you sat on the couch watching a movie in your best friend, daniel's house. daniel was next to you and you were on your phone looking at promposal videos.
your high school's prom was just around the corner, and you were dateless. your only friends were daniel, his band mates, and a couple girls that you've known since elementary school. you honestly had been debating on even going since you didn't have a date. what was the point?
you sighed and put your phone down, not wanting to make yourself feel even worse.
"what's wrong y/n?" he asked.
"nothing." you shrugged. he gave you a look, but you pretended not to notice it, looking back at the tv.
"i'll be right back." daniel stood up and went went down the hall. you noticed he left his phone, and you weren't gonna look at it, but it kept vibrating and you were tempted.
his phone had been going off all afternoon and he was always o it. you were used to this because his group chat with his band mates was always blowing up, but recently every time he'd look at his phone he'd get a huge smile on his face. it was too suspicious.
you saw that it was just the group chat wit the guys and almost put his phone down, until you saw your name.
you didn't know daniel's password, but just by seeing it on the front screen you knew what was happening. you put his phone back where it was and covered your mouth, trying to comprehend what just happened and trying to hide your excitement.
the texts wouldn't leave your mind. first it was from jonah. "i just picked up the roses, you're all set bud" then it was zach "ugh y'all are gonna be so cute together at prom". those words would not leave your mind.
suddenly you got a sickening feeling in your stomach. what if daniel was asking someone else? he was close with your two girl friends, maybe he was asking them. or some random girl that you didn't even know.
daniel came back and you decided to stop worrying about it, but it didn't do much. you brought your knees up into your chest and wrapped your arms around yourself. something you found yourself doing when you were nervous or anxious.
"y/n," daniel said. you turned your head. "what's wrong?"
"i'm just thinking, sorry."
"about what? i'm here if you wanna talk."
"i know, thank you. i just wanna lay here."
"wanna cuddle?" he asked. he always knew how to make you smile, and that's what was so special about him. you nodded and scooted closer to him.
you lay your head on his shoulder and he put his arm around yours. you wrapped your arm around him and closed your eyes, hugging him.
the next day, you were dreading going to school. everyone would be freaking out about their prom dresses and everything related to prom, but you wouldn't. every girl had dreamed about going to prom, including you, and you felt heartbroken.
you didn't care enough to put any makeup on, so you showed up at school in leggings, a sweater you stole from daniel, and your checkered vans.
