The king
His entire grade stood before him, cheering and chanting his name. But he knew that if he won prom king, it meant that Mikaela won prom queen. He looked down at his peers before him. They were all dressed up in their suits and gowns, but his eyes were searching for a specific face.
When they finally landed on Mikaela, his smile faltered. She also knew what this meant, and now, she was filled with regret. She liked Ben, and she didn’t want this situation to compromise their blossoming relationship. Besides that, she was horrified at the idea of standing before a sea of students who disliked her.
