Random one-shots

Herissa one-shot: It's now, or never (Part 2)

He widened his eyes, too shocked to speak. Merissa Nickleson, his rival to the end of the world, will go to the ball with him?

Nick and Averie cheered in the distance and high-fived each other.

He took a deep breath and wore the famous smirk mask on his face. "Great, Nickleson, then I guess you're going with me to prom."

She looked just as shock as him. Her eyes were filled with fear, embarrassment and shock. "Yea----yea."

"We'll talk later about the details, okay?"

"Okay."

He swayed off, looking confident as ever.

What did you just do, Merissa Nickleson? Merissa said to herself, you just mindlessly accepted your biggest rival's request to go to the prom with him! You're so stupid! Why did you say yes?

However, she still needed to act like nothing happened. Harley asked, eyes as big as a golf ball, "You're going to prom with Hugh Cantrell."

"Yes."

"AKA your lifelong rival."

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Well," She had a fake-confident smile on her face, "I guess I need to try to stop being a rival with him. I truly wonder what it'll be like if I go to the prom with a cheetah (which do nothing more than running)." You know the answer, Nickleson, Merissa's mind talked to her, it'll be a disaster.

Harley stared at her, clearly did not believe what she said, but she continued eating.

Merissa continued eating, too, however her mind was swirling like a fidget spinner: what disaster will happen during prom?

She signed. She just finished texting Hugh Cantrell, discussing (correction: insulting each other) about prom stuff.

It was just the same as before. Nothing changed after she became his prom partner.

The prom will be a masque. Therefore, no one will recognise them (they will wear a full mask that covers up their whole face).

They worked out a plan. When others ask where is their partner, they'll phone call each other and go there. However, they'll won't be together for the whole prom. As long as they showed up when their friends ask, they'll think they are partners.

They knew this plan wasn't perfect, but they didn't care.

Let the plan flow and everything will be fine.

Prom finally arrived. Merissa nervously pulled her dress----though she knew it's nothing to be nervous. Her partner is Hugh Cantrell, and they only see the worst side of each other. They have no expectations for the other, so she didn't need to be scared that she won't be attractive.

He won't think she is attractive anyways.

She arrived the entrance of prom. She took a deep breath and went in.

Many students arrived already. The prom wasn't started yet. Some of the students were chatting with their friends, some were continuously stuffing food in their months, some were standing by the door, nervously waiting for their dates.

Merissa laid towards the table, searching for Hugh Cantrell. She didn't expect to see him though, as he should be wearing a full mask. She looked at her phone: it's 6:50 now, and prom will start at 7:00.

Her phone lighted up.

Will arrive in 5 min----Hugh Cantrell

Cursing under her breath for walking in high heels, she walked toward the food and randomly chose a biscuit to eat.

A/N: I know, I know I'm evil for breaking the 'one-shot' to three parts. I'm working on the third one and thinking for a Part Four. However, this 'one-shot' is too long to be a three part story. So... yea... may be four parts... at least three. I really hope you enjoyed this chapter. XXOO, Waterpurple.
