Zach's POV:

"how do I look?" I stepped out of the dressing room.

Fred was half asleep on the couch outside.

"huh? Oh, um, well... don't take it personally, but you look... very gay" he said.

I pouted.

"Why are you offended? You are gay though..." Fred said.

"well, yeah... but it wasn't my intention to look gay," I said.

"uh, I guess it's just because of the color of the suit. I don't think anyone ever wore a white suit for prom since 1980 or something..." he said.

I sighed.

"ok, how about light blue?" I asked.

Fred rolled his eyes.

"that's even gayer"

"I don't want to wear a black suit, it's boring!"

"it's not boring! Black is the best color!" Fred defended.

"black is not a color" I mumbled.

"shut up, just go and change already"

---------------------------------

It took us some time, but in the end, I gave up to Fred and finally chose my prom suit.

It was containing black blazer and pants, black shiny shoes, a white buttoned-up shirt, with a light green tie and matching light green handkerchief since it was my favorite color.

"so what is Olivia wearing?" I asked.

Fred and I were done with our prom clothes and just hung out around the mall.

"I don't know, she doesn't allow me to see it till prom night, she just said the corsage should be pink..." he said.

"wow, she's acting crazy, like it's a wedding dress or something..." I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, I know"

"is she still mad about me?"

"furious, I think," he said.

I sighed.

"I had to speak up eventually," I said.

"I know, I already told you I'm not mad"

"was she mad when you told her you're going shopping with me?"

"Nope, she just said, 'have fun' and that's it" he replied.

Fred and I sat down by the food court.

"hungry?" I asked him.

"not really, but you can get yourself something to eat if you'd like," Fred said.

I nodded and went to order some McDonald's.

When I headed back to the table with my food, I saw from far the Fred was talking to someone.

Brian.

What is he even doing here? I thought he has football practice this afternoon!

Their conversation died as soon as I got closer to the table.

Obviously, they were talking about me. I'm not stupid.
