The Difference Between Us

{54} Prom; Scarlet's nightmare.

T H I R D   P E R S O N

Scarlet was talked into going for therapy sessions which she thankfully did and was able to get some hours of sleep each day with Logan's help. She had feared going to the shrink but found out that the shrink wasn’t half bad…at least not as bad as the collaboration of four women against a certain person, God bless the poor soul.

The beasts were at the Foodhouse to hang out like usual and were seated at a table for ten. They were discussing their plans for the upcoming prom and graduation ceremony. “You know I said I am hosting a beach party for my birthday?” Phyllis asked and received several nods. “Well I decided to move it up and go camping instead, which will be much more fun!” She merrily announced.

“Always the party girl, eh Phyllis?” Ayo asked sarcastically to which the girl threw a fry at him as a reply.

“Ignoring Ayo, we can invite Nata and Sean!”

“Welp! It’s a cool idea and as long as my mum allows, I’m in.” Jordan announced and everybody also sounded their approvals.

“Okay that issue is cleared which brings us to a very crucial matter, what to pack and even more importantly, what to wear for prom.” Sharon grimly announced. At her statement, the boys knew it would involve shopping and shopping would involve some real slave driving so they developed immediate tactics to avoid the conversation.

“Let’s split into groups!” Don suggested first probably because his girlfriend was the lord of all slave drivers. “The boys would go their ways and the girls would go their ways!”

“Yeah, nice idea!” Jordan agreed while readying himself to flee at any moment.

“I second that!” Ayo was already on his feet and paying for his food.

“Hold it! Why the hell should we split up?” Crystal asked as she frowned and crossed her arms.

“Huh…”

*Speechlessness*

“Isn’t it bad luck if a groom sees a bride’s clothes before the wedding?” And that was Don’s spark of ‘genius’.

A loud slap sound echoes in the back ground and everybody turns to see Bryan squirming in pain because he face palmed his own self too hard.

The girls become sudden idiots and fall for Don’s equally idiotic excuse anyway.

“You’re right! I want to keep my dress hidden from Ayo until the last moment.” Crystal was the first to fall but it was kind of expected.

“You’re so correct! Hurry on boys, it’s a girls day out from here on.” Sharon shooed the boys away who gladly left the restaurant.

“Hold it!” April suddenly shouted causing the boys to freeze and the other occupants of the restaurants to look at them strangely. “Scarlet, where are you going?” The chubby one deadpanned.

Scarlet cursed within herself and took to her heels, there was no way she would wear a dress and God forbid make up. The boys took the cue and also scattered like chickens, they didn’t want to go shopping for tuxedos and bow ties.

Currently Scarlet was stuck in a bathroom stall because honestly, that was the only safe place in the world. The girls had let in on Asa about their plans to make Scarlet wear a dress on prom night and the nanny was so into the plan so her house was ruled out. When she thought she could find a strong tower in Logan's house, she met Crystal there. In school, the girls made sure to gang up on her to get her to go shopping for a dress which led to her current position status.
