Chapter Thirty-Five
"Here you go," Alex said, plopping a pile of papers down onto my desk.
"What's that?" I questioned, taking a look at the paper on top.
"All your assignments that you made up," he explained.
"Really?" I asked, picking them up excitedly.
"Yes, really. And I'm glad to say that you aced them all."
"Thank you," I smiled.
"Thank yourself," he said, before heading back to his desk.
"Good job," Mallory congratulated me.
"Thanks."
"Guess what I heard."
"What?"
"Wes Michaels is taking you to prom."
I almost laughed out loud. "As in Wes the quarterback? Are you serious?"
At that exact moment Wes chose to wink and smirk at me.
"Okay," I said. "I am going to gag."
"Okay, okay. Well if that's not true...who are you taking to prom?"
"I don't know. I mean no one's asked me yet. It's still, what...six weeks away?"
"Well Landon did already ask you."
"And I did already turn him down."
"It's not like you can't reclaim the offer."
The bell rang and we gathered up our stuff.
"But I - "
There was a tap on my shoulder, interrupting me.
"Yes?" I asked, as I turned around.
It was Wes. Speak of the devil.
"What do you want?" I sighed.
"I was just wondering," he trailed off.
"You were just wondering what?" I asked, annoyed.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to go to prom with me?"
"No, thank you. Have a nice day."
I turned around and tried to continue my conversation with Mallory.
"Like I was saying, I - "
"I can't believe that!" Mallory exclaimed as we walked through the hallway.
"What?"
"You just turned him down like he was nothing!"
"Well he is. And doesn't he have a girlfriend?"
"Oh yeah, that's right..."
"Anyway, I'm not sure if I'm going to prom."
"What?! Why?"
"Because - "
"You have to go! It's your senior year! It's all for us."
"Not a big deal, really. Or at least not to me. Who are you taking to prom?"
She frowned. "Well, no one's asked me yet either. In your case, it's probably just intimidation. In my case, it's probably just because no one wants to go with me."
