The Short Love Between Jean and Rob

Prom day #1

Athena's P.O.V

Hm...tsk...he's gonna be late for our prom...
"Come on, maybe he's trying to look nicer today?" Mark said.

As always, he's just so optimistic, he tries his best to bring us all together.
He's like our son..the only one keeping the family together.

"Yeah, Sure...I don't think that's the case, all he had to do was put gel on his hair, and wear his tuxedo" I stated while rolling my eyes.

I stood there, outside the hotel, the sun is burning my skin little by little.
My hair is getting warmer from the hairspray, my make up is probably a mess from the sweat, my eyes are burning from the eyeliner...I can't even open them THAT much because of the false lashes.

My feet are slowly but surely getting blisters from my CLN nude colored heels.
My prom dress is heavy, it's made from pure lace and has a long tail at the very end.
When I say long, I mean it, It's unnaturally long..there are probably three people who tripped on it.

"Come inside for a minute, Athena, let that man of yours take his stupid time" Marie and Sarah stated.

I just did what they said and went  inside the lobby.
I looked around, Jean still isn't here...
"Guys! Don't say that! Come oooon" Mark insisted.

But we just went inside, I'm tired.
"You know that song by TLC? What was that? No Scrubs? That's perfect for you" Sarah stated while laughing.

I just laughed and rolled my eyes.
"Look Mark, why don't you just go and enjoy today's event, I'm just REALLY REALLY tired" I told him.

He just looked at me, seemingly hesitant, but did what he was told to do.

"Y'know, your man needs to MAN up, you have to tell him EVERYTHING before he even does them, projects, school works, anniversary stuffs..ugh, It's like he doesn't see you as a girlfriend, he sees you as his mother" Marie complained.
I thought to myself, yeah...that's true, I can't even object...It's ALL true.

I got my phone out to text him, but nevermind, he won't see it...
Instead, I listened to Lana Del Rey - Born to Die.
I continued to listen to music until I saw a grayish 'princess' styled gown infront of me.
I looked up to see my best friend of seven years, Paris Victoria.

She is the definition of nerd.
But I love her, she's been there for me, I've been there for her..
Both of us got bullied at the same time alongside my other friends.

Marie Mendoza
Mae Santino
Anika Santos
Paris Victoria
Vinz Carlos
And of course, I, Athena Faye Corazon, we were all bullied by the same
b!tch3s.

Vinz was bullied for acting a bit...different.
Paris was bullied for being a nerd.
Anika was bullied because she's quiet and a goody two shoes.
Mae was bullied for being friends with us.
Marie was bullied for being quiet and being boyish.
And I was bullied because I got dropped by my super popular best friend of 3 years for fame.

"Hey Athena! Can I sit here? Anika dropped me for Yassy...as usual" Paris explained with a gloomy expression.

I looked at her and then looked at Marie, we both nodded at each other.

"You know, Paris, I know that you are super nice, but come on! It doesn't take an observant person like Athena to notice that Anika is slowly replacing you with Yassy because she's tired of being associated with nerds and weirdos like us" Marie exclaimed, obviously pissed.

Paris leaned against the chair's back support.
She just looked at us and then placed her head to my shoulder.

"What am I going to do? I am so tired of being with people who doesn't accept me for who I am, It's like, both of you are the only people that can understand me" Paris said while sighing.

I looked at the lobby door and saw Gilbert.

"Excuse me for a minute" I walked out the lobby and headed towards Gilbert.

"There you are, I thought you were late" he said while laughing.

I'm not amused.."Well, I've been here for about 1 hour and 20 minutes, so, that's not possible" I stated in a stern tone.
He looked at me as if saying 'Woops' , and scratched his head before shrugging.

"Okay! Everyone! Starting from 9th grade and ending on 10th grade! Come outside, get in line! Again! Starting from 9th graders to 10th graders!" our teacher announced, I wonder...where is Jean?.
