Chapter 3 - Graduation Party

Chapter 3 - Graduation Party

My graduation party is tomorrow and I am feeling quite nervous, wondering what Zack would say when he sees me.

He told me he would pick me up at around 7:30. So I would have to get ready a half an hour before that because, well girls need more time to get ready and I wanted to look perfect for that exact moment when he arrives at my doorstep. I slept that night hoping that tomorrow would be the best day of my life. I mean, who wouldn't right? If you're going with someone famous.

In the morning I felt great. I literally woke up with a smile on my face probably of excitement.

So from my bedroom I danced my way to the bathroom to get cleaned up. Then went down stairs to the kitchen for some breakfast, even my dad noticed something different.

"You're a bit cheer-full this morning.

"What happened? "Asked my dad.

"Nothing dad it's a girl thing you wouldn't understand" I replied feeling a bit shy to answer him.

What would my dad know about situations like these? I thought to myself.

Anyway I was too excited to think about anything else, my mind was focused on the dance. But more importantly was the reason I was so excited.

The day passed by much faster than I expected and I was ready for this night.

When it was 7 o' clock I went to get ready, ran upstairs to my room and got ready. I was so excited I rushed to get my outfit on.

I did however try to calm down I didn't want to be a mess when Zack arrived.

Just as I was about to finish up and just needed to put on my shoes I heard the doorbell.

" I'll get it I screamed from the stairs" I ran down to get the door and there he was in front of me !

"Wow!!!! You look gorgeous" Zack said.

"Well .... Thanks you too. I replied.

He took my hand and escorted me to the limo waiting outside.

When we arrived at the prom all eyes were on us this was an experience of a life time. To arrive at your own prom with a celebrity is magnificent. Since Zack was a celebrity all the girls rushed towards us , to get close to him.

This was very weird for me considering that I was his date to the prom. Why should other girls steal him away from me on my special night at prom? I thought to myself. Zack and I took a

run for it , although I have to admit running from a crowd of people is exhausting.

As soon as we lost the crowd, Zack took me to a place behind the prom hall. It was separate from the prom and looked like a small stage lit with candles and the whole thing was covered with flowers and glowing lights.

"This is beautiful" I exclaimed.

"I know I did this for you I wanted to show you a special night"

"This is the most romantic thing anyone has done for me. " I replied shyly.

"Would you like to dance?" he asked.

"What a question!! I thought.

"Yes" I would love to dance." I replied.

He came closer to me and put his arms around my waist then I put mine around his neck. We started to dance and the music was very calm, slow and romantic.

We danced for a long while. I even forgot that there was somewhere I needed to be. There was a prom that was waiting for me.

"Shouldn't we go inside now it is getting very late, my friends will start wondering where I am" I said.

"You are probably right I never wanted to keep you away from your friends this long, I'm sorry" he said looking at me as if he had disappointed me.

"It's ok" I said, time flies when you're having fun.

When we got inside the prom hall again they were about to announce the prom king & queen. To my surprise I was crowned prom queen and Zack prom king.

I couldn't pick up how we won when we were both missing almost half of the night. It was probably Summer's idea to vote for me.

I saw Jesse standing with Ryan and Brandon one side but it was like he didn't enjoy the night as much as they did. Brandon and Ryan were having fun, he seemed sad and lost in thought. Then I remembered what I had done to him. He was so excited for the dance before I let him down.

I felt bad he was my friend. Then I decided to go up to him. I figured the least I could do was to ask him to dance and just as I thought he said yes. Jesse and I danced for a while it was slow yet it felt good. Then Zack came

"May I cut in "he said.

" Of course "I replied moving slowly away from Jesse.

I took Zack's hand and went off to dance with him. I still felt bad for what I did to Jesse I really hope his not mad.

After the prom Zack dropped me at my house. We got out of the car and he took me to my doorstep.

"Thank you, this was one of the best nights I had and a big part of it is that I had you to spend it with.

"Thanks I enjoyed the night too" I replied.

He then came closer to me and gave me a slight kiss on my cheek. I blushed then smiled.

"What was that for"

"Just to say thank you for a wonderful nigh" He replied.

I turned around opened the door and went inside.

"Goodnight Claire", he said.

I turned and smiled at him and then went inside. The night went better than I had expected. It was really one of the best.
