( Promise's P.O.V. / 6:30 pm)

I walk into the auditorium with Jay and walk over to Paris and the rest. Hey. Ya'll. I said. Hey. Paris said hugging me. You look so cute. Deja said. Thanks you too. I said. Thanks. I went everywhere looking for this dress. Deja said. Then you waisted your time. Jay mumbled. I elbowed him in the stomach lightly. Why you get a long dress thoe? Paris asked. Cause i don't want to show my legs.I said. Well you worked it. France said. Awh. For the first time she's wearing a dress. Deja said. Shut up. I only did this cause Promise told me to. France said. Well, you look pretty. Paris said. Whatever. France said. A thank you will do. Paris said. Thanks Paris. France said in sarcasm. Whatever. I'm not even going to try. Paris said.

Promise's dress to the side >>>>

Tracy walks over. Hey ya'll. Tracy said. Hey. We all said. You wanna dance? Tracy asked. Sure. Deja said smiling. Awh. I said as they walked away. Demetrius and Khalil walked over with two really pretty girls. I realized it was Jazzy with Khalil, and Tiffany with Demetrius. Hey guys. I said when they walked up to us. Hey. Demetrius said. Nice dress. Khalil said. Thanks. I said. I took Jay's and held it and so did he.

Wanna dance? Jay whispered in my ear. Yes. I said. He lead me to the "dance floor". Oh My Gosh he's going to the middle for attention. I when people just stare at me and stuff. I started blushing a little. He held my waist and took my hand. I took his shoulder and held his hand. When did he learn how to dance like this. Jay was always a hip hop dancer and stuff. Never like this. I thought to myself.

Before i knew it we were dancing. I felt like i was floating on a cloud. I really didn't pay attention when everyone stopped and looked at us. My heart sank in and i guess Jay read my mind. Unless he just knows me really good. It's iight. Don't mind them. Jay said. I smiled and just focused on our dancing.

We stopped dancing and went to the side. Awh! Ya'll were so cute. France said. Thanks. I said smiling. Jay lead me out to the courtyard and we just walked around. I'm wondering what he's up to. Jay? I asked. Yea? He asked. What are you doing? Something for you. He said smashing his lips onto mine. I kissed him back as he held my waist. He pulled away and I smiled as he did. I love when our kisses come unexpectedly, they're just more romantic.

We went back to the auditorium and walked over to Deja. Hey ya'll just in time for prom queen and king. Deja said. Cool. I said.

( Jay's P.O.V.)

Jay Alexzander! Mr.Brown said. I won king? Hell nah Promise better win queen. But I didn't think France meant that when she said she's going to make me prom king. Damn she good. I thought to myself as i walked up onto stage.

And our prom queen is... Prom Lopez! Mr.Brown announced. Mane i'm so relieved. Cause if it was someone else I would die. It would be like i'm stabbing myself 1500 times. Promise walked up on stage and i made an announcement.

Thanks for ya know voting for me. I said. But i really want to make this announcement for my girlfriend Promise Lopez. I know she's been wondering if I love her, which i do. Promise I love you more than anything in the world. If you were my gift for anything it would be you. Whenever you leave me it's like my soul does too. I never want to be separated away from you. Promise best believe i love you. No girl in the world can replace that spot in my heart for you. I continued. Promise came over and hugged me with tears. I love you too. Promise said wrapping her hands around my neck.

We walked off stage and our friends ran up to us. Awh that was so sweet. Deja said. Thanks. I said. That's how you know they going to get married. Demetrius said. For real doe. France said. France whispered something in Promise's ear. For real!? Promise said. Yea. France said smiling. You bets to treat my best friend right or i'll smack the fire out your dang eyes. Promise said stepping up to James. Yea. I know. James said. I didn't know Jay had such touching words in him. Paris said. Well. It's called changing. And plus my ma always writes poems so it come naturally. I said. Well, that was good. Half the people in the back were crying. France said. It was so annoying. France continued. Your so negative. Deja said. I know. I really need to change. France said. And quick. Erin said. Right. Tracy said. So are Erin and Tracy are ya'll going to Stanford with us? Promise asked. Yea. They answered at the same time. Cool. James what bout you? Promise continued. Yea. I been got one. James said. And i thought you were stupid. Paris said. He took all honors classes. Tracy said. You did? Erin asked. Yes. James said. Dang you smart. He good France. Promise said. I knew he was. He's in my mathematics class. France said. Whatever. Promise said walking to the table of fried chicken.

