Kill To Love

Prom night

After I found out that Daniel was coming back and starting to go back to normal yesterday, I felt relieved.
Today was had an assembly, so I took my seat next to Felicity and we talked as everyone else piled into the hall. Once everyone was sitting and the teachers had finally settled us all down, the Principal of St. Hills, Principal Amesh, walked on stage.

"Good morning all students. Today I have great news to announce. As we all know the year is almost coming to an end now, and exam time is approaching us! So to get you guys having fun, we are going to host a Prom night, here! If you would like to attend, you can sign your name on Miss Grove's class, the drama teacher, and then you can buy tickets from her for a low price of 3 dollers.", he raised his hands in the air, as if he was trying to advertise something. "You can wear whatever you want, but it has to be appropriate. Your studen head of year, Patricia Park, will be choosing the theme for this prom. I'll hand you over to her now."
Principal Amesh took a seat further back in the stage and Patricia walked up to the speaker.
"Hello St. Hills!", she shouted into the mic, and everyone began clapping. What kind of spell has she got them under?
"As you all know, yes, there is a Prom night. And if you guys wanna attend, you must be quick because once the tickets sell out, there isn't anymore! We have a totals of 100 tickets for all of you. So, once they are sold out we should have about 50 students who cannot attend.", she smirked and gave a quick glance to me. Bitch if you don't..
"So, what's the theme of this Prom, you ask? Well, it's...drum roll please", then a loud, unexpected rumble started as everyone slapped their legs for the 'dramatic effect'. "Against the clock!", she announced.
Everyone stopped drumming their legs and made confused noises. Whispers began to rise up, even me and Felicity were confused.
"Now, now. I know, I know this sound confusing. But it'll make more sense once I explain it. So, we have exams season coming soon, dont we? And I thought what better idea to have a Prom night themed on this! When we're in exams we have to work against the clock, trying to complete all the answers, whilst get them correct at the same time. And so I want all of youse to come in where clothes that show how you interpret this theme to be. I'm not going to tell you what to wear, I'm going to let you choose. Thanks. I hope to see you at the Prom, on Friday 23rd of February. See you then!", and as she left the stage she got a huge roar of clapping. And she knew how to own it. She basked in the feeling.
Once it died down, the took her seat and Principal Amesh took over.
"Thank you for that amazing presentation, I hope you are able to attend the Prom. But enough of that. Now, onto attendance.."
I'll spare you the boring details of that, but I'm sure you can guess what happened.
As assembly wrapped up, everyone got up and left the hall. It was time to go back to the old, same routine of lessons. Sadly.
I threw the bag on my back and walked by myself to class. Felicity wasn't in my maths classes.
But Daryl and Patricia were. Ugh. That girl!
When I came in, the class was almost full. Daryl was speaking to Mike and Patricia was eyeing my boyfriend. Biting her lips seductively when she stared at him. But, Daryl was a good boyfriend to me and he ignored her and when he noticed I was here he smiled at me.
"Baby!", he smiled when I took my seat beside him. Daryl kissed my cheek and let me take out my books before he went back to talking to Mike.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Patricia grow jealous, I knew she wished she could have what Daryl and I had but it was too late. I turned around.
"Have your brother asked Felicity out yet?", I asked.
"Nah. Hes too much of a pussy to do that.", he sniffled.
"He should, because she too scared to ask him too.", I told him truthfully.
He nodded and smirked before he turned to Daryl and spoke.
"Speaking of pussy...have you tried hers?", he smiled.
Daryl was uncomfortable, and I turned around and pretended to not have heard what he just asked. Daryl shifted and slapped his friend on the arm.
"Leave us alone.", he whispered.
I could see Patricia listening to what he said. And when Mike asked Daryl she was waiting, hungry for an answer.
The teacher walked into the class at that moment and everyone grew silent.
Class was beginning.

At lunchtime, Felicity and I went to Miss Grove's classroom and bought the tickets. I bought two and she bought one for herself. I knew Daryl wouldn't be bothered to come to the class himself so I stole his three dollars from his pocket and used it to buy his ticket whilst I bought my own ones with mine.
When I realised that I still had a few dollars left I bought Daniel one.
