my princess/x

chapter 9

^LLJ💔🕊

It was approaching 7:00 when I heard a knock at the door. "Coming!" I yelled.

"No yelling in my house!" My mom yelled.

I opened the door to see Jahseh and his friend. Him in a tux, and his friend only dressed in black pants, a white tee shirt and a gold chain.

Before I could say anything, his friend spoke up. "I don't really dress up.". I noticed...

"You look like a princess." Jahseh looked down at me, in awe.

"Thanks."

"Alright you two, let's go fuck this dance up." His friend(I couldn't remember his name, I think his name is Stoney or Stokeley?) laughed.

We got in Jahsehs car and immediately he began going at least 60mph, and he hasn't even left the neighborhood.

"Oh my God Jahseh slow down! Kids live in this place!" I yelled over the engine.

Ignoring me, he tried to start conversation. "You know we live in the same neighborhood right?"

My mind immediately went back to the time when Maria said he lived close. "Yeah, I knew we lived close by."

"Then why don't we ever hang out? I mean, you're right there."

"Never crossed my mind. I didn't think we were that close."

"Oh."

The rest of the car ride was silent for some reason, Stokeley had his earbuds in and Jahseh was oddly quiet. I just sat by until Jah parked at the school.

"Aye." Stokeley said while holding up a flask.
"Y'all plan to get lit tonight?" He then handed the container to me.

"I don't drink."

"You boring then." He then took a swig of alcohol.

The dance was actually decorated really nicely, considering our schools decorating team was kinda shit. Our theme was "Midnight in Paris", a little bit cliché but it still looked kinda nice with the purple and pink lighting, glow in the dark stars and cardboard 3D Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe.

Jahseh grabbed my hand. "So we gonna dance or what?"

I blushed. "Sure." We danced for about 15 minutes before both of us went to the snack bar and each fixed ourselves a plate. I got some chocolate covered strawberries and fruit punch. Jahseh just got a slice of pizza.

"So I'm sorry if this is a weird question, but do you know who Reign is? She's a senior and sh-"

"Yeah she's Brooke's best friend."

"Well, I kinda like her."

"Oh."

"Yeah I wanted to ask her but we're friends so I thought it would be better to go with you."

"Oh."

For the next hour or so we danced but it was kind of awkward. When they were announcing Homecoming queen I wasn't shocked when Isaiah and Maria got it. She was really pretty and him popular because he's on the basketball team and flirts with just about every girl.

Everything was chill though until Isaiah's speech. "Aight I just wanna thank everybody who voted me here and I also just want to say an extra thank you to everybody who's made my last year in this school great so far. That includes my homie Jay, Coach Patrick, Keshaun, Niveah, Jackson, Aidan, Isaac, OSU for letting me in, and all of y'all. Also I just want to ask for one thing, which is a second chance." He then started into my eyes. "Bianca, I am so sorry for how I treated you." Everybody looked at me. "Girl all I want is a second chance, I'll treat you so right. I'll give you all the time you need. Just please?"

I felt every single emotion running through my body at this moment. Anger for how he put me on the spot, Joy for my 3 year crush wanting me and only me, and most of all shock for this unexpected turn of events. But, in the end, my heart won instead of my brain.

"Yes."
