The Nerd and The Frog

Midnight

The rest of the evening went along as normal as it possibly could, most people talking about what had just transpired amongst themselves, but decided to try and enjoy the homecoming dance while they had time to do so. The Homecoming Queen and King had been announced, it having been a pair of upperclassmen that everyone had voted for. After that, the rest of the evening was dancing and socializing, a couple of hours having gone by since the whole ordeal.

Alan stayed within his group, no one having suspected that it was referring to him in the recording. The one thing out of that whole situation that really shocked him was the appearance of Jonathan. When he had a moment after dancing with her, he pulled Nicolette off to grab a drink on the other side of the gymnasium.

"How the fuck were you able to get Jonathan here?" Alan asked her, still shocked by the entire scene.

"All I had to do was shoot him an email and tell him I had everything recorded." Nicolette answered after taking a drink. "He didn't believe me at first, and almost told me to fuck off. But, when I sent him a snippet of it, he immediately replied back, asking what I wanted to do." She finished, a smile on her face.

"You are amazing. I love you, you know that, right? I would totally have your babies." Alan said in awe, his eyes shining with adoration.

"I mean, I know I'm awesome." She said with a whip of her hair, tossing it over her shoulder before striking a confident pose. "Honestly, it was pretty easy to bribe the DJ, considering he's the older brother of one of my photography friends. But, I told you that I wouldn't let that asshole bother you anymore. All I needed was the word, and I could get it done. Granted, I wasn't expecting you to come up with this type of a plan to expose him during an all school dance. That's pure fucking genius."

"I don't know... there was just something about the last time I encountered him. When you told me what he had done after Jonathan had pretty much tortured me, it was like my mind just snapped into action." Alan admitted, rather surprised at his own thoughts. "I was... tired of being messed with and I wanted to end it."

"I think you solved that issue pretty well." Nicolette said, rubbing his back in a reassuring fashion.

"I couldn't have done it without you, Nikki. I owe you so much." Alan replied, a warm smile on his face.

"Of course, Allie. I mean, you could always take me out to dinner to repay me, but your trust and friendship is also just as good." Nicolette teased, only to see Alan side-eye her playfully. "Let's head back over. I wanna get a few more dances in before I head out with Manny."

"Where are you two going afterwards?" Alan asked, curious as he walked alongside her.

"He wants to go and grab a late dinner, as we didn't have a lot to eat before we got ready. You know how my family is." Nicolette proclaimed with a roll of her eyes.

"Yep. Your dad is overprotective as hell and your mom probably cried happy tears because 'her baby is growing up so fast!'" Alan joked, only to see Nicolette groan in annoyance.

"Also, I forgot to say it earlier, but you look fabulous in that suit. Where did you get it? It really looks good on you." Nicolette asked, looking Alan over as she did so.

"Oh... um... Daniel... let me wear it." Alan answered, bashfully. He looked over to see Nicolette with an amused grin on her face. "Shut up. Don't you say a damn thing."

"You gonna repay him with your body for letting him dress you up in such a sexy fashion?" Nicolette teased, only to see Alan blush madly at the thought. "Does he even know?"

Alan refused to answer the question, which was a major giveaway considering his face was getting darker in color.

"Wait. Waitwaitwait..." Nicolette stopped walking, grabbing his arm as she did so. "Daniel KNOWS that you like him?"
