Loving A Rivers (Third book in Rivers series)

Chapter 29

Chapter 29

Violet's POV:

"You look so good." I smiled as I finished Briana's makeup. She frowned up at me and huffed.

"I feel like a tramp." She said.

"You look so good." Paige smiled.

"You look amazing." I said fluffing out her messy curls more. I helped her into her dress and pulled out her bright red heels.

My hair had two pieces braided back and the rest waved along with simple makeup. I pulled on my dress and slid on my strappy heels. Paige had her hair in a cute yet messy bun and a tight black dress.

"Girls, your boys are here." My mom called. We walked downstairs and my mom clapped happily and Zachary smiled. Trent, Logan and Luke waited patiently.

No, Luke and I were not going together.

In fact Zach was a little tense at allowing Luke into my household. All the girls got pictures taken with their corsages and I sighed quietly. I didn't have a corsage or cute prom photos. Luke stood against the wall and watched as well.

"Vi, I got you something." Zach said. He pulled out a clear tin with a beautiful large white flower with silver beads and jewels decorating the petals.

"Oh Zach, that's beautiful." My mom said.

"Since Jeffrey decided to be a dick, I thought you deserved to still be treated like a princess." He smiled.

"Thanks Zach, I love it." I smiled and he kissed my head.

"Have fun kids!" My mom waved.

"Bye Ms. McKinnon!" They all called as we headed out the door. We piled into the limo and turned up the music in the back.

"Have a little taste before prom?" Trent smirked pulling out a small bottle of Grey Goose. He passed it around as everyone took a swig. It landed in my hands last and they all cheered.

"Come on lax star! Live a little!" They yelled. I smiled and took a drink and immediately regretted it as the liquid felt like acid down my throat.

"Goddamn that's rough." I said handing it back to Trent.

"Way to go McKinnon." He approved.

-----

Finally we got to the hotel and people booked in for their room. By people I meant couples, for the after prom sex.

We walked in and stopped at the prom king and queen nomination table.

"Violet you were nominated for prom queen!" Paige squealed.

"What?" I asked frowning.

"Yea, you, Cadence and Ashley Thompson." She said.

"Wow, I didn't know people liked me." I said.

"Are you kidding? Lacrosse captain? Future Yale student?" Briana laughed check marking my name. I smiled and check marked Ashley's name before placing it back in. I looked at the prom king nominations and gasped.

Sam on the football team was nominated- no way would I vote for him, he's a dick.

The next was Corbin Matthews, he was a stuck up rich kid who wore only Lacoste and Ralph Lauren.

The final nominee was none other than,

Luke Rivers.

If you didn't see that coming then there is something wrong, like come on guys.

I quickly checked off Luke's name before stuffing it into the box.

We found our table and sat down, of course Luke sat next to me and I had to bite back a sigh of distress. Luke was wearing a black tux along with a black shirt with the top two buttons undone. He looked amazing and so cute with his little suit.

"So, before dinner are we going to hit the dance floor?" Paige sang while waving her arms in the air.

"I'm already done with these heels." Briana groaned.

"Just embrace the pain, Bri. It's one night." I said taking a sip of water.

"Well you ladies can go dance." Luke said looking around.

"Looking for someone?" I asked.

"No, relax Emerald." He smirked winking at me.
