Dear, Riley

Chapter 4

Out of everyone in this school, I think I'm looking forward too Prom the least. Junior prom, what girl wants to spend hundreds of dollars getting their nails done, hair done and buying a dress. I can tell you exactly who, Taylor and Nadia. Prom is two months away and they're forcing me to go dress shopping with them. "I'm not even going to prom." Nadia smiles, "Yes you are. I'm going with Russell and Taylor is going with Alec. So you're going with us." I shake my head as they pull away from my book and into the car, "You're going to Prom whether you like it or not!" I groan and just except the money mom gives me to buy a dress and we arrive at the dress shop twenty minutes later.

I've tried on tons of dresses and I hate every single one. We've tried on every color from pink to black to rainbow and nothing looks good on me. I'm about to give up, "You guys. I give up. There's nothing here." I hear footsteps and Taylor's voice, "You said you weren't getting thus dress right?" I hear someone say, "No. You can take it I found one." I try on the dress its blue with a beaded top and a silky bodice. Its absolutely gorgeous, but on me it looks like a house coat. I can't pull anything off. I walk out of the dressing room and both Taylor and Nadia smile, "That's the one. You look gorgeous in it." I smile and look in the mirror. I actually look decent. "I do look pretty." Nadia stands up holding the peach colored dress she is going to get, "Are you kidding me, Riley? You look amazing, that dress was made for you." I smile and decide that I might as well get it because it looks better than any other dress has.

Three hours later I'm modeling the dress so mom can see it and she smiles, "When did you get so grownup? You look amazing." Dad walks in and I can almost see tears in eyes as he hugs me, "Whatever guy takes you better be ready to deal with your crazy father. Because you look absolutely beautiful, Half-Pint." I smile at the both of them and wrap my arms around them at the same time, "Thank you." They both kiss my forehead before walking out and leaving me too hang my dress back up.

Two Days Later
Brent's Promposal
I've been working on this for two weeks. Ever since the day Simone and I broke up. I know its a long shot because I tried flirting with her all of seventh grade. But maybe this time Riley will say yes. I've got lights and the baseball sign. And candy. Its all set up, with Mr. Johnson's permission, on the table as you walk into the room, I am currently standing here waiting for her and I asked Taylor and Nadia to get her in here early. So Mr.Johnson told her she got a D on a test and of course she is going to be here super early for that. I hear them walking down the hallway and Riley is screaming for them to hurry, so I turn off the lights and turn on mine. Here goes nothing....

(Just imagine that on a table)
She walk in and looms around, then her eyes land on me and I smile, "So?" She looks from me to the sign, "You wanna go to prom.... With me?" I nod and her eyes light up, "Yes!" I hug her and she smiles, "Yes." She did just light up my world, the girl I've had a crush on since she walked into the classroom my fourth grade year said yes to being my prom date.

So she's going to prom with him and just pretend that prom hasn't already ended because they'll start back school really soon.
