Entry No. 4
February 8, 2014
Dear 30 Day Diary,
Ugh.. a day late once again since schedule’s a bitch and all.
Anyway…
Today I don’t really feel like saying anything. Well, maybe just one statement.
I feel really creative today! And by creative I mean literary creative… and not artistic creative. I’m no artist that’s why. So err… anyway! I decided to write a short story for this entry. Oh and for the umpteenth time, fuck V-Day.
Kiss
They say that prom is the most memorable part of your high school life. If this is true, then you should make it your best memory right? Well, that’s exactly what I did. My name’s Jessica Peterson and I’m here to tell you the story of my promenade.
“I wish he’d ask you to prom Jess! You two would look so good together!” Ashley exclaimed beside me and I simply rolled my eyes in return.
“Look Ash, I could ask him to prom myself. I know it’s his job, but… I really like him and…”
“Jess! No! You can’t ask him to prom. He’ll take you for granted!”
“He won’t…”
Our argument must have continued for at least fifteen minutes because soon, the bell rang and a familiar blonde boy sat beside me as I felt the familiar skipping of my heartbeat.
‘I’ll ask him during lunch I promise.’ I told myself as I took notes for my English class.
~o~
I headed over to my locker alone since Ash had a quiz to take. It was lunchtime by the way. I’m nervous as hell. But, I know that I can do this. I just need to be… brave.
As I opened my locker, a small paper fell out. Curiously, I bent over and read the paper in my hand.
I have a surprise for you. Just head over to the garden, usual spot.
-James
I felt my cheeks heat up as I slowly closed my locker and smiled foolishly to myself. I started walking over to the said place. With every step I take, I could feel my cheeks getting hotter and hotter.
Stop blushing you idiot!
After walking for what felt like an eternity, I finally reached our place and saw him sitting near the bed of roses under a tree. I approached him and smiled.
“Hey.” We both said at the same time. I giggled; trying to conceal my blush, as he looked away, his cheeks a deep shade of red. I took this chance to finally tell him what’s been bothering me all this time.
“I need to ask you something.” We said in unison once again.
This time, I let him talk as I looked up at him, smiling.
“Jess, I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go to prom?”
“Hmm.. yeah I do, but I don’t have a date…”
I was cut off by a deep chuckle from him as he placed his hand on my head.
“Stupid Jess, that’s not what I meant. I was asking if you wanted to go to prom with me.”
I looked away as my cheeks turned a deep shade of red for the umpteenth time.
“E-erm.. yeah.”
A huge smile appeared on his face as he kissed my forehead.
“You won’t regret it. I promise Jessica”
‘I better not.’
~o~
I entered the beautiful hall where the prom will be held. Wearing my beautiful baby blue knee length dress, I sat down in one of the chairs, waiting for James to arrive.
After ten minutes of sitting down, I decided to get a drink. But before I could even stand up, a hand covered my eyes as a deep voice whispered
“Guess who…”
“Erm… I don’t know, Lucas?”
James removed his hands from my eyes and pouted at me. I must say, he looks stunning in his tux. I also can’t help but notice that his tie matched the color of my dress. My grin widened in realization.
“Sorry I was late. I promise I’ll make it up to you.”
I was about to respond but then a slow song, titled Kiss by TC & Sam Kang played. James offered his hand to me and I accepted it with the biggest grin on my face.
Once we approached the dance floor, he immediately wrapped his hands around my wais as I wrapped mine around his head. Together, we danced quietly in tune with the slow, calming music.
“I’m really glad you said yes.” James told me as he placed his forehead in mine.
“Well, I… I… yeah. Me too.” I stuttered quietly, looking away from his eyes but finding it really hard to.
“H-hey James…” I started out slowly, feeling nervousness take over me.
“Yes?”
“I-I just wanted to say that… I’ve liked you for a while now… and… I know that you won’t feel the same way because you’re really popular and all and could have any girl you’d want…” I exclaimed in one breath but was suddenly cut off when I felt a warm, soft sensation on my lips.
James Winston kissed me.
The boy I liked kissed me!
Slowly, I kissed him back, simply getting lost in the feeling.
We pulled away from each other and I smiled widely at him. Our foreheads touched once again and I closed my eyes.
“Will you be my girl friend Jess?” he whispered.
“Of course” I whispered back.
…
Cheesy as fuck. Worst story line ever. I can’t believe I was so bored that I wrote this.
…
Anyway!
Sincerely Yours,
Ezelle Lucienne
