Chapter Sixteen: Gertrude

"We're not going without you, you know?" I hear Taylor say, whilst I place my books back into my locker.

"Are we seriously still talking about this?" I sigh.

"YES!" Gigi and Taylor both shout in unison.

I roll my eyes and start walking to my next class, whilst they trail behind me.

"The Formal is in exactly 3 days, 18 hours and 25 seconds, and you don't have a dress."

"I'm amazed by how fast you calculated that, yet you always make me do your math work?"

If anyone was smart it was Gigi, but did she ever show it? Not at all.

I feel something under my feet. I stop and lift my foot, inspecting the back of it, to see what looks like a red rose petal.

Huh?

I look forward to see, what looks like hundreds of rose petals scattered in a neat line, in front of me. Curiosity draws me in, and suddenly I start to follow the beautiful trail.

The trail finally comes to an end and I look around to see that I'm currently standing in.... the school parking lot?

And may I add, alone, since there's not a single person in sight.

Real funny.

Seriously Heidi, what were you expecting? Dylan O'Brien to come and ask you to the formal... pshh I wish.

I sigh and turn, ready to head back into school, when a pair of strong hands wrap around me and hoist me into the air, stopping me from going anywhere.

In one swift motion, I'm thrown over a muscular shoulder like a rag doll.

"LET GO OFF ME YOU IMBECILE!" I shout, whilst punching this strangers back as hard as I could.

"OW OW OW WOULD YOU QUIT THAT?" I heard a familiar voice shout back.

"CARTER GERTRUDE EVANS, PUT ME DOWN RIGHT NOW!"

He sets me down on the ground. "Okay firstly, THATS NOT MY MIDDLE NAME!"

"Keep telling yourself that buddy."

"Damn, your parents must've really hated you." Landon smirks, appearing beside me.

Where does this guy always magically appear from? I swear, he's like one of those freaky leprechauns you see in your dreams.

"Nice to know you dream about me, Gem." He nudges my shoulder with his own.

Dammit Heidi, I thought I told you to stop thinking out loud!

"Why are you here anyways?"

"Just decided to see what the whole commotion was about." He nods his head in the direction of the crowd that had formed around us.

When did they get there?

Suddenly Carter appears again, this time with Ryan, Taylor and Gigi by his side. Seriously, what was going on?

Carter pushes Ryan forward a little, earning him a slap at the back of his head. He then reluctantly walks over to me and hands me a note.

I raise my brow.

"Just so you know I'm not cool with this." He says, nodding his head in the direction of the note.

I carefully open it to reveal one word printed in bold: Formal?

"No one asks their sister to prom. How desperate do you think I am."

"Oh for heavens sake!" He facepalms.

What did I do!

He strides over to me, grabbing me by the hand, and placing me in front of Carter.

Oh god. Carter wants to go with me... Carter and I. Together. Taking pictures. HOLDING HANDS!

I glance back at Landon, waiting to see his reaction, but surprisingly he was no where to be seen. Okay then....

I turn my attention back to Carter and stare at him in disgust.  What surprised me is he was looking at me in the exact same way.

"NO NO WHATEVER YOU'RE THINKING STOP!"

I point my finger at him accusingly. "You're the one asking ME to the formal!"

"I'm not!"

"Then who is?"

"I am." A voice behind me says. I turn around to see a handsome figure, his face covered by the enormous bouquet of flowers in his hands.

He swiftly gets down on one knee and holds the flowers out to me. "Heidi Thompson, will you go to the formal with me?"

Mason.
