Part 2 || 11 - Prom Tom 2

"Y/N, there's something I'd like for you to know" I said nervously not meeting her eyes.

"Does it ever drive you crazy. Just how fast the night changes?"

"I don't know if it'll change something"

"But there's nothing to be afraid of. Even when the night changes. It will never change me and you"

Before I could confess my feelings, our Chem teacher interrupted me, "Well, hello, hello, students, it's time for our Prom King and Queen" Everyone started clapping and we turned to the stage.

Y/N's POV

Tom was about to say something important when they decided to announce the Prom King and Queen.

"What is it, Tom? We can talk outside" I said as he placed an arm around my open back. He shook his head, "Oh, erm, no, that's fine, this can wait"

The both of us faced the stage along with Nicole and Stefan. "I'm so excited" Nico said side-hugging me. I rolled my eyes at her as the teacher started announcing names of the people nominated for Queen.

"Geraldine Reeve" She went on the stage, everyone clapped for her, I had no intention of going on stage.

"Sania Cartwright"

"Summer-Louise Haynes"

"Alana Bray"

"And lastly, Y/N Y/L/N" I didn't move and tried to hide behind Tom. "Oh, come on, Shorty" he said pulling me from behind him and pushing me to the front. I stood on the stage with these pretty girls. I smiled warmly at them, while they rolled their eyes. The teacher then called out all the boys that had been nominated for King.

"Seth Gibbs"

"Xander Jimenez"

"Elliot Ferry"

"Shuaib Bautista"

"And of course, the captain of the football team, Carver Castillo" I half heartedly clapped for that piece of shit, he came on the stage, flexed a little making the girls go wild.

"Now, I'd like our principal to crown the Queen"

"Aaaannnddddd, the Prom Queen for 2005 is..... Y/N Y/L/N" the teacher said making the crowd cheer loudly. Tom and Stef blew a few whistles making me shake my head. The principal congratulated me, placed a crown on my forehead and made me stand near the archway.

"Now, who's going to be the Prom King? It is.... Carver Castillo" I rolled my eyes as the principal placed the crown on his head and he stood next to me. "Smile for the magazine" He put an arm around my waist and pulled me closer. I smiled and thought it will be over soon.

"Alright, let the King and Queen dance for the first time"

Castillo offered his hand and I reluctantly took it, he spun me around once and I had to place my hands on his chest. He was proudly looking at me, but I just knew that he was being cocky. We did a few steps and I thought the dance was over but then, "KISS! KISS! KISS! KISS!" everyone shouted except for my friends. Tom was glaring at the both of us.

I shook my head at Castillo, while he cupped my cheek, "Don't even think about it, Castillo. Tengo novio" I said pulling away just a little. (Translation - I have a boyfriend)

"Oh, come on, princess, just for the crowd" he said and leaned in. Just because I didn't wanted to be that bitch, I obliged. I was pulling away while he thought I was going for a dip. His friends made wolf sounds making me pull away quickly. I was about to leave when everyone started dancing around us, but Castillo pulled me back.

"What?" I said irritatingly. He chuckled and spun me around. "Can I have my date back?" Tom said coming to my rescue, his breath smelled of alcohol. I quickly withdrew my hands but Castillo had his grip tight.

"What, Snow White? Just because you weren't crowned Prom Queen, you're going to steal mine?" he bullied Tom, I could see the hurt in his eyes. Before I could say anything, Tom left the hall. I freed myself from his grip and said, "You know what, Castillo? You think you're so great because you're a jock and that girls flaunt over you and you're the captain of the football team, which is doing worse, by the way, in your captaincy but in reality, you're just a pathetic loser and a pussy" I yelled and everyone's attention fell to us. I was about to leave the hall but then, "And this is for bullying my best friend" I said slapping that son of a bitch, I smirked and hit his groin with my heel. The crowd was staring at him, while he held his red right cheek with his fingers and fell to the ground. I ran to Nicole and Stefan, "Did you see where did he go?" I asked and they shook their heads.

"You know what? You guys check the premises and I'll check outside-"

"It's raining, Y/N" Stef said holding my arm. "Right now, it can rain a thousand times harder, it will still not stop me from going outside to search for my best friend" I said and ran out of the school. Stefan was right, it was raining heavily. I don't think I have ever seen a rainfall this dense in Hertfordshire. I could see a few people running for cover here and there.

I didn't get my coat, so my dress was getting wet, my makeup started to flow down my face, I was feeling cold but there was no sign of Tom. I started running around when I saw familiar blonde locks. I took his wrist and turned him around. "Tom!"

His eyes were heavy and red. I knew he was crying. It was raining yet I could distinguish the rain drops and his tears. Seeing my best friend like this brought tears to my own eyes. I tried to take his arm but he took a step back.

"T-Tom, let's go to my apartment-"

"No!" he yelled making me flinch, Tom had never yelled at me, never. "You're just like him"

"Like who?" I asked as my phone rang. He looked at it and I answered, "He's with me"

"Like bloody Castillo" he said making me gasp. How could he compare me with him?

"I'm not-"

"Yes, you are. You don't give a shit about me. All you care about is money, fame and your looks. Do you even realize that I hate playing Draco Malfoy who has to color his hair a lot? And you know why? Only because I'm constantly bullied for it. Do you realize that I'm constantly, everyday I'm bullied when you're not at school? You don't think it hurts me when people bully me and not you because, oh, you play the nice guy. Do you realize that I'm fed up of school life? You're the one I am blaming for making my school life so miserable"

"Me? What did I do?" I said as Nicole and Stefan came behind me.

"You made me stay in that school when I wanted an out. You were the one to make me stay in that hell-"

"I was just looking out for you-"

"No, you were looking out for yourself, because you don't want to be alone. Because you're scared to be lonely-"

"Can you please stop? You're hurting me" I said stopping him before he would say something he'd regret. "Pathetic, really. Still thinking about yourself. Y/N, you don't even know how many days I've spent crying in a bathroom. I was alone whereas you were happy. You should've been there"

"Just talk to me now. Maybe, we can fix this-"

"No, we can't fix this, nothing can fix this" he said moving his hand back and forth between us, "Where were you when I needed you the most?" he asked and I stayed silent. I never knew Tom went through so much past few years.

"I wish that I never arranged that audition for you" he said making the three of us gasp. I gulped, my teary eyes met his finally, "You don't mean that" I didn't want to believe what he said, he was drunk.

"To my bones!"
