Curing His Love Allergy

Chapter 20 - Gorgeous

As soon as I pulled up in the parking lot of Bryan's, all heads turned to my car. Maybe it was from the loud music or the entrance I made.

I parked in my preferred parking spot under the apple tree at the front corner.

I grabbed my bag from the backseat, then took my keys from the ignition. I threw them inside my bag. In the process, I took my phone from my bag after hearing a text message notification.

Dom - Where are you?

Me - Just pulled up at school. Meet me by my locker.

I opened my car door then strutted through the parking lot with all eyes on me.

Whispers were heard around me.

Who's that girl?

She's so pretty

I love her makeup

That's Tiara Matthews, Alejandro's girlfriend

But everybody thinks she likes France.

After the last comment, I ignored them because they knew nothing about my life.

"Yaaassss Queen your makeup is perfect," Dom's voice said from next to me.

"Thanks. Have they announced homecoming court yet?" I asked her frantically.

"No, I think you're just in time though because the announcements are about to be read."

The microphone feedback sounded through the hallways.

"Good morning, students of Bryan's Academy. These are the Weekly Announcements. The homecoming dance is tonight. Make sure you have bought your tickets..." the principal said.

"Alejandro bought our tickets, what about you?" I asked Dom.

"Noah."

"Oh."

The principal continued, "It is now the time you've been waiting for... And the homecoming princes and princesses are: Tiara Matthews, Zion Thomas, Malia Peters, those are your homecoming princesses. The princes are: France Williams, Noah Wilde, Alejandro Ruben. Please make sure to cast your votes for the king and queen. Voting ends at 8 pm sharp."

Applause erupted around the hallway with people coming up to me and congratulating me. But the boys were nowhere to be seen. I decided to text Ale.

Me to Alejandro - Hey love, where are you? Xoxo Tiara

No reply. That's strange.

The warning bell sounded signaling it was time for class. I walked with Dom to our shared Geography class.

As we arrived at the class, our teacher was emptying his briefcase. Typical, he is so dysfunctional.

We got a midterm quiz today on landscape and scales. It was so easy. I strutted out of class after totally acing that test.

"Bye guys, see you at lunch," I told Collin and Dom.

"We have French together, we're getting back the test grades today," Collin said.

I was walking through the hallways to my bio class when I received a text message.

Alejandro - Chica, we won't be in school today. Sorry but I'll see you at the dance. - Ale.

Me - Where are you guys? - Tiara.

I stepped into my bio class at the same time as the teacher. I walked to my seat leaving my bag under the desk. "Tiara, could you pass out the test papers, please?" she asked.
