Drella

Now I know I've secured myself a place I'm not as stressed. I'm not in Art class until six every night. I think everyone's happy that I'm not shouting at them to let me do my final piece as well.
Everyone is consumed with prom which is next week. I've never really liked school dances, I prefer parties. But recently I can't go anywhere without hearing about it. At my old school it wasn't a problem if you didn't have a date. But here it seems to be a big deal. I obviously can't ask Jaime. Besides, he has his new girl. Her name is Jess and I think she looks a lot like Marilyn Manson. I can't ask Vic because he's taking Hannah. I'm sure Mike would come with me if he thought he'd get a real kiss out of it. But it's seniors only.
When I was on my way to our lunch spot I saw Mike leaning up against the wall outside the girls bathroom. I went up next to him and he nodded at me. "Are you waiting for victims?" I teased.
"No, I've been following Sophie,"
"Who's Sophie?" I frowned.
"In my grade. Red hair. Huge tits,"
"Not ringing a bell. Sorry," I shrugged.
"She's hot," he explained.
"Got you," I nodded. "Why are you stalking her?"
"Her parents are out of town. I'm cornering her so she'll invite me over,"
"I feel sorry for her," I grinned. "Anyway, Vic told me about the graduation party,"
"Oh yeah," Mike smiled goofily. "I'm so stoked,"
"And it's just you and Vic?" I asked.
"Yeah. Vic and I at a club with loads of seniors. Him doing vocals and guitar and me doing drums. Can't wait,"
"About time,"
"All because of you," Mike replied before he followed a girl with huge boobs that had just walked out of the bathroom. I started heading outside when someone stopped me. I turned around and saw Tony.
"Hey," I smiled. "Why didn't I see you? I'm just headed out now,"
"I need to ask you something," Tony rushed.
"Go ahead," I urged.
"Uh . . . Okay," he muttered. Tony scratched his face nervously and started to play with his hair.
"Tony?"
"Who's taking you to prom?"
"Nobody," I sighed.
"Me too," he frowned. "Do you want to . . .?"
"Go together?"
"As friends?" he asked.
"As long as it's as friends," I agreed.
"Great. I'll call you tonight to discuss girl stuff,"
"As long as you don't mean my cycle that's fine," I said casually.
"Ew, Drella," he muttered before he jogged away.
The night of the prom I was ready and on my way to Vic's house where the limo was picking us all up. I had chosen a dark red dress with black lace covering it. It came down in a heart shape at my chest. It hugged my waist and hips until it came out a little at my thighs, the hem just skimming the floor. My hair was up and my eyes were dark. I got out of the car and went to the door. Mike opened it and looked me over.
"Aren't you an accident waiting to happen," Mike commented as he let me in.
"Thanks,"
"You should show cleavage more often. I think it'll improve my fantasises,"
"I'm just working for the cause," I joked. We went into the sitting room and I found everyone waiting for me. I went over to Vic looking smart in his tux. He hugged me and I smiled.
"You look beautiful, Ella," Vic whispered in my ear.
"You too, handsome," I laughed. I went around everyone and came to Tony. "Ready, Mr Date?" I asked.
"Ready," he nodded. Tony put his arms out and I collapsed into them. He laughed and we started swaying. He let me go and we all started walking outside. My eyes lit up at the limo and we gathered outside it. Mike was standing in front of us with a camera. We had a group photo and then the couples had turns.
"Vic, Drella! Have a photo!" Mike called. Vic pulled me to him and wrapped his arm around me. We both grinned and Mike took the photo. Then Vic kissed my cheek for the last photo. We all went into the limo and I sat in between Tony and Vic.
When we arrived we all went inside. We were all linking arms until we got into the dance hall. The music was pounding and there were drinks stretched out across a table. I grabbed Tony's hand and forced him onto the dance floor.
Later that night Vic pulled me away from Tony. I took his hand and Vic started leading me outside. I sat down on the wall and he joined me. I smiled at Vic and he tried to smile back. I leaned against his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around me. "What's up?" I asked.
"I need to talk. I just really need a hug,"
"Come here," I said. I pulled him to me and he rested his head in the crook of my neck. I rocked him gently and Vic sighed. "Tell me," I urged. Vic pulled away a little and lay down on the wall. He rested his head in my lap and I ran my fingers through his hair.
"Me and Hannah are breaking up," he said flatly.
"No. Why?" I sighed.
"She's studying in France. We can't do things. I'd never be able to do long distance,"
"If you tried you could," I said. "I know it,"
"No. I don't want to, Ella,"
"Okay, I know," I soothed.
"Promise you'll never just go. I can't do without my best friend,"
"You can Vic," I sighed.
"No, even if I make it big. I want you to come with me," he said. I rubbed my eyes and sighed. I covered my face and Vic sat up. "Hey," he muttered.
"I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry, Vic," I muttered.
"Shhh . . . " he said and held me.
"I'm leaving," I breathed.
"What do you mean?" he laughed.
"The day after graduation I'm going back to New York,"
"You got in," he smiled sadly. I nodded weakly and cried harder. "I can't believe it. You did it,"
"I'm sorry. I'm leaving you. I bet you hate me,"
"No," he shook his head. "One month," he added grimly.
"One month," I agreed. Vic wiped his eyes and I watched him. He pulled me for a hug and I rested my head against his chest. One month.
