I picked up the dress and after doing so, it revealed gorgeous Louis V heels.
Under one of the heels, a cute note was left. I opened it up and almost began to cry.
Dear Coy,
Words cannot describe how I feel about you. I know you had a little trouble with the idea of prom yesterday, so I bought you a little something JUST INCASE you wanted something new.
Yours Truly,
Nic
I put everything on the table perfectly and posted it on Snapchat. Immediately, Tia and Harper replied… Tia’s message said, “Oh my god, you’re dating!” I simply replied with a thumbs up and smiling face, indicating it was true.
My heart began pounding faster as I looked at the notification telling me Harper had messaged me. I used all the courage in my body and clicked on the message. “Oh wow, congrats, love you.”
“What the fuck?” I said a little too loud.
I mean, it’s better than a catfight. Oh well.
I carried all my things and went to my room.
I decided to do my classes online rather than at school today. It was honestly way better than going physically. And this way, I’d have time to search for makeup artists.
After finishing up my assignments online, I called up a makeup artist I found on a youtube channel. We agreed on a time and cut the phone.
I was honestly so ready for tomorrow, and nothing could ruin my day; absolutely nothing.
Chapter 32
It was 7:15 pm and Nic would be here at 7:30.
My makeup was already done and I had my clothing on. I carried my shoes that Nic had bought me and went to the sitting room downstairs.
My mother was in the kitchen with her large camera, ready to take pictures.
Ding dong, ding dong.
“Oh Christ, here we go,” I said under my breath.
“I got the door!” MY mom shouted loudly before running to the door with a camera dangling from her neck.
She opened the door and gasped immediately.
“Wow, aren’t you handsome! I’m Ms. Clent, nice to meet you. Thank you for taking out my daughter, she can be a little lonely, but I’m sure with you she’ll be okay, but take care of her, alright? Oh yeah, thank you for the items you bought her!” My mom finally finished and took a deep breath.
“Pictures! Pictures! Oh, my baby is growing up so fast!” My mom motioned us to the stairs and turned on her camera.
We rook multiple pictures, some of Nic putting on that cheesy flower thing around my wrist, us hugging, and even some pictures of us laughing.
Nic and I got up from our pose and walked to the front door. My mom opened it and showed us the path out the door.
“Bye, love you!” Shouted.
Nic and I got into the car and drove off.
Chapter 33
The room was beautiful. I didn’t know the gym could ever look so nice. Lights were everywhere, music was playing, and the room was full of food.
As Nic and I walked hand in hand, the attention began to drift towards us. I noticed Tia in the corner of the room, she was asked out by a boy named Lambert. He was hot and rich, but not my type.
I peered around the room but was unable to see Harper.
Harper? Miss prom? Impossible.
“I’m glad you came with me Coy!” Nic hollered over the music.
“Yeah, me too!” I shouted back and smiled.
“Would you like anything to drink?” He said like a gentleman.
“Yeah, just punch, thanks!” I said as I kissed him on the cheek.
He smiled and ran off to get the punch on the other side of the gym.
I put my purse on the chair I was sitting on to preserve our seats, then I went to the lady’s room.
I pushed open the door to find an empty bathroom. “Thank god,” I said to myself.
I went into a stall and did my business before flushing and exiting the stall.
I washed my hands before hearing another flush in the bathroom.
What the fuck?
Out came Harper. She walked up to the mirror farthest away from me and began reapplying makeup.
“Hey, Harp!” I said smiling.
She looked at me a fake smile before turning back to the mirror rolling her eyes.
“I love your dress, did you get it at the thrift shop?” Harper said and began laughing.
I began laughing along too, hoping it was a joke.
“Where is Nic anyways?” She said as she smacked the lip gloss she had just put on.
“He is outside, in the gym.” I dried my hands with a napkin, “where is Jonas?”
“Why would it matter to you Coin? You don’t support me.” She pouted her bottom lip and then began to laugh again.
“Harp, what do you mean? I truly-,”
“Don’t,” Harper said and shoved me a little bit.
“Oh my, Harper…” I looked at my wrists and they started bleeding. My old cuts started reopening.
“Oh my god, you’re also a suicidal bitch, no way!” Harper laughed and inspected my arms.
I turned on the sink and began to wash away the blood that had spilled out onto my wrists.
“Harper, that was before. What is going on with you? What did I do?” I got a napkin and dabbed the areas that were still bleeding.
Harper walked around me in a circle and inspected me head to toe. She suddenly stopped right in front of me and smiled really wide. She took another step closer to me and grabbed my wrists with a harsh force.
“Oh fuck, Harper, stop!” I whisper shouted to avoid the attention of others outside.
Harper
