It's prom week
The week I've been waiting for since well the last prom week anyways it was very exciting
Since this prom I finally have a boyfriend that I can go with
Today was Monday so you know the promposals that haven't already happened are happening today since prom is on Thursday
I don't think Luis will do anything big I think it's already confirmed that we're going together anyways today Julie is picking me up since Luis said he had a physiotherapy appointment
Anyways I'm prepared for the day I'm just standing on the side walk waiting for Julie
Suddenly off in the distance I can hear music I can't make it out but I can hear... is that Kesha?
I look to my right and see Julie
Yup if anyone is listening to Kesha at 7:10 am it's Julie
"Heyy" I say getting in
"Hey girl" she says with a huge smile
We sang our lungs out the whole way to school finally when we go there I got out to try make it to class on time for once
As I was walking someone grabbed me and swung me around
"Mendoza let me go" I said laughing hard
"I missed you this morning" he said hugging me
"I missed you too but we have every class together" I laughed
As we walked off to first block I decided just to go in
"So for prom what colours are we doing because I was thinking-""I'm got going to prom" Luis cut me off
I went dead silent "what?" I have never been more speechless
"I don't wanna go it's stupid and I hate all the fuss" he said in a serious tone
"Oh wow um ok that's cool I guess I'll go with Julie" I said not knowing what to say obviously I didn't want to force him but I was kind of hurt? That's sounds stupid but I was
The rest of the day I felt was mute
After school
"UGH julieeeee" I said flopping onto her bed groaning
"I really wanted to go with him and I thought... I don't even know what I thought or why I was thinking he would want to go" I said
"Uh because he's the most extravagant guy??" Julie said in agreement "listen I would've been caught off guard aswell if I got that"
"I just- it's so- so- STUPID how worked up I'm getting over this... like I'm so shallow" I said flinging my head back
Julie crawled onto the bed beside me "hey don't worry me and you are going together and what's better then that" she said
"Ya I guess" I added
"We can do matching everything"she said
TuesdayMe and Julie decided we should get our dresses today since we should've gotten them weeks ago
We drove into the city to a dress store
As soon as we walked in there was glitter and rhinestones EVERYWHERE
I'm not complaining because I do love all this
Me and Julie tried on soooooo many dresses
Julie wanted a purple lavender dress with glitter or just plain silk nothing too big but still big enough to look fancy
I wanted a blue dress I hadn't landed on which shade or type of blue yet but I'll see my options
(You can skip these next parts if you want to do a different dress then I have in mind)
I ended up picking this dress with navy blue sequin it fit perfectly
Everything was perfect I don't know what would've made this day any better

U: So??
Dark blue :J
Luis
When I got home from school my dad was home I knew because his truck was in the front driveway
When I walked in my mom greeted me and brought me into the dining room
I sat down and my dad was already sat
"Son" my mom said grabbing my dads hand "I've been stationed in Texas we're leaving on Friday" he said cutting to the point
I couldn't say anything
My whole world had just shattered
"We have to go there's a good chance we could come back still" my mom said in a cheerful tone
"Ok" was my response
Nothing
I couldn't have done nothing to stop this
I had to leave a great team and people friends I've made true connections with
And most of all the girl who I love the most
How
How was I gonna tell Ali
I couldn't hurt her like that
Or maybe I couldn't hurt myself like that
I have to make the most of these next few days I have left which probably means I have to go to prom
So I've texted Julie asking for her dress colour explaining my situation to her and asking for her secrecy
Anything for Ali
