Guess I'll Be The One (BYE)

Chapter 2

[A/N] Thanks for reading guys!! Anyway I'm not entirely, always, 100% free everyday. So I prolly would just update every once in a while. Please bear with me I'm so stressed with school I barely have time to sleep. So it would be appreciated if you guys would wait. Thanks for reading, again. Mwa! Follow us on twitter btw, @BYEgorge!



Today is the day. Prom. Prom. Prom. Prom. Prom. I'm so excited right now, I'm shaking. Mom and Rosanna, Bella's mom, did our hair and make up. I actually don't have a date tonight. Bella and I decided we'll go together. Yup, inseparable people we are.

I'm wearing a mint green dress that stops an inch below my knees. There's a black belt around my waist to match my black platform heels. All my mom's idea, sue me. My hair's tied half way and was curled at the bottom, with minimal make up.

Bella on the other hand is wearing a simple spaghetti-strapped black dress that reaches until her knees. Her dress is shorter than mine, yes. Rosanna matched it with some red heels as an accent to Bella's outfit. Her hair's practically the same as mine minus the curls because her's is already wavy.

We drove to school using my car and was there about an hour earlier than everybody. I was busy talking to the principal when I saw Bella flailing her arms trying to get my attention. She was mouthing something but I guess I wasn't there when God gave out the gift of reading lips. She pointed at the exit sign and I immediately understood her. Sometimes I think we share a telepathic mind. It amazes me, really.

I excused myself from the principal and walked over to the door. When I opened it, there there were. Before You Exit up close and personal. I can't help but smile and feel all giddy inside. Anyway it is BYE. They're a tad bit early but that's alright. More reason to hangout in the dressing room. Score!

"Hi, Margarethe Miller. Nice meeting you guys. Thanks for coming! I appreciate it so much." I say while reaching out to shake their hands. Keep it cool, Cris, keep it cool.

"Sure, we're glad we'll be able to play tonight." Thomas said. Thomas, oh Thomas. Where art thou Thomas? Where have you been all my life? I have died everyday waiting for you. See what I did there?

"Great! Come on I'll show you guys the dressing room. By the way, this is Jasmine Parker. Vice President, part time best friend, part time sister, full time crammer." I said gesturing to Bella who has been smiling beside me like there's no tomorrow.

"Gee, thanks Cris. Hi, I go by the name Bella. Please do not be confused. It's nice meeting you guys. I've been a fan ever since." Bella said with a calm voice. Proud of her, clap clap.

"Why Bella?" Toby asked.

"Oh! Uh, it's Jasmine Isabella Parker. Cris and I go by our middle names." She explained.

"That's a very pretty name." Connor said.

"Why thank you. Now come on, off to the dressing room." She was leading our small group into the hallway while continuing her conversation with Connor.

Meanwhile, I was walking behind all of them still trying to process that I'm with BYE right now. I actually have a nice view of Riley, Thomas and Connor's butt. Anyone jealous? Ha!

"It's nice to finally meet you in person, Cris." Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Riley McDonough. Aka my life ruiner. Just the sound of his voice makes me want to melt.

"It's actually not the first time we're meeting Riley." I said with the softest voice I had. I doubt he was able to hear me.

"It isn't?" Pff, guess I was wrong. My voice will forever be audible. Thanks so much, voice box.

"Uh kind of? We used to go to the same school back in middle school until I decided to be home schooled for a while."

"We were? I don't remember your face. I would've but I don't." He said.

"Don't beat up yourself about it. Many people don't." I said frowning. I still am conscious. I don't even know how I was able to be in a nice dress tonight. The bullies from middle school would've still called me fat right now. Sucks to be me.

"Really? I still don't remember you." He said frowning.

"I used to be so fat, glasses + braces. You wouldn't miss me amidst a crowd. I practically stood out of everybody." I explained.

"Nope, still nothing. I'm sorry."

"Oh please don't say sorry. It's alright. Anyway that was years ago." I tried my best to smile. It still hurts me, my past.

We were all chilling in the dressing room making small talks with one another. I noticed that Connor and Bella were sharing a very heated conversation in one corner. And I can't help but smile. Did I not tell you the Jannor will come true, did I not? They're so cute together, I can't even.

Prom started and everybody was in the dance floor swaying with the music. When Before You Exit was up next, Bella and I went up front. They started with I Like That and Soldier. A little while later, I saw Ryan walking over to us and placed his hands on my hips. I immediately removed it and walked away. The whole time, I felt Riley's eyes on us.

You see, that was Ryan Gosling. I wish; but sadly that was Ryan Anderson, lying son of a female dog, gold digger, and cheater pants. He was my ex-boyfriend; who I thought would be my other half until he cheated on me with the school's blonde bimbo. [A/N: no offense to any person who's blonde and reading this.] But he's nothing but bad news to me now. He's a part of my "I will never look back at these" box.

Bella and I left prom earlier and decided to sleep over at Bella's. Her parents flew out to France earlier today after we left for prom.

We stopped by Starbucks before we go home. I was waiting in line when I felt two strong arms wrap around my waist. I felt his breath on my neck as he whispered something.

"Did you miss me, gorgeous?"

I turned around saw Riley's smiling face. It makes me want to die right now, who wouldn't at that sight?

"What are you doing here?"

"Getting Starbucks of course! Where's Bella?" Connor butted in.

"She's in the car. Where are you guys headed?"

"Um we're going home. We leave for New York tomorrow afternoon." Braiden answered me this time.

"Oh that's too bad. Do you guys want to hang out for a while? We're headed to Bella's for a sleep over. Her house's around the corner. You guys in?"

"YES! Um. I mean sure, we'd love to come." Connor half shouted, half half whispered that sentence. Way to go,Connor, way to go.


We all got our orders and drove over to Bella's house. And when she found out they're coming with us. She screamed so loud, I was sure I became deaf. (A/N: peddy, i know you get this. Haha love u!)

For the remainder of the night, we just watched some movies. The boys ended up staying for the night. Lucky for me, Riley slept beside me. Life can't get any better right now.
