Hi y'all.
So, I feel kinda bad about not having posted a new chapter for so long. I've had a bit of a writers block, I guess you could say... Sorry. But I hope you'll enjoy this chapter, and hopefully the next chapter will be up sooner rather that later, LOL.

Tori's POV

Two days later – "Prome" night

I looked myself in the mirror again. I had had a hard time figuring out whether or not I wanted my hair up or down. I had finally decided to put it up, to show off my neck and the simple gold chain I was wearing. I had decided to go with a short, strapless, purple dress with a sequin bust line, and a full skirt with leopard print in light blue and purple. It showed off quite a bit of leg, which was good. My legs was one of my best features, besides my cheekbones.

I heard some whimper from Trina's room. She hadn't been able to find a date, even though 3 different guys had asked her. She had been too picky and turned them down, and now she was "sick", so she couldn't come.

I looked at the clock on my pearphone. Beck would be here any minute now. I prayed he would be decently dressed. I knew it was kind of selfish of me, but I just really wanted us to turn heads. I liked turning heads. But of course I knew Beck didn't really like to dress up all formal, which was also part of the reason why I had decided not to wear a long dress. Then I heard a honk. Beck was here. I grabbed my pearphone and my purse and hurried out of my room. I could see Trina peak out from her room to get a look at me.

I ran down the stairs and opened the door.
"Hi." Beck said. I looked at him, from top to bottom. Black jeans, no holes, black suit jacket, red tie... Red. Oh, no.

"Hi Beck." I said staring at the red tie and then down at my dress. "We don't match." I then said. He just stared at me.
"So?" he said.

"We're going to look so weird on photos." I said in a frustrated tone.

"Tori, who cares? Just get in the van, and let's go." he said with a harsh tone. I sighed and was about to head out the door when I realized something. Did he say van? I looked to the street and saw a white van parked outside my house.

"Why... Why are you picking me up in a van?" I asked. This night couldn't get any worse.

"My car broke down, so I borrowed this," he said and pointed to the white van, "from my dad's work." I sighed again as we got in the van. We drove a bit in silence.
"I think driving by the kindergarten will feel less awkward with you in the van with me." Beck said and then we were silent again.

Then I started laughing. "This is the most ridiculous prom ever." I said. And Beck laughed as well.

"Yeah, it really is." He said, and then he sighed. "You know, Tori, I know I'm going to sound like an ass now, but I was actually thinking about canceling with you tonight."

I looked at him, surprised. "Why?"

"I didn't really want to go. But I changed my mind."

"Why did you change your mind?" I asked him. And for a minute he didn't say anything.

"I met Jade the other day. In a store." he said. I waited for him to continue. "She was buying a dress for the prome."

"Oh." I said, still not sure I understood.

"It's just so wrong, Tori." he said, staring at the road.

"What do you mean?" I asked. How was Jade buying a prom dress wrong?

"All of this. It's wrong. This whole situation, Jade and I. It's wrong." he was upset, and I didn't know what to say.

"She has a date, Tori. And I need to know who it is. That's why I'm going. She wasn't supposed to move on first, but she did. That's what's wrong." he said and looked at me, glossy eyes. I was stunned. I had never seen him lose his cool. I couldn't say anything, I just kept staring at him, and he kept staring at me. I shot a quick glance at the road.

"Beck... The road. Watch the road." I mumbled. He looked back at the road. We sat in silence again. This was going to be a crazy night, I could feel. And not the good kind of crazy. I hoped Jade wouldn't show up. Maybe it would be better for Beck if he didn't see her. Suddenly he started laughing again. I stared at him.

"Jade was always the needy one... I guess the roles switched." he said.
