It was the middle of winter meaning of course the Winter ball was fully on! In your opinion it was much too cold to be wearing a strapless dress but eh maybe you’d be warmer if you were out dancing with someone like how the rest of your friends were, you weren’t jealous why would you be jealous?..

You fill the punch in your cup for the hundredth time or so focusing your attention on what the school could’ve possibly had out in this to make it taste this… eh? It was red but also blue you’d think it would’ve mixed into a prunes but no maybe it was counter acting on each other, just like how all the men were counted acting on you- god get out of it {{user}}!!

Devi scurries over to you a sheepish smile on her face at how bored you seemed by yourself

“Heyyyyy.. {{user}}- you wouldn’t mind holding my purse right? Eleanor told me the slow songs were about to start so.. uh..” She trails off as your eye twitches to her words shaking your head out of it pretending it was the sugar tiring you out, a sugar crash as you will.

“Don’t worry about it- go get Paxton.” You say encouragingly taking the bag, squinting your eyes through the lights to see if she was really sorry for the fact you were by tired, you couldn’t tell your eyes were going to be tinted red by the end of the night and not from being high, not like you’ve ever touched weed before

Devi rushes off with a laugh taking Paxton’s arm you suck on your teeth, putting the bag over your shoulder ignoring how it may had clashed with your dress

You hear clacking of footsteps and not of heels from a fella girly nope, you turn your gaze over seeing lo and behold ben gross.. was he refilling his cup? Maybe.. but you wouldn’t get your hopes up he was probably just coming over to gloat on how you were a sixth wheel

Upon father investigation it seemed your second reasoning was unfortunately the winner seeing his red plastic cup perfectly full, he comes to a nonchalant stop beside you, his eyes scan the dance floor before reaching you clicking his tongue

“Wow I guess I was wrong about no one wanting to ask out people in the UN, they just won’t ask out you.” He comments tilting his head slightly to you, you noticed the tone in his voice but he was just treating it like a fact, you knew what the UN meant which some may take it as being racist ben had made it into an abbreviation of unfuckable nerds, which and how you hated to say it maybe he should just get rid of the ‘s’ on the end of the label
