“What the hell, Cappelli?” I shout, making others around us take notice.
“What?”
“I thought you were coming with Isabel?”
“No, I told you she was an option,” he says with a crooked smile.
“And did she know she was just an option?”
“I don’t know.” He shrugs me off. “Honestly, I just didn’t want to get involved in your drama bullshit.”
“Did you even tell her you were coming with someone else?”
He stares at me, cocking his head to the side, a douchebag grin sliding across his mouth. “Oops.”
I lunge at him, but before I can do anything, Carter grabs me and pulls me back. Franco and Jen are catching up behind us, both of them looking on, unsure what’s happening.
“No, bro.” Carter ushers me away. “Just let it go.”
Jeremy and Oscar are laughing at something, but I don’t hear what they say, my pulse bouncing in my ears.
“Shit, what did I do?” I groan, clenching my fists.
“You didn’t do anything.”
“Yeah, I did. Damn it!”
“What are you talking about?”
“I could’ve come with her to prom, but instead I let that asshole ask her. And now she’s probably waiting for him.”
“Dude, it’s gonna be okay.”
“No, wait. I can fix this.”
“Matt, you need to calm down.”
I start nodding, the idea forming in my head. “I can fix this. I gotta go.”
“What? Where? Matt, we don’t have a car here.”
“That’s right. Shit!” I look around, trying to think. “I can Uber it. I’ll be back.”
“All right.” Carter let’s out a disbelieving chuckle. “Go get her.”
I rush towards the exit, only to be halted by Yvette.
“Matt, what are you doing?”
“I gotta go.”
“Go? Go where?”
“I’ll be back.” I skirt around her, pulling out my phone. Before I can open the Uber app, she grabs my hand.
“Matt, they’re announcing the king and queen in an hour. You have to be here.”
“I don’t care about that.”
“Well, I do!” she yells. “You better get your ass back here.”
“Whatever.” I yank my arm from hers and run out the doors.