So Jay you plan on purposing? France asked. I looked to the side. Your not suppose to ask that. Erin said. What you mean? France asked. You never ask if someone's going to purpose to someone. He'll purpose to Promise if he still loves her and is ready to support a family. Deja said. Ok, be quiet. I said. Awh, someone blushing. Paris said. Yo. Leave him a,one before he blows. Tracy said. Right. Erin said. Shut up. Paris said walking out.

I mean i wasn't going to get mad. But i'ma let them think what they want. Promise walks back eating chicken. You bring me a piece? I asked. Uhh... you can go over to the table and get some. Promise said. I made a sad face. Promise's laughs. Here. She said giving me a piece. Thanks. I said, Mhmm. She said. I know she hates sharing but she does it because her big heart.

France i just realized you brought a bag.So what it that for? Paris asked. Uhh...you'll see. France said. Hold up. Why all ya'll except me bring one? Why ya'll always leaving me out of stuff? Paris asked/complained. I texted everyone and told them to. Promise said. Not me. Paris said. give me your phone. Promise said. Not with those fingers. Paris said. Ugh. Go to messages and press on my nam- I know what to do. Paris said cutting Promise said. Ok. Promise said. I be right back. Promise said walking out.

Oh. Paris said. I probably didn't pay much attention. Paris continued. Promise comes back in and walks over to us. Did you find it? Promise said. Yea. Paris said looking stupid. But why? Paris asked. Cause were going to change cause were going to go to the courtyard and do crazy things or whatever. France said. Oh damn you bring some extra? Paris asked. I did. Deja said. Thanks. Paris said smiling. I'm a changed now. Demetrius said. Me too. I hate dresses. France said.

Everyone decided to change into their clothes and meet at the courtyard. All the boys were throwing a football.

( Paris's P.O.V )

Hold up, who does this at prom? You're only suppose to stay inside and enjoy your friends and date. I thought to myself. Erin came up to me. Eww smell like grass and sweat. I said. He hugged me laughing. Eww. nasty! get off me sweaty. I said trying to pull him off of me. Awh. You no fun. Erin said pulling away. Yes, i am. I said kissing his cheek. See no fun. I rather have it on the lips. Erin said. I rolled my eyes. So no kiss? Erin asked.

I don't want to be rude but he sounds desperate. I thought to myself. I smashed my lips onto his. He kissed back and held my waist, i wrapped my hands around his neck, and kissed back passionately. Every time i kiss this boy were at war then we go at each others throats as my friends say.

Yo! Stop Thats Too Much ! France shouted. I looked back at her. What? I mean like ya'll were. France said opening her mouth acting like she kissing. I burst out laughing and so did France.

I'll be right back. I said.

( Promise's P.O.V.)

It reached 10:30 pm and everyone had to leave and Psalms arrived right on time. I got in the car smiling. Ohh what happened, Prom Queen? Psalms asked. Jay was super sweet. He made an announcement about me. I said. Awh, what about? Psalms asked. How much he loves me and what i mean to him. Awh, Promise. That's too sweet. I already know ya'll going to get married. I really hope. Psalms. Promise best believe if he slip up i'm there for ya. Like Shawn. Or DaShawn. Psalms you weird for using his whole name. I know what you mean when you say he changed.

Right. But can we go home now. Oh yea. Psalms said driving off. Wow. I said laughing. Did ya'll kiss? Psalms asked. Dang, Psalms. Sorry just want to know. Ok, I understand Ms.Noisy. But yea. I said. Awh! Ya'll danced of course. Did he do hip hop? No. He did the waltz. I said. WHAT! Jay? and waltz? dang. I guess i didn't know him shootooot. Psalms said. I know right. I was kinda surprised too.

We arrived at the house good thing i changed back into my dress. I entered the house and my mama wanted to take more pictures of me. Why are ya'll taking so many pics, let me lie down. I said. No. If we did this to Psalms and Peace were doing it to Promise. Mama said. Ughh... I complained. I took about 18 pics since i'm 18 my parents so say, went upstairs, and took a shower. I threw on my basketball shorts, a sports bra, and put my hair in a braid and put it in a bun.

I went to sleep dreaming about what happened tonight. The best night ever.
