“I’m more than okay. I promise.”
––––––––
A FEW WEEKS LATER,I stood on my doorstep and kissed Bryan Landon, wishing like hell we’d just ended this night after the dance. It was the rotten cherry on top of a sour night, and the last thing I wanted to do was kiss him, but I stood there under the moonlight, keeping my eyes shut as his mouth moved lazily over mine.
“Are you going to invite me inside?” he whispered.
“I can’t.”
“Why not?”
“This is my brother’s place...” And you’ve been an asshole to me tonight.
“So?” He smiled. “We can be quiet.”
“I don’t think so.” I forced a smile. “Thank you for a good night. I had a good time.”
“Well, how about we make it a great night, and you come back to my place?”
I tried not to roll my eyes. “No, that’s okay.”
“Ugh. Really?” He stepped back. “What a waste of time. I should’ve known better than to take a sophomore to prom.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means I expected something in return for allowing you to go the prom before your time.” He had the audacity to look like he was hurt. “You should at least suck my cock to show you’re grateful.”
I didn’t bother responding to that. I walked into the house and slammed the door, heading straight to my suite, halfway hoping Jonathan had broken his promise not to wait up for me.
He didn’t.
He never knocked on my door.
I collapsed onto my bed, still in my bright purple dress, wiping away tears every few seconds.
I should’ve known. Why didn’t I see this before?
Rolling over on my side, I pulled out my phone and noticed Bryan had sent me two texts.
Bryan: Was that a no to showing me you’re grateful?
Bryan: How much longer do I need to sit in the limo and wait for you?
I sighed and started to type a response, but a text from Corey appeared on my screen.
Corey: How was your date?
I saved my “You’re such an asshole” text to Bryan as a draft and texted Corey instead.
Me: Awful.
Corey: I don’t believe that. Tell me the truth.
Me: It. Was. Awful. (That’s the honest truth.)
Corey: What went wrong?
Me: Everything...Too much to text.
