The One

Prom

Jayden's POV
It's prom day and everyone is so excited. By the time I woke up this morning Kira was already gone. Girls, I sigh. But don't worry about the fact that I am meeting up with the guys later to get haircuts and by flowers for the girls. From what I know Mack is taking Carrie, Omar is in town and agreed to take Hope, and of course I am taking Kira. We are meeting at some place called Barb's Barber, cliche I know. But it is supposed to be five star and cost a lot. People were saying I should cut my hair and try a new look, but Kira and I like the flat top so I am just going to get a shape up. After Kira's declaration to the press yesterday I have been getting tons of calls. My dad and mom think that was the beat publicity move ever, while others think I shouldn't make the baby a show doll.But the haters are gonna hate you know. I am trying support Kira as much as I can here, give me a break. We are moving into the new house graduation night. This is all new to me but I feel so at peace and calm it's amazing.
I walk into the barber shop and it's about the size of a school cafeteria. It's gigantic, it takes me a while to spot the guys. They are already in there seats so I just go and sit at the chair reserved with my name on it.
"Hey guys" I say swirling around in my chair
"Hey man" Omar says
"What's up" Mack says
"So how does this work" I ask
"Well they are getting your guy right now" Omar answers
"So I just wait" I ask
"Basically" Omar answers
"Awesome" I say pulling out my phone
"Who yeah texting" Mack asks
"None ya" I answer
"I bet it's Kira" Mack says "they were rocking the floor boards last night"
My head snaps up to look at him "You heard us" I say
"Yeah, I was home" he says
"Shit I didn't know" I say "and I chased her around the house naked too"
We all start dying of laughter, that the people cutting Mack and Omar's hair have to stop.
"Sorry" I say to the barbers
"What's up you guys though" Mack asks
"Yeah" Omar adds "last time I saw you. You were trying to get some water action, now you about to have a child and move in with her. What happened" he asks
"I don't know man. Life happened, I grew up. I found that girl I want to be with for the rest of my life so I grabbed on to her before she could get away" I explain
"I don't think I'm ready for that yet" Mack says. "Me neither" Omar agrees
A guy comes to cut my hair and I tell him what I want.
"So when's the wedding" Mack asks
"What wedding, I'm not going that fast. How does paparazzi make up this stuff" I say and Mack laughs, I'm confused
"He was just joking." Omar explains "So what's happening after graduation"
"Well we decided that I should start working during the summer because we don't want to depend on my dad for everything. So I am going to get a job directing movies and music videos, something like what my dad does just directing and not producing. Then Kira is gonna take a year of to watch the baby, because we don't want him or her to grow up like me always being around maids and nannies. Then she is going to also find a job in the music industry, she is not sure what yet, though. And I guess that's basically it, we are going to send the kid to school the minute it can talk, walk, and is potty trained. That's us for the next two three years I guess. Work, babysitting, music, directing, and school." I finish saying
"Wow that sounds boring" Mack yawns
"Oh be quiet" Omar tells him "Well I am going on tour with the band this summer."
"Now that sound like a lot more fun" Mack says "I'm going to medical school"
"And how is that better than my plans" I ask him
"More college, more pretty girls, more parties, more kiras" he says the I get it
"He is right" Omar says
"I realized that, but I still think mine is better" I say defending my future.
"Whatever lets go" Mack says paying his bill, since he had finished last. We go to a flower boutique close by and when we ask for croquettes the lady screams at us.
"How do you expect to get flowers at this expensive place last minute. You irresponsible teens, you leave now before I call manager" She screams at us
"Are you new here or something" Omar asks her
"Do you even know who we are" Mack asks her
"Maneger" she screams pronouncing it wrong. A guy walks in from the back and goes up to the lady
"What happen, Maria" he asks her
"More last minute prom boys" she says
"Shoo them away" he says but then looks up and sees us. He rushes over to us, "I am so sorry. I did not realize it was you Mr. Binks, Mr. Philps, and Mr. Morris. Are you here to collect your flowers" he says shaking each of our hands. We tell him what type of flowers we want and before long we are at the tailors picking up our suits. In less than two hours we will be picking the girls up in the limo. I can just imagine how hectic it is over there.
Kira POV
"Tatiana go get the pink one, it matches my dress" I scream the boys should be here in like an hour and a half and we still haven't finished our makeup. Tatiana is doing mine but she used red eye shadow instead of pink so she is doing it over. Some of the girls have already left for dinner and the next one should be here in half an hour and that's Tatiana's. So I need her to finish before she leaves.
"Don't worry honey" She says
"I have to worry it's prom" I exclaim
"I'm done see" she says spinning me around to look in the mirror. I looked so beautiful I couldn't wait to see it with my dress and shoes. I go in the bedroom to change and by the time I come back Tatiana and her friends are gone. The people left are Hope, Carrie (who I recently became friends with) and myself. We put on our shoes and wait outside. Hope comes up to me.
"Your forgetting something" she says
"What" I ask
"This" she says handing me the most beautiful hot pink clutch. I am speechless I just hug her and she understands what I am saying. First comes the photographers that's how you know the boys are on there way. Tons of them lining up outside and setting up cameras and taking pictures of us. Some are paparazzi others hired photographers from the school and some from the Binks, the Morris's, and even some from Kira's grandparents who wanted to capture the moment. By the time the limo pulls up it gets crazy.
The cameras are flashing the reporters are fighting to get to the from for pictures for the news. I knew this was a good school, but it's just a prom chill. The guys give us our flowers and crochets and we go on the steps to take pictures. We take a few pictures on the step all together then the individual couples, then just the boys, then just the girls. When Jayden and I are finish we head to the limo. It's amazing champagne bottles and glasses next to each seat, candy bags, and glow in the dark sticks. There is even a flat led light shining color light razors all over. When we arrive at the hall, the camera guys are all ready there.
After we go through the whole picture taking process again we finally arrive inside. Its beautiful, tiny chandeliers over each table and a giant disco ball over a glass looking dance floor. There ice sculptures here and there and it seems to be really alive. Each table is arranged by limo number with 6 seats at each table. After we sit and look around for a while, taking everything in, everyone except Jayden and I go to dance.
"What to dance" he asks me
"Sure" I answer he starts to get up "But wait" he sits back down
"Do you really want this baby? Because I swear if you leave me and this baby, I will find you" I say staring in his eyes and because he never takes them for in mine I know he know his answer before he says it.
"I will never leave you guys" he says
We go to dance and I can't help feel special, he is a sick dancer.
"Attention everyone" A teacher says turning of the music.
"I am here to announce prom King and queen. And this year is extraordinary because we further the voting to people in both sides, North and South." She says and stops her us to clap.
"Well, the prom king and queen of 2015's graduating class are Jayden and Kira." What did she just say, we did it. The place is roaring with claps and as we walk to the stage I get few dirty looks from some girls, but I don't care. I link my arm with Jayden just to show them who I belong to. We go up to collect our crowns, then go to the center to have our special dance. He whispers something in my ear.
"Never ever"
Never ever
