“What?” I glare at him. “Mr. Garrison didn’t say anything about that this morning.”
“Yvette’s calling it.”
I’m about to ask why when I suddenly remember. “Crap,” I groan out. “Okay, I’ll be right there.”
Oscar turns around but not before checking out Jen. She notices, gives him an eye roll, and flips him off when he leaves.
“That dude is such a sleaze. I heard he’s hooked up with half the girls in color guard.”
Emma wrinkled her nose. “Gross.”
“Yeah, he’s on McCormick’s level,” I say, grabbing my bag. “I guess I gotta go.”
“I don’t understand.” Carter looks at me. “Why are you listening to Yvette? She’s the VP; you’re the Prez.”
“Yeah, but I need to be there for this. If for nothing else, to rein in their stupid ideas.”
“What’s going on?” Emma asks.
“Oh my God!” Jen says, surprised. “Are you guys really doing that right now? The voting?”
“Nah.” I curl my lip. “They’re just gonna start taking names for candidates.”
Carter rolls his eyes, shaking his head, while Emma looks at us confused. “What candidates?”
I really don’t feel like being the ass again and look over at Carter for a little help.
“Emma, you know how we vote on the Prom Court every year?” She nods. “And there’s always a girl and a guy that isn’t very popular, but they always get voted on to the court? Well …” he trails off, waving to me. Carter explaining it still makes me feel like a douchebag.
“That’s so mean.” Emma scowls. “You guys decide who’ll be the joke vote?”
I put up my hands in defense. “Hey, I didn’t start the tradition. It was going on long before we were in school. I gotta go.”
I bump fists with Carter and give one final look across the quad. Izzy’s head shoots up, and it looks like she’s looking my direction, but as soon as I see it, she looks back down.
