I pulled away from Kwon and retreated into my room. I hummed a soft tune as I pulled my back pack into my lap.
•
•
I woke up and threw on whatever was in my first drawer. I wasn't in the mood to be alive today. I wanted to crawl in bed and sleep until my hopes decided to rise up.

Kwon didn't stay the night so I drug myself out the house into the car.

All the prodies were older than me so I was alone at school if you don't consider the fakes that claimed they were my friends because of how I looked.

I walked in 1st period a few minutes late. The only open desk was next to delicious Gerald.

I sat down and rested my head on the desk.

"Class there was a break in Saturday." My teacher spoke causing me to pop my head up

"Nothing was stolen just a bunch of hooligans. So close to the end of the year and they pull something like this." She said glancing over the class

I buried my head in my arms even more.

"Hey beautiful you not gone speak." Gerald  asked

I laughed and looked over at him with my head still resting on my arms.

"Hey Gerald."

"There it is, that smile."

I smiled but hid it.

"Don't hide it. Let it brighten my day." He said with a smile

"Thanks your making my day." I said sitting up

"I can make your month too. Go to prom with me." He said catching me off guard

"Sure." I said cheesing very big

The rest of the day I spent with him almost like his girlfriend. Well that's what it felt like to me, if anything.

I hopped in my car feeling nothing less than a million bucks.

Gerald was always cute but the way his "girl-freinds" were set up I didn't stand a chance. Prom was in exactly 30 days and I had nothing planned, not even planning on going. But he changed that.
•
I whipped into the driveway almost hitting Kwon.

"Sorry." I said laughing

"You good" he said following me into the house

I swung open my closet door and went soul searching for something nice to wear for Gerald tomorrow.

"What you looking for?" Kwon asked looking over my shoulder

"This." I said holding up a 2 piece outfit

He waved me off and collapsed on my bed.

I grabbed my flat iron and plugged it up. After a while of waiting I took my ponytail down and parted my hair.

I picked the flatiron up and began on my nape.

"What's up with you and Joey?" Kwon asked

I whipped my head toward him so fast I burned my neck.

"Damn."
