PART FOURTEEN ↳ a night to remember
HARRY SAT AT ONE OF THE MANY TABLES decorated for the bar mitzvah that was never going to happen. The teens sat at tables with name tags that didn't belong to them but they didn't let this dampen their spirits. Tonight was a night for celebrating, for having a good time, for forgetting their troubles and for saying goodbye to their old lives.
Harry couldn't help but feel like a fool as he sat in miserable silence, waiting for one girl in particular to show up. Penelope was late, Grizz was nowhere in sight and Harry's mind was trying to convince him that the pair had decided not to come at all.
Campbell sat beside him, occasionally making snide remarks about their peers as they passed by but otherwise completely oblivious to Harry's foul mood.
Maybe she was still upset about the kiss. Harry hadn't meant to hurt her, he hadn't even really meant to kiss her. But then suddenly his body was deciding for him and he couldn't take it back, so his knee-jerk reaction had been to pull away and try to joke about it.
He couldn't believe how much of an idiot he had been. The one thing he hadn't wanted to fuck up and he'd fucked it up, real bad.
Just Like Heaven by The Cure began to play from the speakers and Harry only recognised it because his mother used to play it to death. Thoughts of his mother effected his mood even more negatively.
He'd learned of her affair with Kelly's father only a few hours ago and the first person he'd wanted to talk to was currently mad at him. He wasn't sure when he'd started to need Penelope more than he had ever needed Kelly, but there was no going back now.
As he sipped his wine, he contemplated ditching the prom altogether and going to search for the fiery redhead. He was never going to have any fun without her anyway.
Harry sighed in remorse as the last song faded out and the next began to play. Bean met his eye and grinned, giving him a big thumbs up. She was playing the song he had given to her as soon as Penelope had told him she would save him a dance at the prom.
It was supposed to be a surprise, something small to make her smile, to show her that he cares. But now it had only succeeded at making him feel worse.
