“This is going to be awesome. Us and our boyfriends, seeing a movie.” Emily gushed as I zipped up the back of her dress for her. Once it was zipped, she started twirling around my bedroom, the skirt of her dress spinning around her legs.
“You need to chill. You and Drew have only been dating for like, 2 weeks.” I said, sitting down at my vanity to put my earrings in.
“So I'm not allowed to be excited about it? Just let me be happy, Tailee. Goodness. I'm still mad at you for getting Drake. That boy is freaking.. Jesus or something.”
“Drake is Jesus? Okay then.” I laughed.
“Whatever. You got the point.” Emily said, plopping down on my bed, as she began strapping up her sandals.
Drake and I, and Emily and Drew, coordinated our outfits. Because we were poor teenagers and couldn't afford a fancy dinner before the movie, or a fancy dinner in general, we decided something else. Our boys would wear tuxedos and us girls would wear prom dresses. Drew's and Drake's tuxes were normal looking, all black and black ties. Emily's dress is one-sleeve, long, purple satin, with pearl looking beads going down the side. She put her hair up in a bun, with a purple headband, and of course, her white sandals. I had Drake pick out my outfit, only because he begged me. My dress was strapless and short, with a tight bodest and full skirt. All black, with shimmer on the bodest part. My hair was straightened, and I was wearing the black heels Drake told me to wear.
Once Emily was done twirling, we drove to the movie theater. Drew and Drake were waiting outside for us. Instead of presenting corsages, then presented theater candy boxes. Emily and I accepted gratefully. As we bought our tickets and went into the theater, people gave us weird looks. It was anything but prom season.
“You look really pretty tonight.” Drake said in my ear as we waiting for Emily outside of the bathrooms. Drew had run off to buy drinks for us.
“You do too. Very pretty.” I laughed.
Drake wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. I kissed him back, not caring who saw. We were already wearing tuxedos and prom dresses; what else do we have to lose?
“I'm back!” Emily said, excited, as she busted out of the bathroom. Drake and I took no notice, continuing to kiss.
“Oh la la.” Emily whistled. I couldn't help but laugh, and Drake broke the kiss, laughing also.
“Where's Drew? Did he already go into the theater?” Emily asked, looking around.
“No, he went to get drinks.” Just as Drake said it, Drew came around the corner, stumbling with 4 large drinks in his hands.
“What did you get me?” I asked, as Drew handed me a cup.
“Sprite. Is that okay?” He asked, distributing the rest of the drinks.
I wanted something diet. And sugar free. Guess I just can't drink that much. “Yeah, it's fine. Just give me a second.” I said, taking my drink with me into the bathroom. I then proceeded to dump ¾ of it down the drain. I know it's a waste, but what can you do?
“Okay, ready.” I said, joining the crowd. Drake kissed my nose, as he took my hand and led me into the theater.
