Y/n's pov:

I woke up to the sound of my mom vacuuming, I got out of bed and put on some grey sweatpants with a matching grey crop top. I just put my hair into braids and didn't bother doing my makeup, I walked down the stairs and put on my converse. "Where are you going sweetie" my mom asked "oh just going to walk around town, is that alright?" She smiled and nodded, I headed to the thrift store to maybe find a dress for the school dance. I don't know if I was going but what's the harm in looking?

I saw a gorgeous gold fitted dress that I would have to tell Rebecca about, gold didn't compliment me well but I knew that dress would look gorgeous on Rebecca's tan skin tone. I don't know what color dress I wanted, to be fair we didn't even know the theme yet but I think they were announcing it soon. I saw a cute button up that I decided to get and I saw a blanket that would compliment my bed well but that's all I decided to get, maybe I would come back for a dress once I knew the theme and if I got a date.

I got a cherry icee and some corn nuts and walked back home. I called Rebecca, "hey what's up" Rebecca said "not much, I went to the thrift store to try and find an outfit for the school dance but couldn't find anything really but I found a gorgeous gold dress that would look great on you" I said. She laughed and said "omg I love that, does this mean your going to the danceee" I laughed and said "maybe, if I get a date" I could see the smirk on her face even through the phone, "you know, it wouldn't hurt to ask Michael". I rolled my eyes and said "no thanks" she laughed and said "well I have to go now, byee girl" I smiled "bye Becca".

I cleaned my room a little and put my new blanket on my bed, it was around 6:00 and my mom made tacos. I ate with my family and then we watched TV, I went to bed pretty early so I wouldn't be tired for school. I decided to wear an overnight face mask to make my skin look nice.

I woke up at 8:00, I had to hurry to get ready. I put on light blue jeans with a yellow crop top, it made my boobs look good. I put on my pastel tie dye Crocs and grabbed my backpack and threw my hair into a ponytail, my mom took me to school and I saw Michael walk into the school as my mom pulled up. I walked into school quickly so I wouldn't be late, I put my stuff into my locker then got to science. Rebecca sat next to me "soo, Michael looks cute today" she whispered I blushed slightly "uh okay". She sighed "I'm just trying to help you out ya know, Michael wouldn't be the worst boyfriend in the world". I sighed and said "whatever", we had to do a test for science but it's was pretty easy.

I went through the rest of my classes and it was now the end of the day. I was about to grab my backpack out of my locker and leave until Michael slammed the locker door shut and looked at me, "May I help you?" He rolled his eyes and said "my dad is forcing me to take you with me to a stupid fancy dinner at the end of this week to make us look good" I sighed and said "I'm not going". He said "please, you don't understand i have to take you" I moved him away and grabbed my backpack "I'll think about it okay" he slowly nodded and I walked away. That was weird.

Okay I must admit, Michael did look a little hot today. I walked to my mom's car and my mom said "hi honey, how was school" I shut the car door, "it was okay, Michael said I have to go to a fancy dinner or some shit with him to make his family look good I guess". She started driving, "aw how sweet, maybe he likes you" I sighed "I doubt it, me and him are not a good fit" she looked back towards the road "you never know honey". I nodded slowly and played with the bracelet on my wrist, we got home and I went up to my room.

I couldn't help to think about Michael, yes he could be a huge jerk but God damn was he attractive. The way his hair perfectly framed his face, his perfectly sharp jawline and those lips that looked oh so kissable. But it won't ever be able to happen so why dream, now I understand why Rebecca always talks about him.

I shook my head and rid myself of those thoughts about Michael. Maybe we can get closer on that thing this Friday, I should get a cute outfit to impress him. Oh, who am I kidding, I shouldn't worry about making him like me. If he likes me he will tell me right?

Time skip to Wednesday:

Y/n's pov:

I woke up to a fairly cold April day, I put on a comfortable hoodie with fitted jeans. I put my hair into a braid and did cateye eyeliner, I grabbed my shoes and backpack and went downstairs. I saw a note on the counter that said my mom had to go somewhere and couldn't take me to school I sighed and started to walk to school, I was about 20 minutes away and my legs were tired. A car slowed down next to me, it was the Aftons. Clara rolled down her window "sweetie get in here it's so cold" I smiled slightly and got in back seat, Michael was sitting there he looked away from me and I frowned. "What are you doing walking to school" Clara said as she continued to drive "oh my mom was gone" I responded she nodded and said "well you should have let us know sweetheart" I smiled and looked out the window.

We got to school and I thanked her for driving me, Michael walked a lot faster than me and I tried to follow him but there was no use. I got to science pretty quickly and Rebecca sat next to me "I saw you get out of the car with Michael" she said with a smirk I rolled my eyes "his mom gave me a ride since my mom was gone, nothing interesting". She shrugged and looked down at her textbook and our teacher eventually came in to teach.

It was the end of the day again, I just wanted it to be summer but I had a long way to go. I walked to my locker and grabbd my stuff and was about leave until a arm pulled me aside, it was Michael. Of course it was. "What do you want" I said as I rolled my eyes he sighed and said "my mom wanted to take you to get your nails done for Friday" I smiled slightly and said "oh uh alright, thanks" he nodded and motioned for me to follow him. I don't remember being this awkward around him, it's probably just because I have to be with him for a fancy dinner Friday right?

Hello everyone! Another chapter, I hope you can see the development very slightly in Michael and y/n's relationship! This is such a fun story to write 💜
