* the next week*

Alison's POV

'' Get your tickets for your Fairytale Prom! Saturday 14th May! The only day of high school you'll want to remember but won't '' I yell from behind the booth

'' Hi there, I'd like to buy two tickets'' Elliot smiles to me

'' Two tickets? Who's the lucky girl?'' I mock him handing him two tickets '' That's 100$''

'' Just a friend '' he answers handing me the money

'' Oh come on they're never just a friend...'' I smirk but inside I feel uneasy, I feel a sudden pang of... of something in my chest... What the fuck is happening?

'' No, that's true but I think that's what she wants, so that's what I'll take''

So he likes this girl. Ok good for him. I'm happy for him. So he doesn't have a supposed crush on me anymore, that's a good thing right?

Yeah, of course it is. It's great! It's good he's finally feeling comfortable here and finding himself a girl!

'' Well I'm sure she'll be very happy to go with you'' I smile but it feels fake and I don't like that, not one bit

'' Well, I'm just helping a friend out so I hope she appreciates the gesture... Anyways I'll catch you at lunch'' he waves as he walks away

'' Yeah bye...'' I wave back


*lunchtime*

'' Hey guys!'' I greet everyone I sit at my usual spot between Elliot and Noel

'' Hey!'' the answer

'' So Elliot have you asked your 'friend' yet? '' I make the quote marks gesture

'' Actually... No, I was just about to'' he puts hand in his pocket and the whole table goes quiet as he holds the tickets out in front of him and stares me right in the eyes '' Alison, will you do me the honour of going to prom with me'' I gasp a little and feel my heart flutter a little... no this can't be happening, no, no no '' as a friend?'' he finishes with a grin.

Somehow that last part stung a little but it didn't stop me from nodding '' Of course you idiot!''

'' Great so now everyone has a date!'' Hanna claps her hands

'' Noel doesn't '' I point out

'' Actually he does!'' Aria announces

'' I thought you were going with Jason?'' I ask suspiciously

'' She is...'' Noel says in a 'duh' tone whilst throwing me a warning glance '' I'm um going um with Cece'' he hesitates

'' WHAT??? '' I shriek

'' Yeah... Well her and I have been getting along lately and I thought why not...''

'' So now you're dating my sister? You know who used to be a guy?''

'' I'm not dating her. We're just friends. Plus, I don't care. So what she was a guy, she's a girl now and that's all that counts''

'' They're never really just friends though...'' Elliot whispers to me and I feel a slight shiver go down my spine and I feel myself blush. I forgot I said that, shit.

'' Well I'm proud of you for saying that Noel... Why haven't you told me you and Cece were getting close?'' I smirk suggestively

'' I thought you had enough drama didn't want to add any'' he says before leaning and saying something low enough for only me to hear '' Plus, you had a little distraction of you're own you seemed focused on''
