Only One (Harry Styles fanfic)

Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Harry held his hand out for me as I climbed out of the hummer. Our fingers entwined, my heart pounding in top speed. Am I supposed to be this nervous? Liz and I exchanged smiles before walking towards the front of the hall. Harry gripped tighter to my hand as Jeremy looked me up and down, making me grimace in disgust. I laughed as I saw Poppy poke her middle finger up at him. "He can go to hell" Liz whispered, giving me a smile.

We waited anxiously for the doors of the hall to be opened. I watched as Poppy tremble nervously, Jordan comforting her every now and then with a kiss. The doors finally opened. I looked up at Harry, giving me a dimpled smile. "Shall we?" Louis asked, hooking Ellie's arm before facing us.

'We shall" Jordan replied, also hooking arms with Poppy.

We walked into the hall, the atmosphere around us crowded. There was no music yet but people were already starting to dance. What the hell? Harry kissed my forehead as one of his arms snaked around my waist. I watched as our principal stepped on the stage, grabbing a microphone. He made a few announcements, then the lights dimmed and music started.

"Will you dance with me madam?" Harry asked, lifting my hand up to his lips, leaving a kiss on it. I giggled at his cuteness. I was about to answer but then it hit me. I can't dance. Harry smiled at me, waiting for my reply.

"I can't dance" I admitted.

"Either, but we can always try" he answered, kissing my lips.

I giggled, "fair enough"

My head laid on Harry's chest, hearing the thump of his heartbeat as we danced to the slow music. This is perfect. It's like a dream. Being in the arms of the boy you love and dancing into the night. It's just kind of surreal. Now I see why Poppy was so excited.

The music faded as a spot light hit the stage again. I reluctantly pulled away from Harry, looking up to the stage where our principal stood. Harry held my hand as our principal began to speak. "I hope you're all having fun! it's half way through the night and you're probably all dying to know who is this year's prom king and prom queen are" he said, holding up an envelope, "and I have the results right here"

"Crap, I forgot to vote" Poppy said as Jordan wrapped his arms around her.

"I don't think it would've made a difference anyway" I laughed. We watched as our principal opened the envelope, pulling a piece of paper out.

"This year's prom kind and prom king are..." he paused, "but before I announce it, I would like to say it was very close, only by one vote"

Poppy shot me a look, "yeah, wouldn't matter hey Sel"

"Shut up" I joked as we looked back up to the stage.

"SO this year's prom king and queen are... Poppy Smith and Jordan Burke" he announced as Ellie, Liz and I screamed. Poppy froze in shock her body shaking. "Come onto the stage" our principal said as everyone clapped their hands and cheered. The three of us pushed Poppy forward as Jordan held her waist, leading her to the stage. Wow, I can't even imagine what's going through her mind right now! I mean, we totally forgot about prom king and queen. Although there wasn't anyone else that would have really been competition. I mean they are the school couple, not to mention they're engaged!

A crown was put on top of their heads, tears trailing down Poppy's cheeks. She's crying? She stepped in front of the microphone, holding the stand. "Wow, oh my god" she began as Jordan rested his hand on her waist, "this is amazing. I can't even begin to explain how I feel. Seriously, this is incredible. I've been excited for prom since forever, but I never thought I would be crowned prom queen. Thank you, thank you so much!"
