Upside Down

Chapter Three | Prom Night

Tonight is the prom and a guy asked me out. I wasn't planning on going but I guess I have to anyway. My mom already picked out my hairstyle, dress and shoes. She said it was a surprise so I didn't bother. I didn't feel like going today, since the past three days has been a complete opposite of my normal day.

And so I stayed home, I stayed in bed with food my mom made. I watched TV until I suddenly heard a buzzing noise from my phone. A text. Wow, this is like the fifth text I had since the past three days. Most from guys, but this one is from a girl.

I read the text, and ignored it. I didn't bother replying. I just continued watching TV. "Jamie!" I heard my dad yell from downstairs. I groaned and got up from my bed. I galloped like a horse down the stairs and saw my dad cooking.

"Um, dad? Remember how your stew went last time?" I groaned, wanting to not taste test it. "Come on Jamie, that was one time." He said holding a spoon out. I rolled my eyes and took the spoon. I sipped the soup and, surprisingly, it tasted reall good. A bright smile appeared on my face. I gave him two thumbs up and ran back up stairs.

~TIME SKIP~

It was almost 8 and I haven't gotten ready yet. I showered, my mom told me she put the dress on my bed along with the shoes. After showering I dried up my hair and then my body. Walking outside, I was shocked by the dress. A light salmon coloured dress laid down on my bed. It had white floral details. Below my knee which was okay. The shoes matched with the dress, white and silver details. I slipped the dress on and the shoes.

My mom did my makeup and hairstyle. I was ready and it was already 8. I waited outside for the guy to pick me up. What was his name? It was on the note...oh Matthew! Huh, sounds familiar...oh well. A black limo appeared in front of me. Matthew standing beside it with a bright smile. I smiled back and walked inside limo.

We headed to school, and saw the students walking in. Everything was so nicely decorated. We walked inside the building and heard the music and saw people dancing. We went to get drinks first because I told him I was thirsty. He went back with two cups in his hand, he handed me one and I quickly drank the drink.

A slow song came up and Matthew wanted me to dance with him. I followed him into the crowd, we danced to the song, our hips swaying. I laid my head on his shoulder, his hand on my back. I lifted my head up and looked at him in the eyes, ever since he asked me out for prom and a date, I actually fell for him.

I leaned in, our lips barely touching. Suddenly, we were interrupted by the music teacher announcing who the prom king and queen would be. "Prom Queen is! Hailey Matthews!" He announced. "And Prom King Is! Jaxson Zacian!" Everyone applauded. We went back to the slow song, Matthew and I slow danced again.

We swayed our hips, I lifted my head again, leaning in. Our lips were almost touching. This was it, my first kiss. Matthew was gonna be my first kiss...
