As soon as I walked into school it was a mad house.
I was immediately surrounded by boys from every stereotype, from the chess club to the Quarterbacks.
They all kept asking The the same questions which consisted of...
"Amelia, now that you're single, do you want to go to prom with me?"
"Would you like to go on a date with me?"
"Who are you going to prom with because it should be me"
While others just kept handing me flowers and boxes of chocolates.
Easton broke up with me yesterday at the end of school where only the cheerleading team and football team were present but most likely in the locker rooms.
When I finally manage to get through the crowd of boys, I sprint towards my locker only to accidentally run into someone.
I feel all the gifts fall out of my grasp as I prepare myself to fall to the ground but it never came.
I slowly peek open my eye only to see a brown pair of eyes looking down at me with amusement
"Are you okay?" He asks when I can stand on my two feet again
"Yeah, Sorry, I was in a rush and I guess I didn't see where I was going" I say with an apologetic tone before I kneel down and start picking up all the gifts
"I see you're pretty popular with the boys" he says with a humor filled laugh as he starts to help me pick up the mess I made
"What makes you say that?" I ask as I continue to pick up the boxes and letters
"All of these love confessions," he says as he hands me his pile that he collected which makes me blush as I take them from him "Plus there's a crowd of boys behind you" he says as he points behind me which makes me groan in annoyance
No one has had the balls to ask me out in my years of living until now.
"Can you please help me out with them. I need to get to class in five minutes but they're blocking my route" I say with a pleading expression
"Okay, follow my lead" he says before he gently grabs my hand and helps me up
He places his arm around me which makes me tense as I lean in and try to look like this dude and I are in a relationship of some sort.
As soon as the group of boys see his arm placed around me, they glare at him before walking away which allows me to finally make my way towards my classroom
"Wow look at this," I hear Emma say from behind me "It seems like the Virgin Mary has moved on already" she says which causes me to turn around and glare at her
"I don't see why that's any of your business but no I have not" I say with a calm tone since I don't want to cause a scene
"Oh yeah? Then why was his arm around you?" She questions making me roll my eyes
Who is she? Nancy Drew?
"He was just escorting me to class" I say
"That's what they all say then next thing you know they're escorting you to bed" she says with a smirk
"Did that happen to you?" I ask with mock confusion since I'm done with her bullshit
"I'm nothing like you, I won't let a guy take advantage of me for his own gain" I say which causes her to turn red as the smirk she previously had falls into a scowl
She glares at me before she struts off down the hall.
What is with everyone today?
Did I come to the right school or am I in a alternate universe?
"I know this probably isn't the right time to ask this," the dude says which causes me to turn around towards him
"Do you maybe want to catch a movie with me?" He asks as his cheeks turn pink
Aww, he's blushing.
"Yes, Of course, it's the least I could do for all the help you've given me" I say with a sweet smile which makes him smile back at me.
"Meet me at the west side movie theater at seven" he says which makes me smile as I nod.
As soon as I walk into homeroom and sit in my seat, I'm immediately tackled into an embrace by Stella
"I saw you talking to a guy outside. You move on quick" she says with discomfort and confusion when we pull away from each other
"I don't have any feelings towards him but he did help me earlier so I agreed to go to the movies with him" I say
"Amelia" Stella says with a warning tone
"We're just two strangers going to watch a movie together. You and I both know I'm not over Easton, especially not this quickly" I say to her
"Okay" She says with hesitation in her tone before the teacher walks in and begins teaching us
-
School was torturous.
Emma felt the need to comment on everything that I did.
Random boys kept giving me gifts then tried to stay near me which resulted in Stella having to yell at them to go away.
The mysterious boy that I ran into this morning is, according to Stella, also a senior plus he's on the football team.
I found it weird how I haven't noticed him till now.
I haven't seen Easton at all today but when I came over after school, because Stella wanted to help me get ready for my movie hang out, he wasn't there.
"What movie are you guys going to watch?" Stella asks as she looks through her closet and starts to throw random clothes that are in her way
"I don't know. He never said" I say with a shrug which causes her to scoff
"It was a two second conversation" I say, trying to defend my point
She ignores me and instead hands me a dark blue dress that stops a little below my mid thigh area, a black leather jacket, and black combat boots.
"Thank you" I say with an appreciative tone before I start to change right there since I'm too lazy to walk all the way towards her bathroom.
When I'm done changing I turn towards Stella and see her looking at the wall with a blush on her face
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable" I say which causes her to turn her head towards me
"No, you're fine, a warning would've been nice though" she says before she hands me a brush
"I'll remember that for next time" I say jokingly before I accept the brush and brush my hair so that it's wavy instead of curly.
"What time is it anyway?" I ask since she took a long time to pick out an outfit
I asked her if she wanted my help when she was looking for an outfit but she refused to accept my invitation so I just nodded and let her do her thing.
"It's six fifty-five" she says with a shrug that makes me instantly stare at her in shock
"The movie theater is twenty minutes away and our original meeting time is in five minutes" I say as I grab a small black crossbody purse and fill it with my essentials before I stumble out of her room
"Tell me how it goes" I hear Stella yell out as I run down the stairs
"I will" I yell back before I run out her door and get into my car before I slightly speed towards the location.
I hope I'm doing the right thing.
