Yep, that's right one of the three guys - Spencer.
But I guess it doesn't really matter, because me, being the genius I am ( please note the sarcasm) told him we could just go as friends, by the way, that is something no girl would have done. I mean who would say that to the tall dark haired, green eyed angel asking you to prom.
The frown on his face when I said ' just friends' made me want to kill my self. Ugh. But that's me ladies and gentlemen. Ava Hannighan - The official dumbass.
But Spencer just said that he was just glad I said yes. Which made me mentally strangle myself.
" Someone's got a crush on you " taunted Stacy when I told her the whole incident " no way you're exaggerating " there is no way she was right…right?.
But I so badly wanted Seth to be my date. He would have been if I hadn't agreed to Spencer, but it would have been rude to turn down Spencer after I'd already agreed to him.
A week before prom Seth had stopped me before I could exit the chemistry lab. " so . . . you got a date to prom yet ?" He asked, looking nervous and hopeful at the same time. Why was he asking? Was he going to ask me to be his date? Or was I getting ahead of myself?
I must have taken too long to answer because he continued "'cause I don't ha-"
"oh yea spencer asked me!" I said and His face fell for a second but he hid his disappointment with a swoon worthy smile.Only then did it occur to me that maybe he meant to ask me to be his prom date. I mentally smack my head.
"Cool, I was just curious," Seth winked as he walked away, that handsome smile still on his face.
Later I confided in Stacy.
" Wait " she said after I had finished my rant " do you have a crush on Seth ?" She asked, raising one eyebrow. "Is it that obvious?" I asked, covering my face with my palms and groaning "The way you complain about saying yes to Spencer - who is way hotter than Seth by the way" she scrunched her nose in disgust "kinda does make it obvious " she said grinning.
All I could do was peek out at her with one eye from behind my fingers and say "Seth is definitely way hotter"
"Anyways" Satcy continued as if I hadn't spoken at all "didn't Seth have a crush on Michelle or something, I mean, they were dating during the first semester right". Ugh- right, Michelle. The most popular annoying w(b)itch in school who has been after Seth ever since he set foot in school. But good thing Seth broke up with her. But the question was Seth over her.
I asked Stacy as much. "I don't know," she shrugged.
I could see what Stacy was trying to do - subtly save me from possible heart break. But I tuck that information away to think about later.
A bone chilling howl from the woods surrounding Stacy's house brings me back to the present.
The bedroom door bursts open to reveal an over excited Stacy. " The guys are here !!" She squeaks, jumping up and down. " They're here already?" I ask, catching her contagious excitement.
And as if in answer to my question the doorbell buzzes. Stacy and I are wide eyed and grinning as we bounce up and down like the crazy people we are.
"C'mon, my parents are at Seth's house so we got to open the door ourselves" says Stacy grabbing my hand and dragging me out of her bedroom.
Our heels click on Stacy's wooden floor as we head down the stairs and to the door. Stacy pauses before opening the door to give me a goofy grin which I return. Excitement passes through us like electricity as Stacy opens the door.
Derek and Spencer stand there looking as handsome as fairy tale princes in their tuxes. And for a moment I wonder what it would be like if Seth stood there instead of Spencer. But I push the thought away before smiling at Spencer.
He grins back and hands me a single red rose. "You look really pretty Ava" he says with sparkly eyes a grin on his face. "thanks" I say, returning the grin while blushing furiously "you look 'pretty' too" I blurt out and he chuckles, making me blush harder.
The guys are gentlemen, opening the limo door for us and stuff. When I'm about to get in I see a sleek black car drive past us. My mind goes hyper when I see Seth in the driver's seat.
As soon as I'm in and the boys shut the door, moving to the other side of the car to get in themselves, I ask Stacey, trying to sound as casual as possible "Seth's got a date to prom ?". She nods slowly as if afraid of my reaction. "with whom ?" I ask as. Somehow I feel I'm not going to like what I hear. Stacy answers just as the boys reach the door "Michelle".
Though I keep my face calm and neutral my heart sinks.
