it's sam here just giving u guys a lil bit of background !
so basically y/n is going to be going to prom with joey.
BUT, PLOT TWIST.
the only reason joey is going w y/n is because he wants to make his crush jealous.
his crush is gonna be named ella, a random name i came up with !
enjoy! (:
p.s. daddyhosephbirlem gave me the prom idea!
✰✰✰
today was the day.
the one day of the year that has the same amount of stress as finals.
prom.
i was going for the first time.
ever.
with a boy that doesn't even like me.
crazy, right?
his name's joey birlem.
yes, the social media influencer one.
why is he going to a school prom, when he could be practically anywhere else?
beats me.
my sister, y/s/n, was helping me zip my dress up.
"girl, this zipper is stuck"
"what?!" i scream, panic filling my voice.
"you could try sear's"(if you know what this is from, i love u) she teases.
"come on, try again"
she tried pulling the zipper up, but it was caught in the fabric.
"it's literally stuck"
"ok, well, i can't go to prom with my back hanging out"
she tried pulling the fabric out more, making me hear a zipping noise.
"it worked?"
she nodded at me through the mirror.
i did a little twirl, and looked at her.
"joey is one lucky boy"
"he doesn't even like me..why am i going again?"
"to make ella jealous" she mocked joey.
i heard the doorbell ring, making me wanna scream.
i heard my mom squeal, making me and y/s/n exchange looks.
"y/n!" my mom hollered up the staircase.
"coming!"
"okay, remember, hands around his neck. leave room between you two, but not TOO much"
"i'll see you soon" i smile, hugging her.
i grabbed my wallet, and my phone.
my heels clicked down the hallway, and i took a deep breath before walking down the stairs.
i slowly walked down the stairs, my dad talking to joey.
my mom cleared her throat, catching their attention.
i sprang off the last step, almost collapsing.
"y/n, you look b-beautiful"
"not too bad yourself, birlem"
"oh, get together! it's picture time"
i bobbed my head back, rolling my eyes.
i stood next to joey, putting on my best fake smile.
"ok, we better get going, bye!" i yell, grabbing joey's hand, and speed-walking out the front door.
i quickly released my grip, wiping my hand on his arm.
"thanks for doing this"
"of course" i sarcastically reply.
the school :
joey parked his car in one of the parking spots, and i jumped out of the car.
he stood at the back of the car, waiting for me.
"we're going back to being a fake couple?"
"y/n, come on"
he took my wrist, sliding a corsage around it.
i nodded my head, at his choice in corsage.
"not bad" i mumble.
i interlocked my arm with his, and we started towards the gymnasium.
we walked into the gymnasium, music blasting, along with many bodies dancing around.
"do you see her?" he whispers.
"yes, joseph, the moment i walk into the gym i automatically know where she is"
skip to later :
i hung out with my REAL friends, leaving my FAKE boyfriend behind.
a slow song came on, making me sigh.
i turned around, for joey to be standing there.
i wrapped my arms around his neck, his arms wrapped around my lower waist.
"hey, don't move your hands down any further, buddy"
we both silently giggled, trying not to draw attention to ourselves.
"this fake dating thing isn't AWFUL, is it?"
"no, joey, it's not as bad as i intended"
"hi, joey" a girl smiled.
it was ella.
"h-hi ella"
he's such a dork.
"may i steal you from y/n to dance?"
"uh, of course" he smiles, not even thinking twice about what i thought.
i pulled my hands away, walking to the punch bowl.
it was interlaced with vodka, making me gag.
i leaned against the wall, looking at all the couples happily dancing.
my eyes scanned over joey and ella, making me examine them a little bit.
they were laughing, smiling, and looking like they were having the best time ever.
their lips were soon connected, making my heart hurt.
god, y/n, what is wrong with you?
you don't like joey.
right?
i looked at the ground, taking a sip of my punch.
i touched my cheek, to have my fingertips dampened with tears.
i threw my punch away, and scurried into the bathroom.
i locked myself in a stall, sliding down the stall door.
i pulled my legs up to my chest, rocking myself.
my cheeks were stained with tears.
i heard the bathroom door open, making me hold my breath.
i sniffled, revealing my existence in the bathroom.
"hello?" a feminine voice asked.
"hi?"
"who are you"
"it's y/n"
"y/n! come out here!"
that's when i realized it was ella.
i stood up, adjusting my dress, before opening the stall.
"ok, so joey asked me out, and i like TOTALLY am gonna say yes, but my 'date' is here..what should i do?"
"i'm not sure, ella"
my heels clicked out of the bathroom, to the gymnasium again.
you were walking towards the exit, when you felt someone grab your arm.
it was y/bf/n. (your best friend's name)
"y/n, where are you going?"
"home"
"no! you can't!"
"why? joey got what he wanted! he got the girl he wanted. now, i'm just useless"
"don't do this.."
"i'll just uber home"
"y/n!"
i pulled my arm away, walking outside, starting to cry again.
GOD DAMN IT Y/N STOP CRYING
i ordered an uber, and cried to the cold night.
"y/n! what are you doing out here? it's soo fun inside" he laughs, coming next to me.
"i'm out here because i'm going home" i sniffle.
"what?"
"joey, you completed your mission. you got the girl. now, my work here is done"
"that's not true"
"joey, you've never fucking talked to me before tonight!"
"i-i"
"you don't need to say anything, joseph"
a car pulled up, making me step towards it.
joey grabbed my hand, twirling me around into his arms.
"what are you-"
his lips connected to mine, making me widen my eyes.
i kissed back, smiling into this very unexpected kiss.
we pulled away, because of the uber honking.
"way to ruin a moment! go fucking home!" i scream.
the car pulled away.
joey looked at me surprised, making us laugh.
"y/n, little did you know you were the girl i wanted to get tonight"
