Chapter Fifteen

Axl and I spent the rest of the night talking and laughing, dancing to the songs we liked and sitting down for the songs we didn't. It was during one of the songs we didn't like, that I was pulled aside by Brittany. I stared at her in confusion, wanting to get back to Axl.

"What?" I asked her as I saw her holding back a smile.

"Promise you'll tell me all about it." She giggled, pausing to shoot a flirty smile over her shoulder to a cute guy walking past.

I blinked. "What?" I repeated. "What are you talking about?"

She laughed and leaned closer. "You know what I'm talking about."

"I really don't." I peered closer at her, seeing she was desperately trying not to laugh.

She leant closer aswell, eyes glinting in anticipation. "It's prom night." She grinned as though this was the answer to my questions. She rolled her eyes at my blank face and spun me around so that I was looking at Axl and his friends who were fooling around near the punch bowl. "What do you see?"

I scrunched my face up in confusion. "Um, is that a trick question?"

She sighed in annoyance. "You are useless." She declared. "What you see is your boyfriend." She shook me gently. "It's prom night!"

"I don't understand what your point is."

"Tonight's the night!" She squealed. "You and Axl as gonna..."

"Gonna what?" I stared at her, until suddenly I got it. Tonight was prom night and he was my boyfriend. She was asking me to tell her how it went when me and Axl had sex? I hadn't even thought about that! I stared at Axl, feeling a new round of nerves settle in my stomach. Brittany smiled when she saw that I finally understood what she was talking about.

"So, are you going to?" She persisted.

"Brittany!" I scolded. "I haven't even thought about that!" I gasped as a thought came over me. "Do you think that he's planning on it?" I asked, wringing my hands together and staring at the ground.

She scoffed. "Are you kidding me, he's a guy. He's probably been planning this since the two of you started dating."

I gulped, catching Axl's eye before he sent me a wink before replying to Darren. The two of them looked over and Brittany giggled before sending over a flirtatious wink which they took to be an invitation to join us. As soon as he was close enough Axl slipped a hand around my waist and handed me a cup of punch, which I promptly downed.

"No, no!" Axl snatched the cup way from me before I could drink the entire thing. "Sam, we just spiked the punch."

I gaped at him before hitting him in the stomach. "Then what the hell are you doing giving it to me!"

He stopped my hand from hitting him again, twisting it gently so that it was easier or him to intertwine our fingers. "I didn't know you were gonna down the thing!"

I rolled my eyes and gave the cup back to him, his hand started rubbing soothing circles where it rested on my waist. I turned to look at Brittany but she was fully engrossed in a conversation with Darren. The nerves came back full force when Axl, having shoved the empty cup at a random passerby, wrapped his other hand around me and pulled me in for a kiss.

Soon enough all of my nerves disappeared and I ran my hands through his soft curls, the kiss was beginning to get more passionate but we were interrupted by a cough from one of the chaperones. I blushed a bright red and unwound my hands from his hair, trying to take a step back but Axl's grip was too strong so all I could do was stand there awkwardly as Axl and Mr Blossom had a stare off.

It was broken by Mr Blossom's unhappy voice. "There will be no more of that if you wish to stay." I raised a hand to my mouth to stop the laughter I could feel bubbling up, we would definitely get kicked out if I started laughing now. Mr Blossom was one of those teachers who hated children, every student here has at some point wondered why he went into teaching, but alas, here he is and here we wish we weren't.

"Sorry Mr B." Darren smiled. "We'll make sure these two lovebirds don't do it again, right Britt?" Brittany nodded her blonde head hurriedly.

Mr blossom scowled. "See that they don't, and don't call me Mr B, my name is Mr Blossom, I expect you to use it."

We watched as he walked away and broke up another couple that was getting too friendly. "What a buzzkill." Axl complained. "Do you think we should give him some punch?" I laughed and pushed him gently then watched as he pouted at me. "Come on! It would be great! He needs to loosen up and get laid."

I blinked as memories of my conversation with Brittany came back but I pushed it away and laughed again. "We're surrounded by high school students, if he got laid here, it would be illegal."

Axl snickered, pulling me closer and gently taking my chin in his hand to make me look at Miss Gold, the English teacher. "I have reason to believe that he has a massive crush on Goldy here." I raised an eyebrow and tilted my head to look back at him.

"Seriously?"

He nodded and looked to Darren for back up. "Oh yeah, we heard from Shaun who heard from Jack who heard from Ashley who heard from Brittany who heard him on the phone." I turned to look at Brittany who nodded with a grin.

"That's enough evidence for me." I laughed. "Are we gonna slip him some punch or what?"

Five minutes later we were stood around the punch bowl, filling up countless glasses and waiting for the golden opportunity. When we saw Miss Gold back in the hall, we pushed Brittany forwards to go and give Mr Blossom the punch, knowing that he was more likely to take it from her than us three. Sure enough he accepted the glass and took a big swig, I knew from personal experience that you couldn't taste whatever alcohol the boys had slipped in there so we were safe in the knowledge that he would consume the entire glass.

We waited to see if it had some sort of effect and when it didn't, sent Brittany off with another cup. He drank the rest of it and now we could see that he was a lightweight, even I wasn't feeling it and I had downed a cup instead of those small sips that Mr Blossom was doing. Although I was finding myself leaning more and more into All for support. But that could have been that I was just tired. That's what I was going with anyway.

I watched in eager anticipation as Mr Blossom blinked quickly, touching a hand to his forehead before glancing around and catching sight of Miss Gold, who was standing close to us at the punchbowl, we quickly moved away as Mr Blossom came closer and stood next to her.

"Can I get you a drink?" He asked, holding out his own cup before setting it on the table, obviously harder than her thought as he jumped at the loud sound it made. Miss Gold grinned at the poor man and seemed to either take pity on him or like him back as she accepted.

Meanwhile, the students were taking advantage of the two chaperones not paying attention and requested a song that usually wouldn't have been allowed to play as it wasn't on the approved playlist.

"Let's dance!" Axl pulled me back onto the dance floor and we were soon back into the swing of having fun and dancing together. I laughed as he twirled me and pulled me closer, wrapping his arms around me and swaying even though it was a fast paced song.

"How much of that punch have you had?" I asked, laughing in amusement.

He snorted before planting a sweet kiss on my cheek. "I've had none, I'm our designated driver." He turned me around to brush some of the loose Baird out of my face and bent slightly to kiss my lips. "Do you want to get out of here?" He asked.

I gulped. Here it was, this was obviously a cue for what Brittany had told me what was going to happen. I trusted Axl but was I ready for such a big step? I placed my hand in his and nodded with a smile. Let's find out.

I wrote this chapter on a tablet so any random letters in words that aren't supposed to be there are because of that and because the spell check is a bit crap. If you see any mistakes feel free to let me know.
