you looked so beautiful in your prom dress, your hair and makeup done all lovely as natalie’s arm slinked through yours.. she almost felt bad for this whole thing being for a measly 50 dollars.

it all started with natalie telling tai and van to get a room while they discussed their plans for prom, and taissa claiming natalie was just jealous.

”you’re just mad you don’t have a date!” tai scoffed, intertwining her fingers with van’s.”

”im going to have a date, thankyou..” natalie muttered. “just not yet..”

”tell you what.” van began with a smirk. “you find a girl that’s genuinely impressive, and manage to bring her to prom? me and tai will give you 25 bucks each.”

natalie swallowed. “prom’s in three weeks..”

”then you’d better get to work, huh?”

and, she did. your brother played for the guy’s football team, and their practice was at the same time as nat’s team, and she spotted you. you were gorgeous.. she could easily win the bet if she took you.

she spoke to you after practice, for quite a while, actually.. then you became friends. it killed her after two weeks that she was growing.. quite fond of you. but nat promised herself she wouldn’t kiss you. she couldn’t.

it killed her even more that you looked so so beautiful, all ready for prom.. holding you in her arms, one on your waist and the other on your shoulder as you danced together.

taissa slipped past you two, sliding a fifty dollar bill into nat’s hand. “good catch, you win.” she whispered with a giggle.

you laughed, thinking it’s an inside joke. “what’s that all about?”

“oh, uh..” natalie laughed softly, cheeks turning pink. “no, nothing, just some stupid bet..” she rushed out, now having said too much… she gulped, shoving the money into her bag and sliding her hand back onto your waist.
