Would You Dream Forever?

[15]

JANICE'S POV

What's the best revenge?

Right now I can only think of two things:
•Step right in front of him and glare.
• Get another boy and pretend we are going for a date.

If I step right in front of him, he'll just walk past me, since he hates me, and I will just be left standing there.

Hmm. Who should I call?

Just grab a random person? Or not?

Then I see John.

He's a normal person, a quiet person, one that doesn't like to be disturbed and stuff.

I run over to him, and shout,"John!"

He turns, and watches me silently.

"Can you-can you... pretend to be-my- my boyfriend?"

He bites his lip, and hesitates, but eventually nods.

I whoop and grab his arm and pull him away and towards the direction of Riam.

I enter the restraunt that they were at. I sit John down and say,"What do you want to eat?"

He raises an eyebrow. "Isn't this supposed to be a date?"

I nod, but say," I was the one that dragged you into this, so I should be the one paying for lunch."

I take out my purse, but he puts a hand on my arm.

"The boy's supposed to pay, not the girl." He says in his deep voice, taking out his wallet.

I raise an eyebrow. "Really?" I ask him, unbelieving.

"Sure." He shrugs his shoulders.

"I... um... okay." I stutter, feeling a bit embarrassed.

It was really awkward as I tried to think of something to actually talk about.

"So um... who are you going to bring for prom?" I ask him.

Prom is the day when all the boys are supposed to ask the girls to dance.

It is not long from now, in fact, only a few days left.

I don't know who is going to ask me... maybe no one.

"No one. " He says sadly. Then his eyes brighten. "Since we are 'dating', can I bring you out?"

"I mean like, with making Riam angry and all..."

For a second, I was completely dumbstruck. Then a grin spread over my face.

"Sure, I-"

"No. I need to do this the proper way." He cuts over my words.

He gets out of his seat, kneels on the floor in front of me, and holds ny hand.

"What are you doing?" I hiss at him. "Get up!"

"Will you, Janice, accept my invitation to go to Prom with me?"

I nod my head. "Get up!" I whisper-yell.

He grins as he gets up. "What?" I ask, confused.

"I did that to make your boyfriend angry. It worked!"

"I feel your real boyfriend's glare on me." He chuckles, and I chuckle too.

Looks like its going to be interesting having another 'boyfriend' for revenge on Riam.
