Isabella's POV

"So how was detention today? I hope it tought you a lesson?"

Hearing mom makes me jump, lost in thought as I immediately contain myself. "Detention was goo- I'm mean very boring. It definitely did." I say lying through my teeth. Me and Alex had fun in detention today, glancing and making jokes. We almost got in trouble twice.

"How about you wipe that smile off of your face. The teacher told me you and Alex wouldn't keep quiet." Mom says which gets me to look up from my Salisbury steak. I didn't even realize I was smiling.. oops.

"Am I still grounded?" I say as a question. She puts down her knife as she was getting ready to cut into her steak. She then pinches her nose as my mother looks me in the eyes. "Unfortunately, no." She says that as I feel my smile widen as she puts her hand up. Guess she's not finished..

"I got a call from the school for the 3 day notice for prom Monday."

"PROM?!" I practically yell which makes my mother furrow her brows. I immediately cover my mouth, "I'm so sorry I didn't mean to yell I just.. forgot." I say still with my mouth covered. Shit..

"I had a feeling you forgot sweetheart that's why I told you. If you want we can go dress shopping tomorrow, if you don't wanna go it's totally up to you." She says which gets me to smile nervously. I totally forgot about prom..

"Of course I wanna go, it'll be the first and last time, like graduation!" My enthusiasm makes my mother giggle as she picks up her knife and fork again, getting ready to dig in. "Alright, tomorrow it is."

Home - 6:58PM.

Isabella's POV.

Patting my damp hair with a towel as I walk out of the bathroom, I start to pace around my room with nerves I thought I never had. Why am I so nervous about prom? More then less, dress shopping? I guess that answers why the school was putting up decorations in the gym and Samantha kept talking about dresses.. I must be stupid to not be able to put the pieces together.. Sherlock Holmes would definitely be disappointed. I'm snapped out of my thoughts when I hear my door open. When my mother sees me, she smiles kindly.

"Isabella you're my daughter and all, but please tell me your in a towel before I barge into your room." She says that as she goes for my pajamas laying on my bed. I'm in a towel? Oops.. well we're girl's so it doesn't really matter. She hands me my pajamas with ease as I grab them and run into the bathroom, throwing the towel for my hair on the floor.

"I'm sorry, I forgot!" I say that as I dry myself off in the bathroom. What is with me and forgetting all the time.. "So what kind of dress are you going for?" My mother asks as I throw on my shirt which catches me off guard. "Why do you ask?" I ask a bit curious. She definitely has something in mind.. I quickly throw on my shorts as I open the bathroom door. My mother then stands up as she motions for me to follow her.

We walk out of my room to go passed the main bathroom, into hers. "Sit on my bed for a minute, I gotta get it out." She says as I sit on her bed, immediately feeling the coolness of her comforter mixed with her extremely comfortable mattress. "Okay now close your eyes, I have a surprise for you." My mother says as I ebloge. I hear a zipper open along with her pulling something out. My damp hair moves a little as I can feel her walk infront of me. "Okay now open them." She says as I open my eyes to curious to see what the surprise is.

"Oh my god.." I say which was the reaction she was looking forward to. I immediately stand up to admire this thing that is being held up infront of me. This is such a beautiful dress! "I'd figure I'd bring this out and incase if you didn't like it we can still go dress shopping." I say which gets me to smile. "Oh dress shopping is cancelled, this dress is stunning mom." I say as she follows me to her mirror.
