𝐈𝐓'𝐒 prom night for the students of west valley high school. some couples have broken up but are going to prom anyway, some couples' relationships are on the rocks but are going to prom anyway. since it was also still spring, bella, ali, and dutch also received their acceptance letters to ucla and were accepted.
bella took ali to wild orchid salon, a reputable hair salon in virgin river. while bella had a fishtail braided low bun, a few strands that hung loose around her face and those pieces were loosely curled, and ali got curls in her hair.
after the hair stylists were paid and tipped, the two best friends went to the nail salon for mani-pedis. ali chose a mauve color, while bella chose a pink color
"how are you and daniel?" bella asked as the nail tech worked on her nails. "what's going on?"
"honestly, i don't know." ali said as the nail tech worked on her nails. "it's like he's been so different since the tournament."
"maybe this is just a bump in the road for you guys. i'm sure everything will be okay." bella said
"maybe." ali sighed
after their mani-pedis, the two best friends went to lunch, then bella took ali home. after dropping her best friend off, bella pulled into the drive way, parked her truck, and walked inside.
bella walked into the bathroom to begin her makeup, as she settled on a subtle eye looks blush and mascara. after putting her things away in the drawer, she heard the front door open. "bella?" dutch called
bella walked out of the bathroom and into the living room and greeted her boyfriend with a kiss and an embrace. "hi honey."
dutch gave her a look full of adoration and love. "you look gorgeous babe."
"thank you." bella smiled. "by the way, how was suit shopping your mom? did you find anything?"
dutch smiled and nodded in reply. "i remember you said your dress was emerald green, so mom suggested i should choose an emerald green vest and bow tie to go with my suit. that is what you go with right?" he asked
in the bedroom, the couple dressed for prom. bella's dress was a sleeveless emerald green faux wrap dress made of silk, and decorated with seed beads throughout the garment. sitched to the waist was a emerald green silk sash belt.
"you look beautiful, bella." dutch smiled
bella turned around to find him wearing his suit and to her, he was the most handsome guy she had ever seen. his suit was black, but his vest was emerald green, to match her dress. his once bleach blonde, now turned brunette hair was combed neatly and he smelt amazing. her guy truly fills out a suit well.
