Before There Was You

8. "Who's The Hottie?"

I'm walking in the school Hallway and everyone is excited about prom.

People are handing out flyers to be voted for prom Queen and King.

The schools' atmosphere is bracing.

Everyone is hyped and having a great time.

I feel excited.

I mean what isn't there to be excited about?

I'm finally leaving high school, I have a hot date for prom, my best friend Stacey and I got scholarships.

Everything is going perfect at the moment.

"Cathy! hey Cathy" Stacey calls out my name as she lifts up her hand for me to notice her.

I walk towards her and notice that she's holding a bunch of flyers.

"what's this?" I ask.

"oh take one, vote for me as your prom queen" she smiles then hands me a flyer.

" oohhkay so you're actually participating in this?" I raise my eyebrows.

" of course, why not?! I want to leave a legacy, to be remembered" she laughs jokingly.

"well okay, you know I'm always rooting for you" and I write her name on the flyer next to prom queen.

She continues handing out flyers and encouraging people to vote for her. Playing around and saying corny things to cute guys.

She's enjoying this and I'm having fun looking at her while she cracks jokes.

"hey babe" an all too familiar voice shouts.

It's Antonio.

"hey babe, here's a flyer for you to vote for me as prom queen" she hands him a bunch of flyers"ohh and the other ones are for you to give your friends to vote for me as well" she smirks.

Antonio pulls her close to him then gives her a kiss on the cheek.

"I will, beautiful" he replies.

Ahg aren't they just cute.

"okay love birds I'm just going to leave you guys here" as I roll my eyes and drag my feet to class.

Stacey rolls her eyes "there's literally no one in class now so I don't understand why you're leaving"

"I will see you later Stacey" as I walk away.

I get to class and I sit on top of the table.

I move and sit on the chair.

I take out my phone and connect it to my AirPods then play a song by 🎶Puff Johnson - Some Kind Of A Miracle🎶

I put my hands on top of the table then lay my head at the back of my hands.

I listen to the song as the sweet melody of Puff Johnson lingers in my ear and I begin to fall asleep.

Someone removes one of my AirPod from my ear.

A familiar voice speaks "oh so someone is in love huh".

I lift my head frustratingly and notice Chris staring at me while he has my AirPod in his ear and my face lightens up.

"I'm really sorry did I frustrate you?" he asks, guilt consuming his face.

"No it's okay, I thought it was someone else"

"Okay I was feeling guilty for a minute there" he lets out a relieved breath.
