Pretender (Posie)

Chapter 45

(Lizzie's POV)

"Now the time you've all been waiting for the announcement of your Queen and King, for your Homecoming Queen...Lizzie Saltzman and for your Homecoming King Rafael Waithe "

"What!?"

Rafael makes his way up next to me, he looks sad and a bit surprised. He wasn't even running for the court. I can't believe this happened like how in the fucking world could Raf win.

"I demand a fucking, excuse my language, recount!" I yelled, "Cause there is no fucking way he could've won! Who counted the votes?!"

"Oh, that would be Alyssa Chang."

"You've got to be kidding me..." I said to myself, "Of course Alyssa had something to do with this."

"Why does this concern you so much? You won!"

"There's just no way in hell that Raf is king because he wasn't even running!"

"Lizzie!" Hope loudly said, "It's alright..."

"No, it isn't! Something is wrong here. Raf couldn't have won! How many of you voted for Raf?" I asked the crowd in front of me only 4 or 5 people raised their hand. "See it's not logical!"

"She's right," Alyssa spoke up, "Basically everyone voted for Lizzie and Hope to win, as much as I don't want the to, I'm not going to lie and say they didn't."

"Oh, I just thought since they are the most popular couple in the school that they won but let's actually check what's in the envelope."

"You didn't even check the envelope?!" I yelled slightly and Hope quickly made eye contact with me which helped to calm me down a little.

"No, I didn't think I had to because I thought I already knew." We couldn't have been the most popular couple because we broke up the first week.

"Lizzie and I broke up!" Raf exclaimed. The whole school gasped even though they already knew this.

"Oh, I'm sorry," they gave him a pat on the back, "Well now for your official king and queen, for queen, Lizzie Saltzman, at least one of them stayed the same. And for your king Hope Mikealson? Wow that's a first," they muttered the last part under their breath but I could hear. Hope made her way up next to me. As the crown was placed on my head I realized everything was perfect. I had the love of my life on my right, my dad was finally back to normal and my sister finally seemed happy and as much as I hate to admit it it's because of Penelope. "Now time for our king and queen or queens to have their first dance."

I took a deep breath before going to the center dance floor. "Nervous?" I asked Hope before grabbing her hand.

"Very, I'm not used to this type of stuff, we all know this is your thing. I was also terrified when Raf got called up." The music started playing when she finished the sentence.

"Why?" I asked as I wrapped my arms around her neck even though she's shorter than me, much shorter.

"Says the one who just demanded a recount..." she chuckled,  "But if we're being completely honest I was worried that you would see how much better you deserve and go back to him. Less than a month ago you were madly in love with him."

"Hope, I love you more than I have ever loved anyone and no one can ever compare to you because you are perfect. You can literally have anyone you want and you chose me. You chose me and I will never ever stop choosing you."

"Of course I chose you. I've been in love with you since middle school maybe even sooner. It would kill me if I have to see you with someone else again, you went through so many people but you never realized that the person who wanted you the most was right next to you the whole time and when you finally did, I promised I would never let you go and I'm never going to." I leaned down and kissed her.

"I love you so much, Hope."

(With Penelope and Josie)

"That was exciting..." Penelope smirked at Josie, "Definitely the most fun I've had at a dance."

"Yeah same," Josie stated looking back at Penelope, "I'm just really happy that hashtag team Hizzie won."

"Hashtag team Hizzie?" Penelope questioned laughing a little saying it outloud.

"Yeah, hashtag team Hizzie, have you not seen any of the posters?" Josie asked smiling at her girlfriend.

"Of course I have but where did you come up with that?" Penelope asked.

"It's their ship name... Hizzie. Kinda like ours is Posie," she said.

"Posie? Where did you come up with that?" She asked.

"I think MG said it first. It kinda just stuck I guess." She states taking Penelope's hand smiling at her.

(Back with Lizzie and Hope)

The last hour went by fast. The whole night seemed to flash by because the next thing I knew I was pushed against the wall and Hope was attacking my lips with her own. She lifted me up and moved me to the bed keeping our lips connected. She quickly got rid of her dress and I got rid of mine leaving us in our underwear. She bit on my bottom lip. I let her in allowing her  tongue to explore my mouth. We only separated for a breath before continuing again.  This was it we were finally doing it. "Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked looking me in the eyes.

"I've never been more sure of something in my entire life."
