Three Days Until Prom
You are Jade Harley. You wake up one morning to find your laptop overflowing with messages from your best friend and secret crush, Dave Strider. You are so excited to finally meet him in real life in a few days. You are flying down to hot and sunny Texas for his junior prom. It was so nice of him to invite you since you were going to move to Texas soon anyway. Yes, with financial help from Dirk, you are buying an apartment in the same complex as the Strider brothers. You are the last one out of your group of friends to move to Texas after the game because you are still a little afraid of leaving the remote Pacific Island you call home, but you know it will make life a lot easier having your friends around to help you. Not to mention the thought of seeing Dave everyday is pretty damn appealing to you. You reply to Dave's cool yet ironic messages and tell him how excited you are to see him in a couple days before getting out of bed and going through your morning routine.
Now you are Dave Strider. You have finished pestering Jade and rolled out of bed to get ready for the third to last day of school. You are so damn excited for school to be over so you could just spend the summer away from all the crazy idiots at your school, and that Jade, the girl you've secretly loved since the SBURB disaster, is moving next door and coming to your crazy, messed up school for senior year. You have some friends at school like Rose and John (AKA the schools cutest new couple), a girl by the name of Hera Connell whose older sister is dating Dirk (more on that relationship later), Hera's twin sister Artemis and there were some guys that you could tolerate because you are on the baseball team with them, but the fangirls that you have to put up with on a daily basis because you are so cool and the obnoxious jocks (aka assholes that accuse you of stealing their girlfriends when the fact remains that you have been single since you've developed feelings for Jade) who always try to start fights, were the reasons you hated school. Even though you are popular with the ladies, you would never want any girl other than Jade. Jade was perfect for you, but you are too shy to tell her how you feel about her. I know it's crazy that Mr. Coolkid can't tell a girl he has been friends with for years how he feels, but you are secretly not as cool as people think you are. "Hey Little Man, Hera will be here soon to pick you up, Athena just texted me to tell you they just left their house. Wouldn't want to get in too much trouble since schools almost out." Your older brother says interrupting your thoughts as you finish eating a large bowl of sugary cereal. Pulling your backpack over your shoulders, you make your way downstairs to the lobby of your building and wait a good 10 minutes before Hera, along with Artemis riding shotgun and Rose and John sitting in the back seat with their hands entwined cutely, pulled up in her cherry red Fiat always a miracle that everyone fits in Hera's tiny car every morning. You drive to school with your closest friends and the conversation turns to prom. "I can't even wait to meet Jade, she seems like such a chill lady. And she must be pretty cool to meet your high standards, Coolkid." Hera squealed. Hera was the gossip of the group, always interested in everyone's love life but she wasn't one to talk about her own. You and everyone in the car knew she was crushing on bad boy Hayden Marx but she would never admit it. Hayden was another main member of their group and has been Hera's best friend since he moved to their school in 8th grade. He is a reserved individual who doesn't like physical contact of any kind and doesn't have any idea how to express his feeling, even to his extremely close friends. Hera definitely had feelings for him, but he asked her to go to prom as just friends so she just denies liking him in hopes that she can convince herself that she doesn't like him. "I'm sure you and Jade will be fast friends, Hera." You say, smirking because Coolkids don't smile, they smirk. "So your girl likes being in the company of idiots, Strider? Seems that way if she's gonna like my sis." Artemis says, being the bitch for no reason that she always is before 11am. The one thing you need to know about Artemis is that she is a definite night person and don't piss her off in the morning or there will be hell to pay. That, and she loves British boybands like One Direction. You laugh while Hera punches her sister in the shoulder as the car rolls into your school parking lot. As you arrive at the school you walk to your first period class, which is AP Bio with John and Artemis. Hera and Rose say their goodbyes as they walk into the chem lab for their morning AP Chemistry class. Generally you share the same classes with your friends, and you only split up first and second period for science, which is one of your least favorite classes. Every other day however you have gym second period with all of your friends instead of two boring as fuck periods of science where all you want to do is sleep. Today was a shitty double period day so you decide to pester Jade instead of paying attention. She apparently knows you are in class and is telling you to pay attention or she wont go to prom with you, and that's a serous threat! Its not like you are learning anything new you are just watching videos because you took your final exam last week so you end up falling asleep and dreaming about your beloved Jade. Artemis taps your shoulder to wake you up at the end of the period and you continue on with your day in the usual fashion.
