The Night Before Prom Chapter 52 Oh Shit
“Hey,” Lily said the instant she walked into the classroom and spotted Stacey arranging her bag.Stacey looked up and smiled.“You good?” Lily asked as she settled into her chair.Stacey shrugged. “What about you?”“Yes,” Lily drawled with a smile as she pulled out a small box of chocolates. “My dad bought these for me from his trip. I told him to get you some.”Stacey smiled and hugged her. “Thank you.”“You saw the information in the group chat?” Lily asked.“No. What is it?” Stacey frowned.“We’re meeting in the general class for our project announcement.”“Oh…” Stacey’s brows creased. “I didn’t see that.”“Well, we should start heading there. And why don’t you bring your phone to school? This message was sent ten minutes ago.” Lily raised a brow.“My mum won’t let me. She says it’s a distraction.”Lily’s nose widened. “Well, she has a point, but you need it for information, and you’re in your finals.”“I’ll talk to her,” Stacey said as she stood.Lily stood too, and they walked to
The Night Before Prom Chapter 51 Mother and Daughter
Stacey sighed the instant she stepped into the house, every emotion she had been holding back spilling into her chest all at once. Her shoulders slumped, heavy with exhaustion, as she dragged her bag into the sitting room.“Oh my goodness.” She heard the groan followed by a quiet lament stopped her cold. Stacey froze mid step, her heart pounding hard against her ribs, as she saw her mother.“Mum, are you okay?”Elizabeth wiped her face quickly the moment she heard Stacey’s voice.“I’m good, Stacey.” She spoke stiffly, her gaze fixed straight ahead. “How was your trip?”A choking sound escaped her unconsciously, and she blew her nose quickly, as if hoping Stacey hadn’t noticed.“I’m fine. Your grandpa went out. He’ll be back soon, okay?” she added, her hands trembling slightly.Stacey’s stomach turned. An unsettling feeling crept over her skin. This was the first time she had ever seen her mother like this, fragile and breaking, and it made her feel helpless.“Mum…” Stacey took a hesit
The Night Before Prom Chapter 50 The Ride Back
Camp activities finally came to an end, but the relief everyone expected never arrived. Instead coldness filled the atmosphere.Stacey and Lily stayed close, their shoulders brushing as they waited for the buses to load. They didn’t speak much. Their silence was heavy, stitched together by everything they had survived in the last twenty-four hours.Across the field, Paul kept glancing their way. His eyes lingered on Stacey longer than necessary, guilt written clearly across his face. Every time their gazes almost met, he looked away, jaw tightening as if holding back words that no longer had a place to go.Stacey’s face looked hollow, her eyes dulled by exhaustion and hurt. When she lifted her head, her gaze collided with Derick’s.The pain struck instantly.She hissed under her breath, as if the sight of him had physically burned her. Lily felt it and tightened her grip around Stacey’s hand, grounding her, and Stacey didn’t look again.Derick, however, couldn’t stop looking.His expr
The Night Before Prom Chapter 49 When the Silence Finally Spoke
“Lily, don’t say that,” Stacey said calmly, even though her chest felt tight. She took Lily’s hands in hers, her fingers cold despite the warm night air.“You also left me, Stace,” Lily said, gazing deeply into her eyes. “You know I was ready to move on and conclude female friendships aren’t for me.”Stacey let out a small chuckle, though it didn’t reach her eyes.“I didn’t leave you, Lily. I was only avoiding you because I knew you were going to find a way to make Derick look innocent, and I didn’t want any of that.”Lily laughed softly under her breath. “Maybe I love you both too much, and not seeing you together breaks my heart too.”Stacey could see the sincerity in Lily’s face, the concern she never tried to hide.“I wish I had so much faith like you,” Stacey murmured, staring down at her fingers. “You know, I just…” She inhaled deeply. “I wish it wasn’t true most days. I wish it never happened. I wish it was even with another girl, not Monica. Not her. Somebody else.”Her lips t
The Night Before Prom Chapter 48 Cracks in the Circle
“Pass.”King’s sharp voice cut through the field as the girls on his team rehearsed for their volleyball game. He stood with his arms crossed, acting like a coach, barking instructions while tension rippled through the air. It clung to every glance they exchanged, heavy and unsettled.Stacey still hadn’t spoken to Lily. The distance gnawed at her chest. She missed her friend more than she wanted to admit, but she couldn’t face her yet, not when everything had fallen apart the night before.“Hey, you.”King’s voice snapped her attention just as the ball slammed straight into her face.She felt a strong pain hit her, bright and blinding, before anger followed fast and hot. Stacey lifted her head, blinking through the sting, and locked eyes with King. He wore a satisfied smile, like he had been waiting for it.“Are you crazy?” she barked.“No, I should be asking you that. To think you could walk in here and suddenly want to become First Lady.”“How does that connect to volleyball rehears
The Night Before Prom Chapter 47 A Mistake That Shouldn’t Happen
“You look like you could collapse,” Paul said as Stacey rested her head on his shoulder.“Yes, I’m very tired,” she replied, yawning deeply, a small chuckle escaping her lips.They had spent most of the day on the field, running drills and completing endless activities. Now night had settled in, cool air brushing against their skin. Crickets buzzed steadily around them as they sat on the rocky ground, a wide open space ahead where students clustered in small groups, laughter and low chatter floating through the dark.“Have you spoken to Lily?” Paul asked.Stacey shook her head.“Why?” he probed.“Because I’m not ready for Derick’s talk. Lily is going to bring that up, and she always finds a way to paint him right.”Paul took a deep breath. “Stacey, Lily always finds the good in everyone, but don’t lose your friends for someone you aren’t sure of.”The words struck her straight in the chest. Silence stretched between them, thick and heavy, until Stacey cleared her throat.“Paul.”“Yes?
