The Boy Next Door

Chapter 16- ROMP

Evans POV

My alarm goes off and I spring out of bed. The day is finally here!!!! This day has to go perfectly. I get up and put on some Blue jeans and red and navy plaid shirt and black converse. I grab a banana and yell bye to my mom. I rush out the door and walk to Patrice's house. She isn't expecting me. I stand on the porch and wait until she comes out. She screams. "Oh my god you scared me."she says. I smirk. I look he up and down. "Looks like we had the same Idea." I say. She's wearing a navy and red plaid shirt, but it's unbuttoned with a white tank top, blue jeans, a navy beanie, and black combat boots. She giggles and we start walking to school.

Patrice's POV

We get to school and walk into our first hour. Lucy gives me a glare. Evan looks at her than me. He gives me a questioning look. I tell him about how she thinks I'm dating Brett. He looks jealous but doesn't say much about it. Out class gets started and it's boring as hell so Evan and I pass notes.

"Excited ?-E" "For what-P" he looks at me. I smile "Jk of course!!!-P" Evan starts writing another note and when he Is about to give it to me, the teacher stops him "Mr. Goldman is there something you'd like to share with the class?" our teacher asks. His cheeks go red "No mam'" he says. "fine then I will." She says.

She picks up the note. " I can't wait to see how pretty you look in you look in your dress tonight 😘❤️" the tracer reads aloud. He puts his head down in embarrassment. The guys laugh and some of the girls aww. My cheeks go red and I giggle. "Well that's very sweet but I'm afraid no note passing is permitted in this classroom mr. Goldman." she says before returning to the lesson. Evan nods his head in embarrassment and I hold back laughter.

Still Patrice

I get home from rehearsal. this was the moment I was waiting for. I start on my hair. I curl it in long flowy waves then do a waterfall braid to it. Then I do my makeup. Finally I put on my red dress that stops above the knee. I pull on my silver sparkly flats and,of course, put on my locket. I Take a deep breath and walk downstairs where my mom is waiting. "Aww you look so grown up!" she exclaims. she even starts to tear up a bit. "Hey mom don't cry it's okay." I give her a hug and then she takes a million pictures. Then Evan shows up. I open the door. He's wearing a black blazer with a white shirt under it and tight black jeans and some black converse. His jaw drops. "Wow. I-I mean you look beautiful, ravishing, amazing, wow!" he says. I giggle and my mom takes pictures of us. Then we get into our limo (my moms car) and she drops us off.

Evans POV

"Alright grab a partner because it's slow dance time" the dj announces. "May I have this dance?" I ask. She giggles and nods. I snake my arms around her waist and she puts hers around my neck and rests her head on my shoulder. We close out eyes and sway very slowly, enjoying the moment. Sadly, most couples aren't dancing slowly, or appropriately. I glance in another direction and see Brett standing against the wall, looking at me in envy. I smile and close my eyes. Unfortunately, the song ends and we go back to wild dancing. Then the principal comes on stage. "Good evening ladies and gentleman. It's the moment you've been waiting for, the Romp king and queen!" our principal mr. Harris says. "You're romp king is Brett Sampson." I'm not surprised. I clap quietly. "You're romp queen is...... Well look at that! Someone who wasn't even on the ballot! Well the people want what the people want." Lucy's eyes go wide. She knows it's not her since she was on the ballot. "your romp queen is Patrice Parker!" principal Harris calls out. She turns to me with wide eyes and I return the favor. Then something clicks. No offense to Patrice but someone stuffed the ballot box. And it has to be Brett. she makes her way on stage and the crown is placed on her head. "Ladies and gentleman, you're Romp king and queen!" He shouts out. Everyone cheers. Except Lucy. she charges onstage.

"NO! IVE BEEN CHEATED! SHE CANT WIN I HAVE TO WIN!" Lucy says before someone drags her off. everyone laughs. Brett and Patrice exit the stage and we return to dancing. "What just happened?" Patrice says smiling. "I have no idea." I say returning the smile.
