"The prom king is........" the principal pauses for suspense, "Miles."
Everyone erupts in applause and I clap also. Everyone knew Miles was going to be prom king. He was just that popular. He walks up to the stage looking handsome as ever and takes his crown. "And the prom queen is..........." the principal says pausing for suspense again. This time Everone was stomping their feet to add more suspense. "Is.........Veronica!"
Everyone claps except Ashley and me. We were just shocked. Veronica walks up to the stage and takes her crown. I know that I wasn't going to be prom queen but, why does it have to he her? Ashley leans closer to me to whisper in my ear. "The prom king and queen are supposed to have that one special dance. Which requires Veronica to be close to Miles." Ashley says as the principal talks about that stupid special dance. Why would people even create that? What if the prom king came with another girl and then has to dance with the prom queen. The music slows down and they start to dance. "Are you jealous? That is your date," a girl said to me.
"No, I'm not jealous at all. I'm seriously not jealous." I said.
"Sounds like it to me."
I groan and leave the dance floor to sit at our table. 'I wonder how long the song is. Its really starting to irritate me.' I say in my head.
I start picking at my cake when, someone taps my shoulder. I look up to see Ashley smiling at me. "Oh Athena, you look so jealous it's killing me." Ashley says sounding worried.
I look back over to Miles and Veronica dancing. "Its fine. It's not like they''re kissing or anything." Just as I say that, Veronica stands on her toes and kisses Miles. Ashley's mouth hung open in surprise. "Oh no she didn't," Ashley whispers.
I was just silent. Too surprised to say something. Ashley touches my shoulder. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I just need some fresh air." I say leaving from the table.
I run out of the building and lean against the brick wall. The outside makes me feel better. The cool breeze blows my hair back. I heard the door opens and I see Miles looking for me. "Athena, it wasn't what it looked like." Miles says.
"Then what was it? It sure looked like you two were kissing." I say.
"Look, I didn't want to kiss her or even dance with her. I wanted to dance with you," Miles says, " I'm really, really sorry. Can we just go back inside?"
He takes my hand and I nod. We go inside and Veronica is sitting at a table with Adam with a frown on her face. I almost giggle at her expense. I smile at her as we walk past her table. She glares at me and I smile even wider. She probably thinks I'm crazy now but, I don't really care. Miles and I dance until prom is almost over. We took pictures for the rest of prom. When prom ended, Miles and John drops Ashley and me off at my house. We go inside and dad is sleep on the couch. Ashley tries not to laugh and we quietly walk up to my room. "Graduation is tomorrow. Let go to sleep." I say going into the bathroom to change into my pj's. I changed and came back into my room. Ashley was fast asleep in her pajamas and laying on my bed. I sigh and push her over. I lay down and go to sleep.
