Blake's pov

It's been a few days since prom was announced and Hayden has yet to ask me out to prom yet. I don't know what he's waiting for. I'm scared that he hasn't asked me yet because he's too afraid of going to prom with a guy. He hasn't spoken to me since then too.

Every time I try to talk to him it seems like there's always something going on or someone wants to talk to him. I thought it was bad before but now I'm ready to reconsider. It's like he doesn't knowledge my existence whenever he's with me somewhere else. It sucks that he won't even let me eat with him.

I used to be fine with the idea but lately, every single girl has been twirling around him. I can't help but think that Hayden may prefer going to prom with one of them.

I don't know what I'm gonna do if he doesn't ask me to go to prom, go to prom on my own and suffer seeing my boyfriend of all people with another girl? That isn't right and I don't want that but I fear this will happen either way. Prom is already next week.

"Hey!" Oh gosh, not her.

"Hey.."

"So..do you have a date yet for you know the prom?"

"No"

"What?! You totally have to ask a girl out!"

"What's the rush anyways? I'll just go on my own."

"How can you say that?! You can't go on your own!"

"What? What's wrong? Why does it bother you that much anyways?"

"Because.."

"Because what Teressa?"

"It's basically an obligation to go to prom with someone. You don't want to go on your own, you'll be all lonely."

"So what? It's not like any girls want to be with me anyways."

"What makes you say that?"

"Well I'm basically plain average, girls want guys like Hayden and I don't know if you noticed but you're the only girl that talks to me."

"I'm sure there must be at least one girl that would be willing to go with you." I can't believe I'm going to put on an act.

"Hm sure then. If you really want me to ask out a girl, which girl do you think I should ask out?"

"Oh..uh I don't know... I was just saying it like that."

"So I was right then?"

"No..there must be at least one girl that is waiting for you to make a move on her."

"You think?"

"Yeah!"

"Oh, ok then I'll see if there's a girl that interests me."

"Oh..ok."

———————-

It's been a few days since I lied to Teresa. I mean I couldn't do better than that. I'm not out yet obviously. It's not like Hayden would let me anyways. He doesn't want anyone to doubt anything regarding us.

The good thing is that right now it's the weekend and I don't have to worry about school right now. Hayden finally agreed to hang out with just us two.

I'm currently waiting for Hayden to come pick me up. I don't know where he's planning to bring me. He said it's a surprise, it better be a good surprise. He owns me a lot so it better be good.

Hmm, he's late again. Seriously, why is he always late? Aren't I supposed to be his number one priority? Ugh, come on come faster...

He eventually ends up arriving a few minutes later to my grand disappointment.

I was pissed at him and almost started an argument with him but he tried to get him to calm down, times and times again.

In the end, I recomposed myself and I decided to let his tardiness slide as this was my only opportunity to be with my boyfriend.

——————

I'm entirely confused! I don't get it! Last weekend things were going well between me and Hayden. He ended up bringing me to a fair and we had fun.

He was really sweet and all but earlier I overheard a girl ask him to go to prom with her and you know what? He said yes!! I can't believe this..this truly is a betrayal to me. I thought Hayden loved me but I didn't think he would stoop so low to do that.

I know that we aren't out to the school but that doesn't give him the right to say yes to a girl to go to prom with her! He just had to say no, just a simple no... It hurts...I don't want to see him right now, all I want is to punch him.

I knew this could be a possibility but I didn't think he would actually do it. I guess he doesn't care about me as much as I think he does. I can't believe I'll have to suffer being all alone on prom night of all nights and being forced to see him, yes my boyfriend, with another girl! So when I see Teresa, I did the only logical thing to do.

"Teresa, do you want to be my date for prom?"

"What? Oh, uh yes!"

It's obvious she's delighted about the news but I couldn't care less. I'm doing this to get back at Hayden for doing what he did.

——————

It's prom night, the big day. At the same time, I can't believe it's already prom but I'm glad that time went by fast. I was so pissed at Hayden that I didn't talk to him since then, not even when he tried to apologize and get me to talk to him again.

Obviously, it hurts him but he kinda deserves it. What he did was the last straw. Even if he apologized it wouldn't be genuine because as far as I'm concerned, he's still going to prom with that girl. Like the coward I am I agreed to go pick up Teressa.

Even if she's really happy about going to prom with me I'm not. I don't even like her, I need to remind myself that this is only to get back at Hayden. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he'll see me with Teresa. It's already time to go pick up Teresa.

