The Prom Date

"Yo! Earth to Eli? You still there, man?" Lucas waved his hands frantically in front of me trying to snap me out of my lost thoughts which worked considering I acknowledged his flying hand.

"Still here" I replied dully. Man, I can't believe I didn't get Isabelle. Tough shit ass luck.

"Hey, are you still upset about not getting Isabelle?" Lucas asked and If I'm correct myself- a once In a blue moon concerned expression on his face.

"Y-yeah"

"I got an idea" Lucas threw one of the most brightest smile ever. It was like he came up with the ultimate solution to the zombie apocalypse or something or as if he found the Garden of Eden.

"I don't think that's a good idea" Jason shot at Lucas, his eyes slightly glaring.

"Why not?" Ethan asked, clearly siding with Lucas.

"Ethan, are you seriously siding with Lucas?"

"There's nothing wrong with his ideas"

"Are you kidding me? Remember when he suggested we just grab the answer sheet to the History exams? 2 months of community service and washing plates at the school cafeteria. That definitely wasn't fun" Jason frowned at the memory.

Ethan and Lucas also cringed at the memory.

I did too. That really wasn't fun. Coach was furious that I couldn't practice for swimming like I normally would. Mom and Dad looked like they were going to turn cannibal and eat me up in that moment when I told them about what we did and the punishment.

That was goodbye to my Xbox for 2 months! How I survived- thank you, TV- especially to you, Spongebob Squarepants.

"Let's just give him a chance. He might actually come up with something good" Ethan suggested.

Lucas grinned like a Cheshire cat at this.

Jason gave it a shot and I, couldn't wait to hear what Lucas had to suggest.

Lucas faced me. "You want to get together with Isabelle, right?"

I nodded.

"Charlotte's her sister, right?"

I nodded again.

"Why not use Charlotte to get closer to Isabelle?"

Jason immediately dismissed this idea, Ethan said it didn't seem like it would do any harm but it was all up to me. I was considering this idea.

"When you say "use Charlotte" it makes you sound like a complete douche-bag" Jason protested.

Lucas huffed, "Fine, let's change the word then- with the help of Charlotte then."

"Dude, have you seen Charlotte? No offence. She doesn't seem exactly like a girl who can easily "make friends" and you expect that she'll grant a favor?" Ethan pointed out, an eyebrow raised.

He had a point, a couple of minutes ago she just vanished off somewhere without even saying so.

Ethan clapped his hands, "How about this? You just find the dude who got Isabelle's name and just swap?" he shrugged.

"Ethan, you're a genius!" I grinned.

"I already knew that but thanks for saying it" he smirked.

Jason, Lucas and I just rolled our eyes. Ethan as every other teenage boy had his ego-boost moments.

"But- wait! I have no shitting idea who got Isabelle" I groaned.

"That's exactly why you're given three different types of bros, man; the serious one, the over-confident dick one and lastly, the awesome one with cool wolf-like hearing-"
