The Player and the Nobody

Chapter 35: Everything Prom Part 2

Whoops I've been pretty crappy at updating haven't I... Well here you go. Last chapter before the epilogue.

~*~PART TWO ENJOY!~*~

§Everything Prom Part 2§

~Ashton's POV~

I look down at Maggie as she continues to stare at the floor, "You know, most girls would kill to be in your place."

She glances up at me, "Well I guess I'm not like most girls." The song ends and she steps back, "Thanks for the dance, but I have to get back to my date now."

She turns and looks around the gym for Derek. I smirk knowing that our plan has been set in motion.

"Where'd he go?" She mumbles to herself, confusion flooding her face.

I brush past her while she continues to graze the crowd. She pulls her phone out of her clutch and reads the text she got. That's my que.

I walk out of the gym and down the abandoned hallway, "Hello Derek..."

The moonlight from the window covers his face as he looks up in anger at me. He struggles to get out of the grip of Luke and Cameron, but they don't allow him to break free.

I smirk and crack my knuckles, "Now let's have some fun."

*Karla's POV*

I keep my eye on Maggie as she grabs the sloppiest food from the buffet. She walks over to her table, smiling at Sam and Kai. I scrunch my face in disgust. How are they allowed into this? Gay people shouldn't be able to enjoy prom. This is my night. I roll my eyes as they talk. Come on.. Sit down... Come on... Saith motions for her to sit and I nod approvingly. I'm so glad that we got the twins and Luke to help with our plans. Saith was the mastermind behind it all. Derek would have his guard down around Luke and Cameron because they're friends. Then they would send Maggie a text from his phone telling her that he stepped out for a little and that she should get him some food. My job was simple. As the head of planning the prom I made sure all the food options were as messy as it gets. Ribs, mashed potatoes, gravy, raspberry and chocolate lava cake, spaghetti and so on. I watch with a smirk on my face as she sits down, but nothing happens. I narrow my eyes at her chair. What?! The table was supposed to tilt and food was supposed to ruin her dress and hair... What is going on?

I cross my arms and plop down at my table in frustration. As soon as I do the tables legs give out and it tips over, spilling all of its contents on me. I scream as ribs fly onto my gorgeous dress and gravy drips down my face.

The entire gym goes silent as everyone stares at me.

Whispers flood my ears.
"Oh my gosh."

"What happened?"

"Serves her right."

"I think that made her make up look better."

"She deserves every drop of gravy in her eyes."

Maggie gets up and walks towards me, "Are you okay?"

I frown and try to wipe off excess food, "No. Do I look okay? My prom is ruined and it's all because of you."

She sighs, "What did I do? What's the big speach you have this time about how I ruined your life? I'm sick and tired of you blaming me for your troubles. I did nothing wrong to you... Yet you continue to go deeper and deeper into this hole that you have dug for yourself. So I'm not sorry anymore. I'm not gonna try to be the nice guy anymore. I'm done with you and your petty ways." I open my mouth, but she cuts me off, "Save it for someone who cares what you have to say."

She sighs and walks out of the gym, leaving it in silence again.

I glance at Maggie's table and Saith meets my gaze with a mischievous glint in his eye. That weasel. He planned this... Wait... If he's in on this... Then what is happening with Ashton?

The doors of the gym fling open and Cameron and Luke walk in. They glance at me and shoot Saith a smile, "I didn't know your boy toy wore make up... He might look prettier than you right now."

Cameron laughs and high fives Luke as they walk towards their table.

The gym slowly goes back into the swing of things as I struggle to stand up on the slippery floor. What the hell did they do to Ashton?

I walk out towards the bathroom and hear giggles. When I enter I see Ashton sitting on the counter, passed out. On the mirror the words "Practice your makeup techniques on me for free" were written in bright red lipstick. Layers of bronze and blush coat his face, covering a bluish bruise on his eye, and a cut on his cheek.

Why is my life such a mess?

*Maggie's POV*

I walk out of the gym and see Derek, Luke, and Cameron walking towards the doors.

They smile at me as they get closer, "What did you guys do?"

Luke smirks, "Nothing. We just helped Ashton feel pretty."

Cameron laughs, "Yea. We gave him a much deserved make over."

I raise my eyebrow and look at Derek. He chuckles and grabs my hand, "Don't worry about it sweet cheeks. He won't be trouble to us anymore."

I widen my eyes, "Is he dead?!"

Luke let's out a booming laugh, "Jeez Maggie. Who do you think we are?"

I let out a breath and Luke and Cameron walk into the gym back to their dates, "I still find it odd that Cameron and Saith went to prom with twins."

Derek chuckles, "I'm just surprised that the girls said yes."

Luke just randomly asked some chick from the tattoo parlor to come with him and she agreed so that she could make fun of all the try hard girls.

We walk back into the gym, pass the janitor cleaning up Karla's mess, and sit at the table with our group.

Jessi leans over and whispers in my ear, "Can I borrow your lipstick? Mine is ruined."

I frown and give her mine, "That's a shame. I really liked that shade of red on you."

~*~

The music fades out as the principal, Mr.Rogers, walks on the stage, "Okay settle down." The gym grows quiet and everyone focuses their attention to him, "It's that time of the night where we announce our Prom Queen and King."

Everyone cheers and herds closer to the stage, eagerly waiting for the results.

"This year's prom king is," He looks down at the paper, "Derek Wells."

I smile and push Derek up towards the stage. He chuckles and jogs up the steps into the spotlight. The senior class president, Amy, places the crown on his head and he smiles at the crowd.

"This year's prom queen is," Mr.Rogers looks at the paper and frowns, "Uh... Sam Wilkes... What? Is this a prank?"

The students turn and stare at Sam. He looks at everyone awkwardly and Kai places his hand on Sam's arm.

"Yeaaaaa!" A random kid from the crowd screams, "Gays rule! You're my QUEEN!"

Everyone laughs and Sam stands up prouder, "Well come up on the stage then man." Derek says into the microphone.

Sam walks to the platform and accepts his crown, a face splitting grin on his lips. Derek laughs and leads Sam to the middle of the dance floor, everyone's eyes glued to their every move.

"I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to dance with the queen." Kai says as he steps up to Sam, a loving gleam in his eyes.

Derek nods and steps back, searching the crowd for me. Our eyes meet, and fireworks go off in my stomach as he pushes his way through the crowd.

"Hello gorgeous. I'm royalty, will you be my princess?" I giggle at his cheesy line and take his open hand as he begins to dance with me.

What a perfect end, to a perfect day.
