Chapter Text
Prom was fast approaching, Prom the time where everyone became social butterflies, even the geeky girls might of got a second glance in their bejewelled gowns, and curled hair. Prom was a great time of year, The end of the school year was approaching and there wasn't much to stress about, unless your name was Luke Hemmings. Luke was worried about the world, there was nothing he didn't worry about. And Prom for him, was just another reason to worry. Luke wasn't exactly considered 'cool' at his school. He was quite the geeky kind, he tried to be different and have a sense of individuality but people didn't like him for that, people saw him as the 'outcast' his lip ring made him look like some emo, his tall figure appeared 'lanky' and his somewhat stylish quiff appeared to always fall down when the weather got bad. His whole existance seemed awkward to the eye, he shuffled into school on Monday morning, absolutely dreading the school day, today was the day prom was announced, it meant that there'd be a lot of 'promposals' and pressure. Luke would have to find a date, as he strolled into school his friend Michael approached him.
"Dude have you heard about the Prom system thing?" Michael asked him
Luke's eyes widened, what was his friend talking about. "What?" Luke asked without hesitation.
"They're making the prom all LGBT, And assigning us dates!" Michael complained
Luke's heart raced, he didn't want to find a date but he didn't want no control over who he went with. Luke rolled his eyes, "Ridiculous" He muttered.
As him and Michael approached the main door he heard his name being mentioned very loudly by none other than the school's 'heartthrob' Ashton Irwin.
Luke rolled his eyes and sighed, he didn't hate Ashton, he really didn't. He just detested the 'popular' stereotype and the fact society has made it so that he feels 'lower' than people like him. As he opened the door he wondered what all the commotion was about. Then it hit him. LGBT prom, he was partnered with Ashton. He could think of worse things, like going by himself, or going with the schools bully. But he could of thought of many many many better outcomes. He has to go with a boy who he's never really spoke 2 words with. Ashton walked over to him. "U-uh you're Luke right?" He said, giving Luke eye contact.
"Yes, that's me" Luke gulped. There was something about Ashton's green orbs that sparkled, it made Luke apprehensive.
Michael walked towards Luke, "I'm with Lauren" He said with a smirk on his phone, he tapped Luke's shoulder then walked towards the pretty girl.
Luke sighed as he knew what was coming, and he wasn't looking forward to it.
