-idk whether to end it off with a sad ending or a happy one. pls comment
I really hate to say this, but I'm actually excited for the debutante now.
something about the debutante has got me in a good mood and I don't know what it is. its probably the fact that I get to see joey in a tux, or maybe its how excited I am to wear that dress. whatever it is, I don't want that feeling to go away
"just a few more weeks until school starts, you know" Alex informed as we walked on the sidewalk, on our way to my house. its weird not walking back to the apartment, but a promise is a promise. I promised my mum that I will live with her once again all because of Marie and her mischiefs. this is not fair.
we took a bus to our old town to where my house was before I moved out. now we're walking home from the bus stop. our parents are helping decorate the debutante for tomorrow and Alex forgot his licence at home.
"dont remind me" I groaned, throwing my head back
"maybe this school is not too bad. anything would be better than our old school" he shrugged, stuffing his hands in his pockets
"yeah..." I trailed off. "have you made any friends?" I asked him, realising that I haven't seen him hang out with anyone recently
"the coincidence is that Ethan Reynolds is attending mount janes high now that he got expelled" thats when my eyes widen. oh no.
Ethan Reynolds. note my sarcasm when I say he's a charmer. Ethan is Alex's best friend. the one that dared Alex to kiss me. after he got expelled from our old school for his pranks, I thought he'd be long gone and out of my life but turns out i'm going to be stuck with him again
he's the boy that has put my life in misery and embarrassment. I thought Alex wasn't friends with him anymore, but I guess he has no choice.
Ethan however still lives in our old town since his family cant be bothered moving into a completely different town. he also got sent to boarding school not too long ago
you know that kid in your school tat breaks all the rules and pulls pranks on teachers? yeah. thats the kind guy Ethan is
speaking of the douche himself...
"well well well. if it isn't the famous Alex bets" a familiar voiced cooed which made us snap our heads in that direction . I forgot he lived in my neighbourhood. one of the reasons why I needed to move out
I saw Alex suck a sharp breath in once Ethan came walking towards us. "hey..." Ethan smirked with amusement in his voice. he finally acknowledged my existence and then low whistled, scanning me from head to toe. "goodness...I see you two are still friends"
"you look different" Ethan stated, smiling at me

"is that a good thing?" I questioned.i have to admit, I did look a bit different from when I last saw him.back then I was too lazy to style my hair and dress nice. I actually try to look decent now a days.
"a very good thing. I almost didn't recognise you. but you still smell like mangos" creep
"and you still smell like di-
"what brings you here, Reynolds?" Alex sighed, cutting me off.
"I live here" Ethan replied with a 'duh' tone. "you wouldn't know that since you were too goodie to hang out with me" he spat
Alex nodded. "what can I say? you're a bad influence"
"and you're nothing but a heartbreaker" Ethan seethed, "isn't he, rose?"
"it was your fault!" I roared, feeling courage run through my veins. "you and your stupids dares!"
Ethan throw his hands up in the air in surrender. "it was either kiss connie or you. and that frog chose you. I warned him about your little crush that everyone knew about. he didn't seem to care" he shrugged
Alex's jaw clenched. "I did! why in the world did I tie her shoelaces for her?"
"right" Ethan muttered. "I forgot you had a crush on her. that why you chose her"
Alex glanced at me with a mixer of guilt and terror in his eyes as I gulped.
my stomach tighten
...
joeys pov
"she's going to love you in that tux, jo!" my mum squealed and kiss my cheek
"thanks mum" I smiled. "it was 200 dollars but I think it's worth it. even if she's not going with me. she's worth it" its true. my rosie is worth everything, even if she doesn't know it yet. I also need to look better than Alex. I need to show him that she chose the right guy to date.
so who cares if they'd have to dance together. I got to live with her and I feel like ive won the lottery knowing that she's mine.
I shouldn't be jealous of Alex what so ever. he's not threat anyways...
okay, thats a lie
gosh darnit I need her to stay away from that douche!
