for it. When, she opened her eyes she found Tay and Ike nowhere to be found.
********************************
My MAC lipstick was wearing off, where the heck was Tay? I had been sitting there next to Morgan and Mark watching them suck face for the past hour. I grabbed my maroon, velvet, FOREVER21 backpack and headed towards the bathroom. As I walked through the door, I ran smack into a very disoriented Barbara.
“YOU!” she yelled at me,” YOU WERE WITH MY TAYLOR!”
“Get out of my way, you STUPID GIRL,” I said to Barbara.
“Who are you and why were you holding Taylor Hanson’s hand?” Barbara inquired of me.
“None of your business, GAY” I yelled back at her. I was getting tired of fighting with Barbara so I distracted her by yelling,” Look- it’s the Backstreet Boys!”
“Where?” Barbara asked turning around. I ran as fast as I could away from her. I saw Tay, Ike, and Dominique go out the door and I made my way quickly through the growing crowd and caught up with them.
**************************
Tay, Ike, Dominique, and I waited patiently in Ike’s mustang for Zac, Starla, Morgan, and Mark.
“Some night Tay,” I muttered as I rested my head against his shoulder.
