18. Roses

18. Roses

It's been a few days since we bought our prom dresses, and at this point, we we're going as a girl group. No one's boyfriend's had mentioned prom.

"Why don't we just ask them?" I asked, confused since we we're independent damn women and would could as a boy to a dance if we wanted. It was 2019 for fuck sake!

"Well, you can. I'm not. I didn't get asked last year, and I just want the big promposal!" Veronica frowned as we walked towards the school. The boys texted us and said they we're skipping today cause Lisa was very sick.

"Veronica?" A boy asked as he stepped in front of us.

"Uh, yeah?" She said, confused.

"Here you go!" He smiled, handing her a pink rose.

"It's happening!" She squealed, clutching the rose to her chest.

"What's happening?" I asked, giving her a crazy look.

"My promposal!" She said, giving me a look that said 'What do you think, you idiot'.

We continued to our first class, we we're stopped once more at her locker, where she got a yellow rose.

"Larry is so thoughtful." She said, smelling the rose. I couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy firing inside of me. "No wonder they ditched, they're gonna do something big!"

We went our separate ways,and Veronica and I made our way to science. it was weird not having Sal in science, but I instant forgot about it when another person knocked at the door to deliver not one, not two, but 6 red roses to Veronica.

She grinned ear to ear and read the card attached. She passed it to me to read and the jealousy fired once again.

To my dear,
  The happiness you bring me is infinite. A day full of surprises awaits you. Thank you for being there for me, always.

I gave her a smile and handed it back. Our substitute was fast asleep now, leaned back in his chair. I looked at my phone.

Sal: Hey, baby. What's up?
Me: Just in science. You?
Sal: Helping Larry.
Me: Planning something big for Veronica
Sal: Does she like her flowers? Larry's freaking out that she doesn't like it.
Me: Yep. She loves it.

We sat at lunch and I couldn't help but stare at the pile of roses on the table. Sal was helping Larry, but was he planning anything for me?

I didn't know why I was feeling this way, and I knew I shouldn't. But it just sat there in my mind.

"Hello?" Ashley said, waving her hand in my face.

"Wha-?"

"We're talking to you." She laughed. "I asked if you worked tonight."

"Oh, no. Why?"

"We were gonna go see a movie tonight. Jon wanted to go see that one new Marvel movie and all the boys agreed."

"Oh, yeah. Sure." I said, shaking my head, trying to knock myself out of this funk. The bell rang, just as another flower showed up. I silently groaned. I need to stop.

"Okay well we will see you after school." Ashely said as we parted ways towards our study hall.

We walked in and as always, there was no teacher, so we just did whatever. Once the last bell rang we met up at Veronica's locker, the dozen roses in her arms. "You guys ready?" She asked. We nodded and we walked out the door.

Outside was Larry, he had a sign at his feet and balloons in his hand. The sign said then obvious. Prom?

Sal stood in the background, recording her reaction. She squealed loudly and ran to him, hugging him tightly.
