Jack
I had test in both of my last 2 periods of the day so I couldn't get to talk to Skylar. I'm hoping to find her before Brandon asks her. Fingers crossed.
"Jack!" Quinn shouted walking up to me.
"Hey Quinn! Have you seen Skylar?" I asked.
"Uhm... I think she's out in the parking lot." She said thinking.
"Thanks!" I shouted and ran out of the school and into the parking lot.
Okay where is she....
Okay look for a stunning girl who's wearing a white top and black jeans....
"Jack!!" Yelled a familiar voice from behind.
"Uh Zach, have you seen Skylar?" I asked.
"Uhm... no? I don't think so." He responded looking around.
"Hey guys!" Daniel said walking up to us.
"Dani! Have you seen Skylar?"
"Oh uh yeah. I saw her walking with Ryan Montgomery out of the school a few minutes ago." He replied.
That's one of Brandon's friends. Great. Just great.
"What's wrong?" They both asked.
"I need to find her before Brandon asks her to prom." I sighed.
"Jack... you know you can't ask her to prom, we went over this." Daniel said slowly.
"No, I know. I need to tell her something though."
"Is she wearing a white graphic tee with black ripped jeans with her hair lightly curled?" Zach asked.
Oh
"Uhh yes, do you see her?"
"Yeah she's over there with a tall blonde guy wearing white shirt and blue ripped denim jeans." He stated pointing over to them.
"Thank you! I'll catch up with y'all later!" I shouted and ran over in her direction.
Until.
"Skylar Lancaster, will you do me the honor of going to prom with me?"
Her black car was decorated with a bunch of things. Streamers, 'PROM?' written out with big letters, balloons and a lot more.
"I'd love to." She responded and gave Brandon a hug.
Everyone around cheered... except me.
How could she say yes?
I mean I know I can't take her, but.... Brandon???
I walked away, and drove home.
I isolated myself in my room. I didn't want to see anyone to talk to anyone.
God.
She shouldn't be going with him! He is just using her!
If I wasn't a singer. If I wasn't in a band. I'd be able to be with her and be able to do things with her.
No. No. No.
Don't think like that Jack.
KNOCK KNOCK
"Jack are you okay buddy?" I heard Daniel's voice through the door.
"Please leave me alone." I sighed.
The door handle shook a lil.
"I heard what happened. I'm sorry, I wish our concert was on a different night." He said through the door.
Me too.
"It's whatever."
"Well. Let me know when you unlock your door, so we can talk. See you later buddy." Daniel said and I heard him walk away.
Maybe this is fate. Maybe this is what is suppose to happen. Maybe this is a sign that her and I will never work out. Maybe I should just give up.
No. Stop overreacting. God, I'm such a drama queen.
Skylar
Everyone cheered around us.
Brandon threw his arm around me.
God, this is so awkward.
"I can't wait." He whispered into my ear.
I just nodded.
Everyone then dispersed after a few minutes after taking pictures and all that fun stuff.
I can't believe this.
Why didn't Jack ask me?
"Ohmygod!!" Ashley and Hailey both ran up to me hugging me hardly.
I fake smiled and pretended to be cheerful.
"We're gonna be in the same group! How great is that?!" Ashely shrieked.
"So great." I replied trying to smile.
•●•●•
"How was school sweetheart?" Mom asked right as I got home.
She never asks me this while standing by the front door waiting for me.
I sighed.
"So you've heard?" I asked sighing.
"Well yeah!.... why do you seem so upset hun?" She asked concerned.
"I... never mind, you wouldn't understand. It's okay."
"No tell me."
"It's... it's just that I really wanted Jack to ask me, but he didn't. I even purposely ran into him like 4 times today. It... it just sucks." I sighed even longer.
"Hun, it's okay. This may be for the best. I just don't get why you don't like Brandon, he's a nice, handsome, popular kid!"
You've got to be kidding me.
"Yeah. Well I need to go do homework, I'll talk to you later." I said and walked to my bedroom.
"Okay!! You're gonna have to figure out your own dinner for tonight tho cuz I have to go back to the hospital in an hour!"
Brandon
"Oh my God Wesley! Stop bringing that up!" I shouted at him pissed.
"We never made rules to 'break off a bet'" Wesley stated.
Shit.
"I mean.... that's true..." Ryan added in.
I glared at him.
"What I'm just saying." Ryan said then looked away.
"What do I need to do then, to break off the bet?" I asked.
"You can't do anything." Wesley laughed.
"That's not fair!" I shouted.
"Wes, let's just talk about it. You, me, and Ryan." Ashton butted in while on his phone.
"Fine." Wesley replied rolling his eyes.
The three then huddled on the other side of the room, talking over each other and fighting.
"... how about homework for the rest of the school year?" I overheard Ashton suggesting.
Oh hell no.
I couldn't really make out what Wesley said at the beginning but I did hear the end of it.
"... and then goes stag." Wes then said.
"That's harsh tho..." Ryan began.
"No, it's perfect. If he's not gonna go with the bet, then he's going to have to do that." Wes then looked over at me, clown smiling.
"Wes come on." Ashton then said.
"No. I get to be the one who gets to pick the punishment since the bet was my idea." Wes stated.
The boys all walked over. Ryan and Ashton slouching and looking like they felt bad.
"What is it?" I asked calmly and stern.
"You are going to tell Skylar that you can't go to the dance with her and then go stag to the dance." Wes smiled crossing his arms across his chest.
Shit.
This will be for the best.... for Skylar at least.
"Alright." I replied, standing up, ready to shake hands.
"And." Wes smirked like a clown ready to terrorize kids at a haunted house. "You have to tell her the day of the dance. A last minute rejection." He then said making a pouty face.
"Oh come on Wes." I said pissed.
"Well you're the one who wants to back out on it." Wes said tilting his head a little.
"No. I'm not doing that. That's a complete douche move." I said getting ready to leave.
I can't be in the same room as him anymore, this is absolute crap.
"Then stay with the bet."
I thought about it a little more, thinking of which one wouldn't be as shitty as the other.
"Fine. I'll stick with the bet." I finally said.
