I Love Him

It's currently Prom Night.

Asher asked Stella to prom during her third class, so I couldn't witness it but according to her 'It was a dream come true'.

I haven't been asked, but Stella said that it was okay with her and Asher if I tagged along with them.

I said no since I don't want to third wheel.

Stella and I skipped school today so that we could sleep in and then later get our hair and makeup done by her mom since she's a professional.

"Thank you for doing this Mrs. Hayes" I say as she finishes applying my red lipstick

She used brown shades and a gold color for my eyeshadow. She also curled my eyelashes and applied mascara since I was blessed with long eyelashes. She used concealer so that she could conceal all of my stress acne and under-eye bags. She used some contour and highlight for my cheeks so that my face would look less babyish and more mature. Lastly she used a deep red matte lipstick for my lips and gave me the tube so that I could reapply if necessary.

"Woah" I say as I look in the mirror at her end product

I literally look like a new person.

With this makeup on I could pass as twenty one.

"I'll take that as a good thing" Mrs. Hayes says with a lighthearted laugh which makes me smile as I look at her

"You're seriously a miracle worker" I say with a grateful tone which makes her smile with appreciation before she calls Stella into her room so that she can start on her makeup

As Stella steps into the room she stops dead in her tracks when her eyes land on me

"You look so fucking sexy" she says with her jaw hung open which make me blush

She's never said that to me before.

"Stella Claire Hayes" her mom scolds her which snaps Stella out of her gawking

"What?" She asks innocently before walking to me and putting and arm around my waist which in return makes me place one around her shoulders

"You made her look like a literal model" She says as she points to my face to my face which makes her mom and I laugh

"Just sit in the chair, child" her mom says as she points to the chair across from her which makes Stella shrug before she walks towards the chair

I decide to leave them alone and pick what hairstyle I want since I couldn't decide.

"Hey, Amelia, have yo-" I hear Easton ask which causes me to look up but he stops as soon as he sees my face

"Woah..." he says as he stares at me with wide eyes and a opened mouth

I pout as I walk up to him and close his mouth before smirking

"You'll let flies in" I say before I continue my walk to Stella's room.

-

I settled on spiral curls as my hair style which added to the whole 'sexy adult look' according to Stella.

Stella has an icy type of makeup look on along with a low messy bun that contains small white flowers and silver glitter.

When we were finally done getting ready Easton already left but he said something along the lines of going to the store so we didn't question it.

Asher came over and gave Stella a white corsage so that it matches her dress before we all left to go to prom, thirty minutes late might I add.

What? I couldn't find my purse.

Anyway, as soon as we arrived at prom I got practically surrounded by most of the guys, some even left their dates, which resulted in me losing Stella and Asher.

"Amelia, I love your dress"

"Amelia, I love your hair"

"Amelia, You look hot"

I tuned the rest of everything they said out when I landed my eyes on Emma. She was glaring at me from the snack table.

"Excuse me, I'll be right back" I say to the group of boys as I slip by them and walk to her.

It's not like I have anyone to talk to since most of the females hate me because their dates won't stop gawking at me.

When I reach her I give her a genuine smile which causes her glare to turn into a look of confusion.

"What do you want?" She asks not rudely but not nicely either

"I just want to talk" I say honestly

I just want to get behind the reason why she hates me since I don't remember doing anything rude or evil to her.

"Okay?" She says skeptically

I don't blame her. I would be skeptical too if the person I despise the most asked me to talk.

"I just want the honest answer," I say which makes her nod her head as if saying 'continue'

"Why do you hate me so much?" I ask her which causes her breath to hitch in surprise since I guess she wasn't expecting me to say that. She looks around us before turning back to me.

"It's not safe to talk here" she says before she grabs my wrist and drags me to the girls locker room.

Her answer can't possibly be that bad.

Can't it?

When we're safely inside the locker room she looks at me with an emotionless expression before she sighs and sits down.

"It was the first day of school, I saw you at your locker and was immediately attracted to you. The way you looked cute, but hot. The way you moved so gracefully. You were mesmerizing" she says which makes my eyes widen and my cheeks redden since I didn't think anyone was watching me that morning

"Then suddenly I hear someone yell your name before you're both hugging. You both looked so close, almost like you were lovers, but that thought was quickly shut down when I saw the way you and Easton stared at each other later that same morning." She says before she looks down at the floor and continues while I just look at her with shock evident on my face

"I was jealous. I wanted to make you mine, but I knew that would never happen. When I saw you in gym class and lunch I wanted to get closer to you, but I didn't want to make it obvious and end up scaring you away" she says with a weak voice which makes me frown

I feel so sorry for her.

"When you tried out for cheerleading, I was very impressed with your tryouts and I thought that since you're as experienced as me, I could make you co captain which also meant that we would spend more time together" she says which makes me look at her with a confused look

She really thought this through.

"When I saw that you and Easton were getting closer I got jealous, so I wanted to break you guys up. So I used Stella to do it since I know that he's protective over her." She says with a sad expression

"When he started to ignore you I used it as my chance to get closer to you which inevitably failed" she says with a sarcastic laugh that makes me smile

At least she's explaining it to me.

"When you and Stella worked things out I got jealous again, but this time it looked like you both were closer than ever. So I started to bully you and bring you down so that I could feel better" she says as she looks up at the wall with an emotionless expression

"When I saw that, that wasn't effecting you I went after Easton. I never liked him nor do I like him now, but I had to pretend that I did so that I could break you both up" she says which makes my shocked look come back

Wow.

