“didn’t you already say you’re voting everybody black? just keep that energy and tori, obvi,” vanessa grinned. she could never really explain why prom meant so much to her, at least without sounding crazy from an outsiders perspective. vanessa had spent all high school climbing the social ladder, holding herself to the impossibly high plastic standards, and protecting her popular status at all cost. it would be embarrassing for her to do all that work at not win. prom culminated everything and it’d be tragic if this didn’t come to its logical end for her. “i mean, they are a cute couple in like a dweeby kind of way. and as for his hair, some girls don’t go for guys with fades. some of us like guys with hair,” vanessa teased. vanessa moved up on her tippy toes, going in for another kiss. there was always something about how vince looked at her that got vanessa going. “you say high maintenance like it’s a bad thing,” she joked, nudging the boy lightly.
“t’ll probably be salty if i don’t vote for his lil girlfriend. prolly thinks the crown is gonna increase his chances of gettin some” he shakes his head fondly at his little brother and the mere thought that the gears always seem to be turning in that kid’s head. “some of us?” there’s emphasis on the last word as he shoots her a quizzical look, detaches the arm slung around her shoulder to run it over his clean fade. “i mean shit if that’s what you like they still sell s-curl at the corner store” he’s joking, mostly, couldn’t get any respect around the way looking like 1982 michael jackson. but it doesn’t refute the fact that he’ll do anything for her. and it feels good to finally be in a place like this, where they can laugh and be light, and not have the weight of their issues to bog them down. “never that, baby. and i know you don’t need no man” he rolls his neck and makes a show of it. “but if you want a date i can’t imagine going with no one else”