You are now Hera Connell. You are sitting at your usual lunch table with Dave, John, Rose, Artemis, Hayden, Crawford (who obvious likes your sister but she only likes him as a friend, or so you think), and a few other baseball players and their girlfriends. A few tables over, the lacrosse jocks sit with the cheerleaders who are all not so secretly crushing on Dave. Once in a while a cheerleader will casually walk over to your table and try to strike up a conversation with Dave, staying only a few moments before you flip them off or say something to offend them and make Dave laugh. You are generally more liked than the cheerleaders but you are such a flirt that the guys at your school don't think you are datable, so you've never had a serious boyfriend or even your first kiss. You like to believe that are saving yourself for someone who really deserves you, and by someone who deserves to be yours you mean Hayden, but all of the guys think of you more as a friend then as girlfriend material. "Hey Dave who are you going to prom with?" Lily Martell, the junior cheer captain said coating her voice with enough sweetness to give someone a cavity. "Not you bitch so fuck off!" you respond while flipping her off causing the whole table to erupt into laughter and Lily to storm off, back to the table of bitchy girls and jerky jocks. Not long after Lily's fall from grace in front of her beloved Dave, her two lackeys, Mandy Turkmenistan and Christa Marin, came to try and get you back but they fail almost as quickly as Lily. You are the queen of good comebacks so Mandy and Christa don't stand a chance. They run off same as Lily, and you and Dave share a high five and everyone else applauds you for getting ride of those god-awful cheerleaders. Hayden then grabs you hand under the table and holds it making your hear beat a little faster then normal. Is this his way of showing affection? Maybe, but you still think he just likes you as a friend. As your lunch period comes to an end you feel a twinge of sadness as Hayden lets go of your hand as he looks for Crawford so they can go to Social Studies class together as you head off to English with Rose and John. Rose and John make such a great couple, why can't you and Hayden have a cute relationship like theirs.
Two Days Until Prom
You are Jade Harley again. It's three in the morning and you can't fall back to sleep. You woke up from a nightmare where you flew out to Texas to go to prom and realized that you don't own a formal dress to wear. All of the girls from Dave's school laughed at you because you showed up to the dance in your usual, not very pretty attire. You can't order one online now because it will never come in time. You assume that not having a nice dress means that you can't go to prom so you decide to pester Dave and tell him that you can't go with him to the dance. Dave is fortunately still online, and you tell him the bad news with tears running down your face.

GG: DAVEEEEEEE I CAN'T GO TO PROM WITH YOUUUUUU
TG: WAIT WHAT? WHY? IS EVERYTHING OKAY HARLEY?!
GG: No. It's not okay. I don't have a dress for prom so you're gonna need to find someone else to go with. : (
GG: And I was so looking forward to it too!
TG: What the fuck Jade I thought you were hurt or some serious shit like that!
TG: And I picked out a dress for you. I didn't think you had a nice dress on that little island of yours so Rose John and me picked one out for you. Well Rose chose it and I paid for it. And John just came cuz Rose wanted him to… The dude is so whipped.
GG: Shut up John and Rose are the cutest couple ever! And wow you did all that for me? OMG Dave you are the best! What does my dress look like?
TG: Uhhh it's strapless and black with sparkles and green trim and a green ribbon belty thing and you're gonna look drop dead gorgeous in it I know for a fact.
GG: Awww thanks so much for everything Dave you really are the best!
TG: Its no problem Harley. No problem at all.
GG: I'm sorry for bothering you so early in the morning. You should probably get some rest so you are actually awake in some of your classes tomorrow.
TG: I was up anyway but I guess I will go so sleep now. Sweet dreams Harley.
GG: Goodnight Dave thanks for everything see you soon.
GG: 3

Your heart is beating extremely fast as you turn off your laptop and cuddle into your bed with your multitude of sqiddle dolls. You fall asleep thinking of how grateful you are to Dave. He majorly saved your butt with the whole dress thing. Not to mention he said you are drop-dead gorgeous, or at least you will be in your new gown. You are too tired to think about how amazing he is but once you are asleep you dream of you and him being together forever. You are undeniable head over heels in love with Dave Strider, and there is no going back now.
Later That Day:
You are Hayden Marx. You are in math class on the second to last day of school. Math is one of the few classes you share with your best friend Hera. She sits across the room from you (You used to sit next to each other but got moved for talking so much) and you watch as she takes out a pencil and a notebook and starts drawing something. Hera is an amazing artist and she always draws during class. You feel a little creepy staring at her but she probably wouldn't notice. She is so ditzy and adorable she would never notice something like that. Did you just think she was adorable… She is your best friend and nothing more. She has been your best friend since 8th grade and even if she does like you, you wouldn't be a good boyfriend. You don't even know what a girl wants in a boyfriend but you know that you aren't it and a beautiful girl like Hera can do so much better. You don't know if you are in love with her but the fact that you can't take your eyes of her and your brain just called her beautiful is pretty incriminating evidence that you do. "Like what you see there, Marx?" John, who sits behind you, asks with a snarky laugh. "Damn it Egbert wanna mess?" you say trying to keep up your tough guy image and preparing to throw a couple of punches Johns way because even though he is a friend of yours he was way out of line with that comment. "You might not want to hurt one of your beloved Hera's close friends right in front of her." John replied. You have to admit he is right. If you did beat the living shit out of him, Hera would probably never speak to you again since she tries so hard to help you control your crazy temper. Not to mention you would probably lose Rose as a friend for beating up her man. "John why the fuck have you, Strider and Crawford been such dicks about Hera and me lately. I don't even understand my feelings for her yet so don't keep fucking pushing things." You say and instantly regret it because you can see what John is gonna say from a mile away. "So there is a possibility that that little tough guy heart of yours is capable of feeling love for another person?" "I guess…" You have no words for John right now because you are embarrassed enough as it is. The bell rings and Hera struts over to your desks wearing the usual big, goofy grin she dons when she sees you. "Lets go find Rose and the others and get to the lunchroom I am dying to eat my sandwich. It's grilled chicken with tomato and mozzarella and you guys know that's my favorite!" and she rambles on and on about how hungry she is as she drags you by the arm out of the classroom towards the cafeteria. She is so fucking cute.
