I smiled fakely as pictures were being taken from every angle possible. This whole thing was making me nausous. It was Homecoming night and I was being escorted by Brad.
Nick and I agreed that it was ok he went with someone else, just to make our breakup a little more believeable.
"Ok, can we go?" I asked irritated.
"Yeah, you can go," my dad said gushing at me.
I rolled my eyes, "Its about time."
"Marissa, let me talk to you," my dad said right before I left the house.
"Im really glad you are going along with this whole thing now. You're making me proud," he said smiling.
"Bye Dad," I whispered.
I started to feel guilty.
I walked out the door with Brad and we got into his BMW Z8. Spoiled asshole. Finally, we were on our way to the dance.
When Brad and I arrived to the dance, of course the first person I saw was Nick. I smiled and went to wave, but saw who he was dancing with. I felt a rush of jealousy rush over me. It was Veronica.
"You know what Marissa? I know you really want to be with Nick, go over there, I'll ask Veronica to dance," he smiled.
"Are you being serious?" I asked.
"Yeah," he nodded.
"When did you grow a heart?" I asked.
"When I realized what it feels like to be in love and not be able to be with that person," he said smiling.
"Who are you in love with?" I asked interested.
"Dont worry about it. Just go see Nick, come on. Let's go get Veronica away from him," he said.
We walked through the crowd of people who were dancing to the extremly loud music. I walked up to Nick and smiled.
"Marissa!" Nick exclaimed looking confused.
"Hey, Veronica, do you want to dance?" Brad yelled over the music.
"Eh, no," she said snottily. I looked at her shocked.
"No, no! I said you look fat in those pants!" he yelled, getting even with her.
Yes, Veronica was wearing pants. Dont ask. They were cute dress pants, but definitly not something I would wear, to Homecoming.
"What?!" she shreiked. She stormed away,pouting the whole way to the bathroom.
"What was that about?" Nick asked looking confused.
"Come on Nick. Let's go dance," I said pulling him with me.
