Prom Dress

"Dream, c'mon! Don't you wanna dance or something?"

"No thanks, Sap- I'll catch up in a second, alright?"

"Alright man, whatever you say-"

I sighed as I watched Nick walk away into the crowd to go dance, being left alone on a folding chair with nothing but a solo cut of mediocre fruit punch and a half-eaten candy bar someone left on the floor to keep me company.

I regretted being here- I wasn't gonna come after George rejected my proposal, but Nick insisted it would be just as cool to hang out as bros. Instead, I'm watching the love of my life get crowned prom king with some chick he barely knows as his date.

But whatever, it's fine. It's not like I wanted to be up there with him. It's not like I wanted to be with him at all. It's fine.

That was my thoughts until that god awful song came on. Of course the prom queen would choose her own song to dance to. He hardly knew the girl but he couldn't say he was surprised in the slightest. I felt my eyes George, as they had been all night, whereas George hadn't given me a single fucking glance of recognition tonight.

I'm nearing the end of my fourth year. I feel like I've been lacking, crying too many tears.

I couldn't help but give a small chuckle at that- it was more of a sad chuckle than a funny one, but that was alright. It was just ironic that here, the first time I listened to the lyrics of the song George's date wrote... it was almost relatable. I sighed and took a sip of my shitty fruit punch, finally forcing my eyes away from George and at the ceiling as I felt myself zone out to the lyrics.

Everyone seemed to say it was so great- But did I miss out, was it a huge mistake?

Everyone around me was having a great time- most of my friends had been excitedly talking about their prom dates for weeks up until tonight. And I mean, I was happy for them!

Wilbur was so happy when he talked about taking Niki to prom, I couldn't help but smile when he talked about her. Same when Skeppy talked about Bad, even if he still couldn't tell if those two were dating or not.

Hell, the same could be extended to George as he talked about Maia- I couldn't help but smile. He just sounded so happy to go with her, even if it still hurt me a little every time he brought it up.

I can't help the fact I like to be alone.
It might sound kinda sad, but that's just what I seem to know.

I truly didn't plan on being here. I planned on spending the night like I do every other- playing Minecraft alone in the dark in my room. Yeah that sounded sad, but it really wasn't! He fully understood that, but Sapnap didn't seem to. If he did, he probably wouldn't have dragged him to this stupid dance.

I tend to handle things usually by myself. And I can't ever seem to try and ask for help...

Maybe if I just told Nick I didn't want to see George and Maia, he wouldn't have made me come here. Maybe if I had just told everyone that George rejected my sorry ass a month ago in favor of going with Maia, my whole friend group wouldn't have pressured me into showing up here.

I'm sitting here, crying in my prom dress. I'd be the prom queen if crying was a contest.

I hadn't realized it when I was thinking, but as I felt water run down my face I realized I was tearing up. Going to quickly wipe the tears off my cheek, I realized how shaky my hands were.

I looked around from where I was for any of my friends- Nick, Eret, Fundy, or really any of his friends that had swore they'd stay a big group. Funny how that works out, huh?