"Hello?" I ask as I tap on his shoulderHe turns around and I'm met with those same pair of brown eyes that I saw in the hall today."I thought you were going to stand me up" he says with a lighthearted laugh that makes me smile"Of course not" I say as I grab his shaky hand and lead him over to the ticket booth.He ordered two tickets to watch the movie "Chicken Little" since it's a comedy and there currently weren't any scary movies playing."Since you paid for the tickets, I'm paying for the snacks" I say which makes him smile as turns towards me"I don't remember agreeing to that" he says with a teasing voice as we walk into the snack court"Well you're going to" I say with a smirk as I walk towards the popcorn counter."Hello, We'll take the buttered popcorn" I say to the brown haired guy whose behind the counter as the brown eyed boy walks up beside me"Of course, pretty lady" the guy behind the counter says with a wink before he starts to prepare the popcornOh my fucking goodn
Asher and I have been dating for a week now.He's been so sweet to me and we've been on a date everyday ever since he asked me out.Stella has been acting weird ever since we had an argument in the closet at the movie theater.Easton and Emma have been spending a lot of time together, but Easton looks miserable while Emma looks smug.Everytime Stella and I hang out she tries to find a reason to bring up Easton, but I shut it down before she can continue.I don't hate him, but I hate how he jumped to conclusions before confiding in me first.Me, Stella, and Asher are currently at lunch. I'm sitting beside Asher and Stella is sitting across from us and is eating her food with a pissed expression on her face."Babe, we should go to the ice skating rink after school" Asher says as he looks at me with excitement written on his face which causes Stella to scoff"Amelia doesn't know how to ice skate" she deadpans which causes me to glare at her before I turn to look at Asher with a smile"I
I texted Asher saying that I wasn't feeling well and that I needed to cancel our date before I left school.My mom picked me up from school and held me while I cried in her arms.She's usually traveling, so the fact that she was here and is willing to stay a few days because of me makes me feel happy.She immediately took me home without any words and placed me in my room."What's wrong, pumpkin?" She asks me as she hands me another carton of Ben and Jerry's ice creamI accept the carton and start to eat out of it as I look at the blank wall and continue to play the conversation in my mind of the argumentThe face he made before I walked away is currently haunting me.I feel bad.Even though he hurt me I feel like I was being a brat when I put all of the blame on him."It's nothing that ice cream won't fix" I say with a weak smile as my heart continues to hurt with every beat that it takes"I know that I'm barely here, but I know when you're lying" she says which makes me look down as
Asher and I are currently talking by my locker.I feel like I should tell him that I don't want to continue our relationship since my feelings for him aren't as strong as they were."Don't think that I hate you," I say when he looks down"I do like you, but it's more of a friendship type of love than a relationship" I say which makes him smile before he grabs my hand"I understand" he says before he kisses my hand which makes me blush "Can we still eat lunch together?" He asks which makes me smile as I nod my head"Great, now let me walk my friend to class" he says with a playful tone"No, you're going to be late for class" I say"I don't care. They'll survive without me for a couple of seconds" he says which makes me laugh before I let him walk me to my class.We get a lot of stares as we walk down the hall. Hopefully it's not because of what happened during ELA yesterday."I'll see you in a couple hours" he says with a smile before he kisses my cheek and walks to his classI smile a
Remember when I said that Stella and I would go prom dress shopping after school?Yeah, well that never happened.We got swarmed with homework since it's close to the end of the year so we had to put shopping off for five days.When I woke up from sleeping in Easton's room, his mom playfully bombarded me with many questions while Stella just smiled.I told her that him and I were just friends.After I told her that, her mood seemed to dampen.Stella and I are currently at the mall.She said that I would look good in a black dress while I said she would look good in a white dress so that we wouldn't spend all day looking through dresses since we're on a time crunch."You should try this on" she says as she hands me a long sleeved black dress with some lace detailsI take the dress and walk inside of the dressing room. When I have the dress on I look in the mirror and critique how it looks on me.It's off the shoulders and the sleeves are made out of lace while the rest of the dress is
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 lipstickShe 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
Two weeks later.The week after Prom, the teachers decided to actually teach something useful which is surprising.During testing, every single one of us had comfortable clothes and coffee with us since we have to sit in an uncomfortable metal chair for four hours.When testing week was over, Easton and I spent every single day after school sleeping and cuddling. Only getting up to use the bathroom, shower, or get food.It's currently the last week of school and I couldn't be anymore happier to get out of here.We only have three days of school for this week and two of them are spent doing graduation preparations."Hey, babe" Easton says as I feel his arms wrap around me from behind and a kiss being placed on my cheek. I turn away from my locker, which I'm currently cleaning out, and wrap my arms around his neck before I lean in and kiss him.Our relationship weirdly feels stronger ever since I found out about the truth."Woah, you both. Maybe try not to make out in the hallway where
Finally.Graduation Day is here.I wore a white dress that's fancy but casual.Stella wore a silk red dress that stopped at her knees.As soon as we both got to the school, we walked backstage so that we could get our assigned cap and gowns."You look pure" I hear someone say from behind me which causes me to turn around only to come face to face with Easton. I smile at him before I walk into his open arms and wrap my arms around his neck."I won't be for long" I say with a smirk before I peck his lips and check him outHe's wearing a basic black and white tuxedo which makes me want to bring him into an empty room."Babe, you're drooling" he says with a deep chuckle before he wipes the side of my mouth with his thumb"Fuck, I don't think you should wear tuxedos around me. It makes me want to rip it off of you and take you right here right now" I whisper out as I press our foreheads together which makes him laugh"You know, you're throwing my whole pure comment out of the window" he sa
