"He
is bad news..."
Chapter 28
I was home, wearing this dress Sienna picked for
me. I was totally drifted away this morning. She understood that
and picked the dress for me. It was a pink one, with a short
skirt combined of ripped off textile and veil but with a long
tail. It was beautiful. I decided to wear a pair of silver high
heels. I curled my hair and applied a pale pink lipgloss on my
lips, a faint–pink blush on my cheeks and make–up. My
mascara and eyeliner were hardly visible.
I was fixing my hair in front of the mirror when
my mom burst into the room. A huge smile covered her face as she
took three pictures of me.
“That’s enough, mom!” I whined,
hiding my face in my hands.
“But you look so beautiful, honey!
Homecoming is such a great event, you should be glowing with
happiness!” she cheered, snapping another
picture.
“Okay, that’s enough” I said,
grabbing her camera and throwing it on my bed. “It’s
annoying!”
Suddenly, the doorbell sounded. Confused, I
casted an eye on the alarm clock on my nightstand, just to notice
it was only 7 pm. Homecoming was starting on 8 pm. What’s
the meaning of this?
I walked down the staircase, trying not to step
on my dress. When I entered the hall, I saw Everett standing
there, holding a box and wearing a tux.
“You’ve got to be kidding me” I
blurted out, walking to him.
He gave me a toothy smile and gave me the box. I
wore the bracelet and then my mom tapped our shoulders.
“Sit there, I want to take a picture!”
“Nah uh! Don’t you move!” I
shouted, snapping my finger at her.
“Come on, it’s prom! If I don’t
take pictures now, when will I?” she said, playing it all
innocent.
“Yeah, it’s prom!” Everett
repeated. I shot him a glare and he laughed.
“Don’t encourage her!” I
whined.
“Come on, pictures are cool!” he
said.
“Who are you with?!” I said, faking a
furious expression.
“It’s just one picture” he
claimed, pulling me closer.
“I hate you” I muttered, while
waiting for my mom to bring the camera.
“I know” he said, smiling at the
camera. I did the same and as soon as the ‘click’
sounded, we calmed down.
“You never introduced me to your
date” my mom said. I coughed the moment I heard the word
‘date’. He’s not even my date mom, wake
up!!
“I’m Everett Randers,
ma’am” he introduced himself, shaking hands with my
mother politely. I laughed softly, earning a smack on my arm by
Everett.
“Nice to meet you, Everett” my mother
said.
“Nice to meet you too, Mrs. Jensen”
he replied.
“Oh, please, call me Sarah” she
beamed, flashing me a knowing smile.
Just then, my dad appeared. Everett straightened
his back and fixed his tie. I was about to burst out laughing but
he gave me an annoyed look so I tried to hold back my
laughter.
“Hello Mr. Jensen” Everett said
confidentially. I smiled a small smile, move that made my dad
shoot me a glance.
Awkward silence. Do something,
ret.ard.
“Dad, this is Everett Randers, my date for
homecoming” I introduced Everett to my dad.
“Nice to meet you, Everett” my dad
said politely. “Take care of my baby girl, will you?”
he added with a sweet tone.
I blushed as Everett’s hand laced around my
waist, pulling me closer. “I will”.
“We should go” I blurted out, even
though I knew the prom wasn’t gonna start for almost forty
minutes now.
Everett took my hand and
opened the front door, leading me outside. We both waved my
parents goodbye and walked across the garden, making our way to
the street and holding hands.
“What was that?” I asked him, still
surprised.
“No way am I letting you go to the prom
with that jerk” he said steadily, looking over at
me.
“So, you came here, dressed up like this,
met my parents and pretended to be my date just to make sure
Vince won’t take me to the prom?” I asked, feeling my
heart hurt.
He remained silent. I shook my head.
“You’re such an as.s.hole, Everett” I said,
walking down the street and making my way to the opposite
pavement.
“Wait!” he called me, chasing after
me. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back. “Wait” he
repeated, turning me around.
“What do you want?” I asked, feeling
so hurt. He couldn’t be so bad. But hey, I guess Sienna was
right after all.
“I’m sorry. I came here because yes,
I didn’t want Vince to take you to the prom. However, the
reason you’re thinking about is not the only one. I was
jealous, Evelyn. No one can take you to any prom or touch you
except me” he stated, voice steady.
His words made me smile. That smile soon turned
into a smirk. “Possessive much?” I said.
“Yes” he answered, holding me
close.
“Where are we gonna go now? We’re not
going to the prom, are we?” I asked him, unsure of his
intentions.
He looked at me, smiling.
“It’s a surprise”.
