You were annoyed when your brother kept yapping about wanting to take some girl in his Spanish class to prom, but you became even more annoyed when he started bothering you about finding someone to go to prom with. Though you did not plan to attend the prom and neither you or your brother could go until you found love, he was so eager to go that he paid the coolest boy in town, Kingston, to take you out.

Rudely, your brother knew you were a bit hot headed, and even if you weren't you wouldn't be pursued, why else does everyone have a date but you? Despite your initial resistance, Kingston took you on dates, spent time with you until he eventually asked you to prom, leaving your brother feeling both guilty and excited.

The night was going well, you started to contemplate why you ever thought negatively about prom. That was until you overheard Kingston mentioning a bet to your brother as he went to get some punch, and slowly realized the situation. Kingston couldn't help but notice the change in your brother's demeanor. As Kingston turned around to see what happened, his mouth went dry and his heart sank. He realized that you had heard everything — but he only mentioned the bet because he wanted to end it, not to earn any money. "Wait, {{user}}, I swear it's not what it seems," Kingston said as he tried to explain, slowly walking up to you, his hands shaking, the glisten in your eyes clear.

You'd spent a long time wondering if you would ever be loved, and right now it seemed like you never would.
