Like the feeling of someone ripping my heart from my chest and stomping on it…
I was avoiding looking out into the crowd so I could avoid something like this… I continued to smile as I watched them go out to the dancefloor, hand in hand, but then my smile faltered when I saw her… If that wasn’t love then I don’t know what was… He had finally gotten the girl of his dreams and she had literally flown halfway across the world to dance with him on prom night. “Come on, let’s go dance.” Yasmine told Demetri as she grabbed him by his arm, yanking him in the direction of the dance floor.ĭemetri looked back at me, giving me an apologetic smile. Someone who hadn’t become completely unhinged. If I had never become a complete asshole then Moon wouldn’t have broken up with me in the first place.īut even now, after I’ve changed, she wouldn’t want to get back with me. I looked at them as they talked and even though I was incredibly happy for Demetri-because I knew how bummed he had been that she wouldn’t be able to come to prom or the tournament-I was also upset because now I was officially the only one here without a date and that left something bitter in my mouth.īut it was my fault that I was in this position. She flew all the way back here just so she could go to prom with Demetri? “I just flew in.” She told him as she sauntered up to him with a smile on her lips. She had always been one of those girls that always looked effortlessly put together no matter what she wore. Everything from her hair to her dress looked flawless on her. I wasn’t going to lie, she did look beautiful. “Oh my…Jessica Rabbit…w-what are you doing here?” Demetri stuttered out as he took in the sight of Yasmine. Wasn’t she supposed to be in Australia or something for her dad’s wedding? I looked up at the sing-song voice, unsure if I was hearing things or not because the voice sounded a lot like Yasmine but it couldn’t have been. Demetri didn’t have one either, which made it slightly better. If he was trying to make me feel better he was failing miserably.īut at least I wasn’t the only one without a date. It’s literally the definition of misery loves company.” “That supposed to make us feel better? Since everyone else’s night is ruined?” I asked him in a deadpan voice.
I heard Logan Wang’s after party got canceled because his little brother got in some middle school fight.” Demetri told me with a shrug of his shoulders. “I mean, at least we’re not the only ones in for a boring night. There’s no point.” I scoffed as I averted my gaze away from the sea of students, doing my best to avoid a certain someone. Prom without a date is like Halloween without candy. Talk about bringing a whole new definition to the word ‘loser’ when you’re a junior in high school and you still haven’t had a date to a school dance. Not to mention I was here without a date. I looked like and felt like a complete freak. To top it off, I had a buzzcut that made my scar stick out more than ever. Honestly, having to write a twenty page paper over property management laws would have been better.īut instead, I was here at prom, drinking something that tastes like plastic and Sprite, wearing some scratchy tux that felt almost one size too small. That would have been a million times better. If it wasn’t for Demetri dragging me here, then I would be in the comfort of my own home eating an entire pepperoni pizza and having a Dr.
