Garfield's POV
So I've got my tuxedo on. Check. My sneakers. Check. Ok don't hate I don't have dress shoes. My hair looks good ok. Rachel's corsage. Ok but my tie isn't on I can't tie it. I walked up to Rachel's door and knocked on the door.
Rachel's POV
Mom helped me put on my dress. I bought a pair of purple jeweled 5 inched heels, so I could reach Garfield's shoulders to dance with him. I put on my makeup. I did a smoky eye. I put bright red lipstick. Mom did my hair. I redied my hair back to black. My mom did my hair in an up do. It had braids and curls everywhere. It looked beautiful. Then I put in some crystal earrings. Then I heard my mom calling my downstairs. I walked downstairs and the look on Garfield's face was priceless.
Garfield's POV
Holy shit! Rachel looked beautiful. Her dress was black and purple with lace all over it. She looked beautiful. I felt stupid for wearing sneakers and I arrived without my tie on. "Hi" she said. "Hi can you um... Help me with this stupid thing" I said pulling out my pink tie. "Sure" she said. "I see you've got a little pink there too" I said. "Yeah" she said while tying my tie. She put my flower on my jacket. I pulled out her corsage and put it on her wrist. Rachel's mom was snapping pictures of us. "Ok guys pose for the picture" Rachel's mom said. I shook Mr.Wayne's hand. "Thank you for letting me escort your daughter to the prom" I said. "You are certainly welcome" he said shaking my hand. "Mrs. Wayne thank you" I said. She hugged me. Which was kind of awkward because I was so tall. I hugged her back. "No thank you Garfield for protecting Rachel and your welcome" she said. We walked out to the limo that everyone that was a senior was in and was our friends. Dick and Kora were there. Jessica and Wally. Vic and Billie. Then the driver started the car and drove to the prom.
"You look beautiful Rachel" said Billie. "Thank you Billie" said Rachel. Small conversations like this went on all the way to the gymnasium. "So sneakers?" Rachel said. "I'm different" I said shrugging my shoulders. "I like different" she said. "Are you taller?" I asked. "Please it's called high heels" she said. I smirked. She grabbed my hand and we walked to the gymnasium. The theme was apparently opposites attract. Ironic right. We posed for the prom pictures. Blah blah all that prom crap. Then Rachel asked me "will you dance with me?" "Ugh I have two left feet" I said. "Well I have two right ones come on" she said pulling me up to my feet. She walked me to the dance floor. I slid my hand onto her hip. She put her hand on my shoulder and she grabbed my hand. "Ok I lead right" I said. "You're the guy right" she said. "I hope so" I said. I began to dance with her. "Whoa you're a good dancer" she said. "Really" I said. "Yeah" she said. "Well Mrs.Roth shall we take it up a step" I said. "I think we should Mr.Logan" she said. I grabbed both of her hips in my hands and she put her hands on my shoulders. "I think I might like you in high heels" I said. "Why?" She asked. "Because I don't have to bend down to do this" I said as I pulled her into a kiss. A perfect couple you could say. I released her. We began to dance again. Her dress swayed as her feet as we danced. "I see you've died your hair black again." I said. "Yeah I thought classic would look good" Rachel said. Then all of sudden the music stopped and the dj said "now it's time to announce the king and queen of the prom" then he said "and the prom king is drumroll please.... The Great Garfield Logan" I ran up to the stage and the English teacher tried to put to crown on my head but she couldn't reach my head "here" I said and I took a knee. She placed the crown on my head. "Thank you Garfield I remember when you were a short like body now you're a god." She said. "Thank you Mrs. Kim" I said. Then the dj said "prom queen time and the prom queen in drumroll... Terra Mack" I almost puked because didn't the king and queen have to dance. I shuttered. "What Terra is the runner up the prom queen is actually. Rachel Roth" said the dj. Thank god! When Rachel walked up on stage. Mrs.Kim put the queen's crown on her head.The spotlight was on us. No one made a sound. Then I got nervous. I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me. I kissed her. Everyone started cheering. Then I spun her. I winked at the dj. He started to play a song. I walked her down to my dance floor. Shit I wanted to start some footloose bullshit but I didn't. I danced with her then the music stopped. Then the bass dropped and the party started. I grabbed Rachel and started dancing with her.
