never in a million years did you think that you'd be dancing with ethan in the middle of the school gym. although it smelled of dirty socks and sweat, the romance in the air was pungent.

grayson was standing by the snack table with becky eyeing you and ethan. he felt sick to his stomach as he saw you having a good time with his brother. he knew ethan didn't deserve you. after all, ethan wasn't a good guy at all. but of course, you never knew that.

ethan whispered something delicate in your ear and you shyly giggled.

"i can't believe you said no and yes to homecoming with me. what made you change your mind?" you asked ethan as you both swayed back and forth.

he shrugged. "i guess it wasn't fair to you. i haven't had the best of days, y/n. and when you asked me i said no because i knew i didn't deserve the happiness that came along with you."

"what have you done that's been so bad? even your own brother begged me not to go with you, he says you're nothing but trouble."

ethan looked everywhere but your eyes as he spoke. "when i was a junior, i had this girlfriend that nobody knew about. she did things to me that have seriously fucked me up. she broke my heart and i stared acting out by getting into fights and by not showing up to school. i stopped talking to my family for a while and i just gave up on everybody, including gray.

"me and him hardly talk like we used too. i guess that's why he resents me because he wants the old ethan back instead of this old broken one. which i can agree too. nobody likes broken boys like myself."

you shake your head and brush a couple of hair off his forehead. "that's not true. broken boys are the best boys to love. they may take effort, but they're always the best."

his eyes change a darker shade of brown and he brings to lean in. you begin to lean in also till you can feel his cool breath on your lips. he pulls you in closer and your lips meet each other. he rubs his thumbs over your cheeks as he takes more of you in. his tongue runs along your bottom lip before he pulls away and rests his head on your head.

"woah," he chuckled.

"woah indeed," you laugh in reply.
