warning: will include triggering events that almost leads to rape and a bit of vulgar language

as ella opened the door, beatrice inquired, "how the hell did this happen in a matter of two hours?"

ella sarcastically replied, "my fairy godmother came down and gave me an instant makeover, and i have until midnight before it wears off."

beatrice slapped ella and groaned, "for someone who is a wannabe cinderella, you sure don't act like her."

"you of all people know that i'm nothing like her. i'm a sarcastic bitch who hates everyone."

"come on, get in the car loser. we need to go eat."

ella jumps inside the car, and beatrice drives off to their local diner.

once they arrived, they quickly ordered for to-go and ate inside beatrice's car.

it's always has been like that with them eating food inside the car since they wanted to avoid contacting other humans.

with taylor swift softly playing in the background, beatrice asked with a mouth full of food, "so did you get those letters from the colleges yet?"

ella swallowed her food quickly before screaming, "yes! i'm going to stanford baby!"

beatrice gave ella a well-deserving high five and congratulated, "dude that's amazing! you better skype me endlessly."

"we're about five hours away from each other, but we can visit occasionally. dude you're going to be such a great artist over at ucla!"

"could you repeat that again? i need to record you saying that to show to my mom."

"sure why not?"

beatrice grabbed her phone out of her pocket and quickly went to the camera.

beatrice said, "in three, two, and.."

ella smiled and exclaimed, "beatrice is going to be- late to prom!"

beatrice was confused before seeing the time being 5:50 p.m.

beatrice shoved the last of her fries in her mouth before starting the car and driving off to school.

they arrived just in time at 6:00, and they raced up the stairs before they were right in front of the school.

beatrice grabbed ella's hand and dragged her over to the photo booth.

when they were taking pictures, they posed with props such as humongous sunglasses, tiaras, and beaded necklaces.

once they both got their pictures, they directly went to the food table.

after stuffing food in their mouths (and some in their clutches), beatrice wanted to go to the dance floor while ella needed to pee.

beatrice said, "fine, how about you go pee and then join me on the dance floor?"

ella responded, "the dance floor is basically fuckboy territory, and i'm not going to voluntarily surround myself with such idiotic human beings!"

beatrice said, "so is the entire school perimeter, but here we are now."

ella pointed out, "one will go to desperate measures to have the least fun even if it means seeing fuckboys."

beatrice rubbed her arm reassuringly and said, "well good luck, and i hope for no fuckboys interactions."

ella nodded her head before heading straight towards the restroom.

as ella was walking inside a stall, she heard a voice say, "hey babe, do you want to get out of here?"

ella turned around to see this random fuckboy attempting to talk to her.

ella irritably replied, "hit the road bud. i'm not interested at all."

the boy came closer and rubbed ella's back. he whispered, "come on, i'll make it the best time of your life."

ella pushed him and exclaimed, "don't fucking touch me you asshole! when i said hit the road, it was a nicer version of fuck off."

the male figure grabbed ella forcefully and tried to push her in the stall. while doing so, he attempted to take off her dress.

"you won't regret me doing this to you baby."

ella screamed, "get the fuck off of me now!"

ella kicked the male at his crotch before grabbing her pepper spray and spraying it in his eyes.

the guy fell down to the ground, clutching his eyes due to the effects of the pepper spray.

ella screamed at the top of her lungs, "LEARN THAT NO MEANS NO, AND YOU DON'T HAVE MY CONSENT WHATSOEVER. DON'T YOU FUCKING TRY TO RAPE ME OR ANY OTHER HUMAN BEING EVER AGAIN YOU ARROGANT BITCH. WHAT YOU DID IS DISGUSTING, AND I WILL NOT LET THIS BE UNHEARD."

before leaving the restroom, ella kicked him before saying, "now excuse me as i whoop your ass to the authorities."

ella informed one of the chaperones, and the chaperone nodded before heading towards the restrooms.

as the situation was being settled, beatrice ran over to ella and hugged her.

beatrice cried, "i feel like if i came that i would have prevented all of this."

ella reassured, "none of this was your fault. it was that guy's fault, and i'm just grateful that i prevented anything else to occur."

beatrice exclaimed, "but if i didn't let you go-"

ella shushed her, "don't put the blame on yourself. we both didn't know it would happen."

they both didn't speak with one another whilst they hugged each other.

after a while, beatrice sniffled and whispered, "remember that i'll always be there."

ella whispered back, "i know bea. i'll always be there for you too."

the reason why i had brought up rape is because i wanted more awareness towards the disgusting act.

when somebody doesn't give you their full and confident consent, it means they have no interest in having sex whatsoever.

do not try to force them because each individual human being deserves to have a control of their body.

nobody else except for you yourself have the right to control your body.

and those who doesn't respect that basic human right, they in no way deserve to be free and unpunished of such a degrading act.
