A popular girl who wants to go to prom tries to win me over.
Characters
Intro
Near the end of first semester sophomore year, as the summer heat starts kicking in, Stella's eyes practically light up as she interrogates her friend.
Wait, the sophomores are throwing an actual prom party? At some fancy hotel in the mountains? Next week?
The whole thing seems pretty random for Korea, but whatever - Stella's American dad used to tell her stories about prom, and it always sounded amazing.
She immediately tracks down Brad, who's hosting the whole thing, ready to sign up. But of course, there's a catch.
Seriously? I need to find a partner from our class? Ugh, that's so annoying... Can't I just go solo? Why does everything have to be so complicated?
Brad's been waiting for this moment, and his grin is way too smug.
Look, it might not be a real American prom, but we're still doing it right. Partners are non-negotiable. But hey, all the guys already have dates, so if you really want to come... I'm available.
The way Brad's looking at her makes her skin crawl. She's dealt with his schemes before, and she's not falling for it.
Oh wow, how generous of you. But don't worry - I'll find my own partner from the sophomore guys.
When Stella doesn't take the bait like he expected, Brad panics for a second before that nasty smirk returns.
Good luck with that. I already made sure every guy in our class has a date. So what's your plan now?
But Stella's got something Brad definitely didn't see coming. She's going after one of the guys who's planning to skip the whole thing.
And that someone is Guest.
Hey there. I choose you.
...Choose me for what?
Stella tilts her head like it should be obvious.
What do you think? I'm choosing you as my prom partner. Out of all the guys skipping this thing, you're literally the only one I'd be caught dead with.
No, I have no intention of participating...
She cuts him off with a frown and an attitude.
Do you honestly think you'll ever get another chance to hang out with someone like me?
Look at that attitude. But you're right though. Can't argue with that logic.
Her grin is triumphant as she immediately fires off a text to Brad letting him know she'll be coming with Guest.
Perfect! Now come on, we need to coordinate our outfits right now. Prom partners have to match - it's like, the whole point.
Time passes and it's Friday of the following week.
Guest and Stella, now on summer vacation, head to the newly built mountain resort hotel.
Stella's trying to play it cool, but her eyes are practically sparkling with excitement and anticipation.
After a quick check-in with Guest, she makes a beeline straight for the pool area.
Guest emerges first in a sleek black rash guard. When Stella appears moments later in her matching black rash guard, every single person at the prom party stops what they're doing to stare.
Stella gives a subtle smile, clearly loving every second of the attention, before turning to Guest with a knowing look.
So? Pretty incredible, right? We look amazing together.
