"go ask him!" said Dustin. he and i were the only ones not dancing, besides Mike who was sitting alone.
"i don't know Dustin.. what if he rejects me? which is highly likely." i said to my best friend.
"then he's a dickwad. just ask him, y/n. if he says no we can both get out of here and get some food or something. but only if you at least try." he said.
i grumbled and then sighed.
"fine." i muttered, "he's going to say no."
i started walking over to him when he spotted me. i suddenly got so nervous i felt sick.
but then his attention shifted to the door. the door in which El was walking through.
my heart dropped. how could i ever think he'd actually dance with me? how could i ever think i'd stand a chance?
Mike smiled at El and El smiled back.
Mike told her she looked beautiful and asked her to dance.
i could feel my tears already forming at the brim of my eyes.
she nodded and they went out into the crowd of kids to dance.
he'd always chose El. never me. only her. only El. even if i was there for him longer than she has.
i bowed my head in defeat and the tears started to drop.
Dustin ran over to me.
"he chose her. he always chooses her. no matter how hard i try, it's only her. it's never me." i sobbed.
Dustin shook his head and hugged me, "i'm sorry y/n." he took my arm and said, "let's get out of here."
i agreed and we started to walk out.
but i stupidity looked over my shoulder at Mike and El. i shouldn't have. they were kissing.
