A/N: I'm officially done with finals so I can write more, yay! Enjoy! Also happy 25th birthday Jack Barakat!

Turned out that Alex still wasn't going to stop my date with Henry and with Prom coming up I was worried he wouldn't ask me before Henry did. In fact I was worried he wouldn't ask me at all.

It was less then a month until graduation and I was afraid for Alex and myself. We didn't seem to be doing well lately. He'd pick at Henry and both Henry and I found no need to defend ourselves.

I sighed at the lunch table and into my food. I wasn't all the hungry and it caused me to remember the beginnning of the year when Alex used to force feed me. A smile danced on my lips, but I was too depressed to move my lips to curve up.

"You're lying," Jack excused Alex and brought me out of my trance.

"I'm not kidding. I'm going to Prom with Melissa," Alex smiled.

Jack turned to me almost sympathetically, "Who are you going with?"

"Oh, I don't know," I lied. I had thought I'd go with Alex. "Are you going with Ally?"

Clare raised an eyebrow, "Why would he go with Ally?"

Jack's eyes widened at me. I winced, I'd just gotten him in a lot of trouble, didn't I? Ally, who was sitting next to me, sent me a glare.

"Why would you go with Ally?" Clare repeated.

Jack didn't say anything, he just looked down at the table.

"Jack!" Clare yelled.

Ally groaned and yelled unenthuastically, "Cause we slept together bitch." The group went silent and our eyes darted between Ally and Clare.

"Whore!" Clare jumped up.

"At least guys don't cheat on me!" Ally scoffed loudly.

"Slut!"

"Priss!"

"Homewreck!"

"What home? You're seven fucking teen!"

Clare jumped across the table and tackle Allyt to the floor. The entire cafeteria stopped and looked. Then one prevy kid had to scream, "Girl fight!" Suddenly all the males in the cafeteria were surronding us.

Ally rolled on top of Clare and pinned her too the ground, "Ha, bitch!"

Clare scratched Ally's arm with her nails and went for her face next. Ally kicked her away and started to crawl back to the table. She made up, but Clare got up too and caught Ally's hair and pulled it back.

Ally whipped around and snarled, "You did not just pull my hair." And I swear the rest of it went in slow motion.

Ally's hand raised up and back handed Clare across the face. Clare fell to the floor. Ally scoffed, "Bitch, I'm not trying to steal you man, but I could if I wanted too!"

Then she straightened herself out and flipped her hair back. The boys that were crowded around us made a pathway and Ally strutted away. We all gawked after her.

"Oh my gosh..." I gasped and watched the crowd dispurse.

"Is it wrong that I was a little turned on by that?" Jack asked.

"I-I... Clare are you okay?" I asked baffled.

"Shut up! I bet you're just as sluttly as her." She spat then got out and left crying.

I blew out air, "Wow."

"Yeah, hey Jules-," Alex started, but was interrupted by a hand slipping in front of my eyes, blocking my vision.

The hand was removed just as quickly and in my line of vision was a beautiful, red rose. "Will you go to prom with me?" Henry asked in his beautiful accent.

"Yes," I answered automatically. I was on autopilot lately. Alex had knocked the wind out of me and sent me spiraling into depression with his lack of interest in me.

Henry spun me around and kissed me. He smiled playfully. "Thank god, because that would've been awfully embarrassing if you had said no."

I laughed and pecked his lips, "It's a good thing I said yes then."

Alex's POV

"Dick," I grumbled and slammed the basketball at the back board as hard as I could.

Rian frowned and grabbed the ball. "No need to break our school's equipment. What's up, Gaskarth?"

I sighed, "Look, don't tell anyone, but I was going to ask Jules to prom right when Henry walked up."

He raised an eyebrow, "I thought you were going with Melissa?"

"I was... I am. But we all know I'd dropped her in a heartbeat for Jules. She's my best friend. I always planned on going to prom with her." I confessed.

"Are you sure she knows that?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" I furrowed my eyebrow in confusion.

"Jules' face dropped the second you said you were going to prom with someone else. Besides, with you two hooking up-."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Who told you we were hooking up?" He asked shocked and worried.

"Please. I'm going to Prom with Cass. Cass' best friends with Ally and Jules. Obviously Jules would tell Ally, who'd tell Cass, who'd tell me. And Jack's got a big mouth too, you know."

I groaned, "Of course, but my point is that I can't ask Jules to Prom now."

"Well, you'd be willing to give up your date, maybe she'd be willing to give up hers," he shrugged and shot another basket.

"What if she says no?"

"Oh yeah. I forgot you have this weird things with Jules where you wait forever cause you're completely paranoid." He said annoyed.

"I'm not paranoid!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah, you are. And you're going to lose her if you keep waiting."

What was I going to do? I sighed and shot another basket.
