"just friends"

ch. 22

y/n's pov

that night i couldn't help but think about daniel. everytime he entered my mind, i got butterflies. i was super happy he asked me to prom! i couldn't wait any longer for prom to approach.

i was laying on my stomach on my bed, just smiling. my mom peered into my room through the crack of the door i left open. "what are you smiling at" she laughed as the opened the door wider, startling me. i sat up, trying to hide my smile but i just couldn't. "well?" she said. "well... daniel asked me to prom!!" i smiled even harder. her smile grew wider as well. "y/n! i'm so happy for you daughter!" she sat on my bed and hugged me. we sat there just hugging for quite a while.

"i missed you mom" i say. we break apart from the hug. she puts her hands on my forearms. "i missed you too y/n." she gives a weak smile. i look down trying not to get emotional. "i'm sorry i'm never home, work is just getting hectic lately. gotta keep making us money right?" she lets out a small laugh. "yeah.. i jsut feel like we never talk as much anymore you know?" i say back. "i know, i'll make up for it i promise." frowns. "how about we go out and get ice cream?" she smiles. i smiled back. "let's go!" i say jumping off of my bed.

we got ice cream and sat at a table outside. we talked for the longest time. "sooo, how's you and daniel?" she smirks at me. my lips had ice cream all over them, and i paused, my eyes widened. "oh uhhh, you know, same old i guess" i shrugged. "tell me more," she continued, licking her ice cream. "well uh, i mean we've gotten pretty close." i tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. "i really, really, really like him mom." i frown at this. "does he like you back?" she questioned. i shrugged once again looking down. "that's the thing, i don't even know! i mean one minute we're all head over heals in love, and then the next moment he's kissing some other girl, as if we didn't make out the night before-" i stop, realizing i said something i shouldn't have. "uhh i mean, whatttt?" i laugh nervously. "y/n! what!" my mom whisper yells. "you never told me about this!" she gave me those angry mom lips. i couldn't help but laugh.

it was friday, which meant prom was tomorrow. i was nervous as heck, but also excited. i've never gone to prom before. but i was prepared to say the least, i had my dress and my heals all ready for the big night!

i got up out of bed excited for the school day. it was the last dress up day before prom, and the theme was 'twin with your date' day. me and daniel had already planned on what we were going to wear already, so all i had to do was get dressed in that! my outfit consisted of white shorts, a red shirt, a red bandana, and red shoes. while daniel wore white shorts, a blue shirt, a blue bandana, and blue shoes.

i opened the door, ready to head off to school. but once i opened the door, i saw daniel standing right in front of are door frame, with his best smile on his face. i stood in the doorway and crossed my arms. "hey twin" daniel said, he was the cutest. "hey slugger" i replied back, tapping his nose as he scrunched it up at the touch.

daniel reached out for my hand, i lent it to him and we walked down the stairs together, fingers intertwined. i was flushed at this, for no reason at all. "front or back?" daniel asked me. i stuttered at the question, not because of the hard decision, but because of the way he was staring at me. it made me melt. i was so lost in thought just staring at him that i forgot to answer his questions.

"hello?" he waved his hand in front of my eyes, i blinked at this a couple times and my face went red in embarrassment. "sorry, uh, it honestly doesn't matter to me." i stuttered. "pick." daniel demanded. "uh, i'll take the back i-i guess." i was nervous.
