I stare myself down in the mirror while wearing a dark green suit. My hair is slick back with tons of hair gel. Everything is raising through my head, I can't think clear. The only goal I have for the night was to talk to Y/n. Any word she said brightens up my mood.

A few yelling sounds suddenly come from outside my window. Slowly, I peek out just to see Chandler and McNamara sitting in Chandler's porche.

"Come on Hunter!" Chandler yells, beeping the car horn.

"Be right there", I yell back and run down the stairs. Mom and dad aren't home, as always, so there is no one to stop me.

I hurry out the door and practically jump inside the car. McNamara and Chandler stared at me, one of the stares more friendly than the other.

"I like your suit", McNamara smiles, breaking the awful loud silence.

"Thanks, I like yours too", I smile back and point at his suit. It's yellow and almost identical to mine. That may be because we bought them together though. We laugh before Chandler suddenly hits the gas and drives down the street.

The way to the school is extremely silent. All of us are caught up in our own thoughts. And if I'm guessing, it's all about Y/n.

I can't believe she has gotten me wrapped around her finger by just being herself. She's the only girl that doesn't fall for our foolish tricks, and the only girl that actually stands up to us.

So this is what it feels like being in love.

I feel like I'm about to turn into a foundation. The sweat has begun covering my back as well. Maybe

Y/n was just joking? Maybe I got stood up?

All my worries vanished once I hear a familiar voice calling my name. Y/n.

As I tilt my head up from the ground, it feels like my jaw has dropped to the floor. She is wearing a beautiful pink dress with white heels. Her hair is tied up in some kind of girl hairstyle. Either way, she's the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. And she's my date to the ball.

"Hey Martin", she smiles and walks up to me. "Omg, we're matching!".

She points at my suit and then back at her dress. We're both wearing pink. I had decided that I wanted to dress up for the occasion, so borrowed my dad's old suit. It's quite uncomfortable but it's worth it.

"Looks like we are", I nod, feeling all the nerves disappearing in my body. Talking to Y/n is just so stress relieving.

"That's great! Now everyone can see we're each other's dates. Come on, let's go!", she shrieks as she grabs my arm and runs inside the school. She isn't embarrassed being around me? Wow, this girl is something new.

We get to the gym when I feel Y/n wrapping her arm around my shoulder. Surprisingly, we're the same height which made it way easier to hold around each other.

"You ready for the time of your life Martin?", Y/n asks. I slightly nod while taking a deep breath. Both of us start walking in sync into the gym.

It's covered with balloons, lights and even a Christmas tree. Everything looks really nice, especially considering it's being held at Westerburg High, the most lazy and disgusting school in the state.

"Everyone is staring at us", I mumble into Y/n's ear.

"Probably because of you, you look amazing Martin", she chuckles and drags me all the way to the punch table. "Want a drink?".

"Sure", I shrug, watching her pour some punch into a red solo cup before handing it to me. After first sip, I feel like puking. "Ew, that's disgusting!".

"Thanks for the warning", Y/n giggles, pouring the liquid in her cup into the bowl again.

The whole night passes by like a flash. I spotted the Hunters earlier but hid away in the crowd. Everything is so awkward and weird now. I just wish everything would go back to how it was.
