Problems (EDITING)

#28. Prom part 1

Hey! Ima make this one as long as possible!! I'm sorry for not updating in over a  month!!

Don't hate me!! I love y'all!

This is Alma's makeup. Her hair is curled and in a pony. She is wearing blue nail polish.

ALMA'S POV

Dad hugs me, he came home yesterday, just to see me go to Prom, and, I have a bad feeling about it, 'talk to that boy'. The doorbell rings, and he goes to open it.

Mom just finished my makeup and hair, all I need to do is slip on the dress and I'm ready to go.

I grab the dress, and mom helps me slip it over my head.

I look in the mirror and twirl. Ismike at my reflection, and mom stands beside me.

"Thanks mom, I love you." I mumble, as I wrap her in a hug. She looks surprised, but, really, I would be too.

"Oh honey, it was nothing.* She mumbles. I hear talking, and then laughter, which I take as a good sign.

Mom gives me one last squeeze, and shoos me out the door. I walk down the stairs, and I can tell the exact moment that Ruben and dad see me, because I hear a 'wow' from Ruben, and a whistle from my dad.

Ruben stands up, and he's so breathtakingly handsome that, for a moment, I forgot my surroundings. Not really, but it sounded like the cheesy thing to say. He is dressed up really nice, and still really handsome.

He wraps me in a hug, and I hear a click.

"Oops. How do you work this thing?" My dad says innocently, looking at me and holding up his phone. I laugh.

"Daaaaad." I groan. "Come on, at least let us pose."

He grumbles something about us being too cute together, and how he just couldn't resist, but holds off anyways.

Mom walks down, and I stand beside Ruben as my mom and dad, and Rubens mom (whom I hadn't seen) took pictures.

"Make it look like you guys are in love!" My mom says. "Kiss or something." Not needing to be told twice, Ruben pulls me close to him and kisses me. Just a close-lipped brush of his lips against mine, but it still sent electric shocks down my spine and throughout my body.

"Okay, let's get this show on the road! Where are you two going to eat?" I looked at dad.

"Well, actually, we weren't planning on going out to eat, we just want to go to Prom." I tell him.

"What?" He says, laughing. "Seriously dad, its not that big a deal." I tell him.

I glance at the clock. "We still planning on that?" I ask Ruben.

"Of course." He also looks at the clock. "So we still have a half hour to kill." He mumbles.

We sit, talking. Ruben leans over. "So, Alma." He whispers in my ear.

"Hmmmm?"

"I have been invited to an after party. Well, quite a few, but there's only one o want to go to. You game, or nah?"

"Definitely. I'm in the mood to get totally trashed."

"What are you two lovebirds planning over there?" I look at Ruben. "Well, dad. Me and Ruben-"

He cuts me off. "Sir, I've been invited to an after party, and I was wondering if Alma could come." I balked. I thought he was going to make up a cover story.

"Will there be alcohol?"

"Yes sir, there certainly will."

"What about drugs?"

"No sir, I do not do drugs of any kind, including tobacco. Neither do the people hosting this party."

He looks at my mom.

She looks at him.

I sit there, looking at my mom, looking at my dad, looking at my mom. I could tell that they were talking about it, thinking it through.

Dad looks at Ruben. "Yes Mr. Shaddox. She may go." He thanks my dad, then we excuse ourselves, slipping out into my (for the night) truck. Ruben is driving. I smile at him, and he gives me a lopsided grin back. We pull into the lot, and notice Prom in full swing.

"Fashionably late."

"Just like you were into my life." He says, then we both laugh at his joke.

We walk in, turning a couple of heads, but most are too preoccupied grinding or making out. I wince. "And thy aren't even intoxicated." I mumble to Ruben.

***skip the rest of the actual Prom, cause I've never been, and have no clue what goes on there.***
