Chris
Biology class was slowly coming to an and, and Devyn wouldn't stop complaining about how her prom date dumped her. Like I care.
"I don't know what I'm gonna do Chris!"
I sighed. If me and Bria couldn't go together I shouldn't go alone.
"I..I guess we could go together, if you want-"
"Really?! Oh Chris thanks so much!! But..what about Bria?"
It was hard to say.
"We..aren't together anymore." I muttered.
"You aren't? Why'd you two break up?"
I tried my hardest to think of a lie that wouldn't make me or Bria look like shitty people. I tried and tried to think of a lie, but nothing came to my mind. So, I just told the truth.
"She deserved better."

Bria
After class let out I headed to the gym to help with the final touches of our prom set up. Prom was now only 2 weeks away, and our deadline was soon.
As I was setting up table centerpieces, I felt a hand tap my back. Lincoln.
"Devyn stopped me and told me that you and Chris 'broke up', does that mean you're available?" He asked with a sly smirk.
"I guess." I mumbled, trying my best not to be rude.
"He's back with Dev I guess. They're going together."
"Seriously?!" I half yelled, dropping the glass centerpiece on the floor.
Calm down Bria. You two were never even together! Sure..you wanted to go to Chris to be your date more than anyone, but you can't have what you want! Pull it together!
I listened to the mini-pep talk in my head and took a deep breath.
"Oh, cool."
"I guess you're dateless now, huh?" Lincoln said with a chuckle.
"I guess so-"
"Nah I'm just fucking with you. Isn't it obvious? We can go together!" He said grabbing my hand before I abruptly snatched it away.
"Yeah..I guess so." I said, feeling more and more dreadful with each word.
"Perfect. And if you play your cards right I'll make you prom queen."
"What do you mean?"
"Bria. I'm Vice President of the prom committee, I count the ballots. I'm saying I could pull a few strings and-"
"No. I'm not going to let you cheat for me, I never asked to be on that ballot in the first place."
"Suit yourself." He said shrugging, and eventually walking off. The more I thought about me at prom with this guy & Chris at prom with Devyn I got pissed.
Now to clean up this glass...

When the committee meeting was over I headed home. I tried not to let the negative thoughts consume me but it was unbearable, o was now in the worst mood possible.
