Chapter 54: Prom (Part I)

A FEW WEEKS LATER

*Chris's POV*

Weeks go by and I made a fast recovery from my injuries. Kamaal and I are closer than ever. I'm finally back in school, and everyone treats me like a charity case, or like I'm a thug or something. Everyday it's either "I'm glad you're ok" "OMG you're safe" or "what was it like to be kidnapped" from the ignorant ones. Why the hell would you ask somebody that? The only people who knew what I've been through is Kamaal, Trey and Myra. Kamaal sticks to his promise by never leaving my side. Wherever I go, he goes. He even spends more nights at my house than he does at his own house. From what Mookie told Kamaal, the guys who kidnapped me turned themselves in, and Jamal went down with them. The basketball team and the step team won the state title and I couldn't be happier. Now that all that is over, it's the most anticipated time of the year, prom. All throughout school you see females with booklets of prom dresses and some of their dates who could really care less. I'm sitting at the table with Myra and Trey as we discuss our plans for prom. Myra is really going in.

"Oohhh y'all should see the dress I'm gonna get. It's yellow, it has all this sparkly shit around it, it's a little short but not to short. OMG I can't wait."

"Demetri how do you feel about this?" Trey asks

"I didn't plan on going, but Myra convinced me."

"Chris are you going with anybody?"

"Duh! Kamaal is taking me!"

"But prom is for a boy and a girl to go. I've never heard of a gay couple going."

"Well you're about to see it, because Kamaal is more excited than I am."

Eventually Kamaal walks over to the table with a suit book in his hand.

"Whats that baby?"

"This book of prom suits I found at the mall yesterday. Bae we should get this one."

Kamaal turns the book to the page  of the suit he wants and my eyes get big. 

"Ooooh I like that one!"

"Right! Nobody's gonna be wearing this one! It's different."

"Let me see!" Trey says

"Hell nah, so you could steal our idea?'

"Trey who are you going to prom with?" I ask him

"Tiara and I are going together. She wants to wear pink, but I ain't with that shit."

"Why not? Pink would look good on you Trey."

"Nah, I'll wear purple or something, but pink ain't my thing."

"Well Chris, we got an appointment with the company today after school so we can get fitted." Kamaal says 

"Damn...y'all check my baby out being on top of shit. Good boy!"

I pat him on his head and hand him a mini chips ahoy cookie.

"You so silly bae. But I'll meet you at your car after school so we can go."

"Aight baby, I'll see you then."

"Muah, love you."

"Love you too punk."

Kamaal walks away as I have this twinkle in my eyes. I look over at Trey, Demetri, and Myra as they stare at me. 

"What are y'all looking at?"

The rest of the day goes by, and I walk to my car. I look in the parking lot and see Kamaal leaning up against my car. 

"Boy get yo dirty ass off my car!"
