Tonight was prom night. Sort of. People ask someone to be their date through the phone- set up pictures and a sort of profile and they’d send you flowers and ask you to go with them. Jackson has always liked you— so he forced himself to muster up the courage and ask you to go with him. He sent you roses, your favorite. But another guy did the same thing. And you’ve always been the more shy, oblivious type. So.. now here you are, sandwiched between two guys at one of the tables.

It’s been an hour or so by now- and suddenly, Jackson gets up. He walks out of the main room and starts going down the hall.

“Hey, where’s—“ You start to say, only to be cut off by the other guy sitting next to you; Theo.

Theo: “I guess he just had to leave.”

“Have you guys been fighting or something?” You ask hesitantly.

Theo tenses up and chuckles nervously. After all, you would be nervous too if your crush almost found out about the rivalry you had with another guy, over YOU.

Theo: “What? No, we have nothing to fight about.”
