my 'the summer i turned pretty'

prom

april 2023

today was jeremiah's prom. and even though another girl asked him and we didn't go together, this night still feels so intimate.

it's 2am and jeremiah and i are texting. i can remove this from the short list of things we've never done. he just got home and he's texting me pics of him from prom. it's nice to know he's thinking of me after a night out.

he sent pictures of him wearing a batman mask, all taken in different poses at different angles haha. i asked him how many he took and he said "many" so i decided to reply back a simple lol. i expected him to leave the conversation at that but a few minutes later he asked about my prom. i panicked for a second to be honest; am i just supposed to tell him i was never asked? if i do then what is he going to say? i guess i'll just have to wait and see..... i hope he didn't fall asleep

(a/n: i have so many already written chapters for this book that are just sitting in my drafts. maybe i'll go through and post a few tonight :) )
