Just Keep Swimming

Chapter 16

~1 day later~

It's Junior Prom Night! I'm so excited. I get on the bus with a big smile across my face. As I wait for the my friends' bus stops, 2 and 3, I text Katie. Not Cameron because were talking about how we got to match and stuff like that.

You're wearing the necklace you always wear, right? ~Katie
Yeah, the one Cameron got me. ~Me
Good 'cause I would if I was you ~Katie
Lml, I know you would! ~Me
What about makeup? ~Me
Do the usual... OH BUT MORE SPARKLES!!! ~Katie
Okay, but only if you do the same :P ~Me
Yeah, I was going to... The bus is coming... DELETE THE TEXTS!!! ~Katie

I delete the conversation and turn off my phone. I look up, just as the bus stops. The bus driver greets the students on stop 2 and Katie throws her bag down on the seat across from me. she looks over at me and smiles. We stay silent, just in case we lose track on time and accidentally spill to the guys.
Then Jackson and Cameron get on. We still haven't seen Brandon. He ignores our text, calls, and us at school. It's kind of quiet without him around. I think everyone is now used to him not being around.

"So are you guys ready for prom!," we squeal.
"Yeah, I guess so," they reply.

We frown and look back and forth. Us, them, us, them, us, them.

"I mean OMG YAY PROM," Cameron says girly.
"OH MEH GURD, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THAT!," Jackson mimics.
"NO WAY!"
"YES WAY!" Then they do the "White Chicks" laugh.

We roll our eyes, knowing we have deal with them talking like that for the rest of the ride.

(Later)
•7 pm•
-3 hours until prom-

"Are you girls ready, yet?," my mom yells from down stairs.
"Almost," Katie yells back.
"Well you better hurry, the boys are on their way!," Katie's mom, Sarah, replies.
"Okay," I say back.
"Just need to put the sparkles on you're left eyelid and we will be done," Katie softly says," and done."

I look in the mirror. Wow, I look amazing. I thank Katie. Then, we slide into our shoes and I throw on my necklace, of course. We look into the mirror one last time and take a deep breath. Omg, I'm going to prom!

~~~

"DONE!," Katie screams.

Our moms rush up stairs with cameras and phones in their arms. They have our dads on the look out. Sarah and my mom take millions of photos. Then our dad yell that the boys have arrive. Our moms kiss us, hug us, and cry.

"They grow up so fast," they sob.
"It's not like we're getting married," Katie laughs.
"SHUT UP," my mom says," YOU ARE GONNA MAKE ME CRY MORE!"
I laugh," I love you mom."

They run down stairs. They have video cameras everywhere downstairs and about 4 cameras/phones just to take photos with. We hear the door open and gasp.

•Cameron's pov•

     Jackson and I pull up in my car. We take a deep breath. We actually going to prom! We nod and exhale, through our mouth. We open the door.
     There are cameras EVERYWHERE! I didn't know how many cameras could actually fit into one room until now. There were many videos playing and pictures taken.
     Before we got to see the girls, we talked to their parents for about five minutes.
