Emma Pov
*next morning*
6:45am
I roll over, hitting my alarm on my desk. Man I hate that fucking sound.

After getting ready and cleaning myself up, I walk to the kitchen, grab a quick coffee and head out the door.

*at school*
Everyone at school is so jumpy, because you guessed it. Prom is coming up. There are 27 days left until prom. I am beyond nervous, and idk why. I guess it's just because I'm a little insecure. I never thought about going to prom until Ethan totally flipped the switch and came into my life. He has honestly made my life so much better. And I'm happy about it.

*after 1st period*

I head to my locker and start to grab my other books for more dumb subjects we have to learn about for an hour total. After getting everything I need, I head in the direction of my 2nd period and feel a hand creep it's way onto the small of my back. I smile to myself knowing it's Ethan. That is until I hear a rather deep voice whisper in my ear. "Hey sexy." I turn to see Nate, Ethan and Grayson's "friend." I immediately swat his hand away. "What the hell?!" I shout.

His narrow eyes rake down my body. What a fucking creep. He steps closer, "come on baby I bet you're fun in bed." He says, licking his lips, but I continue to push away, "get off me!" I scream. People are staring. Why aren't they helping? Losers. I close my eyes wanting Nate to just leave me alone. I open them to find him not on top of me anymore. Where is he? I get my answer when I look down at the ground to find Ethan punching the shit out of Nate.

"Lay a hand on her again and I swear!" Ethan yells, punching Nate square in the jaw. Grayson struggles to get Ethan off of Nate. "Bro you're gonna kill him!" Grayson yells and finally gets Ethan off of Nate.

"You're gonna regret this Dolan! Fuck you!" Nate says before turning around and running away. I hear Ethan mumble, but I can't make it out. Ethan immediately rushes over to my side.

"Em are you hurt? Are you okay? Did he touch you? Did yo-"
"Ethan! I'm fine, he just tried to hit on me, nothing happened!" I assure him. He lets out a breath of what seems to be relief as he nods. "Okay a- are you sure? Because if he hurt you, I swear that fucker is gonna get what's coming to hi-"
"Ethan!" I calm him. "I'm okay. Nothing happened." I say running a hand through his soft hair.
"I. . . Okay. You're sure?" He asks again. "Yea e. . . I'm okay." I say. He raises a brow smirking. I give him a questionable look as we start to walk down the hallway. "What?" I say a little confused but yet amused by his sudden change of mood. He smirks even more. "E?" He teases. "That's cute. What should I call you?" He asks. "Maybe like. . . Em?"

I shrug. "I don't know. . I guess you could. . . Just call me anything I guess?" I say. His eyes go wide. "What?" I question.

He looks down. Huh? "What e?" I tease. He looks back up looking at me, "nothing just don't say call you anything because there are a bunch of things I would love to call you." He smirks. I gasp and swat his arm. "Ethan!" He laughs. Me and Ethan also have the same 2nd period so all class period he kept telling me how beautiful I was and to never leave him. I thanked him and assured him I wouldn't leave his side if I didn't have a good excuse to.

*after school*
I walk out of class and wait for Ethan for about 5 minutes. . . 10 minutes. . .15 minutes. . . Then 20. Where the hell is he? He promised to take me home. I wait another 5 minutes then decide that this is a waste of time and start to walk home.

*at home*
I finally get home and my feet are killing me. I walk up the steps in my front yard and go to open the door but realize that it's. . . unlocked. Okay? That's unusual. My mom never leaves it unlocked even when she's home. I open the door and it's pitch black, aside from the light peering in through windows and the open door. I close the door and turn the lights on to find a trail of rose petals on the floor leading somewhere. Huh? What's going on? I do just what all the girls in horror movies do and I follow the trail. It leads to my bedroom. Um okay? I open the door to find a huge heart made of rose petals on my bed. I smile. I'm startled when I feel two large hands on my back.

"Ahhhh!" I yell. This is what happens in horror movies. The dumb girl follows the trail and gets killed. But that's not what happened. I turn around to see Ethan. He's holding a poster. I look down at the poster and read what it says.

Prom?
