Imaginary Friend

Chapter 10

Celia's mom drove up to the school. "Okay honey, we're here." Celia took out her earphones and looked at the school lit up by colorful lights, music blasting out of the building. Celia looked at her mom. "Thanks mom, I'll see you later." Celia got out of the car and her mom drove away. She sighed and walked into the school, pushing some hair behind her ear. She looked around, eagerly looking for Jack. She sighed when she saw that he wasn't here. She sat down at a nearby bench, not sure of what to do. 

Anne, Cindy, and Elle saw Celia sitting alone. Anne giggled. She walked up to Celia with her two friends behind her. "See? Jack doesn't like you. He didn't even show up. And if he does, he's going to want to spend time with me. You should just go home, go and talk to your imaginary friends." Anne smirked. Celia stood up and pushed Anne against the wall. "Oh, but don't you see the problem here? Jack is imaginary..and I don't care what you say. He's my friend, and you aren't going to come between us." Anne looked Celia in the eyes. "You blush when you're around him, you hug him constantly, you hold his hand, are you sure you're not something more than friends?" Anne asked. Celia sighed, backing a little away from Anne. "I don't know what I feel right now..but I know Jack is my friend, and even if he doesn't like me in that way, he wouldn't ditch me." Celia cried. Anne sighed and walked closer to her. "We'll see about that.." 

Celia looked behind her and saw a teacher. "Excuse me for a second." She ran to the teacher. "Um, do you remember my mom calling you about the girl that ripped my file?" Celia asked. The teacher nodded. Celia pointed at Anne. "That's the girl that did it. And if you don't believe me, someone put it on Snapchat." Celia pulled out her phone and showed the teacher the video. The teacher watched and her eyes widened. She adjusted her glasses and walked over to Anne and her friends. "My office - NOW." Anne looked at Celia with a horrified expression. Celia giggled and waved. "Bye bye, Anne." Anne grunted and walked with the teacher outside. Cindy and Elle followed after her, also horrified of what would happen.

Celia giggled and turned around. She heard blasting music coming from behind her. A large crowd of students were shouting and cheering a name that was familiar to her. Celia pushed through all the people to see someone dancing. Jack was on the floor, amazing everyone. His body was flowing with the music. Everyone was cheering him on as he did amazing dance moves, break-dancing, tap dancing, just wowing the crowd. Celia gasped in amazement as she watched him dance to the music. "Jack! Jack! Jack! Jack! Jack!" The kids chanted. Jack looked to the crowd and saw Celia. He moved towards her and grabbed her hands. "Dance with me!" He cried. 

Celia was reluctant at first, but she wanted to grant him his wish. She started dancing with Jack, twirling around, pulling herself closer to Jack. The two giggled as the students cheered them on. Some of the girls said they were cute together, the guys continued cheering. Jack and Celia continued dancing, the end of the song was drawing near. Jack slowed down, not dancing anymore. "Hey, guess what?" Jack said. Celia tilted her head. "What is it, Jack?" Jack put his hands on her cheeks. "I love you!" He cried, smiling. Celia blushed as Jack leaned in and kissed her gently. All of the students whooped and cheered as the song ended and the kiss broke. 

Jack looked at Celia. "Do you..accept my love in return?" He asked. Celia nodded and shook her head. "I was going to tell you first! But..yes, I do! I do!" She jumped up and hugged him tightly. Jack laughed and hugged back. "This is the best night ever.." He cried. Celia looked into his eyes. "Yes, it truly is the best night ever." Suddenly, all the music died down and the principal went on stage. All of their students turned their attention to the principal. "It's time to announce the King and Queen of prom!" The students cheered and whooped. Jack and Celia smiled. The principal opened his envelope containing the names of the winners. "For our King we have Mr. Jack Parker!" Everyone cheered as Jack went up on stage and got his crown. Celia cheered for him. "Yay Jack!" She cried. 

The principal opened another envelope. "And our queen is..Miss Celia Chance!" Everyone clapped and cheered loudly as Celia went onto the stage next to Jack. Jack turned and put her crown on for her. "My queen..." He whispered. Celia smiled. Jack and Celia turned to the crowd and the audience cheered and clapped. Suddenly, Jack started to fade in and out of reality. Celia let go of his hand and the students gasped and screamed. A tear slid down Jack's face. "It was fun, Celia, goodbye." He became fully invisible and poofed away, his crown falling on the floor. The students screamed. Celia started crying. She grabbed his crown and held it close to her heart. He was gone.
