Chapter 34

Saturday night comes quicker than I realize. Tonight is the night of the ball. I took a look of the final preparation for the dance and it turned out amazing. As you walk in the gymnasium, which I've decided to held the ball, due to saving the funds for prom, you would see an archway, leading to the dance. Hanging on the ceilings are small soft clouds and big stars, cascading around the gym. Along the walls are bright white snowflakes. It adds to the wintery theme, as well as the light blue lights we decided to use instead of plain white. Putting a creativity to a reality, some of the planners and organizers came up with an idea to make semi-tall christmas trees and bunch of buildings to surround the gym. The trees and the buildings were made out of lots of white cardboard. For the musical entertainment, we book a Dj and he brings along his huge Dj booth. Along the dance floor, pots and pots of artificial flowers sits on certain edges. All the food, drink, and deserts are at one side of the gym and tables and chairs are scattered around, enough for students to sit and enjoy their meal. Overall, the preparation was outstanding and I highly believe that the students will enjoy their night.

I went over to Claire's right when I woke up. Well, after showering, getting dressed, eating breakfast and such. I told her about last night with Nolan, everything from the time we got to the ice rink to the part when I realize that I have feelings for him. Telling her the story, I would see her face becoming more and more shock, speechless to what I'm telling her. All night I just laid in bed, contemplating on my feelings for Nolan. I never thought that it would happen again. The day he ended my friendship was the day that ended my attraction towards him. Not once have I come to the terms of having feelings for him again. Until now, I guess. And that thought scares me shitless right now.

Nolan and I became friends again; I don't want to ruin that for a second time. How did I not see that I started to developed feelings for Nolan? How hurt and devastated I was when he avoided me after that hospital moment. How excited and happy I was when he would be around when we visit Maddie. How mad and jealous I was when that girl, Kayla, was giving Nolan too many of flirty smiles and wink and how she flaunts her body to him. I never thought of it being intense feelings I had for him until last night.

"What are you going to do about Xavier though?" Claire asked me after several silent moments when I finished telling her everything that happened.

I don't really know what to do about Xavier. I still have feelings for him. Strong feelings, to be exact, even though we are in a messy situation. We may be on a break. But are we broken up? I don't even know at this point. I don't even know if my feelings for Nolan is as strong as my feelings for Xavier, but now, I know that I like both guys and that I'm just so confuse and conflicted.

Ugh ... If you're wondering ... Yes, I have a major headache on all of this!

Anyways, I take a shower at Claire's spare bathroom, preparing ourselves for the dance that starts an hour. After we talked, we just stayed in her room and watch some tv and eat snacks. Later on, Claire took me to the dress shop where our outfit for tonight are being held by the lady Claire talked with. I was anxious to know what my outfit looked like, but Claire would slap my hand every time I would the zipper of the dress bag, scolding me for being impatient; She wanted to keep it a surprise. After my many attempts to take at least a glimpse, I finally gave up, giving Claire the satisfaction.

I wrap myself with the white soft towel that Claire gave me before my shower. Heading to her room, grabbing my nice folded clothes from the sink\counter beforehand, I walk in, seeing Claire in a cream bathrobe walking out of her bathroom.

We glance at each other once we walk in the room, then laugh at the fact that we walked in at the same time.

"Here. Now you can see the outfit I got you." She walks to her walk-in closet, then hands me the dress bag after she comes out. I give her a 'thank you' smile, grabbing the bag from her hands. Taking the bag to her bathroom ... Weird, going into another bathroom ... After removing the towel off my waist, I put on my boxer, then after unzipping the bag, I dress into the outfit that was in it. Standing in front of the ceiling-to-floor mirror at the opposite side of the bathroom, I look at my reflection, seeing was once a cheap-styled, loner with just one friend, but now a dashing, classy boy who made new friends and regain old friends. I wear an all royal blue suit (besides the white dress shirt): blue blazer, blue vest, blue tie, and blue slacks. Never have I ever see anyone wearing colors like this to a dance, mostly seeing dull colors, like black and grey, but I thought this was a clever and unique idea.