I don't know what I'm expecting tonight. I guess I'll try to at least have some fun. Hmm, maybe I could find a way to leave the place once I don't want to be there anymore. Good thing I have my car. I knock on their door. I'm met by a man, I guess her dad. He doesn't seem really thrilled to see me.

"Who are you?"

"Oh uh, I'm Blake, Blake Bullock."

"Ok and what are you doing here?" Doesn't he know that it's prom night?

"I'm here to pick up your daughter."

"So you're her date?"

"Yes? It's prom tonight."

"I know that. I want my daughter back at 10 pm. If you don't bring her safe and sound, you'll never get to be near my daughter ever again."

"Yes sir" We hear Teresa coming closer and yelling across the house.

"Dad stop threatening Blake!" She inches closer and then she's next to her dad. He scoffs.

"Fine, but he's aware of the consequences if he doesn't respect what I ask him to."

"Yes, Dad.."

"No funny business." I'm sure there won't be any funny business through.

"Ok, I guess we should get going now."

"Yeah"

I don't get to leave until I get one last threatening stare coming from her dad. Geez, that guy is overprotective of his daughter. We get into the car and then we head for the school.

"You're really handsome Blake, especially tonight.." She blushes.

"Oh, thanks, you look pretty too."

"Really?"

"Yes, you are." She blushes yet again.

It takes a few more minutes before we arrive at school. Lots of people have already arrived. So we aren't the first ones out there. We get out of the car. Without thinking Teresa holds my hand. At first, I was hesitant but I ended up accepting it.

At first glance, I instantly notice Hayden with that girl. It doesn't take him long to notice me. His face goes blank once he notices that I'm holding hands with a girl but he quickly tries to hide it. Everyone starts to get inside the gymnasium where the prom is healed.

Inside the auditorium there are lots of flashing lights, some typical classic pop songs and some people have started dancing. What's more embarrassing is that some teachers are dancing. How cringe.

There are some places where you can get drinks. Of course, none of them have alcohol in them. There's an area in particular where most people are dancing right now, it's the center of the gymnasium. It really does look like a dance floor.

"Hey, do you want to dance?" I almost forgot for a moment that Teresa is with me.

"Sure.." We do just that.

I bet they're gonna put on some slow music because on which prom night isn't there some slow music? Well, probably none.

It's obvious that Teresa wants to enact some closeness but I don't feel comfortable. Every time she tries to come closer, I push her subtlety. It's even worse when I notice Hayden dancing with that girl. We accidentally make eye contact and I freeze.

"Hey, what'd you looking at?"

"Oh uh, nothing."

It's clear she doesn't buy my act but she continues pretending as if nothing is wrong. Things continue to be that way for quite some time until Hayden gets tired of dancing and I notice that he's coming towards me.

"I need to go to the washroom."

"Wait really why?"

"It'll be a quickie."

"Ok.."

I almost run to go to the washroom. To my grand displeasure, he's still following me. Oh gosh, he's coming to the washroom with me. What does he want? It's prom! I don't want to talk to him right now. I try to get into a stall but Hayden catches my arm before I do.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

"Avoiding you? There are tons of problems why."

"Huh? I don't get it. Why were you with Teresa?"

"Then why were you with that girl?" That shuts him up really fast.

"That's what I mean! You ask me why I do this and that but you do it too. Do you have any idea why I brought her?"

"No.."

"Because it was to get back to you. You had the nerve to go with a girl to prom knowing damn well we're dating!!"

"You know that's unfair. I couldn't say no.."

"Yes, you could! It's not because you're mister president that you're forced to listen to the others!"

"But..I can't say no to them.."

"Is it that little gang of yours that insisted that you do that, or is it your pathetic self?!"

It's clear those words hurt him but right now I'm mad. I'm in no mood to consider his feelings.

"It's not like that.."

"Then, why are you always with them?! You're never with me! You're always busy all the time saying you've got school duties or studying to do! Am I, not your priority?!"

"You are my priority but.."

"No buts. I'm so sick of this! You know what? It's over between us!"

"What? No... you can't be serious.."

"Yes, I am dead serious!"

"No..there must be a way to make you reconsider.."

"I'm tired of your bullsh*t! Go date that girl of yours while you're at it!"

"No...Blake.."

"Ugh...I'm out!" I try to leave but Hayden grabs and kisses me. I push him away. Then, I realize that I have tears rolling down my face.

"Don't leave me, Blake... I still love you."

