Me and JB 164

“Look, I think we have to get out of this limo and look like…..,” Joe trailed off.
“Like we’re strong and we don’t care that the people we really love are going to prom together?” I asked. Joe nodded and grabbed my hand.
“Let’s go,”. We got out of the limo and I forced a smile on my face. I was truly crying on the inside but, I bit my lip to stop the tears from falling on the outside. I secretly glanced back at Nick and Katie. Katie looked as if she were queen of the world, holding Nick’s hand and clinging on to him like he was a….a…cling on? Nick was starring and Joe and I. Oh my god. He was starring at us? I quickly whipped my head around and smiled at Joe.
“Just start laughing,” he said. I listened and started to giggle. Would it sound like he told a joke or something? Through the side of my eye, I looked back again. Nick and Katie were catching up with us. Katie, glowing. Nick, white as a ghost. Why, I wonder? Then, I felt someone tap my shoulder. It was Nick.
“Hey, Nick!” I said.
“Hi Joe!”
