prom. every girls dream time. not mine. i'd rather drown myself in spaghetti in the middle of the cafeteria than go to prom. i can't dance for shit and i'm not getting dressed up to hang out in the gym that has caused me so much pain since i started here.

on top of that i have to watch someone be crowned a king and queen when its not me. no thanks. i refuse to watch that. that's why i'm here in my living room, eating a bag of popcorn and watching 'love simon' on the night of prom. i'd rather celebrate my graduation that will be here in 5 days from the comfort of my own home.

"you're not like most girls you know that," Ace walks into the lounge room with a bunch of candies.

"ooo skittles are my favourite. hand 'en over babe," i reach over to grab the bag that rests in his arms. once i've got hold of the bag i rip it open and shove a handful into my mouth.

Ace laughs and sits down next to me opening a different bag of lollies.

"is it bad that i'm glad you don't want to go to prom?" he asks. i shake my head.

"nope," i say, popping the 'p'. i don't care really. if he had of asked then maybe i would have thought about it but he didn't and i'm kind of glad.

"can we please watch something else," Ace whines. i roll my eyes at him. is he serious.

"it's almost done. stop complaining," i tell him. a groan leaves his lips but he doesn't speak again. i lean over Ace and lay in between his legs. his lips come down and rest on my temple. i look up to him and smile. he leans down like he's going to give me a kiss but his mouth comes down and bites my nose.

        "Ace!" i yell out, laughing

"Ace!" i yell out, laughing. he starts laughing too and leans actually kissing me. i kiss back loving the feeling of his lips. the small kiss slowly turns into a make out.

"i love you, so much," Ace whispers between kisses.

"i love you too,"

before i know it my body is being lifted up. i wrap my legs around Ace's waist so i don't fall as he starts moving.

"what are you doing?" i ask, gripping tighter as i feel myself slipping down. we reach my room and my back lands on my bed and i bounce. Ace crawls over me and flips us over so i am straddle him.

you can put the rest of the puzzle together.

❁ ❁ ❁

i stand in the shower as the water runs over my head and down my body. memories of yesterday's events flow through my mind and i already know i'm blushing without even having to look.

wow i had sex. i thought i would die a virgin and lonely because of my unhealthy crush on Zac Efron. rolling my eyes at my strange thoughts i stand straight, turning off the water i step out of the shower and wrap a towel around myself. i reach up to the cabinet above the mirror and get another towel to wrap around my hair.

walking out of the bathroom i go to my dresser and grab a random t-shirt and shorts and quickly change into them. deciding i want to braid my hair while it's wet so it's curly later i take the towel off my head and put it back it the bathroom.

getting my laptop, i sit on my bed and play a youtube video to watch so i'm not bored. ten minutes later i'm done both braids and watching random videos on youtube. i hear my phone start buzzing from somewhere in my room so i pause the video to find it.

once i've found it i see that it's just Amelia calling.

"yes?" i ask answering the call.

"god it took you long enough," she groans.

"sorry i didn't know where my phone was," i tell her rolling my eyes. not everyone is mentally attached to their phone Amelia.

"whatever. is your boyfriend with you?" she asks.

"no he went to talk to his mum and dad," i'm glad he's doing that. he needs to figure out stuff and i'm sure he'll regret it later on.

"okay well i'm coming over. bye," she says before hanging up.

"bye," i say even though she's already gone. i throw my phone on the floor but pick it up again almost straight after, realising it's probably not a good idea to lose it again.

i head downstairs and into the kitchen, grabbing some brownie bites and sitting at the counter as i wait for Amelia to show up. about five minutes later i hear the door swing open and close again signalling that the devil has arrived.

"you're eating brownie bites without me?" Amelia asks sounding genuinely offended. she sits down beside me and shoves at least 4 into her mouth at once.

"hey, hey calm down," i tell her. she just rolls her eyes and continues eating. we sit in silence eating until there's no food left. i stand up and throw the rubbish in the bin and sit back down.

"i have a secret," Amelia mumbles.

"and what is this secret?" i ask turning to her.

"me and Ethan are together," she whispers. i jump out of my seat and throw my hands up.

"YES! my ship has sailed!" i yell. Amelia laughs, throwing her head back.

"let's have a party!" She yells standing up and connecting her phone to the speaker sitting on the kitchen bench. music starts echoing against the walls, through the whole house.

we both start jumping up and down, screaming out lyrics and playing the air guitar.

god i love my best friend.
