Jake and I walk into the decorated gym hand in hand, earning us looks from confused people. I'm sure most people think Grayson and I would've solved everything out by now, but nope. He's really serious with dating Sophia.

I shake those thoughts out of my head and look at Jake, smiling. Jake actually cares about me. I don't know what Grayson was talking about, he's nice and treats me right and I don't see him sleeping with my twin sister.

"You look beautiful, I'm sorry I haven't said that yet." he shakes his head and I chuckle,

"No, it's okay. And you look very handsome." I say, "That's definitely why everyone is staring at us." I joke and he laughs. We find a table to put our stuff down. Mariana is kind of third wheeling, but I'm glad because it'd be really awkward all alone with Jake. We go and dance as more and more students pile into the cold and crowded gym.

After a bit of dancing, I take a break and go get some punch while Jake catches up with some of his friends. "Jake is really nice, what happened to him and Grayson?"

"Gray never told me." I respond, "They were the best of friends one day and the next day they stopped hanging out."

"Weird." she says and I nod, taking a sip of the punch that's more vodka than it is punch. "Wow, that's strong. Speak of the devil..."

I look at her and then to where she's gesturing, where Sophia stands in her grey/silver-y prom dress with Grayson. His hand is loosely around her waist, not really showing any interest but she looks so full of pride. I roll my eyes as everyone has stopped what they're doing to watch their grand entrance. That should've been me. Exocet I wouldn't have made him do that, he wouldn't have agreed.

"Wow, that's a bit too much attention I figured they'd be tired of it by now." Jake walks up behind us and I snicker at his comment,

"Sky!" my sister exclaims, then her tone stiffens as she looks at Jake and Mariana, "Chase and Mariana."

"It's Jake," he retorts, and she replies with a quiet whatever. I wasn't really paying attention to them, just Grayson who was glaring at Jake with his jaw clenched, then back at me and he relaxes his muscles.

"C'mon, Jake, let's go dance."

"Alright." he nods and takes my hand, leading me to the dance floor. We do the slow dance to the song along with a ton of other couples. When they move to the more fast paced and explicit songs, most of the students sing along and dance. After a while of being on the dance floor, we go and sit down for a bit.

"It's so hot in here, my makeup is going to melt." Mariana says, checking her makeup and fanning herself with a flyer that was left on the table. "Do we have to come next year?"

"Yes, we are going to senior prom. Alone or not."

"Ugh, I came this year. I should've said either this year or next, it would've been easier for me." she whines and I roll my eyes. She hands me a water bottle that she took because I'm not planning on getting wasted tonight and they only have a spiked punch.

"Ladies and gentleman, before we all get to hyper, we'd like to announce the winners of the prom king and queen." our principal walks up on the small stage. I would gather around but I already know that Grayson and Sophia probably won. "Your prom kind is...Grayson Dolan!"

The spotlight immediately goes to Grayson who stands there for a minute as everyone claps and Sophia kisses his cheek. He goes up on the stage and they place the crown from the dollar store on his head. "And your prom queen is..." she begins and I look over to Sophia who is fixing her hair, "Skylar Davis!"
