Why did I let Linh pressure me into coming here? This is so boring.
Maybe I should've danced with Marella, the evil side of my brain replied.
And let her think I like her? No way!
It might have added some excitement into your life.
Well, I don't want Biana getting mixed signals either.
True, true.
Though, I probably didn't need to worry about that if she was dating Dex. Which she most definitely was.
Maybe I should've danced with Marella.
But if Biana and Dex weren't actually dating, then I would've had a problem. Speaking of Biana…
She stood in front of me, spinning a gold bracelet around her arm.
"Hi," she said nervously, chewing her lip.
My heart skipped a beat. "Hi."
"So… How are you liking prom?" She began fidgeting with the hem of her dress.
"Meh. It's okay." I tried and failed to sound casual. "Why'd you come over here?"
"Are you with Marella?" she blurted.
"Me? No!" My face reddened. "Why would you think that?"
Wait a second. Did that mean she liked me?
"Are you with Dex?" I asked, needing to clarify.
"No! We just went as friends." Biana blushed.
As she said that, I saw Dex passing by, seemingly hearing what she said. His eyes widened.
I had no idea what to say next.
"What do you mean?" Dex asked, giving a nervous laugh, "We- we went as a date!"
"I thought we were going as friends?" said Biana, who looked confused.
"There are rumors going around that you guys are dating," I said quietly and probably very unhelpfully.
Biana looked shocked and betrayed. "What!? Dex, I-"
Dex rubbed his eyes, cutting her off "Sorry Biana, I- I have to go." He rushed away before either of us could say anything else.
