He Rejects You - A.I.(Part 1)

In highschool, senior prom was all any senior could talk about. Especially since it was only a week away.

"Hey,(Y/N). Are you going to prom!" You heard Vanessa say behind you, along with a shriek of laughter after the comment was made. 

"Of course she's not. Why would she go?Alone?No one would go alone. And no one would wanna go to prom with a freak like her!" Another voice said, and another shriek of laughter followed right after. 

"Come on, Brittney. Leave her alone."  A voice spoke up, coming from you're left. 

When you turned to the person who spoke up,  you saw exactly who you were expecting. Ashton Irwin, the school's quaterback.If it had been anyone else who defending you, you would have been shocked. Shocked that a jock would defend you, the biggest nerd in the school. But you weren't suprised when you saw Ashton. He was Ashton. He was nice to everyone, even the biggest nerd in school. Even though he was the school's quaterback and you were the school's biggest nerd, you guys were friends.

And the best part of it all was that it was an actual friendship, not just two people being friendly. A friendship were you two hangout, talking, watching movies, or just on your phones sitting in silence. Ashton was the only true friend you had at school, he was your best friends, but no one knew. 

No one knew about your gigantic crush on him. 

Or at least that's what  you thought. 

"Why? It's true. No one wants to go to prom with her. I mean, come on, just  look at her. Who wants to go to prom with that." Brittney said insulting you again. All you could do was look at the ground, and try to stop the tears that were just about to fall. 

"Brittney, don't be like that. You're bringing her hopes down." Vanessa said while taking a book out of her bag.

" Dear Diary,
 

            Today I realized my true feelings for him," She read from the book, my diary. " I always new I liked him but I thought it was in a friendly way, I thought it was just because he was the only person that wanted to be my friend. But today I finally figured out, that I actually like him. We were hanging out, fooling around, when I fell. He held out his hand for me to take out, and when I grabbed it, I felt a tingle."   She read, looking around, then looking at me with a smirk. 

"Please, don't." I pleaded, reaching for my diary. She held it out of my reach, and continued reading from it. I don't even understand how she got it.

"Now I can only hope he will ask me to prom. Or maybe I'll ask him, who knows. But I know that my feelings for him won't just simply go away," She Looked me in the eyes as I silently begged her not to continue. She ignored me and finish reading.  " I, (Y/F/N), have the biggest  crush on Ashton Irwin, and there's nothing I can do about it." She finished with a smirk, but it wasn't towards me, it was towards Ashton. 

"Well, (Y/N)," Vanessa turned to look at me," Why don't you ask him to prom, I mean it's only a week away, and I'm sure he hasn't asked you, or has he?" She said with a look in her eye that told me she did this on purpose, she did this to  humiliate me. 

"....N-no, he hasn't," A tear fell down my cheek as the words came out my mouth. 

"Well! What are you waiting for ask him!" She pushed me towards him. I looked up at Ashton with watery eyes. 

"I-um... I don't want to." I mumbled while looking down. 

"Ask him. Now." She squeezed my arm, her faked nail digging into my skin. I'm pretty sure I started bleeding.  

"Vanessa,come one,just  leave her alone." I looked up at him and stared into is eyes, seeing a look I could only described as pity, pity for the poor girl who he took under his wing. 

"No, she's going to ask you and she's going to do it now." She said squeezing my arm harder and I whimpered. I was 100% sure I was bleeding now, I could feel the blood running down my arm slowly. 

"A-A-... A- ashton, will y-you go to prom with m-me?" I asked him, stuttering on every other word, while looking up at him. 

He looked down at me, the same look of pity in his eyes. After what seemed like hours, hours of us just staring into each others eyes, he looked down and stepped back. 

"I'm sorry, (Y/N), but I don't like you like that. I don't like you like that and I don't want to go to prom with you." He was looking around, looking anywhere but at me. 

I felt Vanessa let go of my arm. She walked up to Ashton and kissed him, and he kissed back. 

"Oops, Sorry, (Y/N). I probably should've told you before, Ashton is going to prom with me. He's going with me because he is my boyfriend. So why don't you run along and get lost. And I hope you're not going to prom, I mean it's not gonna make any much of a difference if you're there or not. Come on, Ashy." She grabbed his hand and started to walk away. Ashton turned around. He found my eyes, immediately and just stared at me. We made eye contact and for a moment I saw a look of regret came across his eyes, But then that same look came back, that same stupid look of pity in his eyes. When they disappeared, everyone started laughing.

Right then and there, I swore I'd never let anyone control and use me for their own pleasure, ever again. Never again will I give anyone the power to hurt me. Never again will I give anyone the power to destroy me. Never again will I fall in-love with someone so easily.

Never.
