~The Boy Next Door~ Eli Moskowitz x female oc

Part 17

It's been a long time since I've updated this but it's fine. Nothing much has happened except the winter formal is coming up in a day-ish. I'm tryna figure out what to wear but I have no sense in fashion.

I don't know how to dress without looking normal or over the top. There is no in between. I asked mom to help me she said a blue dress with some nude heels. I didn't have any ideas so I agreed.

~the day of the dance~

I've been all over the place today. Of course Robby isn't going to the dance because he's a literal nobody and nothing interesting goes on with him,that's why I never talk about him. He keeps to himself and likes most people while I talk a lot and hate everyone except Eli,Demetri,and Miguel.

I got in the shower around 3:30 pm and got out around 4:30 which is reasonable. I had to wash my hair,shave which is a very long process, washing my hair out,skin care,etc. I quickly blow dried my hair..well it wasn't quickly but i did my best.

I was feeling really good until I realized I have to wear a dress. I just tried to ignore it. I got I to my dress and ran downstairs while I held it up. "Mom! I need help! Will you zip this up?" -I say- "of course! Come here!" -mom says- I walked into the kitchen and mom zipped my dress up.

I thanked her and adjusted it tighter. I ran back upstairs to my room and strapped my heels on. I broke a sweat putting those torturous things on! I'm used to pants,a hoodie,and running shoes!

I sat down at my vanity and began to do my hair and make up.I sat there for at least an hour,maybe a little longer! I was finally ready. I waddled downstairs making sure I didn't mess anything up.

I told mom I was ready and we went out to the car. "Are you excited?!" -mom asks- "yes! Is this too much? Or not enough?" -I ask- "it's just right! Calm down,enjoy your night!" -mom says- "ok,ok,ok." -I say-  "it's gonna be weird at first but then you'll get used to it! Your friends are gonna be there,right?" -mom says- "yes" -I say-

~at the dance~

Mom dropped me off and I walked inside. Miguel,Demetri,and Eli were all sitting on the bleachers,I nervously but confidently walked over to them smiling. Demetri and Miguel pushed Eli forward towards me while I walked up the stairs.

"Hey,love!" -I say- he was mumbling something to Demetri and Miguel. "Eli,she's talking to you!" -Miguel says- I giggled and shook my head. "Soo Miguel and Demetri are y'all here together?" -I ask jokingly- "totally!" -Miguel says in a high pitched voice- "we don't have dates,unlike some." -Demetri says-

I put my hand on Eli's cheek and kissed him softly. "You..um,you look nice!" -Eli says- "you don't like too bad yourself!"-I say smiling- "what about us?!" -Demetri asks- "y'all look good too but I'm here for this one." -I say sarcastically- Demetri flipped me off and Miguel laughed.

"Go ask some girls out or something yall look like lonely men." -I say- "they are.."-Eli says- "he's right." -Miguel says- "so is she." -Demetri says- "you like sam and Yasmine,right guys?" -I ask- "yes." -Miguel and Demetri say-

I grabbed Eli's hand and started walking over to the rich girls. "Hey Yasmine and Sam! Come here for a second!" -I say- the girls heads turned towards me and started walking over to me and Eli. "Yes?" -Sam asks- "if you're gonna sabotage us,just do it." -Yasmine says- "not today,I would've done that a long time ago,but my friends wanna ask you something." -I say pointing to Demetri and Miguel-

The followed me and Eli while we walked back to the others. I pat their shoulders and walked away. "Good luck!" -I say- "now back to my handsome boyfriend!" -I say kissing his cheek- "you got lipstick on my cheek!" -Eli says- "I'm sorry!" -I say going to wipe it off with my finger- "no! I like it!" -Eli says-

The gym was lit purple and blue,there was blue and white balloons everywhere,it was really cute! Me and Eli sat down on the REALLY soft couches they had and started talking. I looked back and the boys were hitting it off with Yasmine and Sam.

<a/n: it looks like the winter formal in 13 reasons why,if you've seen it>

"I'm gonna go get one of those fancy sparkling apple juices,want one?" -I say- "nuh uh" -Eli hums- "ok I'll be back!" -I say- I walked over to a table and got a fancy apple juice. I felt my dress strap being messed with from behind me and I knew it wasn't Eli because he's Eli,it wasn't Miguel because he was with Sam,and it wasn't Demetri.

"Kyler stop it."-I say- "how did you know it was me?" -Kyler asks- "you're the only person that tries to get with me even though I have a boyfriend." -I say- I pushed him away from me and walked back to Eli. "God that boy has a death wish." -I say- "Kyler?" -Eli asks- "yes. He wants to be with me even though I'm with you. I hate him so much." -I say- "he's so annoying!" -Eli says- "exactly."-I say-

The night we met started playing and I stood up. "Can I have this dance?" -I ask- Eli smiled softly and nodded. He looked so cute this entire time but something about him taking my hand and standing up in his suit was different.

We moved to the middle of the gym and started slow dancing. "You're so cute" -I say resting my head on his chest- "I love you so much,Y/n" -Eli says kissing my cheek- "I love you too" -I say-

I honestly can't explain how happy he makes me. It pisses me off because  some people tell me they're surprised me and Eli have lasted this long because Eli's autism. Sometimes I don't know how to respond but I try to ignore it.

I honestly think I love him more than I should,and I don't know if that's a bad thing... "I-I umm was wondering if you would wanna spend the night at my house because my family is gonna go bowling tomorrow and-and they wanna meet you.."-Eli says- "are you sure,my love?" -I ask- "I wouldn't be asking if I wasn't!" -Eli says- "ok" -I say-
