Alicia’s POV.
“So how was it? Come on, tell me, Alicia.” Amelia shuddered as she kept on poking me.
“It was nothing.” I responded as I stared at her.
“Then where did he take you out to? You think I wouldn’t find out? So now you keep things away from me? What happened to us being besties?” She scowled as she looked at me.
“Come on, Amelia!! Can you not start now? Trust me when I say, I had a really stressful night and he just took me to his place to introduce me to his family because I was now his personal assistant.” I responded as I looked at her.
There was absolutely no way I could bring myself to telling how that Liam Bohen was dead. I still had some difficulty in believing that he was dead not until I saw him lying in the casket.
Throughout that night, throughout the burial, I felt nothing but pity. I guess in the long run, I may see a whole new impression on who they are. Yesterday, they all looked like saints.
I guess karma was only paying them for all the crimes they had committed and gotten free from. But then, I still couldn’t understand who was behind his death. Why would someone murder him? And how come it was that easy? Why were they keeping it a secret? What were they hiding?
Different questions flooded my head as I sat down there. I was confused. And I felt I wasn’t really ready for this yet.
“Are you okay?” Amelia’s question brought me back to reality.
“Yeah, yeah I’m fine.” I responded with a smile.
“So have they discussed your payment tag?” She looked at me.
“Not yet. But I know it will be a good pay.” I shuddered.
“Of course. Why not? When you are the personal assistant to Logan, your crush or your sudden stalker. How did you even get to gain his attention?” She probed as she stared at me.
“Not again, Amelia. Why are you this interested about Logan and I?” I turned to her. “I told you, we have nothing going on. And there can never be as well. I have no interest in being part of their family.” I rolled my eyes as I looked at her.
“I hope so too.” She snapped as she got up. “So, how are you preparing for the prom night? Gotten any outfit yet?” She questioned as she smiled broadly.
“Nothing yet. I will just go through my closet and pick up any dress there.” I said as I brought out my phone from my pocket.
“What? Tell me you are just joking?” She chuckled softly. “The last time I checked your closet? Girl, trust me, I won’t lie, they are not giving at all. So, roll it off and better get something girlish and also, stylish. And hey, no nerdy looks, no glasses as well tomorrow and no sneakers as well.” She went on and on listing all the dressing styles I do go with.
“You know I can’t do without my glasses, right? So there is no way I’m doing away with it tomorrow either!!” I scowled as I looked at her.
“You know what? I will handle your outfit for tomorrow and also, girl, you need some light makeup as well.” She said as she turned to look at me. “You need to look sexy for once in your life.” She snapped as she stared at me.
I rolled my eyes, saying nothing to her as I continued scrolling through my reddit.
“There will be an online vote today. We’ll be voting for who will be the prom king and then, we will be doing something exciting this time around as it is our last prom night party in high school.” Amelia muttered.
“So, when we get to choose our prom king, we will give him the honor to as well, choose his prom queen by himself. This is without any vote. As the king, he should know what is best for him.” She added again and this time around.
“And… I am fully aware that they will make Logan the prom king but the question is, who will be his queen?” She chuckled softly. “I guess Jessica Winterfalls won’t be the prom queen this time around because if Logan Bohen becomes the king, he is definitely going to choose you as his prom queen.” She poked as she chuckled again.
“Why are you this interested in the prom night? I may not even attend and you are fully aware of it.” I raised my eyes as I looked at her.
“Come on, Alicia. This moment won’t ever come again. I know you always missed out on end of level prom nights but this one? This is really special. And, you could make new friends as well. You don’t have to be all serious always and by the way, you now have a good job I wished I had. I would have been looking for a good apartment already. Heaven knows.” She sneered.
“Okay fine!! I’m coming but on my own terms.” I responded.
“Your terms? Hell no!!” She snapped immediately. “Oh! The election just started already.” She said excitedly and I watched her cast her vote for Logan.
She was right, if he won, there was every chance of me being his prom queen or maybe not. I rolled my eyes as I brushed it off my mind. “There was definitely no way he would leave all those classy girls and choose me.” I scowled as I continued going through my reddit.
Amelia kept on with the whole contest and Logan was coming third. “Why isn’t he getting a lot of votes? He hasn’t even voted for himself yet!! How arrogant.” She cursed as she went to his profile. “He is even online. I guess he isn’t interested after all. Oh! The bitch, Jessica, voted for him too.” She scoffed.
It was few minutes left to the end of the contest and he was now taking second but Gregory, one hell of a super hot dude was still topping the list.
