A note that led to Murder

Chapter 13

Donna's POV before prom

I was getting ready with Brett for prom. We decided to hang out before prom. Me and Heather didn't want to go there together because it would look way too suspicious. We are trying to keep a low profile. 

Brett was nervous because he didn't have a date and he knew I was going to be dancing with Heather. I asked Heather if he could dance with me and her, she said yea. She was also nice saying that Kevin and Fangs would like to dance with him tonight. She was so sweet.

"So, did she ask you to the dance?" Brett asks looking at different ties for his tuxedo. "I'd be very disappointed if she did and you didn't tell your dearest best friend."

"Uhm well," I hesitated.

He turned around. "She did, didn't she? That's adorable! Why you didn't tell me that's a mystery I guess I will never solve."

"I'm sorry Brett! Yea she did, but I guess I forgot to?" I took the two ties he was looking at and I held up both of them to his chest.

"There is no way you forgot to tell me something that special because you've liked that chic since she started here. So don't use that as an excuse with me."

"It was dumb of me! But in all honesty, we hung out that day and I was pretty tired. It was a great day with her." I picked him a good tie and put the other one away in his closet.

"Trust me I know you want to. So go on, tell me how she asked you. Was it some fancy proposal? Was it super cringey?"

"Well she dropped me off at my house and I started walking back towards my house. She said my name and then asked me. We have kissed a good bit of times and it was the best. We kissed a couple of times that day. I swear there was electricity in each kiss we have together."

"Can't relate. Imagine being single," he rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, shut up! You will someone eventually.  Her tuxedo tonight matches my dress. We picked it out together, it was really cute."

"Keyword, eventually. Adorable. Hey, wasn't she supposed to go with Reggie? I only know that because he did that stupid big proposal thing. So cringey."

"Yea she did say yes. With big hesitation though."

"Wait. You're telling me that Heather has been cheating on Reggie with you? Out of all people?" He bursts into a laugh.

"Oh shut up! You're just jealous! At least I have a date to prom!"

"Wow, you stooped so low with that. That hurt Donna, that truly hurt. I really appreciate you reminding me of how single I am."

"You are so welcome Brett! I'm going to finish getting ready. Try and actually look nice for Heather."

"That's a first"

"Hey, you can't talk. You could use some make up yourself. You would look great as a drag queen."

"I'll consider it."

I went into his bathroom to do some makeup. When I finally was done I came out of the bathroom to get Brett's opinion.

A/N: I just thought of like I didn't add "to get Brett's opinion," it would sound really weird. If you think about it like, would Donna just stay in the bathroom? Invite Heather and they can have prom in his bathroom. Just me? Welp that's ok.

"So how do I look?" I asked opening up the bathroom door.

"Ugly as ever," Brett smiled. "Shall we go? Or do you need to do more makeup? Because honey, no makeup in the world could fix that," he said signaling to my face. 

"Wowwwww. How rude! At least I don't have acne."

"You know I'm sensitive about that!"

"Let's go you little rat. Actually, that's offending rats. They are more beautiful creatures compared to you."

We hopped into Brett's car. It was hard to find a parking space, but we found one eventually.

Then I saw her. She looked so beautiful. She was talking to Kevin and Fangs. So I decided to just talk to Brett. Then I heard it.

"Donna! Get your asses over here!" Her voice was music to my ears. She was waving at me and Brett to come to join her. I noticed that Kevin and Fangs were gone. Odd, I didn't notice them leaving.

We talked a little bit and Brett talked to her and I honestly didn't notice because I was still mesmerized by her beauty.

"See something you like?" she asked. Oh shit, she noticed I was checking her out.

"Yep. A whole buffet," I grinned at her.

"Smooth Donna. How about we get this party started!" she said jogging towards the door. I took a deep breath.

"Yay, sweaty teenagers! So much fun. This is the time of my life," I say sarcastically.

"That's the spirit, Don! So proud of you!" She took my hand and we walked inside.

She went straight to the snack table which was kinda sad. After a few snacks, we decided to dance. Then she pulled some pretzels out of her god damn bra. She offered me one and I hesitantly took one. Bra pretzels aren't that bad. 

We were having so much fun. Brett, Kevin, and Fangs eventually joined us which was even more fun.

Then Reggie found Heather. It was a disaster. It was happening all so fast I couldn't keep up. Reggie punched Heather. That's the most vibrant thing I remember.  I had the courage to say a couple of things to Reggie, which is surprising. 

"Reggie how dare you. I understand that you're drunk and you usually don't act like this but get yourself together! If Archie can do it you can do it too! Get a grip! You don't deserve this amazing girl! You aren't in preschool anymore, you are a grown man so GROW A FUCKING PAIR AND ACT LIKE ONE!" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

I grabbed Heather and a couple of napkins from the snack table. I decided to go to the roof which barely anyone knew about. It was cool tonight so we would be ok. She had a cut on her cheek from where Reggie hit her. Other than that she was dazed, but I was just glad she was conscious still.

I gave her a minute to focus on everything that just happened. I felt so bad for her. I filled in little gaps that she missed.

After around 10 minutes passed I texted Kevin to come to the roof with a bunch of snacks and some punch for me and Heather. Then I invited him, Fangs, and Brett if they wanted to join us. They each brought their share of snacks.

"Hey did you see Veronica come down the stairs or was that just me?" asked Brett as he chewed on some chips.

"Nope," Kevin and Fangs said in unison. Brett shrugged his shoulders.

"Thanks for taking care of Heather. Me, Fangs, and Brett had to explain to the teachers what happened. Brett also held Reggie off from trying to race after you guys," Kevin informed and thanked.

"Well of course. It's not a problem at all. And thank you, Brett. You actually did something nice for once in your life," I joked.

"I know right! Today is a different day! Just an fyi I am never going to do anything nice again," he smiled.

The night was interesting. We stayed up here for 2 hours after the party

A/N: Valentine's day is coming up guys! My goal is to watch the notebook because I heard it is terrible and I want to make fun of it. Sorry if you like the movie.
