Listen To Your Heart

Rejection

Prom Day 2:37 p.m.

Chad carefully looked around the corner and spotted Lonnie in the courtyard talking with some of her yearbook friends. This was his chance. He didn't know it was gonna go down, but one way or another he was going to ask her to prom. He turned back to his locker and tried to fix his hair in the mirror. He took a mint and popped it in his mouth and adjusted his tie. It was now or never. He picked up the small bouquet of flowers and headed for Lonnie.

Lonnie was chatting with her friends about yearbook pictures at prom when she felt a tap on her shoulder. Thinking it was important she turned around. But upon realizing who it was she quickly turned back around. Her friends remained quiet, not knowing why Chad Charming had approached them.

Chad sighed. "Look, Lonnie. I understand I'm the last person you want to see right now, but can you hear me out?"

Lonnie continued talking to her friends as if he wasn't even there. Chad rolled his eyes at her childish behavior. "Lonnie, please."

"I'm sorry," Lonnie suddenly said. "Did you guys hear something?" Her friends just shrugged, while trying to contain their laughter.

"Hmm. Must have been the wind." Lonnie said, smirking. Chad had enough. He pushed his way in front of Lonnie. She looked surprised that he'd appeared in front if her.

"Lonnie please listen to me," Chad pleaded.

Lonnie rolled her eyes. "You have one minute."

Chad held out the bouquet. Lonnie's friends gasped and her eyes widened. Chad went on one knee. Other bystanders had stopped what they were doing and looked in shock at Chad. He never in the history of Auradon, had done sown thing like this.

"Lonnie will you go to Prom with me?" Everyone held their breath waiting for her answer. Lonnie's face was a mixture of emotions. Happiness, confusion, rejection, disgust, betrayal.

"No." With that she turned in her heels to her dorm. Chad stood up, dazed at just being rejected. Everyone else was shocked at having witnessed the first girl to ever reject Chad Charming. Chad started to follow Lonnie who was walking briskly back to her dorm.

"No?" Chad asked.

"No." Lonnie said firmly.

"But, why?" Chad asked.

Lonnie suddenly stopped. "Why do you care?" She glared at him.

"Because..." Chad started. "I really want to go with you. I really like you Lonnie. A lot."

Lonnie rolled her eyes. "Is this some kind of joke Charming?"

Chad just looked confused, unsure how to answer.

"Do I look that freaking stupid? You actually think I'll believe that your feelings are legit? Yeah sure, like I haven't learned anything from all the other girls stupid enough to fall for your games!"Lonnie said.

"I've changed. I really do have feelings for you!" Chad pleaded.

"Oh BS! You can cut the crap! Like I'll believe that's true. I can't be with a guy like you. Even if you have changed how do I know you won't be the same like before?How can you prove you're serious?"

Chad remained silent and looked at the ground.

"That's what I thought." Chad looked up in time to see Lonnie turn and leave with tears in her eyes. He left to his room to start getting ready for prom.

But he couldn't help but think that she was right. She had no proof that he'd changed. Heck, he didn't know why he changed. What was so special about Lonnie anyway? He could find another girl. If Lonnie didn't want him, he didn't want her.

But something in the back of his mind told him otherwise.
***********************************
Lonnie was furious! How dare he? Besides she already had a date. He will just not give up! He already asked her twice, and in front of her friends and she hated him for it. But here she was crying over him like every other teenage girl. She looks over to her closet to see her beautiful golden dress hanging and she smiled. There was no reason to cry over a jerk like Chad. She was going with a great guy and she was going to have the time of her life at prom and there was nothing Chad Charming could do to ruin it.

Or was there?
