Be Alright (Jelena Fanfic) *Part 3*

Chapter 27: The Results

Justin's P.O.V.

Selena held my hand tightly and rushed down the stairs. Obviously she was excited to go see the ballots we filled out earlier today. Stopping at the end of the stairs, Selena proceeded to tug on my hand. Once she felt I wasn't coming, she turned around and looked at me confused.

"Why are you so excited?," I asked curiously with a smile. Selena smiled then pulled me off to the side. A few people that past by were staring at us. Although I'm sure those girls were checking me out. Focusing my eyes on Selena, I waited for her to respond.

"Well...I'm excited to see the results of the ballots," I raised my eyebrows, "Okay! Okay! See yesterday in the copy room Taylor and I made a bet. Since there are two themes, we each took a side. Taylor took Dreams Come True and I took Wish Upon A Star," Selena explained. 

"So what's the bet?," I asked. Selena playfully rolled her eyes then looked at me with a duh expression. Rolling my eyes, I thought, 'Yes I know babe. I should've let you finish. Now go on.' Selena smiled then got ready to continue.

"As I was saying based off the themes, we made a bet. If my theme wins then we get to pick Taylor's date to the prom. But if her theme wins, then she gets to wait for someone to ask. Now c'mon! I want to go see the results!," she exclaimed.

Rolling my eyes, I gave in. Selena and I ran to the gym. It felt good to be back here with Selena. Selena opened the gym door and flew in on the newly waxed floor. She let go of my hand and looked around the gym.

That's weird, I thought she was just as into the bet as Selena was. The gym door flew open and Selena's eyes lit up with joy.

Looking behind me, I saw Taylor carefully walking in with a huge box. Selena ran over to her and helped her carry the box over to the table. Selena and Taylor took a seat at the table. Taking a seat next to Selena, I grabbed her hand. Our fingers intertwined, and she looked at me with happiness.

Selena let go of my hand and looked in the box. She took a pile of ballots out and began separating them into two piles. Taylor took a pile then began separating them into piles that Selena had already formed. Oh yeah, I should be helping them. Taking a pile out of the box, I began to help them.

My phone went off. Taylor and Selena both looked at me. They had slight glares on their faces. 'Okay I didn't get the memo that you weren't supposed to have your phone on,' I thought. Putting the papers back in the box, I got up from my seat. Opening the text, I saw it was from Scooter.

Scooter: Hey, how much homework do you have?

Me: Pretty much finished. Just helping Selena out with a few things for prom.

Scooter: Wait. So you're on prom committee?

Me: It's for my girlfriend

Scooter: Okay, I get it. Anyway I'll be able to pull you away from prom stuff for awhile, that is if you want.

Me: Yeah. Where do you want me to meet you?

Scooter: I'm already at your school. So just come out to the main parking lot when you're ready

Uhm okay Scooter. That's a little creepy. How did you know where my school was? Putting my phone into my pocket, I went back over to Selena and Taylor. Sitting down, they didn't even realize that I was back at the table. Too busy tallying votes to realize, I guess.

"Hey babe, that was Scooter. Do you mind if I go meet up with him?," I asked. Selena's big brown beautiful eyes were focused on the ballots. She was silently saying what the name of the vote was, then put it into a pile.

"Selena," I said softly then cleared my throat. Selena finished piling the papers then looked back at me. She shook her head and her face read: sorry. Obviously she didn't hear me. She was to involved with her bet, so hopefully that would let me off the hook today.

"Oh! So sorry babe. I didn't hear you," Selena admitted. I nodded. Right now, I just needed her to be happy and focused on her bet. Then she wouldn't mind that I was leaving.

"It's fine. I was just saying that Scooter had texted me. He wanted to know if we could meet up. But I wanted to make sure it was okay with you that I left the prom committee meeting," I explained. Selena wrapped her arms around me tightly.

While releasing me she said, "Now hurry, you don't want to keep Scooter waiting." Quickly pecking her lips, I got up from my seat and headed out the gym.

On my way out, I had ran into a few girls. Some from the cheer team and some from multiple sports teams. They were all smiles, and asked to take pictures with me. Shrugging, I took pictures with all of them. This was all so new to me. They probably just wanted pictures for some weird reason. After they left, I continued off campus.

When I go the parking lot, I saw Scooter's car then walked up to it. 'I wonder what Scooter has planned for today,'  I thought. Getting into Scooter's car, I slammed the door behind him. Scooter looked back and quickly backed up and rushed out of the parking lot. He was in a rush. So I'm guessing that we were going somewhere important.

"Scooter where are we going?," I asked. Scooter began to speed. 'Were we late for something?,' I thought.

"To the studio," Scooter replied. Judging by the speed he was going, my mom didn't know about this. Scooter sped through a red light. Luckily, there was no accident.

"But Scooter, I have school tomorrow. Plus my mom said I couldn't go back to LA till next week," I said. Scooter rolled his eyes. Obviously Scooter was feeling extra rebellious today. He wasn't listening to my mom which was going to lead me to getting into trouble.

"Don't worry it won't take that long. We'll get there, you record a song. Then we'll leave. I should have you back no later than 11 tonight," Scooter explained. Scooter continued to speed. I hope you're right Scooter.

Selena's P.O.V.

Seriously, I need Justin here right now. Becoming nervous, I tensed up. Why couldn't he have just stayed until the ballots were done being sorted? More importantly why couldn't he be here to hold my hand right now? Looking at the ballots, I nervously re-positioned myself.

The ballots were neck and neck. Seriously, I wanted to win this bet. I mean how much fun would it be to pick Taylor's prom date? Taylor took the last ballot out of the box and set it down between the two piles. The ballot in the middle would determine who would win the bet.

Hopefully whoever had the last ballot, choose my theme. Really, I liked the theme, but I was more into winning the bet. Taylor and I nervously looked at each other then back at the ballot. Taylor put her hand on it and slowly flipped it over.

My eyes immediately went over to the check mark, marked next to their choice I read: Wish Upon A Star, our prom theme.