"When you both got into that huge fight I was going to going to express to you my feelings for you, but I saw Stella running towards you so I said some words to hurt you before I left" she says

"I tried to convince Easton to hang out with me so that I could see what type of guy he is slash see how strong his feelings were for you" she says before she looks me in the eyes and smiles

"He really loves you" she says with a sniffle before she looks down and let's some tears slide down her cheeks

"During the whole falling out between you two he kept ignoring me, but whenever I saw you I pretended like we were flirting with each other so that you would think that he moved on" she says as she looks up towards the wall

"And that night at the movie theater when you caught us, he followed Stella there when she said that she had to tell you something. I was there with my mom but snuck away when I heard him mention something about you as he walked by me. When he caught me he was threatening to get a restraining order against me and that's when you caught us. You looked confused so I just smirked at you so that you would get the wrong idea." She says before taking a deep shaky breath

"I just wanted you all to myself and I guess that I was crazy enough to ruin every relationship you had with everyone to get it" she says with a sad voice

"I'm so so so incredibly sorry, Amelia" she says as she continues to look down at the floor

Wow.

That's definitely not what I expected.

I walk towards her and pull her up before I wrap my arms around her in a hug.

I feel like she needs one.

"If you would've told me earlier, we could've worked something out" I say with an emotionless voice as she wraps her arms around me tightly

I don't know what emotion to have right now.

She practically just confessed that she had a crush on me for the whole school year and we currently only have three weeks of school left.

"I'm sorry" she says and she begins to cry

"Shh, don't cry" I say as I rub her back

"This is not the Emma I know" I say as I pull away and wipe her tears

Wow, her makeup is incredibly waterproof.

"I'm sorry" she says

"Stop apologizing" I say with a smile which makes her look at me in confusion

"I understand that love makes you do crazy and stupid things, but everyone deserves a second chance" I say which makes her smile

"Really?" She asks with a hopeful expression that makes me laugh

"Of course" I reply

"Now, we're going to go dance and actually enjoy Prom before testing starts next week" I say to her which makes her smile widen

"See that's why I fell in love with you. You're always so positive and happy" she says which makes me smile

I feel bad for all of the pain that I've caused her all year, so I do the first thing that I can think of that will make her feel better.

I peck her cheek.

When I pulled away she looked at me with shock and happiness before she blushed and looked happier than ever.

As we made our way out of the locker room, I hear that they're going to announce Prom King and Queen soon.

I lead Emma onto the dance floor and we dance to the upbeat song.

In this moment I had no worries.

Everything felt perfect.

I finally felt stress free.

When the song ends everyone claps as our School's principal walks onto stage and grabs a microphone.

"Hello Students, I'm going to announce the school's most voted Prom King and Queen" he says before he grabs an envelope from the table behind him that has the crowns on it

"And your Prom King is..." he speaks into the microphone before he rips open the envelope and reads a name

"Easton Hayes" he says which makes me smile and clap for him along with everyone else.

I see Easton appear from a random crowd of people as she makes his way onto the stage. When he's standing beside the principal, the principal grabs the gold circle crown and places it onto Easton's head which makes the crowd go wild.

"And your Prom Queen is..." the principal says into the microphone before he grabs another envelope and rips it open. After thoroughly reading it he speaks

"Emma DíLance" he says which makes everyone clap in confusion as some whisper about their confusion

I hug her and push her towards the stage.

She had a frown on her face though.

When she makes it onto the stage, the principal is about to grab the sliver tiara on the table so that he can place it on her but she stops him and grabs the microphone

"I refuse to accept this crown. Instead I want to give it to Amelia. She's the real Prom Queen here tonight" she says which makes everyone clap and scream out words of agreement, some even whistle

I look at her like she's crazy, but all she does is motions with her hand for me to go onto stage. I shake my head which makes her roll her eyes in annoyance before she walks down and grabs my hand, practically dragging me on stage.

I smile sweetly at everyone before I turn to her and look at her with wide eyes

"What are you doing?" I whisper to her which just makes her smile

"How many of you guys think that Amelia would make an excellent Prom Queen?" She asks as she turns towards to crowd

Everyone starts to clap and cheer, but I still feel unsure.

I feel someone grab hand and intertwine our fingers which makes me look at the person, only to be met with a smiling Easton.

He places his other hand on my cheek as I turn my body to face him

"Please" he says

That was all the reassurance I need.

I nod my head with a smile at him which makes the crowd go wild and causes Easton's smile to widen.

I turn towards Emma and let her gently place the tiara on my head, which weirdly fits perfectly.

I hug her and thank her before I walk back towards Easton.

"Would you like to go outside, my queen?" He asks as he holds out his bicep for me to hold which makes me laugh at the pet name

"Yes I would, my king" I say to him as I grab on the arm that he offered before we make our way through the crowd and outside of the school.

As we sit on a bench it starts to rain which makes me smile.

I barely rains here, but when it does it looks magical.

"Do you want to dance?" He asks as he grabs my hand which makes me smile

"There's no music" I say

"We don't need music" he says before he guides me out into the rain and pulls our bodies together

I wrap my arms around his neck as his go around my waist. We try to dance but we both have the same intense look in our eyes.

I lean in so that our noses are touching which causes us to close our eyes as our breaths become more harsher.

"I can't stand being friends with you. Everytime I see you all I want to do is push you against a wall and kiss you" he whispers out which makes me smile a little

"So, what are you going to do about it?" I ask him teasingly with a breathless voice

"This" he says before he connects our lips which makes me reach up and place my hands on his cheeks.

It feels like forever until we pull away, due to lack of oxygen.

"Wow" I say breathlessly

"Do I still have a chance with you?" He asks as he pulls away so that we could look each other in the eyes

"Nope," I say which makes him frown and causes me to smile

"Because you already have me" I say which causes him to smile so widely that I'm afraid that his face will break

He suddenly lifts me up and spins me around which causes me to laugh.

"Let's leave before we get sick" I say which he sets me down

"Okay" he says before he grabs my hand and leads me towards his car
