monster prom // jenlisa

the day before prom

I was chilling in the auditarium that day. It was the day before prom and the whole place was empty. I closed my eyes, enjoying the sun. I was thinking about asking Jennie to prom. My mind was going through multiple worst case scenarios when I heard someone shouting my name.

I opened my eyes and saw Jennie running up to me, eyes blazing, teeth gleaming. Fuck, she looked so pissed. I gulped audibly when she stopped in front of me.

"You will never believe this shit." She said with a scowl on her pretty face. "Remember how the Coven said we'd never find the earrings?"

To be fucking honest, I did not remember such thing. But I nodded nevertheless.

"IT'S BECAUSE THEY HAD THEM THE WHOLE TIME." Jennie yelled. "We're summoning those bitches and taking those earrings at any cost, even if it's the last thing you do!"

Um. Did Jennie just imply she was willing to let me die in order to become Prom Queen? Irrelevant, because the Coven has been summoned.

"So you figured it out." Number 1 said. Shit, I gotta learn their names. "Good for you. Now give up, because you're never getting them."

"HAH!" Jennie exclaimed with a mischeivous grin. "That's what Chaeyoung said about the sea opal ring her dead grandmother gave her, but look what I'm wearing right now."

"How do any of you have any friends? It's baffling. You're horrible, horrible people."

I mean, they're not wrong, but there must be some way to get them to fork over the earrings so we can complete the ritual... and make Jennie the Prom Queen.

I turned to Jennie and tried to make her understand that I had a plan in mind. Jennie furrowed her brows for a second, then she gave a subtle nod.

"You know what... forget it." She said to the Coven. "Just leave. I never wanted to be Prom Queen anyway."

"I feel like that's definetly a lie. And you're probably plotting something. But I guess we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth..."

With that, the Coven was gone and Jennie turned to me.

"Are you okay? You looked you were gonna die there for a second."

"No! I was just trying to- Wait. Were you worried about me?" I asked. I hoped I wasn't blushing.

"No, dipshit." Jennie huffed. "You are needed for my evil schemes, remember?"

"Yeah, that's why." I sighed. "Anyway, I was trying to tell you that I had a plan."

"So? Spill it."

"Why don't we make replicas of the earrings, find out where the Coven lives, break in and replace the earrings with the fake ones when they're asleep?"

"...That's actually a pretty good idea." Jennie smiled at me. A geniune, warm smile. Not one of her sinister smiles. I smiled back.

"Why are you smiling at me, idiot? Let's get to work."

I huffed in annoyance then stood up. It was on me and Jennie to start my sweet, sweet, illicit work.

Jennie used her connections in the sketchy underground stalker world to find the Coven's house, which she declared to be as trashy as they are. Meanwhile I used the skills I learned in AP Metalworking (for Torture) to forge some pretty damn passable earrings.

We waited until the cover of darkness to break into the Coven's house, using all the athleticism of someone who plays dodgeball every single gym class. I found the earrings hidden in a box of sex toys, the nature of which I immediately tried to erase from my mind rather than imagine the Coven using them on themselves, on each other, on me—OH GOD, STOP IT'S HORRIBLE.

I replaced the earrings with the fakes and used my dodgeball skills to do a triple-somersault from the window and landed on my feet. Jennie was waiting for me outside.

"That was sick." She complimented me. "Now let's get out of here before they wake up and turn us into frogs or nerds or something."

We walked away from the house. Jennie based on the expression on her face, obviously thinking about the ritual. I, on the other hand, tried to erase what I saw in that box.

"Last ingredient procured." Jennie said to me suddenly.

I smiled at the gorgon. "Now it's time to do some blooood maaaaaaagic!"

The gorgon smiled back.
