Guilty As Sin? (Nathan Prescott x reader)

59 (prom part 2)

Y/n's pov
We arrived at the location where prom would be, which was very fancy ballroom about 45 minutes from the school. Hand in hand, Nathan and I walked in. The music was loud and I recognized the song being Taylor Swift. Nathan and I walk by a few people that we know and talk to them. We saw his friends like Hayden and Victoria and her date Lewis or whatever it was and they seemed honestly perfect for each other. After that we kept walking through the building. Eventually we saw Dana and Trevor but I knew justin didn't come. "Y/n you look amazing!" Dana compliments. "Thank you so do you guys. How's the party so far?" I ask. "Pretty good, a lot better than I would've thought. Oo guys can we get a group photo? I brought a disposable camera." Dana asks and I look at Nathan, not sure if he'd like that idea. To my surprise he agreed.

We took the photo and then afterwards we kept walking. We danced for a while, talked to both each other and sometimes the people that we knew. I decided to go to the bathroom and freshen up. I was washing my hands when Courtney came in. "Oh, hello y/n.." she says in a snobbish tone. "What's up Courtney?" I ask. "Nothin just trying to figure out how someone like you got a date with someone as pretentious as Nathan." She says and I walk closer to her. "Excuse me?" I ask. "You heard me, I don't know why Nathan would be going out with a loser, lowlife, druggie, like you." She says. What the fuck was this girls problem.

"And I don't know why someone as high class as Victoria hangs out with someone as trashy as you. Now back off Courtney." I say back. "Well at least she's alive unlike your only friend." How the fuck did she know that? I couldn't even think before I realized she was on the ground with a bloody nose. 'Shit' I whisper to my self then run out of the bathroom to quickly find Nathan.

"Hey, how much longer are you wanting to be here?" I ask him once I find him. "Oh uh- I don't really care, why?" He asks. "I knocked out Courtney, it all happened so fast I didn't even realize it." I explain. He laughs surprisingly, "well I'm ready to go if you are." He states and we both book it out and get into the limbo.

When we arrived at the beach we both took a sprite can with us from the fridge in the limousine. We walked a long the shore, hearing the distant songs that were sung by the whales mixed with the sound of the raves crashing. When we reached our spot we looked at the sky. It was night but the stars and moon made it so much brighter. I turned to look at Nathan. "I'm so glad we met." I say. He looks at me, "me too, however I wish we met a lot sooner. I knew the moment I saw you that I wanted to know you, but I was too scared, too stuck up." He explains. "Can I tell you something...stupid?" I ask. "Of course." Nathan assures. "Nathan I've had a crush on you the second I saw you when I first came here, I too wish I wasn't so scared and stuck up." I confess.

He pulls me in for a long romantic kiss. "I wish I would've known." He says. "I wish I would've told you, but I'm glad we're here now. Like destiny or something." I state. After a few more moments of silence we decided we should get going, but not without shotgunning the sprites we brought. One word: painful. "God I'm - never doing that again. I'll stick with beer cans." Nathan says on our walk back to the limo. "I didn't think it would hurt?" We laugh and get inside the vehicle.

As the limo drives us to Blackwell Nathan asks, "so why exactly did u knock out  Courtney?" I sigh, "ugh she was being a dick. She has this crush on you I guess and she was all like 'why would anyone as fantastic as Nathan wanna go with someone as lame as you' and so I say 'why would someone as high class as Courtney want to be friends with a loser like you' and then she said..." I pause remembering the hurtful words, that I wasn't even sure how she knew about. "She said- 'well at least she's alive unlike the only friend you had' I don't even know how she knew..." I explain. "Fuck, I'm sorry. She deserved that. You know how Arcadia is, gossip city." He says and I agree.

Eventually we arrive at Blackwell. Nathan and I go to my room so I can quickly change and then we go to his room to sleep for the rest of the night.
