Buttercup:

Four days passed since our talk and still that dream didn't leave me alone. The dress and heels, the cry and the masked boy, the dance and the kiss-to-be move then I would wake up and it always ends up like that. However, that nightmare brought me a disaster! I'm starting to daydream all the time and I'm loosing my focus on my classes, not like I care, and my football games. The ball always hits me and sometimes we would loose. My team started to get worried, my sisters and some of my best friends too but I couldn't tell them about my problem. Yes, I told Bell about this but she is the only one who tries to make me forget about that nightmare.

'That dream became a problem, an illness that I need to find a way to erase it from my head!' I thought to myself slamming my fist on the desk. Bell and Berry were the only ones who were in class, along with me. We were the first in class for the first time and that shocked Berry somehow.

'Berry is one of my best friends and known for her serious tone. She has long black hair in two ponytails that goes down to her tights and black eyes. She is the kind of emo that always wears dark outfits and piercings. Her parents died in a car crash, saving her from the accident and she lives now with her uncle who is very abusive.' I thought to myself daydreaming. And then the thought of that dream again made me grinch with madness.
"Buttercup Antony, don't be very stressed." Berry said with her serious tone and placed a hand on my shoulder to comfort me.
"Yeah, everything will be fine. Also, class will start in only 4 minutes!" Bell said nodding then took her seat. Some students start to get in class, and one of them was Mitch. I blushed and kept starring at him.
Like always he would slap Bell on the face, earn a killing glare from Berry and sit in the back of the class but this time he didn't, he passed by Bell, winked at Berry then sat in front of me. He turned around, facing me, and smiled. That smile fluttered my heart.
"What's up, Butter Green?" He said my nickname winking at me then smirking. I felt like fan girling right now but I hold myself up.
"Hey, Mitch!" I said then smiled. He winked then turned around facing Ms.Keane who entered just a second.
"Good morning, students! As you know, today is Friday which means it's the last day of the holiday. And we all know that the prom is tonight at eight. But this year, the girls have to ask the guys to be their dates, as an order from the principal." Ms.Keane said smiling and sitting down on her chair. The boys cheered and the girls pouted or huffed. All I had to think about is to tell Mitch to be my date, that's all.

Lunch time come and me, my sisters and 5 my best friends sat around our table.
"Can you believe it? This year we HAVE to ask the guys to be our dates!" Bubbles squealed happily while Bunny and Brenda tried to plan one of their evil ideas to ask their crushes out.
"Bell, do you have someone in your mind?" I asked her but she shook her head and smiled back.
"What about you? Are you asking Mitch?"
"Well...um...okay, yes I was asking him but I'm a little scared." I said looking nervously down at my hands.
"Buttercup, the strongest popular girl in school, is scared of asking Little Mitch out?" Butterfly smirking, said mocking me then laughed. I growled angrily at her.
"B.C, don't worry. You can go ahead and do it!" Blossom said rubbing my back gently then smiled. I looked at her and everyone then nodded and stood up and looked around.
Mitch was sitting and talking to Robin. When Robin walked away I was in front of Mitch.
"Hey Butter Green."
"Mitch, hey! So do you have a date?"
"Well actually Robin asked me to be her date." That answer broke my heart. He was already asked and I was very late to ask him.
"Why do you ask?" He said lifting a brow. I looked at him trying hardly not to cry.
"Oh no, I was just asking!" I said in a sad tone but I think he didn't notice.
"Well, see you around, Butter Green." He said getting up and walking away. I looked down and walked slowly towards my friends and sisters.
"So, what did he sa..." Bubbles started then looked at me like I was on the verge of death.
"Girls, I'm going to the bathroom." I stuttered looking down and walking out of the lunch room towards the girls bathroom. I found some people there so I screamed at them to get out and they did in fright. I heard someone who got in the bathroom and I was going to scream at them but I notice that it was just Bell.
"I know, I know. I'm sorry." She said hugging me.
"It's not your fault, Bell, it my problem for loving the wrong person..." I said, a tear slide down from my eye.
"Don't worry, cry whenever you want, I'll always be the shoulder that you cry on." She said rubbing my back after I threw my whole body's weight on her and started crying. Some minutes later my sisters and the other girls joined us and we were bowling with tears and hugging. He wasn't the guy that I dreamed about after all...
"Thank you everyone." I said turning my gaze up to them.
"Do you want to go with me? After all I don't have someone to go with." Bell said and I nodded happily. I know I sounded girly but what can I do.
"But you are wearing a dress!" Here we go again.
"Bubbles!" I screamed giving up.
'She never gives up on putting me in a dress, does she?' I thought to myself sighing with annoyance while everyone laughed.
"I know I promised Bubbles that I'm letting Buttercup choose the dress!" She said winking at me with a smirk. I glared towards Bell then Bubbles.
"Fine I give up!" I said folding my hands and everyone cheered.

After school, I met up with Bell and we got in the mall to search for dresses and heels to both of us. She already found black heels, a gray cocktail wide neck dress with sleeves and a black jacket that made her look cool. I found some dark green high heels but we are still looking for a dress.
We were walking around the mall until I saw something that caught my attention.
"So, what do you want the dress to be like?" Bell asked then turned to look at what I was gazing at.
"What is it, Buttercup?" Bell asked titling her head to the side. I walked slowly towards the dress. It was a simple lime green sleeveless one shoulder grown with a black belt but it caught my attention.
"Do you like that dress?"
"No" I begin staring at it.
"It's the fully same dress I saw earlier in my dream." I said and I heard her gasp.
"Let's go and buy it right up, but first you need to try it on!" She added then dragged me into the shop. I try it and it fit me well. I took it off and gave it to Bell but she told me to go and buy it myself because she still have some business to take care of.

So I gave it to the cashier. He turned to face me and I was speechless, he was so handsome! He had his long black hair in a half-shaved low ponytail, that made him look hot, and dark forest green eyes. I felt my knees go weak.
We kept on starring at each other until Bell put her hand roughly on my shoulder. I jumped a little then took out the money.
"No, please don't. Thank you for coming here but don't!" His sexy voice ranged through my ears like a beautiful song but I stood my place and tried to ignore it.
"No, I was going to buy it so here is the money." I said back and he had a hint of surprise before looking at me with a smile.
"I'm in charge of this shop so don't worry." He said pushing me and Bell out of the shop. What a hot weirdo...
