Zayn POV

Sylvia left. She had to some pre-prom shit. Anyway, I'm sitting on the couch watching so,e show that I don't even know the name of. It's really weird. It's all about these fake ass people having family issues. And no. It's not the Kardashians.

Jake walked down the spiral stairs. "Are you ready?" Jake asked. "For what?" I asked. "You don't have a Tux nor a corsage." Jake said. I looked at Jake. "I'm going to wear a plaid shirt with khakis." I said.

Buying a tux and a corsage is way too fancy for me. Plus what is the corsage even for? All it does is attaches to her wrist. What else does it do? "Dude, I know you're horrible with relationships but really?" Jake said. "Just because I didn't have 5,000 girls doesn't mean I'm not good at relationships. " I said.

Just because I'm the captain of the football team(even though, I'm never at school) doesn't mean I date every girl who flirts with me. That's jakes job.

"Dude, you can't go to prom and look like a cowboy that just got kicked off a bull." Jake said. I rolled my eyes. "Prom isn't that important. It's just a dance that's very stereotyped." I said. It's true. You see how "big of a deal" prom is in movies, books, and tv shows.

I don't think it's a huge deal but it seems fun. God, were has my manliness gone?

"You're the captain of the football team, you have to go." Jake said. "Yea. But I'm not gonna get all fancy for it" I said. "Sylvia is. So why aren't you?" Jake asked. "Whatever dude" I said.

Sylvia POV

So, Lizzie, Chloe, and Taylor(the guy who moved here from my old state) and I all are going to the mall to get us ready for prom. Plus, we made Taylor come because we need to catch Taylor up on everything. I don't even know if Taylor is coming to prom anyway.

Who would he come with? I'm dumb.

We all met up at the food court. I was the first one because I speed 20 miles over the speed limit. Drive safe kids! Hypocrite, I know.

"Taylor!" I screamed and jumped into Taylor's arms. "Bugs bunny!" He shouted. That's my nick name. I don't know why. "I missed you! We have a lot of catching up to do and shopping to do." I said. "I missed you to" he said. I smiled.

When Lizzie and Chloe got to the food court, Taylor and them did their "I haven't seen you in long time!" Ritual. We all sat down at the 4 seater table thingy. I have the good English.

"So, what's new?" Taylor asked. "Lizzie and Sylvia are taken." Chloe said. "Wow. You just sold us out" I said. Chloe put her hands up in surrender. "Who the hell do they think they are!? I do not approve!" Taylor shouted. "Calm down. Don't get you're boxers in a twist" I said making everyone chuckle.

"Whatever. Anyway, what's their name, age, and police record?" Taylor asked. If you are wondering, Taylor is the overprotective type.

I looked at Lizzie and she shrugged. "Zayn, 16, and none. Not that I know of" I said. "Zayn? What kind of name is that?" Taylor asked. I was going to tell him that his real name is Eugene but It would embarrass Zayn. "My boyfriend is Brandon, 16, and none." Lizzie said.

"Woah woah woah. Are you guys going to prom with them?" Taylor asked. We both nodded. Taylor looked at Chloe. Chloe mouthed 'sorry'. "Sorry?" I asked. "What?" Taylor asked. "Chloe said sorry. Why?" I asked. "Oh, look! It's 12:00 already. We better get to shopping" Chloe interrupted.

I shrugged it off. We all got up and started heading to Macy's. "Nothing that's shows skin" Taylor said. I rolled my eyes.

>>

It's now 9:00, and we found make up, dresses, shoes, and purses for both Lizzie and I. It took so long because Taylor and Chloe had to approve everything. You know that Taylor disapproved everything that showed even the slightest bit of skin.

I'm so tired. We all headed home. Tomorrow all of us are going to meet up before prom and get ready with each other at my house. Taylor is going to prom with Chloe even though they aren't dating,

When I got home, I was bombarded with questions.

"How was seeing Taylor?"

"Are you ready for tomorrow night?"

"Does Taylor look different?"

How was finding the perfect dress?"

"Can I see the dress?"

I told my mom everything. To how it went from our conversations. I went up to my room and collapsed on my bed. I'm so tired. It was so dreadful trying on all those dresses. My phone vibrated:

Can't wait 2 see u tomorrow 😉 -Zayn

Can't wait either 😄 -me

I'll pick u up around 6:30 -Zayn

K. -me

Goodn8t -Zayn

N8t -me

I let out a deep breathe. Tomorrow is a big day. The whole school will being looking at Zayn and I because Zayn is popular. Plus, I'm one of those cliche girls who want this night to end perfectly: us winning prom queen and king. Then slow dancing in the middle of the room with the spotlight on us. Then us kissing.

I can't wait for tomorrow. I'm even more excited that my best friend in the whole world is coming too. Taylor knows everything about me. And now, he gets to meet my boyfriend. Don't worry. I already warned Taylor about the toughness of Zayn. Plus Zayn likes to mess with people. That's probably why my parents hate him.

Well, only Bob hates him. My mom thinks he's perfect for me. Tomorrow is going to be the best night of my life!

I hope.
