Alessia Russo Oneshot

Prom

The air was filled with the distinct buzz of a school day nearing its end, but for you, this day carried a weight of anticipation. Year 11 was drawing to a close, and with it came the highlight of the school year: prom. The final bell rang, releasing a flurry of students into the hallways. You clutched a small, neatly wrapped box in your hand, your heart pounding in your chest as you navigated through the crowded corridors.

You had rehearsed this moment countless times in your head, but now that it was here, the nerves were nearly overwhelming. As you approached the gymnasium, you spotted Alessia Russo, effortlessly skilled and always surrounded by friends. Today, however, you had to muster the courage to break through that barrier and ask her a question that had been on your mind for weeks.

"Hey, Alessia," you called out, your voice surprisingly steady despite the turmoil within. Alessia turned, her smile as radiant as ever, making your heart skip a beat.

"Hey! What's up?" she responded, her blue eyes twinkling with curiosity.

Taking a deep breath, you stepped closer, holding out the box. "I, um, I wanted to ask you something."

Alessia raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Sure, what is it?"

You handed her the box, watching as she carefully unwrapped it to reveal a small, intricately folded paper. As she unfolded it, a grin spread across her face. The paper read: "Will you go to prom with me?"

Alessia looked up, her smile even brighter than before. "Are you serious? I'd love to go to prom with you!"

Relief washed over you, your heart soaring with joy. "Really? That's amazing!"

She laughed, a sound that felt like music to your ears. "Of course! It's going to be so much fun."

Over the next few weeks, you and Alessia grew closer, bonding over prom preparations and shared excitement. The night of the prom arrived in a whirlwind of dresses, suits, and last-minute touches. When you saw Alessia in her elegant dress, you were speechless, and judging by her expression, she felt the same way about you.

"You look incredible," she said, her voice filled with genuine admiration.

"So do you," you replied, feeling a rush of confidence.

The night was everything you had hoped for and more. The decorations sparkled, the music was perfect, and you and Alessia danced as if the world had melted away, leaving only the two of you. As the night drew to a close, you found yourselves outside, the cool air a welcome relief from the bustling dance floor.

"Thank you for asking me to prom," Alessia said, her hand intertwined with yours. "Tonight has been amazing."

"I'm just glad you said yes," you replied, squeezing her hand gently. "It's a night I'll never forget."

Under the starlit sky, you shared a moment that felt timeless, a memory etched into your heart forever. As you walked back inside together, you knew that this was just the beginning of something special, and you couldn't wait to see where it would lead.
