A prom with my Bully [On Hold]

Chapter 21 - "Talk About Awkward"

Okay fellas! Here's another update for you guys! :D

Danielle's POV

You know those moments where you just ask yourself this: "Why do I deserve this?" You did? Well that's exactly what I'm feeling right now at this very moment. Your probably wondering why. Well , it's about time I say this phrase, I hate Mondays. This is how my tragic Monday started. Let me give you them two reasons.

Reason number 1: I woke up pretty late, which means I only have 30 minutes before class starts. So as any normal teenager would do at this very situation I rushed things up. I didn't even get dressed well! It's what girls would call a "fashion disaster". I don't even dare explain how I look like! 

Reason number 2: Since I was all in a rush this morning, I forgot my English homework. As a girl who gets high grades in a class, which means not missing a homework, not being called by the teacher and all those goody-two shoes stuffs; Forgetting my homework is a huge thing.

Something's strange, and its stranger than the thought of a T-rex with long arms. Throughout the day, there were no signs of Jenna, Lara and Bea. I saw Johnny by his locker so I decided to ask him what's up.

"Where are the girls?" I asked which made Johnny to look down at me. And by look down I meant literally look down at me. Curse this boy and his height.

"That's what I was planning to ask you." He answered with a worried look on his face.

An evil idea crossed my wicked brain. "Are you sure?" I grinned at him raising one of my eyebrows.

He only raised an eyebrow at me. Its always funny how Johnny looked like when he's confused. "What do you mean?" He asked.

"I just thought. Are you really concerned about all of them? Or just a specific person under the name of Lara?" I smirked when I caught a faint blush on his cheek.

"W-what? What w-we-were you t-talking about?" He managed to say throughout the stuttering.

"Oh come on Johnny! I wasn't born under a rock! The way you look at her! I just know that look! You like her. Admit it." I huffed as I folded my arms.

"Shush!" He shushed me. As if anyone would hear me. "Fine, yes. I like her. Don't tell her please? Please, please, please Dani!" He pleaded me.

"Geez woman, calm yourself. I won't tell her. That's a job for you to do. You have to tell her how you feel yourself." I smirked.

"How?" He asked, completely dumbfounded. I smacked his head. "Ow! What was that for?!"

"You dumbo! Of course. Ask her to go on a date with you!" I said like its the most obvious thing, well it is!

"Then what if she doesn't like me back?" He asked. Aww! My best friend's growing up!

"It is either you have to wait because time will do its job or she's not really 'the girl'" I said.

Johnny hugged me in a bone-crushing hug. "Johnny! Can't breathe" I managed to say as I tried to gasp for air.

"Thank you, thank you Dani!" He said as he released me. "No problem. Oh and you might want to ask her to be your Prom date." I winked as I made my way to my locker and get the stuffs I needed. I just can't wait to go back home, to my bed. Well, I would like to call the Andrews' residence my home now, so is the bed. 

—————————————

"I can't believe Prom is in three weeks." I said as I talked with Alex. The two of us are in good terms now. 

"I know. Finally, people could admire everything I've made!: He jumped on my bed. And he's actually squishing me now.

"Alex! Get off of me!" I tried to squirm but it's no use. I even tried to push him off but it ain't possible because he landed on my back. "And you're not the only one who worked for it! And may I remind you, you suck at painting!" I offended him. Feeling smug when suddenly, he got off of me quickly but he spun me around making me look at him. Those brown eyes that could easily get me hypnotized, his messy hair that looks so soft. Then that supid, adorable smirk on his face. Either I want to kiss it away or punch it away. Woah Danielle! Where did that come from?! I should really clear my thoughts. And as much as I hate to admit it. I have a huge crush on this guy who's currently pinning me down on the bed at the moment. Then that's when I realized we were really in an awkward position. Way awkward!

"Take a picture, it lasts longer." I knew his cockiness won't be gone for long. This made me do the famous 'eye-roll'. Then I just realized, he just caught me staring at him. Talk about awkward. "And never insult my Painting skills." He leaned in his face closer. "Or else..." He paused. Oh gosh, this is plain awkward. I tried my best to hide my blush. I mean the guy you like is just an inch away from you for crying out loud! I'm a teenage girl with hormones! I tried to look like I'm not bothered with our position.

"Or else what?" I managed to say. My voice coming out small and shaky. Wow, way to go Danielle.

"Or else, this." He placed his hands on my waist, which in fact, had bolts of sparks rushing through me. He wriggled his fingers on my sides, then on my stomach. Okay, I never thought I could be this ticklish.

"O-okay! S-st-stop!" I managed to plead in between my fits of laughter. 

"Only if you say I'm the best painter!" He said playfully. Smiling down at me. He thinks he'll get what he wants. Nope, ain't happening.

"Never!" I yelled at him and started to laugh even more.

"Never?" He stopped tickling me and this time, leaned his face closer once more. 

"Never." I breathed out. I was trapped in the gaze of his magnificent eyes. I hate this hormones. I seriously do.

He was about to say something else when someone barged in our room. Wait, did I just say OUR room?! Well, we both share the room anyways.

"Guys dinner is ready! Oh gosh, I'm sorry am I interrupting something?" Rosie asked, sharing the same smirk Alex usually uses. Alex got off of me quickly enough that I felt... cold.

"No" We both managed to reply at the same time. 

"Uh-huh." Rosie smirked. A smirk that reminds me of Alex. "Just come down you guys when you're done being busy." She winked at us and as she closed the door, I was sure that I was doubling over and started to laugh... real hard.

"You find that funny?" Alex asked, taken aback, completely confused with the situation of why was I laughing at something that shouldn't be laughed at. Well, not normal people would. I only nodded in response to his question.

"You are unpredictable." Alex smiled at me, shaking his head.

"I know" I thought.

Sorry guys! Short chapter, I know! But this is somehow like a filler for the next chappie! Please, please, please, don't hate me. Don't chase me around with pitch forks and torches. I am completely sorry that I wasn't able to update much. It was just that school started again and research here and research there. And most of the times, I get a writer's block. I hope you guys could cope with that. Anyhow, I love you all so much for having great patience. And hey! Look on the bright side! Alex and Danielle are finally getting back to sort-of-normal state again! And lookie! Johnny finally admitted that he likes Lara!

ex-oh-ex-oh & heart-heart
