"Yeah..." I trailed off. Gulping, I cleared my throat to ask him a question I was always insecure about, "Luke am I a good-"
"Look at that! It's the squad." Luke cut off, pointing to something. I wanted to ask Luke if I did a good job as his girlfriend, it bothered me always.
Shrugging it off, I looked at the direction-the road he pointed not far enough from us but far enough for us to see.
"What are they doing?" He wondered out loud.
I looked at the squad, all of them were there except Eion. Dax is hugging Emma by his side with him shouting something for Leroy and Leroy glared at him, coming for Hannah to rescue him but Hannah just walked far from him.
Leroy just gave up and stopped to prepare for something. He t
Class came. And things were awkward, with Eion still not showing a sign anywhere.The couples around us were very sweet and I wanted to puke at the sight.And after that conversation with Luke at their house last New Year’s Eve, Luke has been avoiding me. Whenever our eyes met, he would immediately act as nothing happened.Whenever we crossed paths, he'd immediately turn around and run away from me as fast as he could.Well, I think it's better since I don't have the right to face him now.What he said last time really struck me to the core. He has a point. And he’s giving me time to think about it.Because it's true. I really am confused now. E
With the days passing by, our senior prom is already approaching. With Emma and Hannah still not talking to me, I had finally decided on it.I went straight home these past few days.I stood up to welcome my mother at the door, who was so happy with a wide grin on her face. "Hi mom, why are you so happy today?" I asked, scratching my head.She didn't reply but instead, flashed me a wide grin and an evil expression.It turns out that she wanted to take a measure of my body. She took a tape measure and began earlier, finishing just now.I stared at her deadpan, now realizing it. "Mom, if you think I'm going to go to the prom, no. I won't. Never." Yes, I decided I’ll just don’t go to the prom. I don&rsquo
A week passed by and now's the day of our senior high prom. With my week containing fights and arguments, I was so exhausted to see my mom standing at the front door of our house just as I got home with a big grin on her face, holding a big carton box that I'm afraid I know what's inside is."Snow!" She called out, singing my name."Oh hey, mom!" I sent her a sheepish smile and waved at her. "Bye!" I ran towards the back door of the house and went straight to my bedroom and locked my door shut."But you'll miss this for the rest of your life!" I heard mom yelling from the other side of the door, banging it so loud."Don't care." I spat, licking candies that I had stored thankfully."Please? For me?" Mom begged again.
"And the winner for prom queen is.....Ember Wilson!"We all applauded the girl. Some girl won the prom queen and it was Ember, the girl who I sat within my literature class."And the winner for prom king is.....Luke Jackson!" Said the announcer for the day.We all cheered at them, and they both stood beside each other. They really look good together. I hope Luke finds happiness in her.Emma glanced at me, studying my reaction to see if I reacted weirdly but I just gave her a thumbs up, “They look good together.”She nodded, patting me on the head.Heading home straight after that, I got in Dax's car with the rest of the squad following me. They
He then went behind the bushes and pulled out a bouquet of flowers.Like from the flowers decorated around us, they were different kinds like one rose, one daisy, one tulip, and many more just in the single bouquet.On the other hand, he hid something behind his back that I can't see from my view despite the fact that we are filled with lights everywhere.He went to me and gave me the roses then showing his other hand to reveal a tub of chocolate ice cream."What's this?" I asked.He cleared his throat, "Will you give me the chance and eat this with me there?" He pointed to the comfy blanket and pillow setup.Shrugging, I just laughed at him and nodded, feeling a bit a
"Or...you're afraid to say yes to this dance because you're already falling in love with me?" he said.My ears flamed hot as I pursed my lips. I can't bring my mouth to answer him because deep down, my heart already knows who it is. My heart already knows it....and he's right."I-I'm not afraid," I said bravely but stammered. I don't know where I get the courage to say that because my knees are so weak that I can't guarantee I still can stand up properly without his support."Say yes to me, then." He dared, and I gulped."Well damn it, Eion! Let's just end it once and for all!”With his hands on my waist and my arms on his neck, we danced, swaying slowly to the beat of the song. It felt like we had our own w
He was now crying silently, tears and tears coming. I wanted to wipe that away and hug him and tell him it's going to be okay. Because he doesn't have a person who'll tell him that, it's only his dad and him.I feel so terrible, it doubled from hating myself. A lump in my throat formed as my vision blurred. I wipe it away instantly. I hate that I am the reason why he was in a mess.Now that things came to this, there's no backing down. It will be unfair if he is the only one who'll confess. I had to confess also.I cleared my throat. "You know, Luke was the one I noticed that time because he was..""Because he was Prince charming?" He asked."Yeah. Like that. Handsome, nice, sweet, caring, and friendly." He glared
"Congratulations, Batch 2018!"The crowd burst into claps as the graduation ceremony ended. I blinked, looking around with my eyes widened in awe.It really ended. We graduated high school! One by one, the herd of the crowd squeezed into each other as they excitedly rushed to their sons, daughters, or relatives to congratulate.I wanted to go to find mom and Nathan but couldn't move from the crowd so I just stayed, standing in the middle.With the chaos and loud chattering of words of congratulations here and there and the flash of cameras as excited moms rushed to their graduated child, "Snow!" I heard someone calling out.I spotted mom squeezing from the crowd with a camera in her hand. She was grinning fr
