The Relationship Curse

Prom

Cason and the girl walked out of the car and towards Kenzie. All Kenzie could think about was how could Cason do this to her and then confidently walk up to her, am I so not worth it.

'Hey' Cason said to Kenzie,

'Who is she' Kenzie replied,
'Oh, she is the photographer, I thought if she came early,she could help set up the booth'

Kenzie felt so relieved that she ended up saying 'phew'. Cason didn't quite understand her reaction, but decided to ignore it and said to her 'By the way, its nice to see you in something different'.

Kenzie couldn't stop smiling till they reached inside where they met up with Max. Cason took the photographer towards where the booth was meant to be setup and started planning. Max in the mean time told Kenzie that she looks amazing. He also asked her 'who is the lucky guy?' but before she could answer Cason called her and she went running to him.

Finally everything got set up and people had started coming in. Kenzie stood beside the rest of the decor committee for a while as everyone came in and appreciated their work.

She was busy talking to the photographer,  when she tried spotting  Cason but couldn't see him. She went looking for him near the dance floor, where now couples had started to dance. She finally spotted him at the corner of the food tent.

She ran up to him and said ' Hey, why you all by yourself here?'

'Just I don't feel like doing anything'

'Do you want to dance with me' she asked filled with hope,

'Uhm, no' he replied surprised.

She was set back by this but then thought to herself that he maybe is not a dancing kind of person and decided to ignore it.

She went back to see how the booth was going. After a while, she came back and saw Cason at the same place alone. She got quite irritated by this and started thinking if ways to cheer him up and be with him.

She finally decided to ask him to come see the booth and when he does, they can also get their picture taken.
She ran up to him and told him to come check out the booth. He agreed and followed her. Once they were at the booth Kenzie asked him ' Hey should we get our picture taken?'

'What do you mean our picture?' Cason asked,

'I mean like you and I' Kenzie replied surprised,

'Why would we take a prom picture?' Cason asked,

'Uhm Cason, because I love you',

'Wait what, did you just say you love me?'

'Yeah and you have mutual feeling don't you?'

'Have you completely lost it, I mean what's wrong with you!!!',

'But you were so nice to me, you offered me rides, infact you even asked me to the dance, even shared your feelings with me, i thought you felt the same for me' Kenzie said as she was balancing tears,

'Seriously!! You know what get over yourself Kenzie, just because someone says a few sweet things to you doesn't mean he likes you, i was only being nice out of courtesy... You know what i thought you were weird and a loner, but you are also delusional and a total creep! Just get the hell away from me and get these thoughts out of your head. Me and you can never happen, even if you were the last girl on this planet'.

Kenzie stared at Cason in total surprise. She was crying so hard at this point. She turned around and ran towards the parking. Max who was watching all this ran after her.

When Max reached the parking lot, he saw Kenzie sitting on the pavement crying. He went up to her and didn't say anything but just held her hand and lead her to the car. Kenzie just followed as she cried.

Max took Kenzie home where he met Cathy. They both took Kenzie up to her room where she quickly smuggled in her blanket. Cathy then thanked Max and Max left.

Kenzie didn't show up for the whole of the last week of the term. Cason on the other hand had left the country the day after prom and gone for further studies. Max kept going everyday after school to check on Kenzie.

Things had changed , but was this good or bad?
