old standrew fic i never finished
this was based on one post that i’m too lazy to find rn:P
note that it isn’t finished and hasn’t been continued since feb 7 2019,,,,,,,, it’s an alternate timeline and takes place in high school lol enjoy:D
“Who are you going to prom with?” Steven looks at his friend with a confused daze, continuously eating on his food. “What?”
Ryan looks at his friend then at Shane, back at to Steven with the same deadpan look as before. “You’re going to prom or no?” He asks once more and slowly Steven took what he meant, swallowing the french fry he recently just picked and ate.
“I..don’t know. I’m still trying to find a partner.” He lies to both of them which makes them both nod in understandment. Steven didn’t forget the promise he did to them to finally join them in prom but he did forget he needed a partner. He could just go partner-less, right? Although, becoming a third wheel is not his forte, maybe someone to be with would make him look less unfortunate in the crowd.
“Alright, I’ll see you guys later.” The bell will ring soon ordering for them to be at their classes next, but it wouldn’t hurt to be a little to be a little early, was it?. The two guys nodded and waved at him as they went on separate classes. Steven sighed and walked to his class.
Prom was going to be in a week. In a week, he’ll still have no partner to be with. He wasn’t Zach that was pretty outgoing and would love to have as much friends. Although Steven liked having friends, it’s just that he was the opposite of outgoing and confident on making some. His friends were miracles, if you have to put that in a way like that.
Steven brushed his dyed hair and before he walked into his next class, a hand on his shoulder stopped him making him slightly flinch. As he turns around, a familiar face happen to appear in the scene. Andrew Ilnyckyj. School’s most mysterious and well-known jock in the school.
“Uh, hey, Steven.” He mustered out, removing the hand from Steven’s shoulder and used it to rub the nape of his neck. “Oh, hello Andrew.” Steven said in the same friendly voice as always, which made Andrew feel like he was melting, only he wasn’t. He had the smile that could make his knees go weak and go gelatin all over the school tiles. Only it wasn’t going to happen.
“About, the, uh-” Another figure is seen in the picture, Eugene, patted Andrew hard on the back making him move forward a little towards Steven. Somewhere, someone just sighed in the background, taking in all of this scene.
The bell rang, now signalling classes are back and making Steven turn around to forget the awkward interaction between him and Andrew. It was no doubt he likes him, but of course, Andrew was pretty known more with the ladies in a dating or relationship kind of way. Of course he wouldn’t have a chance with him, Steven thought.
“Goddamnit, Eugene! I’ll kill you!” Andrew roared in the background which made Eugene’s laughter blend in the background. As Steven walked, he could see Adam leaning against the lockers looking at him. Steven eyed him curiously but Adam just sighed and walked away.
Weird. Steven thought to himself. He walked into his class and sat down on his usual seat next to Sara. Maybe I could get Sara as a partner for prom. Steven poked her arm making her turn around.
“Hey Sara.” He smiled at her in which she returned back. “You have anyone to go with for prom?” Steven titled his head and whispered to her as the teacher walked in. A look of sadness filled he face with pity and guilt written all over it.
“Ah, sorry, Steven, I already have someone to be with.” She invisibly pointed at Niki at the other side of the room with her face and mouth, which made him disappointed. He should’ve noticed sooner and asked someone earlier because he knew that most will not be available to be with, other than the possibility of him being the plus one of both of them.
“If you want, we could go as a trio!” Sara beamed which made her nearly fall of her chair, gaining stares and a threatening glare from the teacher. “Sorry.” She mumbled, fixing herself while the teacher returned back to what they were doing in the first place.
Steven scrunched his face in an unknown expression, maybe embarrassment? “Ah, it’s okay. Thanks for the offer anyways.” He held a hand up which made Sara nod and finally focus her attention to the person in front.
He, however, just tapped with his fingers on his desk continuously and silently, trying not to make any much noise in the room as most of them seemed pretty silent and attentive.
Who should I ask? He thought to himself for what it seemed like the umpteenth time. He looked around the room where people seemed to be occupied by many things happening in one setting. Becky was probably out of the question as everyone knows she’s with Keith, fighting against Ariel and Ned for Prom King and Queen perhaps.
Maybe Rie or Alix. Brenda? Can I also ask males out? No, maybe most of them have dates already. Is Zach available? Brandon?
Steven snapped out of his daydream as the teacher called his name. He apologized quick and looked back on the textbook on his small wooden desk. Somehow he couldn’t focus. How about Andrew? He shook his head. No. Why would he go for someone like me? He’s a jock, that’ll be hard.
As he sighed out loud, the bell rang. Students along him stood up and fixed their things to finally get out of the class and to their other ones. He could see Adam’s back walking towards to his with Andrew’s by his side. They were talking to one another while Steven just walked behind them.
Bianchi turned his head to face Steven which got him surprised. “Hey Steven.” Adam nonchalantly says while the Malaysian just waved sheepishly at him which also made Andrew turn around. Well, let’s just say he wasn’t expecting to turn around and see him there. “Have the same class as us, right?” Adam was talkative when alone with people he likes to be with, so Steven is alittle stoked there. He still nods in agreement nonetheless, making Adam grin and gaze up to Andrew who was definetely feeling hot.
Adam moved to the left making Steven be in the middle. Andrew kept looking at Adam as he has panic written across his face but Adam just gives him the You’ll be fine, it’s your chance. look which did not make Andrew lessen his panic right there. They managed to reach the room and instead of sitting in their usual seats, except Steven, Adam and Andrew sat beside him. With Adam on Steven’s left and Andrew on his right.
Ilnyckyj, however, was questioning why Adam can’t be his seatmate so he could get an earful. He was thinking along the lines of What the fuck are you doing? and You’re the worst friend to existence, scratch that, you’re a stranger to me. but he contemplated and came up with not doing it, even in private.
“Uh, Steven-” The teacher came in class before Steven could even turn his head to Andrew and let him continue. Andrew slumped down on his seat. Why can’t the world cooperate?