"Sure you do..but we can't make this work anymore."

"Yes, we can...I would do anything to make you reconsider."

"Oh yeah like what?"

It seems like he's thinking for a while then he grabs my hand and he drags me out of the washroom. Some people look at us confused but what makes me even more confused is that it seems like they're gonna announce who's the prom queen and prom king.

Then again, Hayden is still holding my hands. That girl in particular is looking for him and I guess Teressa is too.

"It's finally time to announce who is prom queen and prom king!" Everyone cheers.

"The vote casting is over and now I will reveal who you voted for prom queen and prom king! Without farther or do, the prom queen is... Jenna Fairchild!"

The f**k? Isn't that girl Hayden was with? Oh no, don't tell me that he's...

"And the prom king is...Hayden Sanders!"

No...Omg..ugh I should have known that this would happen. That Jenna girl goes on stage but Hayden doesn't, actually he's.. Wait what is he doing? Why isn't he letting me go of my hand?

He forces me to come with him and pushes me into the crowds. There we end up on stage. Everyone is looking at us confused about why I'm on stage with them.

"Um..there's only one prom king and it's Hayden."

"About that actually... Can I do a speech?"

"What why?"

"I want to announce something, as school president of course."

"Sure go on."

"Hi, students. I hope you all had a good night!" They all say yes and cheer.

"Well, I had a good night. As you can see I'm honoured as prom king but I want to add something else." What is he saying?

"I brought this guy over here because.." Oh gosh...I feel so anxious right now.

"Well, tonight there isn't only one prom queen and a prom king. I would like to say that I proclaim Blake as prom king!" Everyone gaps and that girl Jenna does too.

"I proclaim him as prom king because I would like to change the ruling tonight."

"You can't do that!" Lots of people yell.

"Yes, I can because after all, I'm your president!" Hayden says in return.

"I call him that because.." He holds my hand.

"Because Blake Bullock is my boyfriend!" Everyone gaps and are in shock, I'm honestly too. I can't grasp 100 percent what's going on.

"To all the girls that like me, I apologize but I'm not single, Blake is mine and has been mine for months!" Lots of girls boo him. Hayden gives back the microphone to the animator.

"Wow..what a shocker. I don't know what to say..." The animator turns to look at us.

"This is definitely history right there guys! Well, I agree with Hayden on here, our two prom kings for tonight are Hayden Sanders and Blake Bullock!" Some people boo and some people even cheer us.

"It's now time for the..prom kings to slow dance together."

Lots of people are filming us, probably because they want to capture the historical moment. We get down the stage.

"Wait here I want to say something to Teresa."

"Oh..ok but can you make it quick? I can't wait to dance with you."

"Yes, I will." I almost run towards Teresa that wasn't too far off.

"Don't talk to me."

"No, Teresa don't be like that...I know that it doesn't look good but I truly think you're a great girl. I just...I don't like you that way, I'm gay." By now she's crying.

"As you told me the other day, you'll find a boy that will love you for you and for real too."

"Blake.."

"I'm sorry...I just...I said yes because well I couldn't go to prom with you know Hayden because well you know why."

"Yeah... So he's really your boyfriend? It's not a joke right?"

"No, I can assure you that it's not a joke. I've been dating him for a few months now."

"Wow...I feel really kind of pathetic right now."

"I know I can't take the pain away but when you'll want to, will you continue being my friend?"

"I was your friend?"

"Yeah, you were...I just didn't realize."

"Well right now I just want to cry but I'll think about it." At least she's laughing about it.

"Now I'll go dance with Hayden."

"Oh ok."

I leave her and I run back towards Hayden. Once I'm there, there's some slow music that starts blasting in the gymnasium. It's as if they were waiting for me to dance with Hayden.

Hayden grabs ahold of my arms and we start slow dancing. Everyone is looking at us. It's pretty uncomfortable but just seeing Hayden smile makes it so much better. I whisper to him.

"I really wasn't expecting you to do that."

"I wasn't either but I knew I had to do something. I couldn't possibly lose you."

"I didn't want to lose you either.."

"Are we really still boyfriends?"

"Yes.."

"I promise you I'll make you my priority."

"You sure about that?"

"Yes, I will."

I smile as I kiss him. Everyone cheers us despite the ruckus we made.

I believe Hayden when he says I'll be his priority. Especially with what he did tonight, he'll have no choice.

Hopefully, things will be better eventually. What matters now is that I'm dating mister president that for tonight finally let me be the number one priority.

The end
