"Makenna who is your date?" My best friend Jess asked me in the middle of lunch. All my friends turn to me.
"I don't have one.." I say, blushing
"You're going to win Homecoming Queen! You can't go alone." Alena says and i scoff
"Okay 1, I'm not going to win and 2, I can't make someone ask me out." I say and Jess rolls her eyes
"Every boy in the school wants to ask you out. Plus, you're popular of course you'll win." I hate when she calls me popular. I am the 'leader' of the popular group but i hate that word. I don't act like a bitch, unlike my friends.
"Well if someone asks me out I will say yes." I say as the Lunch bell rings, signaling 4th period would be starting. I immediatley get up and walk out of the lunch room and into my Science class.
I take my seat in the back row next to this really nie kid named Ashton. Every time Jess sees him talking to me she gets mad because she says he will 'hurt my rep'.
"Hey Makenna." He says, turning to me with a dimpled smile.
"Hey." I say, opening up my science journal.
"Are you excited for Homecoming?" He asks and i laugh a little
"Not really. My friends are hounding me because i don't have a date." i say and his mouth drops.
"You don't have a date?" I turn to him with an annoyed face "Sorry. It's just weird that no one would ask you out."
"That's what my friends said." I say and the bell rings, making Mr.Hoffman begin class.
After the class finally ended, i walked to my locker. i hurried to get all my stuff so i could get home and prepare for Hoco tomorrow night.
As i shut my locker i see Ashton approuching me.
"Hey." I say again as he stops infront of me.
"I was thinking i could go to Homecoming with you..?" He says and pushed us his black glasses.
"Um-I-ah-"
"I understand if you don't.." He says and starts to walk away but i catch his arm and surprising it's buff.
"I would love to Ashton." I say and he smiles again.
"I promise i will look good. I won't embarass you Makenna." He says as he walks away. I turn to start off to my car and i see Jess with her jaw on the floor.
"No way." She says before i can say anything "You are not going with that loser!" She says and i nodd
"I know you don't like him Jess, but he's nice and I don't have a date!" I say and she rolls her eyes.
"If he does anything weird, we are ditching him." She says and walks past me. I groan and walk to my car.
-Saturday Night-
The dress i was wearing wasstrapless. The top part was silver jewels and the bottom was a peach color and it was silk. The dress went to mid thigh and the peach part flared out a bit. The dress. I decided on wearing peach flats so i couldn't look too fancy because it was just hoco.
At 7 there was a knock at the door and my mom answered it. I came down the stairs and i gasped at how good Ashton looked. He was wearing a white shirt with a black blazer over it. His brown hair was gelled up and pushed to the side. His glasses were gone and he looked super hot. I got to the bottom of the stairs and i still hadn't said anything.
"Let's take a picture!" My mom says. Ashton wraps his hand aroundmy waiste and smiles for the picture. I look at my mom and smile too.
After about 828448 pictures, we finally got to leave. We walked out the door and climbed into his pickup truck. I can't help but watch as he climbs in the car. When he catches me staring he just smiles
"I told you i would clean up." He says and starts the car. I don't stop stealing glances at him. I find myself thinking about kissing his jaw because it's so promonent.
We arrive back at the school and i climb out of the car. As we are walking to the entrance, Ashton intertwines our fingers, making me blush.
"You look really different." i say and he smiles "Not that i didn't like how you used to look because you-"
"You don't have to be nervous Kenna. It's just me Ashton. That kid who sits next to you in Science." he laughs and I calm down a bit.
When we walk through the doors, the music is loud and everyone is dancing and it smells really good. There is food in the corner and i decide we should probably find my friends.
"Wait until Jess sees you-" I say but I'm cut off by Jess calling my name. When me and Ashton turn around, her and all my friends, mouth's drop. I confidently walk over to them with Ashtons hand in mine. "Hey guys." I say casually, as if i don't relise how hot Ashton looks
Jess's eyes rack up and down Ashtons body and he uncomfortably shifts.
"Hi everyone, I'm Ashton." He says, waving. He squeezes my hand and i can already tell this is going to be a long night.
"You look really good Makenna." Jess says, turning her attention to me.
"Thanks, you look amazing too Jess. Where's Hudson?" I ask and look around for the tall football star. As if on cue, he walks up from the crowd. Right when he sees Ashton he laughs.
"You came to Homecoming with Ashton?" He says to me and with a smirk. He turns to Ashton who was a weird look on his face "How did you pull that off fag?"
"Hey, don't call him that." I say to Hudson, who i never really liked "Atleast he's hotter then you." i say and he snorts
"Yeah okay sweetheart. I could make you come faster then he could finish a math problem." Mine and Jess's jaws drop and i feel really uncomfortable
"Sure you can, Hudson" Ashton says and Hudson takes a step towards us, and Ashton holds his ground
"And how many girls have you fucked Ashton?" He says, getting in his face
"None because I'm not an asshole who uses girls." He spits in his face "Because one day everyone around you will find someone to love and you will still be all alone."
