    We had stayed at the playground for hours and it was late so everyone went back home, Chris had insisted on taking me home but I said he should get back home and go get some sleep. Also, walking by myself gave me some time to think, I hadn't had much time to myself lately, so I was glad to get some.

   I had applied to Harvard, Poppy and Minty had promised me that they had too which was going to be great. I couldn't wait for, hopefully, all of us to get into the same university.

    It was two weeks until graduation and I was so excited. Chris was going to study at NYU which wasn't too far from Harvard so we were planning on finding a place together, somewhere in the middle. Poppy, Bucky, Minty and Tony would stay there too.

    Everything was planned out and I couldn't have felt more confident to leave high school. We were planning on having a graduation party with the gang as a last hurrah, we had all spent the entire high school all together and although we had fights and argued we never broke apart and we all fit.

    I opened the door to my house to find my parents asleep on the couch in each other's arms, I smiled and left the staircase lights on so they could go upstairs if they woke up and decided to get into their bed.

    I entered my bedroom, I sat and stared at the pinboard above my desk. I looked at some of the pictures which had on there. The talent show, Labor Day, Independence Day, that Christmas that josh and I spent together. I switched off my lights and fell asleep, in my jeans and shirt. Oh yeah prom is in a week and I haven't got a dress.

   1 week until senior prom....

      The girls and I were out shopping for my prom dress which I had forgotten to get. I meant to get it a long time ago but I just forgot. Chris said he only had one nice tie, which was red so we were on the hunt for a red dress.

    With no hope, we entered the last high street dress store. Like all the stores the dresses were organized into color on the racks. The rack of red clothes was nearer to the front so we walked over to the red dresses. They all started throwing size 8 dresses at me. None of them looked nice, I was in the changing room on my knees wishing that there was a dress that looked nice on me. Then I saw a dress at the bottom of the pile, I tried it on. It was perfect.

    I walked out the changing room, sneaked over to the cashier, bought the dress and then said "Guys! Let's go!"

   "Did you find a dress?" Everyone said in unison

   "Yeah."

   "Where is it can we see?" Asked Emily

   "Nope."

   "What? Why?" Complained Minty

    "It's a surprise."

    Eventually everyone got the message and we headed out, back to my place. Poppy came over and smiled sweetly at me.

    "Not a chance Achte." I walked off and opened the door, leaving my best friend dumbstruck.

    Prom day...

    The bell rung signaling the end of lessons. We had created a plan the guys were going to Chris's house and the girls were coming to mine. Then the guys would come in a limo and pick us up at my house at nine.

   It was absolute chaos at my house. Everyone was frantically running around preparing their outfit. I took my things and snuck upstairs to my parents bathroom and got ready.

   I got out the shower, blow dried my hair, put on my make up and then put on my dress.

   My phone got a text from Poppy, were waiting outside where r u???

    I grabbed my red clutch and went downstairs as quickly as possible. I took my house keys out of the dish and took and deep breath and opened the door.

OH MY GOD MY BEST FRIEND IS STUNNING!

Chris's POV

   The door opened, I took a deep breath as she opened the door. I saw a red high heel poke out first. Then I saw her...

    She was beautiful. Her dress had small straps and reached her ankles, it was flowy and there was a slit that started above her left knee.

    Morgan blushed as she walked down the porch steps, she approached me and I ran up to her I picked her up and twirled her around, I then brought her down and kissed her.

    Everyone clambered into the limo and Morgan sat on my lap. We were laughing and chatting. Prom was going to be the best night ever.
