Don't turn Chloe into a frog

Don't turn Chloe into a frog. Don't turn Chloe into a frog.

"Chloe, you don't need to put all this stuff up!" I said, embarrassed. How did she even make these portraits?

Chloe has been putting posters saying, 'Jameston Royalty' all over the school. There was also a  picture of me smiling with a cartoon crown on my head.

When did Chloe take a picture of me?

"This is absolutely necessary! As your manager, we need people to know the real you! Being your sweet innocent self is perfect!" Chloe praised.

"I hate to admit it but it is working. Clarissa, just let Chloe have her fun. All you have to do is show up to prom. Do you have a date yet?" Kayla asked.

"No... I didn't even know you needed someone to go with you. Is that a thing?"

The girls looked at me incredulously before laughing hysterically.

"I almost forgot you don't understand our culture. While people don't have to have a date, it's supposed to be fun if you had a partner with you. Besides, me and Chloe were probably thinking the same thing. I'm surprised a certain someone didn't mention it." Kayla said once she calmed down. Chloe wiped the tears coming out of her eyes. I furrowed my brows. It wasn't that funny.

"Well then, no I don't have a date. How do I get one?" I said curiously. 

"You could ask anyone to go with you, but society usually makes the males ask the females. Has anyone special asked you yet, but you didn't understand? Any clues who will? Like Nate...?" Chloe said slyly.

"No," I said with a flat look. " Nate hasn't asked me. Besides, why would he ask me? There are plenty of girls he can ask-"

"Don't give me that bullshit. We all know he wants to ask you- the whole school does. It's only a matter of time before he does." Kayla said adamantly.

I blinked at them in shock. Would he really?

"Hey, gorgeous. Wanna go have some fun with me at prom? We can even have some fun after."

I froze. I looked at the girls and they looked behind me, angry. I turned around and groaned when I saw it was Riley Peters, the same boy I danced with at the party.

"What do you say, hot stuff? Wanna party with me?" He purred.

How revolting. Wait, am I supposed to say yes? I turned to the girls for help. Fortunately, they understood the message.

"No way in hell will she go with an ass like you!"

"Go to hell!"

I silently thanked them for being supportive for me.

I began to walk away when I felt someone grab my wrist and pulled me to a chest. I tried to squirm away, but Riley's grip only got tighter. It was really starting to hurt.
