Make me Better ~Eddie Munson x Reader~

92. Useless thoughts

'If Munson doesn't go, I will! – Kyle Brotman'

'If you need a date, I will gladly escort you! – Alan Lewis'

'No girl deserves to go alone to prom! – Tyler H.'

I groaned and stuffed the letters into my bag. My hopes of Eddie actually asking me to prom were being squashed by the people that knew Eddie wasn't into any of this shit. I mean, I could tell him that I wanted to go with him, but... I would be MAKING him go with me, and I want him to WANT to go with me. I sighed as I grabbed my books for today, stuffing them into my bag as well and I looked up, seeing a freshman, blushing with a flower in his hand as he asked another girl to be his prom date.

That wasn't going to happen to me, wasn't it?

I shook my head and slammed the door of my locker shut and started my day. It was useless to think about it, because I didn't get an invitation yet, but I also didn't know if he wanted to go or not...

But what if he doesn't?

------------------------

By the time I had Biology, my mood had dropped, greatly. I saw so many promposals that I was getting sick of them, and I even talked to Chrissy and Robin had put a Giraffe plushie in her locker with a sign that said Prom? I groaned as I slumped into my chair, startling Eddie who was already in his place.

"Whoa, what happened?" He asked me and I shook my head, dissmisingly.

"Nothing..." I sighed as I took out my biology book. He was about to ask once more, and I knew it but Mrs. Laker interrupted us to begin our lesson. I was completely absent minded through it all, tapping onto my pen without noticing.

"That's my thing." I heard Eddie say and I turned my head to look at him. He was giving me a comforting smile and I sighed, smiling back to him. Maybe I could stay home with him that night, while everyone had fun, drank spiked punch, danced with their friends...

Ah, everything sucked. I really want to go.

"Attention students!"

We all looked up towards the speakers of the classes, my heart picking up a pace because I knew what would be happening right now.

"As you all know, Prom is coming close—"

Clapping erupted in the classroom, and many shushes for everyone to shut up ensued.

"And we need a Prom Queen and King for the night."

I mean, what are the chances people would still vote for me? I was a complete cunt to everyone for over 3 years.

"The nominees for Prom Queen are... Chrissy Cunningham."

Cheers came to the classroom and I smiled. I mean, Chrissy as Prom Queen is a sight and very well deserved.

"Janet Martinez."

My eyes widened as everyone whispered all around, how did Janet get in? I bet everyone was thinking the same thing I was... I mean, it's Janet.

"And our last nominee... Y/N Y/L/N."

I sat still for a second and I heard Eddie from beside me.

"Holy shit." Cheers erupted in the classroom as they turned around, clapping my way and I was simply struck by this. I would have thought that the only way for me to even be nominated was threatening everyone with my status... Not because I was actually liked. I wasn't that evil person no more, so I thought that my chances were just low... A sense of pride filled my chest, my lips turning into a wide smile as my cheeks flared up.
