The Life We Live

30.Prom

The next day they both wake up around noon.

"Fuck! We need to start getting ready!" Harlow says

McCray gets up slowly "Harlow.. we are men.. we don't take as long to get ready as women do."

Harlow sighs "that's true."

Once Raven woke up she sees Marvin at her door frame looking at her.

"I see that Harlow has asked you to prom?" He says

Raven nods "yes.."

Marvin huffs. "I hope you have fun... today is our off day."

Raven smiles "thats great.. especially for you."

Marvin smiles "it is a good day... I remember my last prom. It was glorious.." he reminisces

Raven looks down remembering his confession book, slightly cringes as she knows exactly what happened.

Marvin smiles at her "well I made breakfast."

Raven gets up and they eat breakfast together.

"Bacon and eggs are the greatest invention." Marvin says

Raven nods agreeing with him.

Marvin then looks up at her "well I guess we should go dress shopping, since Harlow took so long to ask you.."

"Shit! We need suits don't we!" McCray says

Harlow nods "thats why I wanted to start getting ready once we woke up."

McCray widens his eyes "I totally forgot!"

They both ran into McCray's car and drove to the mall. They walk into the tuxedo shop.

"Do you like it Raven?" Marvin asks.

Raven comes out of the dressing room wearing a baby blue floral dress. "I love it." She says

Marvin sighs "that's like the 10th dress you put on.. are you sure you dont want the purple one.."

Raven smiles "yes I'm sure.."

Marvin smiles "well alright let's go then.."

Harlow and McCray come out of the dressing room wearing practically the same tux. "Were wearing the same one.." McCray says

Harlow sighs "do you see this store... they're litterally all the same one.."

McCray sighs and spots a red floral tux "not all of them..." he grabs it and runs into the dressing room.

Eventually he comes back out. "Now this... this is sexy." He says

Harlow laughs "alright man let's check out then."

McCray fixes his tie and checks himself out in the mirror. They then take the suits off and check out.

As they walk out the mall Harlow speaks "these were really expensive... especially yours."

McCray sighs "im too poor for my taste, I know..."

Harlow laughs "me too though."

Later that day around six Harlow and McCray finish getting ready.

Harlow looks at McCray "how do I look?"

McCray smiles "like a god damn pimp.. what about me?"

Harlow nods "you never looked more fresh."
