"I can wait for your answer," Brett says. "take as much time as you need."
And with that, he left me hanging.
He closed the door and I just sat there, on my bed, thinking as hard as I could.
I've always liked Brett, but not in that way. He's always been like a brother to me. I don't know how I feel. I didn't expect this to happen at all.

"Mallory."
I turned around and saw Jayden. The guy that confused me.
"Jayden." I said.
He came up to me.
"I came here to think." He told me.
"Me too."
"What are you thinking?"
"About you.. and me." I answered.
"What are we?"
"I don't know, Jay."
"I like you. A lot. I couldn't stop thinking about you, Mallory." He says.
He leaned in and his lips touched mine. There was those fireworks and butterflies.
We both leaned back.
He said, "I lo-"
I woke up.
What kind of a dream was that? I wanted to forget him. He seemed to be coming back.

"WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKK?" Angelica exclaimed.
"SHHHHHHHH!" I shush.
"That must mean something!" She pointed one finger in the air.
"No, Angelica. You're over thinking."
"I am not, Mallory! You're not thinking!"
"Angelica..-"
"You need to talk to him ASAP!"
"About what?" I ask.
"About this!" She told me. "You're dream!"
"God, Angelica, it was just a dream. It was nonsense. I don't even know why-"
"You're nonsense, Mallory!" She accused.
"Angelica-"
"Mallory, I'm sorry, but I.. I really like you two together."
"There's something else I have to tell you." I said to her. "You're not going to like it."
"Despite the fact that you deny your likings towards Jayden." She said. "But what is it?"
"Brett.. and I.." I gulped. "kiss.. I'm sorry! I know you like him."
"Well..." she responded.
"You're not mad?" I asked.
"Well, did you like it?" She asks.
"No. I didn't feel anything." I told her truthfully.
"Swear?"
I nodded. "I wouldn't lie."
"I can trust you then." She says.
"Oh, so you're saying that you didn't trust me before?"
"I didn't say that, Mallory. You're my best friend. Even though I haven't been here long, you and I have gotten close."
"That's true. You're my best friend too. My only friend, actually. Besides Brett, of course." I told her.
"I really need and want to get adopted." she says. "I'm tired of being Brett's foster sister. It's like he's friend zoning me."
"I'm sorry." I said. "But I'm sure you two can work it out."
"You mean me."
---------------------
"You look stunning!" Angelica complimented me.
That's right. Tonight was Prom. Tomorrow was Graduation Day. I went to school today and Jayden did not talk to me at all. Which was good, I think.
"Well, you did help me." I told her.
"I applied for the college." She told me. "We both got accepted!"
"To the same one?" I ask.
She nodded excitedly.
"Now, how do I look?" she asks me.
"You look perfect." I answered.
"Really? Okay, good. But, you look 10000000x better."
I scoff. "Like I said, you helped me."
I was wearing a red tube dress. Black seemed to be the color of the night. I was wearing black heels that goes along with it and matched.
"I think you'll look better with red lipstick." She says.
"Ya think?" I ask.
"Yes, change that nude color to red. You're smoky eye is hot!"
I changed my lipstick color and we head to Prom.
I seriously can't believe this is happening. Graduating is tomorrow. Prom, tonight. Craziness.
