What My Best Friend Doesn't Know (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 17: James

I button up my black dress shirt and tie my yellow bow tie around my neck. I tuck my shirt into my white pants, and throw on one of Ryan's black belts. I roll up my sleeves to reveal just my forearms, and then I brush my hair and throw on some cologne. Other than shoes, my look is complete. 

I don't know what color dress Amy is wearing, but I am excited to see what color Ryan is wearing. When I walk back into his room, he is wearing a dark red dress shirt with a black bow tie, black pants, and a black belt to complete the look. 

"I'm assuming Amy's dress is red?" I ask him. 

He nods and starts to brush his hair. I hear his a text message come in on his phone, and when I go over to check it, I see Amy's face staring back at me. 

"Hey, Amy sent you a text. Do you want me to check it?" I ask him. 

"Yeah go ahead." He says back to me. 

I unlock his phone, and I read the message out loud to him. 

"Hey I'm on my way to your house. I am stopping to pick up Lauren on my way. What are we doing after the dance tonight?"

"Tell her we are just going to come back to my house after. Probably just hang out until like 3am." Ryan tells me. 

I type the message and hit send. 

"Ryan and James come downstairs so I can get a picture of you three before everyone else gets here!" Ryan's mom calls. 

Ryan and I head downstairs and I see my sister sitting on the couch putting on her silver high heels. She straightens her pink dress as she stands up and smiles at Ryan and me. 

"How do I look?" She asks us. 

"Wow you look like a normal girl! I'm so proud of you!" I say to her jokingly. 

She rolls her eyes at me and we are all soon posing for pictures while Ryan's mom oggles at us. 

"You three look absolutely adorable!" She says 

We all grumble a thank you as she continues to snap pictures of us. Thank God for the doorbell ringing to save us from the barage of pictures. When Ryan answers the door, Rosie's date walks in. His name is Jonathan and he is on the JV football team. 

Ryan's mom takes them outside to take pictures of them, and Ryan and I sit on the couch waiting for Lauren and Amy to pull up. 

A few minutes of waiting, and there is a knock on the door. When Ryan and I answer, our dates stand on the porch looking absolutely stunning. Ryan invites them in and we all chat for a bit before Ryan's mom comes back inside. 

"Oh you girls look lovely!" She coos at them. 

They laugh awkwardly and thank her, and we all go outside for more pictures. 

Lauren brought the sash and crown for Ryan, and they take some pictures together as king and queen. It was a little awkward for Amy and me to watch our dates take pictures with different people, but once it is all over its fine. 

We all pile into my dad's jeep that I drove here and make our way over to the restaurant. 

The night was pretty normal after all of that. Eat dinner, go to the dance, and act look you are having fun at the crappy homecoming dance. It got really awkward though when the king and queen have to share the first slow dance. I end up standing on the side of the dance floor awkwardly with Amy as we watch our respective dates slow dancing together. Neither me nor Amy wanted to dance with eachother, so I end up going to get us some punch while we each wait for our dates.
