Maya P.O.V.

"Oh my god I can't believe that we're going to our senior prom!" Riley practically screamed in my ear.

"I know you're exited Riles but you don't have to make me deaf" I said laughing.

"Oops sorry. I'm just really excited, you know?"

"Yeah, I'm really excited too."

She looked at me as if studying my appearance.

"You look beautiful peaches" she said with tears in her eyes.

"Awww honey" I said before giving her a suficating hug.

"Its a good thing we haven't put on our makeup yet" she said laughing as we sobbed into each others shoulders.

I had picked my 2nd dress, the blue one with all the diamonds, and Riley picked her 2nd dress as well, the nude one with the sparkles covering the entire top half. She looked stunning and I couldn't help but cry with her.

After a little bit, I released her and decided it was time to do our makeup. When I finished doing hers, I said "now you better not cry or else you will look like a raccoon."

"Oh shut up and let me do your makeup"she said giggling.

After we were both ready to go, we walked downstairs where our dates were waiting. Brian was a guy that I never really had any interest in until he asked me to go to prom with him. But between then and now, we have gone on a couple dates and he's starting to grow on me. I have to admit, he is pretty good looking, but I need to make sure that he isn't just a player. I don't enjoy false love.

Both me and Riley had told Lucas and Brian to get ties that matched our dresses so we could be all couple-ly and stuff. Riley's idea, not mine.

After many pictures, we got into the limo that Lucas's mom kindly rented for us and made our way to our senior prom.

Riley P.O.V.

When we got there, it was even better than I had imagined. There was loud music with a dance floor like any other prom would be suspected to have. But what made it so special was how beautifully decorated it was. There was ribbon and sculptures, with many blasts of colors everywhere you look. On the stage you could see the prom king and queen crowns. I didn't know who would get them, but me, Lucas, and Brian had all voted for Maya. She had a good chance of winning, she was pretty popular at our school. As for prom king, I don't really know. It will probably end up being one of the football players though.

We danced and drank punch for the next two hours before they got our attention for the reveal of who the prom king and queen were.

"And the John Adams High School prom king is..." There was a pause as Ms. Stevens opened the envelope.

"Tyler Scoven!" I knew it, one of the football players.

"As for the queen... Maya Hart!"

I looked over at her and she had a big smile on her face.

"Go on! Go get your crown, your royal majesty" I said as I bowed to her and she laughed.

She walked up on stage with Tyler and they received their crowns.

"Make room for the lovely pair, and let them have their first dance!" Called Ms. Stevens.

A slow song played and they danced together in the center with a couple of other pairs dancing on the side, Lucas and I being one of them.

When the song ended, Maya came back over to us and grabbed Brian's hand so they could dance together. When she passed by me, she placed the crown on my head and said "you're the real princess. You fought through so much to get here, and you made it. You're all grown up now. And you're beautiful as ever." A tear slid down her cheek and she wiped it away before squeezing me in a tight embrace. "I love you, Riles."

"I love you too, peaches. Now go and dance!"

She hopped over to Brian and they started dancing together. I look at Lucas and started dancing with him as well.

Prom was great. We had lots of fun and Maya was spending the night at my house to close off the night with an amazing sleepover with my best friend. I love her to the moon and back and I don't know what I would do without her.
