Hockey's Our Game

Chapter 21

“Why can’t I just wear my hockey skates? They give me enough heel and plus I’m already in a fancy ass dress” I asked my mom as I got into my prom dress.

I put it on and I looked in the mirror and it was a purple/blue dress. It was literally the same dress as Taylor Swift from her music video Our Song. I didn’t plan that either. It was strapless and tight fitting around the stomach and then flowed out but not too much. It was a mix of purple and blue in color and corset back, I fell in love with the dress when I saw it too. My hair was curled to perfection and some of it was pulled back making a bump in the back, Aunt Ansley did my hair and make-up. I had on winged eyeliner and mascara and eye shadow that was making a smoky effect but with a soft purple and blue.

“You’re already wearing spandex under your dress” she said trying to get me to wear heels.

“I’m not wearing the heels mom, I’m wearing my high tops” I told her putting them on “much better” I smiled.

“You’re impossible!” she yelled at me groaning.

“I could always just put on my uniform” I said and her eyes went huge.

“Don’t you dare” she said as I was holding up my jersey smirking at her “fine you can wear the high tops!” she yelled and I smiled and grabbed my jersey and put it on my bed.

“Tori are you done yet?” my dad yelled up the stairs “I want to go to the hotel now!”

I rolled my eyes “I’m coming”

“Good because you made Holden wait for like 7 years” he said.

“It was like 20 minutes because mom was trying to make me wear heels, the dress is enough” I said and started walking downstairs.

“Mia’s here with Blake” my mom yelled from downstairs too.

I came down the stairs and when Holden saw me and his eyes went huge and his mouth fell open. “Holy shit” he said and when I saw him my eyes went wide too because he looked really good in the tux.

“I should say the same” I said to him and I hugged him. I had the picture party at my house, there were like 15 couples here with their parents but it was fun. We got so many pictures, just the girls, just the guys, each couple, friends, all of us, so many different pictures. It was about an hour and a half later before we actually all left. Mia’s, Blake’s, Holden’s and my parents all went to Chicago for the night and are staying there because they ‘need a break from kids’ but I didn’t care.

We got to the school and we did the grand march and there were so many pictures taken there too. We loaded up the buses and there were 14 of them. I was by Mia, Blake, Nate, Kara, Simon, Paige, Alec and Alli. Our group was a table at prom too. It was an hour bus ride to the prom part, and once we got there we all piled out and went inside and sat at our tables. It was filled with pleasant conversations as we ate, we all talked about everything we could think of and it was fun and filled with lots of laughs.

“Hey Tori how come you don’t look any taller?” Alli asked me and everyone agreed.

“I’m not wearing heels, it took me 20 minutes to convince my mom I wasn’t wearing them” I smiled.

“What are you wearing then?” Kara asked.

I put my shoes on the table, classy I know “high tops” I smiled “if I could wear my skates I would have but that would ruin the blades” I put my feet back down “oh and spandex under my dress” I smiled again.

“What a keeper you are” Holden smiled and kissed my head.

“Well you’re not so bad yourself mister” I told him.
