I was wearing tight black dress with buttons all the way down. I picked up a light blue baggy zip up hoodie then waited outside for Brad.
"Hey!" I called walking over to him.
"Alright!" He smiled. As I got closer I noticed he had a purple nose and a black eye. "You okay?" I frowned.
"Yeahh don't worry about it" he sighed.☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
We rented a little boat to row around the lake. "Thanks for that earlier" he smirked and I felt my cheeks burning.
"Yeah well that was pretty funny, what you did" I smiled.
"I just wanted to say sorry for...the party" he shrugged.
"Its fine, I know Finns a dick" I smiled.
"You've got nice tits" he grinned.
"Urm thanks" I mumbled and he kissed my cheek. "C'mon" he started rowing back to the shore.
We went to the cafe and had some really nice food. "So who beat you up?" I frowned and he sighed.
"Soph please don't"
"Don't what?"
"Leave it! It's none of your business" he exclaimed then he looked really scared. "Come on" he pulled me up and pushed me behind the toilets.
"What the fu..." he put his hand over my mouth. "Shut up"
"What's wrong!?" I frowned looking round the corner of the wall. There was a group of bikers they were very scary looking. "What have you done!" I looked at him. "That's my dad" he sighed and looked up. "And?" I frowned. "My real dad" he groaned.☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
"Bradley?!" His dad shouted As we ran out from behind the toilets. "Shit, come on!" Brad shouted and dragged me off. We ran down a back alley. And he stopped at a brick wall. "I'll give you a leg up. C'mon" he breathed and crouched in front of the wall. "What? I've never done that!" I exclaimed and he shook his head. "Soph just trust me! Behind that wall is your street" he sighed and threw me over the wall.☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
"I'm sorry" brad sighed as we sat on my front porch. "Its fine" I sighed and he pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. "Why do you like me brad?" I frowned and he chuckled.
"Well you're, intelligent, sexy, confident" he smirked and I giggled.
"Go to prom with me" he looked me in the eyes. "No" I stated and he rolled his eyes "No one will expect you to go" he smiled. "What I should go to please everyone, it's just a fucking popularity parade" I exclaimed and went inside my house.

"What do you think?" Grace smiled twirling around in her prom dress. "Beautiful" I smiled.
"Awh Soph please just get a dress just in case" she whined pouting.
"I don't have the money Grace" I sighed. "I'll buy it" Kieran smiled walking up the steps. "Um why would you do that?!" I spat out.
"Well I'm taking Grace so I'd feel bad if you didn't come too" he smiled.
"Yeah whatever" I sighed.
"Try this" Grace shoved a dress into my arms. It was a long light blue silk dress with a really deep v neckline and a huge slit in it. "Wow" Kieran and grace said at the same time. I looked down the steps into the shop and I could see Brad and Molly. Of course she was buying a dress with him. They were going out now.
"Do you want that one?" Kieran smiled and I sighed. "Sure. But I can't promise I'll be there" I rolled my eyes and went back into the changing room.FOUR WEEKS LATER
I was going to the prom. As much as I didn't want to, Grace persuaded me.
"Beautiful!" Grace exclaimed as I walked up the school steps. "You two look amazing" I smiled at her and Kieran. "Thanks" he smirked at me.Of course Molly had to make an entrance. She was late, her and Brad came in and waltzed down the grand steps, she was wearing an amazing ball gown it was pink and sparkly.
But brad looked so fit, I just wanted to kiss him. Everyone was looking at them of course, I just rolled my eyes and went and got something to drink.
"Hey" Finn said behind me.
"Hey" I sighed.
"You look beautiful" he smiled, it wasn't a genuine smiled though, his eyes didn't crease. "Thanks" I pursed my lips and he smirked. "Dance with me?"
"No thanks" I glanced over at brad twirling Molly around. "Just one dance then I won't bother you for the rest of the night" he held out his hand.
"Whatever" I sighed still watching brad and Molly. "He's been really mean to you" Finn sighed but he was kind of smiling. "Mhm" I rolled my eyes as he put one hand on my waist.☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
"Come back to mine after this" Finn yelled over the music. "No...I...im good" I smiled and he seemed to change. "What the fuck is wrong with you?!" He shoved me away then walked over to brad. "I payed you to take her out not to fucking dump her" he shouted and I frowned.
"I'm not doing that anymore" brad whisper shouted. "You were fucking payed?!" I faltered. They both looked at me brad looked sad and Finn looked happy.
The whole year was looking. Everyone knew that I was the dumb bitch that got played. "So was he involved too?" I frowned pointing to Kieran and grace. "He was the one that came up with it" Finn smiled.
Grace looked at Kieran and shook her head then kicked him in the balls. "Soph wait" brad tried to grab my arm but I just walked off, sobbing.
"Soph!" He yelled following me.
"So were you ever gonna tell me!?" I shouted walking out the main doors.
"Yes, I wanted to but...But"
"You can't even think of an excuse, you were all just laughing at me behind my back" I cried and ran off.
I stopped and kicked the heels off. I ran home and cried in my bed.
