Chapter 28

Sky's POV

I happily walk towards the choir room after finishing my science quiz from the previous day. Once I get to the room, however, I see a tall figure standing in front of the door.

"Hey." I smile as I open and close the door. After not getting a response from either of them I look up, confused. "Did you both suddenly go mute?"

"He asked you to prom and you didn't tell me!" Eve shouts, wide-eyed.

"Dude it literally just happened and I told you I was going to be in late here later than normal today." I put my hands up in defense. "Why do you look so scared?" I look up at Thomas who was still fiddling with his hands.

"Because I finally asked you and you said yes and I'm pretty sure I'm just dreaming and I'm going to have to wake up soon and actually ask you." He explains.

"Well I can assure you, you are not sleeping and I actually said yes." I pinch his arm and he pulls away with an 'ow.' "See? Pain. You are one hundred percent awake."

"Hold up!" Eve yells. "What?!"

"What do you mean 'What?' He asked me to prom and I said yes." I shrug.

"How? When? Why was I not there? Why did you not tell me?"

"Okay, so this morning I went to pick him up and we drove to school..."

"No, skip to the promposal!" Eve says flailing her arms towards me.

"Fine."

*flashback*

I walk to my locker, placing everything I didn't need inside. I mentally groan as I close my locker and turn to my science class to finish my quiz from the day before.

"Hey." Someone says behind me.

Startled, I turn around to see Thomas with a somewhat nervous look on his face.

"Oh hey."

"So... What are you doing?" He tries to start a conversation.

"Um, I actually have to finish my science quiz. I'm about to head there right now." I point my thumb behind me.

"Oh, cool cool." He looks basically everywhere but at me.

"So are you going to speak? Or...? Because I kind of-"

"Okay I have to ask you a question and I'm just going to say it because every time I've tried I've been interrupted."

"Okay?" I say as more of a question. "Go ahead."

He lets out a deep breath and starts his sentence. "Sky will you.." Just to his luck, the bell rings just then. "Goddamn that fucking bell!" He yells. "Sky will you go to prom with me?" He asks frustrated, his eyes going wide with shock once he finished his question.
