a/n: heeeyyy if you didn't know, davina and rachel are mixed cuz the actresses are biracial. my mind kinda blanked out on that while i was writing in the past so i'll have to go back and fix those mistakes. btw are you guys happy with the cast? i realized that every girl besides sienna is mixed and i know ppl want more black cast members in movies and shows, so if you think some recasting should be done, let me know!

I shouldn't have said that I wasn't worried about Kian. At first I thought there was no reason to, he wasn't getting any secrets revealed. But I realized that if I'm in pain, then he'll most likely feel the same thing. It's always been that way with us. He'll find a way to blame himself and say something like, "I should've never dated Sienna, this is all my fault". Which of course isn't true, if I said the same thing about Grayson, he would debunk it in a second.

I don't want Kian to hurt because of me. I've brought enough crap into his life, I don't want him to carry it around anymore. I want everything to go away so neither of us have to deal with it anymore. It's followed us around for too long.

Prom is in three days and my stress grows with each minute that passes. My friends all have some sort of plan to keep Sienna and Grayson from going through with theirs, but I'm not entirely sure everything will work out. I have faith in my friends but I'm positive the two snakes will find a way to get what they want.

Kian and I took our names off the prom ballot a few days ago, much to Sienna and Grayson's surprise. Rachel got a very angry text from the red devil herself. But luckily they're not making her do anymore dirty work.

I really hate that they blackmailed my sister, it makes me want to punch them. But knowing me I would just end up bruising my knuckles and not leave a mark on either of my enemies.

I'm just hoping senior prom turns out to be a night to remember, not one to regret.

"No, the balloons go over there! Why would they go in the middle of the floor?! That's where everyone will be dancing! Ugh, you're no help, I'll do it myself. Fucking shithead." Selena cussed at a member of the committee.

Everyone was spread out around the gym decorating for the big event, and Emilee and Selena are not very fun bosses. They roped us all into helping despite our protests. Now there's a poor boy running around trying to find the right place for balloons.

Kian glanced at me and gave me a funny look before going back to stapling the banner up on the wall that read "PROM 2k18!". I laughed lightly, then walked over to him. I placed my hand on his shoulder before speaking. "Ready for this nightmare?" I asked.

He shook his head, "It's not gonna be a nightmare. We're gonna have the best night of our lives, and our exes will eat shit."

I giggled and leaned my head down to rest on his shoulder. "Sounds amazing. Kinda like a fantasy."

"It's not a fantasy, it's reality." He said. "Last time we went to a dance together, we had our first kiss-"

"And Sienna threatened us."

"But! It was a great night and this one will be even better. Trust me." He smiled like a goof and I looked at him in awe. How can he be so positive? It's taking everything in me not to freak out.
