A/N: I have added the song used for this chapter and the inspiration for the dress described. I hope you all like it and enjoy this chapter of the story.
Marty's POV
I sit in my first class thinking about how I want to ask Jenni to the dance. Jennifer and I were supposed to go together, but obviously that's not going to happen now. She won't talk to me or look at me anymore. No matter what I do or say she just ignores it. It's not the end of the world, but I still feel guilty in a way. To be honest, if we were really meant to be together maybe Jenni wouldn't have came into my life the way she did.
Come on brain, what's the best way to ask her out to the dance? I could write something cheesy that'll make her laugh and say yes maybe. No that wouldn't work. She'd probably look at me stupid if I did that.
Before I know it, the bell rings dismissing class. I guess I'm just going to have to ask her outright. As I walk to my next class, I run into someone. "Oh crap, I'm sorry." I apologize as I help pick up the person's things. I recognize one of the items as Jenni's. My cheeks start to flush. I debate whether or not I should ask her now or later. But if I don't ask her now, someone else might ask her before I do. "Uh Jen, I didn't see you there." I apologize again. "It's okay. I wasn't really paying attention either." Her cheeks turn red as well. "Hey uh, before you go, I wanted to ask you something." I start to ask her before it's too late. "Sure, what is it Marty?" She stands there patiently waiting for me to continue.
"I was uh, wondering if you wanted to go to the dance with me?" I asked lowly enough for only her to hear. A smile emerges on her face. "I would love to Marty." I smile back, pleased with her answer. Before people start to stare, I quickly help her gather her things and give them back to her. We smile at each other as we leave for class.
Okay, here's what I know. The guys and I play the last section of the night. After that moment with her in the hall, I know this is how I want to do it. Jennifer will be so pissed at me, but she must not care about me enough to still want to be my friend so I don't care what she'll think when I ask Jenni out tonight.
This is some heavy shit. I can't help this feeling. I want her to be mine. I can't imagine her with anybody else but me. What I'm going to do is I'm going to get the guys to play that song I heard in the future, get her to come up on stage, ask her be mine, and pray that she says yes. Yeah, that's totally not embarrassing at all, asking your best friend to be your girlfriend in front of the whole school. I just hope I'm not going in over my head.
The feeling is there, I know it. She wouldn't reciprocate the thing we have going on back if she didn't. I shake my head, trying to clear it of any negative thoughts. Tonight will turn out just fine, if not better.
Jenni's POV
The dance was just a two weeks away and I needed to find a dress. My mom decided to take me dress shopping. We've already been through a few different stores and haven't found anything yet. All the dresses that I've found either don't look or fit right. Mom told me that she'd take me to another store.
On the way out, I see this one dress just being put on display. It was a pretty light purple color. The dress was long and would flow at your feet if you wore it. The dress was strapless, but it had a tie in the back to make a pretty bow. It was so pretty. I wanted to try it on. "Mom, I found one more dress I'd like to try on." She smiled at me and nodded. I'm sure she's only saying that because she's ready to come home. Well, I kind of can't blame her; it's kind of been a long day.
I smile back and go get the dress. I sigh when I get in the dressing room. Please be the last dress I have to try on. I love dresses, but I do have a limit on how many I want to try on. When I get the dress on, I'm amazed. It fits, it actually fits. I love the way it fits and feels. It's very long and flowy, but not too long that I'll trip over it at the dance. The small silver heels that I have at home will go with this dress perfectly. I have to show my mom. This is the one.
