Step two: comfort Lacey for her loss.

"He's such a jerk." I told Lacey, and she wrinkled her nose in disgust.

"This ice cream doesn't have nuts in it, does it?" She asked, looking at the carton of ice cream I gave her in her hand. She was a mess, her makeup ruined from crying. Her hair was in messy strands over her face, and her eyes were puffy and red.

I took the carton away from her slowly and threw it out the window casually, not wanting to almost kill her again.

"How could he be gay?" Lacey whined and stomped her feet like a child.

"It could be worse. He could be a Gemini." I patted her on the shoulder, and she gave me a strange look.

"Please get out of my house."

Mona decided to walk me out, and closed the door after stepping out onto the porch.

"How's step two going, buddy?" She asked as we walked down the street.

"Prom is in like, 4 weeks. And I'm scared to death to ask her." I admitted, and Mona gave me a questioning look.

"You've never been afraid to ask her out before." She sighed, but I merely shrugged.

"I know, but this is supposed to be the best night of our lives. And I'm worried I'll screw it all up." I ran and hand through my hair, and she took my other one.

Mona looked me in the eyes, and leaned closer to me. She batted her eyelashes, and I looked at her lips in shock before I felt her hand connect with my cheek.

She slapped me.

"Get your shit together, Ashton Fletcher Irwin! You're going to ask her to prom, and you're going to do it right. Got it, solider? Stop feeling bad for yourself and worrying when you could be planning the perfect moment! Don't get soft now!" She rallied, and I held my cheek.

"Why did you slap me?" I asked, rubbing my cheek.

"Because you threw perfectly good ice cream out the window." She flashed me a smile and turned around before walking down the street.

Bitch.
