Previously On project fat suit: Uranus told Serena that she should tell everyone her reason for wearing the fat suit and she was reluctant, but when he pointed out that he and Holly wuold be right by her side, she reconsidered and he mentioned that Prom would be an ideal time to do so.

So here's my continuation! 



"Serena! Wake up wake up wake up!" Holly's cheery voice sounded as she burst my door open. I felt a wave of crankiness before I tried to figure out what could have possibly gotten her so riled up.

"Is it already Christmas again?" I ask, rubbing my eyes so I can try to see.

"NO! It's-

"Rena, be quiet! I'm trying to watch Gossip Girl!" Kurt's voice called from a few feet away. That's not even fair. Holly was making the noise, not me.

"Kurt watches Gossip Girl?" Holly asked, momentarily distracted.

"Yeah, ever since Sadie made him watch an episode with him, he's been hooked." I explain. But still, I had to wonder what Holly was so excited about a moment ago. Come to think of it, it did feel like there was something happening. But what?

"Oh, right! It's prom night!" Holly announced, bouncing up and down and making her way to my closet. Oh yeah. Prom. The whole Liam and Uranus thing was still bothering me because 1, I had technically committed to a date with Liam, but Uranus and I were kind of an unofficial thing. All of that was drama I didn't feel like dealing with at the moment.

"Rena what are you doing?" Holly asked, turning around when hearing me crash back into my bed.

"Trying to sleep through my problems." I mumbled, covering my entire body with the covers.

"No no no. I went out myself and bought you your dress because you obviously weren't going to. I even bought a hair curler so we could doll you up all nicely." She snapped, yanking the covers off of me despite my whiny protests.

"Holly, I'm not going to prom. I'll just get ambushed. I was already sent to the hospital through people in the cafeteria. An entire ballroom of them and I might as well just dig my own grave." I muttered.

"Don't talk like that. Trent, Liam, Echo, and I will protect you." She assured.

"Holly, I'm tired of dragging all of you into my problems. I need to deal with them myself." I make clear.

"By hiding under the covers in your bed with Pokémon bedsheets?" She asked rhetorically, clearly unamused.

"Well, nothing bad has happened since I made that decision, so I'm leaning toward a yeah." I point out.

"You're going to prom and figuring this whole Trent/Liam thing today or never." Holly announces, squishing up my sheets into a ball and tossing it into my hamper across the room.

"Hm, never seems like the more viable option here." I say after some mock contemplation.

"Listen. It helps to make a pros and cons list, yeah?" Holly suggested, getting some paper and a pen. She then proceeded to scribble some dialect of nonsense that most likely won't help me make my decision. My heart said Uranus...but something was holding me back. Liam was so sweet and kind and made me feel beyond special. Uranus and I however...

"I'm team Edward BTW. Jacob needs to respect that Edward was there first."

Well, it's like Liam said a long time ago about Twilight. We met first. Was that even a logical reason though?
