Eyes on You

Chapter 18

That last incident was the biggest highlight of your life so far. Who would forget it? You lost the chance of being with someone you finally had a feeling for, even worse, got humiliated in front of him! But today, today you're different. You've come to your senses that you actually need to survive high school. Of course, at first you were struggling to get your mind off all these. That day, when you had your heart broken, you came back home and went straight to your room, rushing past through your mom, and locked yourself before crying your eyes out. Your mom, being a loving concerned person she is, made your favourite food for dinner and let you had it on your bed while being a good listener to what had happened.

Since beginning, Brendon is your mom's least favourite person. Of course he is, everything that you ever told your mom about Brendon has always been bad news. Even when you and Brendon had got along well, you keep it from your mom, fret that she can't accept that. Now that you've recover from everything, you're ready to go to school with your usual self-confidence. You even promise yourself to ignore Brendon, act as if you never know him, if you ever bump into him anywhere, no more being a coward. It'll be just you minding your own business.

There's this one time, Dallon come approaches you. This really surprises you, it's really a rare occasion. But he's all alone by himself. When he's finally beside you, he reaches his hand forward, with a letter in his hand. You look at that piece of paper, then lift your face to look at him. "It's for you." Was the only thing he said. You quirk an eyebrow. "Come on, just take it. It's from Brendon." Hearing this, you decide to take it. But what you do next make Dallon's eyes go wide. You tear apart the letter right in front of him and say, "I have nothing to do with Brendon's bullshits anymore." You then drop the pieces on the floor before turning around to walk away.

You think, it's better to spend your high school life focusing on your own agenda and have quality time with your friends, especially F/n and Patrick. Oh, they both are the best, always there to protect you. After learning about what befell you, they are glad to help anytime necessary. That's why you love to give them hugs. You can't thank them enough for everything they did for you. F/n and Patrick's relationship is going well too. They finally reveal about it to all your other friends, and your group of friends welcome him into the group, feeling happy for both of them. You're happy again. Happy that everyone around you is having a great time. And you can't help to feel the joy as well.

One day, F/n requests to drag you along to the shopping mall. She keeps talking about the need to get a new dress. You don't understand, why would she need one suddenly?? She even mentions about Patrick tagging along as well. So, you finally oblige. At one of the shops there, you're just trailing from behind while F/n and Patrick are a few feet ahead of you, talking about one particular dress that caught F/n's eyes. "I think you'll look great in it." Said Patrick, looking at F/n with a smile on his face. "Patrick, you said that to all the dresses I've tried before." F/n finishes with a giggle, making Patrick blushes at his own silliness. You laugh as well, before start saying something, "But F/n, I agree with Patrick on this one." "It's nice...but, do you think the colour suits me??" F/n really is taking a long time on getting a dress.

"Just take the dress for God sake. You only need another random dress for your closet anyway." You're getting a bit tired of all these. F/n gasps at your remark, being a little dramatic. "But Y/n! This is not just another dress!" "Yeah Y/n, the dress needs to be special!" Patrick joins in while putting a hand on his chest, faking a surprised face as he looks at you. Whoa, since when he's sooo dramatic? Patrick sure learns a lot from F/n. You roll your eyes at both of them, unable to hide the smile on your face. Then F/n continues, "Y/n dear, I must look extra good for the prom. And Patrick, he'll be my charming prince on that day." F/n looks at Patrick with dreamy eyes.

Wait, what??? Prom? What's happening? Did you miss anything? You're totally confused right now.

"Prom?? What prom?"
