Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

EMMaA’s POV : "Little Mermaid, Cinderella, or Princess Jasmine? Go ahead, pick one," Tiff brought over these costumes and laid them neatly on my bed.

The girls thought it'd be fun to dress up as sexy Disney princesses for this year’s Halloween homecoming dance was going as Elsa and Carrie as Belle.

Though it might sound tame, trust me, these weren't your average princess costumes.

"I don't know," I shrugged, much to Tiff’s dismay.

"I would go for Jasmine.That tube top and choker’'s gonna look great on you, Em," Carrie suggested.

"I mean I don’t know about going to the dance. Maybe I'm just not gonna go,"

I sighed and threw my body on the bed, right next to the costumes.

"What do you mean you're not gonna go? We were gonna be sexy princesses.And you even promised Ryan you'd go with him," Tiff reminded.

"As friends," I added quickly.

"Why don’t you wanna go to the dance, Em? What's eating you up?" Carrie asked, ever the caring friend she was.

"I'm not really in the mood to, you know, dance.I just wanna curl up in my bed and binge-watch something on Netflix," Carrie arf Tiff exchanged a worried look.

"Em, I know things have been hard for you, especially with Zach and everything—" Carrie started.

"But you can't let that son of a bitch ruin your junior year.Stop mauling over his stupid ass and come to the dance with us,"Tiff finished.

"It'll be fun.We'll all be there," Carrie said as she sat next to me and started caressing my hair.

"Okay, let's make a deal.We all go to the dance, but if you're not having fun, we'll all come back home with you and watch Netflix and order pizza,"Tiff made one hell of an argument.

My friends were so excited about this dance, I felt bad being the Debby downer in the group.So I took a deep breath and looked over the costumes once again.

"Fine,"I sighed finally,

"I'll take Little Mermaid,"

"Yes!"Carrie and Tiff cheered in unison.

The little mermaid costume was made up of this shell bikini looking thing and a high slit long green sequin skirt. I must admit, it was a sexy outfit and it highlighted all the right curves of my body.

The night of the dance finally came.

Tiff, Carrie, Mark, and I made our way into decked out the auditorium.

The disco ball was shimmering, music was in full swing, and people in all sorts of costumes were dancing, laughing, and having a ball.

"Hey, you made it," Ryan strode over to us as soon as he saw me.

He dressed up as Prince Eric because I told him I was Ariel. 

"Hey," I greeted him back and he immediately leaned in for a kiss on the cheek.

My friends looked at each other awkwardly as I pulled away from him.

"Guys, let's get some drinks," Mark proposed and we all agreed.

As we made our way to the refreshment area, I noticed a tall, handsome dark haired guy standing in a suit.

He looked way too cool and proper to be a student.My heart ached as soon as I caught his eyes and he caught mine.Mr.Hayes could wear anything and still look like a million bucks.

Next to him was none other than Ms.Diaz.

She was wearing a red strapless dress, showcasing her gorgeous long legs that could go for miles.

She was whispering something to his ear, and she was giggling.

She was radiating happiness of joy.

The total opposite of what I was feeling right now.

This is exactly why I didn’t want to come in the first place.

I downed my drink and looked away quickly.

I wished I could tell my friends that I want to go home already, but that wouldn't be right.

They were enjoying themselves, I didn’t want to ruin their night.
