All In My Head

Chapter 1

"Hazel! Hazel!" cried my best friend Bella. Bella had the most gorgeous dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes, she was a little shorter than me, we've been best friends since fourth grade when I saw her sing on stage at our school talent show and complimented her, that compliment was the start of a great friendship. I on the other hand had brown hair and blue-grey eyes. I had freckles on my small nose and I love directing and film making. "Hey, Bella, what's up?" I answered. "I heard you signed up for prom queen!" she said "Yeah, I did" I said.  "That's awesome, I'll definitely vote for you" said Bella, "Thanks!" I answered.  " You should sign up too, Bella" I added. "Really? You think so?' She asked "Totally" I answered. "Okay I will" And with that said, we walked to class together. On the way there we bumped into Josh, my boyfriend. "Hey Josh" I said "Hey, I voted for you Hazel" he said " Aww, thanks! See you later, gotta get to history." I said. "Bye" he answered. I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and left. Later that day, at home I was doing my homework and I saw that Bella signed up for prom queen so I voted for her. I couldn't help but notice that I was ahead of her for prom queen, I really wanted to be prom queen, but I know so did Bella, I wonder if one of us will end up on top.

Bella and I went prom dress shopping together and we booked an appointment to get our hair and makeup done at a local boutique. It was a perfect last few months of high school. But then prom came.

Bella and I got together a few hours before prom, we went to the boutique and they did our hair and makeup. I got a cute but elegant look, they french braided back the front sections of hair on the side of my head and curled the rest of my hair to make a cute half-up half-down look and my makeup was absolutely gorgeous. Bella got a french braid into a braided bun and she looked absolutely astonishing.  After that, we went to my house and put on our dresses, I had a long burgundy dress that had silver lace on the top part of the dress, just over my hips, the silk stopped and it flowed into a beautiful burgundy material that continued down to my ankles. Bella had a royal blue dress that swayed around her ankles and had silver around her waist.

Josh and Ryan, Bella's boyfriend, picked us up 20 minutes before prom in a limo they rented. Before heading out the door I looked at myself in the mirror one last time and said bye to my parents. Only, I didn't know that it was really goodbye. We got into the limo and drove to school. 

It was amazing, Josh and I danced, talked and laughed all night. Once the night was coming to an end, everyone gathered around the stage to find out who would be crowned prom king and queen. I looked over at Bell, she looked stressed out. I walked over to her and she just walked away. I guess she didn't want be be around me if I or Bella ended up winning.  Suddenly the lights dimmed and I walked back over to Josh, he whispered into my ear " I signed up for prom king, so that maybe we could be king and queen" I was so happy, he wanted to be my king! "Josh, you're already my king, no matter what happens tonight" I whispered back. Our principal walked onto the stage, "In my hand, I have two envelopes, one has the name of our Prom Queen, and one has the name of our Prom King" she said "Now before I announce who won, I just want to thank everyone you signed up and everyone for voting, without the votes, we would not have a Prom King or Queen" she continued, "now, I will announce the prom queen, the winner is..." I looked over at Bella, there were tears in her eyes, something must have happened. "Hazel Williams!" I won! I won! Josh kissed me on the cheek and I walked up on stage. Our principal placed the crown on my head. Everyone was cheering, for me! I looked for Bella but she wasn't there. "Congratulations Hazel, now, our Prom King is..." our principal said. I looked over at Josh, he was smiling like never before, he was so happy. "Josh White!" Josh won! He is my king! He walked onto the stage and the crown was placed on his head. Everyone was still cheering. He walked over to me and kissed me, on the lips this time! The moment seemed to last forever! This is officially the best night ever, but never did I know it was my last.
