3.Prom - Jonathan Byers

//This is a request for beanscobain . I hope you'll like it. Enjoy :)//

Prom. The awfully cliché night full of sweaty elegant dressed teenagers grinding on each other. That is really, REALLY not my thing. While the other girls are buying dresses and getting ready for 'the most exciting night of their lives', I'm just waiting for all this to end.

I was never the average girl, I was always more of a tomboy. I would always choose shirt and sweets over a fancy dress. I don't have a lot of friends, nor I'm popular. My best friend is Jonathan Byers, but I sometimes hang out with Nancy Wheeler too. Not too much anymore since she started dating Steve and hanging out with his friends.

"So you're really not going to prom?" My thoughts were interrupted by Jonathan who was sitting in front of me at lunch in school.
"No, why are you bothering me about this Jonathan? It's not really a big deal anyway." I answered not looking up from food I was eating.
"It is to me! I want my best friend next to me. It would be stupid if I'm just gonna stand there alone in a corner." He rubbed my hand with his thumb.

"I don't think I would be much of a help there." I chuckled just at the thought of it.
"Oh come on Emily! Did I ever let you down? No, I didn't! I even dressed as a princess that one time when we were six when that girl pushed you of the swing and you started crying. Just to make YOU happy!" He laughted at himself.
"Yeah, I remember that. You helped me to get to my house and I couldn't stop crying because my knee was hurting so bad. And then you went off somewhere and when you returned you were dressed in that princess dress that mom got me for my birthday. I have never even attempted to wear it because I really didn't like it. That pink color was hurting my eyes." I remembered.
"I didn't like it either. I only did it to make you smile." He smiled at me.

"Ugh fine! I'll go to prom with you!" I said acting annoyed.
"Really? Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You're not gonna regret it, I promise." He replied.
"I need to go get books for my next class. I'll see you later Emily!" He waved at me.

~~~~~~THE PROM NIGHT~~~~~~

"I don't wanna wear a dress Nancy!" I said for the thousand time tonight.
"Did you really expect to go to prom in your sweats? Sorry if this dissapoints you but you're not walking out of this room until you put a dress on!" She told me strictly.
"But why? Why Nancy?" I asked annoyed.
"Because. Now come on the guys are gonna be here soon. I have the perfect dress for you actually." She said while grabbing something out of her closet.
"What you think?" She asked.

She showed me a long black dress, quite simple but really beautiful.

(This is how the dress should look ⬆➡ Somewhere here...)

"Yea umm... I like it. It's pretty." I answered.
"Great! Now go put that on and this heels then I'll do your hair and make up."

After we both got dressed, Nancy first finished her make up and hair and then mine. I must say that she did a really good job. My make up was really nice light color which gave me a natural look and my light brown hair was left down and the tips were curled.

"Girls! Your dates are here!" I heard Mrs. Wheeler shout from downstairs.
"Do I look good?" Nancy asked me while looking at herself in the mirror.
She was wearing a long red dress in which she looked really beautiful and her hair was down too.
"You look awesome, really. Steve is going to drool over you the whole night." We both laughed.
"Please! If anyone is going to drool tonight that will be Jonathan when he sees you. You look so good Emily! You should definitely wear your hair down more often." She smiled at me.
"Thank you Nancy. For everything, if it wasn't for you I'll probably still lay in bed with sweats on." I laughed.
"You probably would yea. Let's go down stairs now, they're waiting for us." She opened her bedroom door and started walking down the stairs.

I held on everything I could reach carefully not to fall because let me tell you, it's not easy walking in heels.
We finally got downstairs just to see both Steve and Jonathan. They both looked really nice wearing their suits, but I had my eyes only on Jonathan. Steve must of heard us because he turned his head our way.
"Wow. You look beautiful. Both of you." He said while standing up from the couch and walking up to us.
Jonathan turned to look at us too after he heard Steve.
"You really do look beautiful. I'm gonna have to fight all of those guys at prom cause of you." He chuckled coming closer to where we stood.

"There you are! You both look so beautiful! Like angels. This is the first time I see you with your hair down Emily, I must say you look really amazing sweetie! Now, we need to get pictures of you. Come on, who's first?" Nancy's parents came out of the kitchen.
"Mom really? Is this really necessary?" Nancy asked.
"Yes! You need something that will remind you of this night." Mrs. Wheeler said.

After the Photoshop at Nancy's house we finally arrived to school. We went to the gym and there it was. All the popular kids, the jocks, nerds, emos... Basically everyone.
"You wanna dance?" Jonathan whispered in my ear.
"But we just got here." I replied confused.
"I know, but I just can't wait." He said.
"Fine. Nancy we're going to dance." I told her.
"Ok, have fun. We'll be sitting over there." She said pointing to the tables.

We walked to the dance floor and started moving to the rhythm of the slow song in the background. I had my hands around his neck and his hands were around my waist. He was still taller than me even though I was wearing heels.

"Can I tell you something?" I heard him whisper in my ear.
"Hmm..." I nodded.
"I love you Emily." He said.
"I love you too Jonathan." I smiled at him.
"No, you don't understand. I love you more th-" I cut him off.
"I know Jonathan. I love you too." I said.
"Can I kiss you?" He asked me.

I didn't answer him. I just leaned in and kissed him. We stayed like that for the rest of the night... Dancing, kissing and having fun. It really was a night to remember.
