The It Boy

Masquerade Valentines Day Dance Part 2

     It... It was Ashyln. No, it couldn't have been. I had to be seeing things. I must have hit my head and I'm just thinking I'm still at school but I'm really in the hospital in a coma. Right?

     "What are you doing you ugly cow," Ashlyn said as she pushed me off her and pulled her self up.

As I looked up at her I answered: "I'm sorry it was an accident someone pushed me over."

She stared at me as she brushed herself off. I looked down in shame so she wouldn't give me the death stare.

Before walking away she said "I can't believe people like me have to live around people like you." she turned around and strutted away.

     I was so confused and stunted that she said that I sat there in shock for like 5 minutes when a hand reached out to me. Before I noticed whose hand it was I took it and stood up. I began talking saying "Wtf just happened? I laughed "she really thinks she better than me." I looked down and laughed more. "She probably doesn't even know what 2+2 is." I started laughing so hard. When another laughed joined mine I knew it wasn't Dylan I looked up to see Eric still holding my hand staring at me.

Laughing he said, "Your probably right she probably doesn't know what 2+2 is."

I laughed nervously and said, "Omg you just heard all of that."

He smiled and said, "Yeah, all of it." "It's okay she only my sister."

I looked at him seriously and said "Your joking right?

He shook his head and said, "No, she's my sister."

I shockingly said, "Omg I thought you were hooking up or you liked her."

He very fast said, "Oh god no, ew just think that I would rather die she's a bitch."

At this point the halls were clear and it was just Eric and I. I was still laughing at what he just said. When he asked if I was going to the dance.

I shook my head and said, "Yeah, I'm going with my friend Dylan." "You?

"Yeah, with Emma my sisters doing of course." " I would have rather gone with someone else," Eric said somewhat shyly.

"Oh," I said somewhat teasingly hoping he would tell me.

"Yeah."  He said with a shy smile

     We stood there in silence for a while. For some reason, we were always doing that. I didn't mind I kind of like it. It was like we were connecting without talking. As the silence grew long we somehow ended but really close. He was still holding my hand when I got a text from Dylan that broke the silence. I looked at the text it said "Hey, I have your bag waiting in the car. :)" I smiled and texted back "Okay thanks be there in a sec."

I looked at Eric who smiled and said: "You should probably go now so you can get ready for the dance." 

"Yeah, I guess I do." "Thanks for helping me."

Nervously Eric said, "Yeah, yeah for sure no problem."

I turned and began to walk to my car. In the hall, I thought to myself "What am I doing? "I have to focus on my music." When I finally got to my car Dylan was acting hyper asking all kinds of questions.

Dylan asked excitingly "So...... what happened? "Did you kiss? "No, you did omg my girl got game." "Was it good?

    I looked at Dylan and gave him a look that made him stop asking questions fast. The rest of the car ride was silent. I dropped Dylan off and headed home. I walked into my room and threw myself on to my bed and grabbed my diary.

     In it I wrote " Dear Diary, Today so far has been crazy. I've had a busy day with very last minute dress shopping and test in every class. On my way home today I fell on a Becky and not any Becky the main Becky. Ashlyn is her name and I landed right on her when someone in the hall pushed me. Get this she has a brother and he heard me talk a ton of shit about her and the brother is the football caption my old friend Eric from 4th grade. I didn't know he had a sister I never meet his family before he was always at my house. After the whole Ashlyn thing, I had a moment with Eric he helped me up and we sat in silence and we got really close. I thought he was going to kiss me. He didn't and I didn't kiss him. He probably wouldn't even want to kiss me. He's a popular kid. Oddly I wouldn't mind if he did which is weird to say since we were best friends and now we barely talk. I still am working on what happened in 4th grade and trying to find out who the girl is but, for now, I'm going to worry about the dance and try to enjoy myself. That's it for now. Love Ella.

     After I finished writing in my diary I began to get ready I did my makeup and put on my dress. When I was done with getting ready I had some time before Dylan was going to be here to pick me up so I scrolled through my Instagram just to see what was new when I got a text from Dylan saying he couldn't attend the dance. He had last minute family problems and that he was sorry he couldn't take me. I texted him back saying "It's okay, take care of the family problem I'll see you at the school Tuesday." I set my phone down and signed a loud sign. I would have two choices now go alone or stay home and eat my feelings. Which eating my feeling was actually sound a lot more fun then this dance right about now. My mom walked in and asked "When is Dylan going to be here?

I turned and said sadly "He has family problems." "He can't come."

She immediately said, "You still have to go I'm not letting you not go." "It is a memory you will remember forever."

I looked at her and I knew she wasn't joking. I couldn't argue with her I would remember being ditched and then hopefully still going and enjoying myself. 

She knowing I was not going to argue pointed to the clock and said: "Time for you to start going." 

I looked at it and signed. I began to walk out the door when she yelled out towards me "Have fun sweetie, love you."

     I waved back and got in the car and began driving to the school. When I arrived I put my mask on and entered the school. Seeing all these couples and being by myself made me look so depressing. It was like I was the ugly duckling surrounded by swans. I stuck out like a sore thumb but thankfully everyone was wearing a mask. So nobody knew it was me or at least I don't think they knew it was me. All I know is it was going to be a very long rest of the night.
