Princess and The Brains

chapter 12 - the dance

Maeve's POV

The formal dance was tomorrow so I was at a boutique with Alicia and Rose and we were picking out dresses for the dance.

'What about this one omg? It's gorgeous!' said Rose pointing to a navy blue dress
'That is beautiful.' said Alicia looking at the dress
'Try it on!' I said
'Will do now, sir.' she said and went into the dressing room
'So, you know who you're going with?' asked Rose
'Ugh I don't even wanna think about that.' I said in an annoyed tone
'Well you're going right? So you gotta pick someone.' she said

A bunch of guys had asked me but I didn't wanna go with any of them.

'I don't wanna pick any of them.' I said
'Well suit yourself, I guess but I mean sooner or later you have to.' she said
'Yeah I know.'

Rose came out of the dressing looking absolutely gorgeous.

'That is 100% the dress for you!' I said looking at her
'Yes that's perfect!' said Alicia
'Well I'm getting it then.' said Rose

She paid for the dress and we got out. We had already gotten a dress for me and Alicia. Mine was rose gold and Alicia's was green.

Rose was going with Aaron and Alicia was going with a guy named Luke. Even Hyde and Derek had dates. Hyde was going with a girl named Emma and Derek was going with Leah. And Andrew of course, wasn't going.

Wait a minute. He wasn't going.

So he's free. He didn't have anything to do.

'Guys.' I said
'Yep?' said Rose
'What if I convince Andrew to go with me?' I said, excitedly
'You think he'll say yes?' asked Rose
'Worth a try.' I said, smiling
'Alright then but just be ready cause he might throw a fit.' said Alicia, laughing
'I'll be fine.' I said with a smile

I asked Andrew's address and went to his house. I rang his doorbell and waited for someone to come open the door. A woman in her forties opened the door.

That must be his mom. I thought to myself.

'Hi, I'm Maeve, Andrews uh friend, I guess you could say.' I say to her awkwardly.
'Oh hello honey, come on in please. I'll call Andrew.' she said making way for me to come in
'Oh thank you.' I said politely

I heard her calling Andrew. I waited in the living room standing and after a while Andrew came in.

'What the hell are you doing in my house?' Andrew asked, confused
'Is that how you treat your friend Andrew?' said his mom
'She's not my friend.' said Andrew
'How rude.' said his mom giving him an angry look
'Yes Andrew, how rude.' I said and Andrew looked at me

His mom then left the room so it was just me and him.

'What do you want?' he asked
'Well I just wanted to ask you for a little favor.' I said quietly
'What?'
'Well uh so you're not uh you know going to the dance or anything and I have a crisis, I don't really have a date and the dance is tomorrow and my reputation kinda matters here so I HAVE to go and since I don't have a date, I thought that maybe you could go with me since you weren't gonna go anyways.' I said quickly
'Ok so let me get this straight, you're asking ME to go the dance with YOU?' he asked and I nodded.
'No.' he said
'What?'
'I'm not going with you.' he said
'You HAVE to understand, my reputation is on the line here.' I said desperately
'Not my concern.' he said calmly

I started fake crying loudly. He looked absolutely horrified.

'Okay okay fine, I'll go just stop crying.' he said quickly
'Oh my GOD, thank you so much.' I said

That always works.

I left his house after saying goodbye to his mother and went back to mine. My parents were sitting on the couch. Apparently they both got a day off.
