It was the day before prom. I had so much done. Colt had rented us a limo for the night. I had my dress and shoes and jewelry. I just got my nails done to match my dress. I was about to pick up Colt's boutonnière. Layla agreed to do my makeup and hair as if I too would be going to prom. Colt bought my ticket and was throwing a party afterwards also. Everything was just going perfect.

Layla did my makeup at 12 and my hair after that, but made sure it would last all day if I chose to not take it off, which I had no intentions of doing. She had her own hair and makeup to do too!
I put on my dress and shoes at 3:45 and all of my jewelry. I was ready for prom.
I was in a coral chiffon Jovani dress with a single diamond strap that went across my left shoulder.
My hair was pulled to the side and my makeup was in a natural smokey eye with light pink lips and natural looking blush.
At 4:00 exactly, Colt showed up.
"Bye Mom!" I still haven't told them yet. Oopsie?
"Where are you going?"
"Colt's taking me to a dance. Pictures?" I grabbed the boutonnière.
"Um sure"
"Bye Mom!" Layla thinks that's her date. Oopsie? Again.
"That's Colt Layla!"
"Oh. Good cause I wasn't ready."
Mom was outside stunned. "HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF GOING TO PROM?!?!"
"Sorry!!!! In all fairness I didn't think it would end up being this big of deal."
"Well it is! Let me get Layla and my camera. Your dad is going to me so mad that he missed seeing you!" She ran inside.
"Why didn't you tell your mom?"
"Nervous I guess. You look very handsome."
"Don't be nervous. You look... Wow."
I blushed and my mom was back snapping pictures left and right. Layla was right behind her.
"GRACE WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?!?! I COULD'VE DONE A MUCH BETTER JOB ON YOUR HAIR AND MAKEUP!!!!" Looks like everyone's mad at me for not saying anything about prom.
"Sorry!!"
Lots of pictures were taken. Then a repeat at Colt's house. Then we went to get pro pictures. The we went out to eat at some Italian place with his friends and their dates.
The prom itself was at 7:00. We arrived at 7:30 and it looked amazing. I danced and laughed and just had fun with myself. The night was just grand.
