Faked it

4- (home)coming out

"So where's that Australian candy I was promised?" Hannah said right as Troye opened the door.

"It's on the table." He smiled, pulling Hannah in the room by her hand, "Oh my God, Hannah! What are you wearing?"

"You said less butch, so here, I'm wearing a Bell dress." She smiled.

"From beauty and the beast!" He complained.

"Your suit looks pretty snazzy, also, I might add, we could switch if you want." Hannah suggested.

Troye rolled his eyes "Mom! She's here! And thanks again for doing this it means a lot." He smiled at her.

"Oh course, and don't worry I have a tux to change into in my car, we can match!"

"Oh my goodness, this must be the Hannah you've told me about." Troye's mom praised as Hannah smiled. "Let's get pictures okay? Now where is that damn camera app."

"Mom we have to go!" Troye rushed.

"Not until I get my pictures Troye, oh isn't this a perfect night! My son wears a tux and has a cute girl to go to homecoming with and I get my first reporting assignment."

"Mom you did? that's great, I can't wait to watch it!" Troye smiled.

"Oh, well you won't have to, I pitched those gay kings of yours to my boss and guess who he picked to cover it? Me! Oh, Walters, watch your back. Okay say cheese!" She finally got the camera app up.

Troye and Hannah looked at each other before looking back to the camera putting in the best fake smile they could. Once Troye's mom ran upstairs he called Connor.

"Guess what! The local news is coming to interview us!" Connor said as soon as he picked up.

"Guess what? The local news is my mother!"

"Oh my God, what are we gonna do?"

——————————

"Connor, there you are, where's Troye?" Mr. Howell asked, holding the pillow with the crown and tiara on it.

"Oh he's on the way, why?" Connor turned around.

"Look, I didn't have the chance to order a second crown so would one of you guys be okay with wearing the tiara? I'm guessing Troye but I don't want to make any assumptions."

"Yeah that tiara is definitely more him." Connor assured, picking up the crown and placing on his head while Dan walked away to look for Troye. Connor turned back to the food table he was at when his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Zoe: nice crown

Connor looked up to see Zoe across the room smirking at him.

Connor:nice dress

Zoe: nice butt

Connor:my car. five minutes.

Connor turned around calling Troye one more time.

"I'll be right there, I'm on the way." Troye said on the other line.

"Well if you can't find me it's cause I'm having sex with Zoe." Connor said, overly excited.

"Wait, at the school dance?" Troye asked, getting Hannah's attention from the passenger seat.
