The Boy Next Door 2 | LaMelo Ball

I stare at Caleb.

"Who's she?" I asked.

"This is my friend Kim. She didn't have a date so I decided to bring her along with us." Caleb says.

I look at the Kim girl.

I look at Caleb angrily.

"I know damn we-"

Caleb cuts me off. "I'm playing, she's my date though."

You think that makes this situation better.

"I almost socked the shit outta you right now!" I think out loud.

"Don't worry, I've got you another guy to go with." Caleb smiles.

"Who?" I asked.

"He's a really good friend of mine. I met him last year, he's cute, no homo!" He and Kim laugh.

"He's gonna meet us there though, so whenever you're ready."

I say goodbye to my parents and we make our way to the chosen prom destination.

Caleb walks in with the Kim girl and I don't want to walk in alone.

My friends are already inside with their dates.

I stand outside of the door and I see Zuri.

She has on a pretty red sparkly dress and a handsome young man attached to her arm.

She glances at me and says "I wish you the best of luck tonight!"

I smile back.

"Same to you!"

I can't walk in without a date.

I don't wanna take my prom picture alone.

I look down and I pace back and fourth.

Caleb walks out and he smiles at me.

I narrow my eyes at him.

"I'm mad at you!" I smack his arm softly.

"Hey, it's not my fault my friend is fashionably late!"

I roll my eyes.

"You were supposed to be here with me and now your with that Kim girl-"

"She's with her friends, I came out here to take a picture with you so you wouldn't be alone in your prom photo!"

"Gee thanks," I say sarcastically.

I let out a huff before walking to the entrance with Caleb.

We take a picture together and then we walk inside.

I sit down at a table and I talk to my friends.

They all take out their phones and start to record me.

"We've gotta get the future prom queen on video!" Giselle winks.

I blow a kiss to the camera.

I feel someone come up behind me and wrap their arms around me.

They kiss my neck and cheek.

My eyes widen.

"Who is this? Who is this?" I asked repeatedly trying to get out of their grip.

Once I finally do I jump out of the chair.

I turn around ready to curse the person out, but then I see LaMelo standing there in a cute little tux with his arms out.

"Oh my God!" I say.

My hands fly over my mouth and I jump into LaMelo's arms.

He holds me for a few seconds before I jump down.

We hug and he begins to cry causing me to cry.

"I'm sorry for everything," he sniffles.

"I'm sorry too!" I say squeezing him harder.

People around us begin to awe.

"Didn't you have a game today?" I asked him.

"Fuck the game, I'm here for my baby." He kisses my cheek.

"Your dad's gonna be furious!" I giggle.

We keep on hugging and we finally pull away.

"I'll deal with my pops later," he grabs my hand interlocking our fingers.

"For now," he looks into my eyes. "We've got pictures to take!"

He kisses my nose causing me to giggle.

LaMelo and I walk to the photo place.
