I'll Be the Light

The Plan

*Colton's POV*

Last night the love of my life became my girlfriend. I had a huge smile on my face as I walked down the stairs to the kitchen for breakfast this morning. "Ooo why are you all smiley?" My mom grinned. "I asked Genna out last night and she said yes." I said. "Aww! That's sweet. I'm happy for you Colton." She said, kissing my head as she set breakfast before me. "Thanks mom." I said and began to shove scrambled eggs and bacon in my mouth. "Maybe Genna should come over for dinner sometime. She could bring her family." My dad said as he flipped through the news paper. "Yeah we can work that out." I said. "Hey Schyler have you found a prom dress yet?" Mom asked. 'Prom?' "No I was going to ask you if you and I could go dress shopping today." Schyler replied. "Of course honey. After breakfast we'll go." Mom said. "Wait Schyler, you have prom?" I asked. 'How come Genna never told me?' "Yeah we do this Saturday. Genna didn't tell you?" She said. "Apparently not. Do you know why she didn't? I would like to take her." I asked. She shrugged. "Maybe it's because you guys just started dating and because she didn't think she'd have a date." She said. "Why wouldn't Genna have a date?" I asked. "Colton you just saw how the girls treat her with Daniella and her little group. Take a guess at how the guys treat her." She said as she put her plate in the sink and rinsed it off. 'Man that stinks. I'm going to have to change that.' And I began to plan. "Hey Schyler can you bring Genna with you to find a dress? Don't give anything away, just say that you want her opinion. I'm going to take her to prom. Whatever one she seems the most interested in, buy it please. I'll pay you back over time." I said, standing next to her. "I can do that. What's your plan though? How are you going to ask her?" She eyed me. "Oh don't worry. You're going to be my minion in this plan. Muwahaha!" I evilly laughed. She chuckled. "You're so weird." She said. "I know." I agreed. "So what do I have to do?" She asked. "Ok so this is how it's going to go." I began to explain the plan to her. This is going to be so much fun.

*Genna's POV*

"Please come with Genna! I want your opinion on the dresses." Schyler begged on my doorstep. She's been doing this for at least five minutes now while her mom waited in the car. I sighed. "Fine I'll co-" I was interrupted as she grabbed my arm and began to drag me towards the car. "Great! We're leaving now." She said, laughing as I tried to regain my balance. I laughed too. She's crazy. Schyler got shot gun while I got in the back. Mrs. Dixon was driving. "Hi Genna. Nice to see you again. It's good to see that you've recovered." Mrs. Dixon said, giving me a warm smile. "Thanks Mrs. Dixon. It's nice to see you too." I smiled back. "Oh please, call me Teresa." She said. I nodded. We began to drive to the store and Schylar and I sang to all the songs on the radio. Teresa just laughed at our antics. We parked the car and entered. Schyler and I immediately raced to the racks and began to search for a dress for her. "What color are you going for Schy?" I asked as I looked through the expensive gowns. "Purple!" She shouted, earning a "shhh" from the cashier. I went over to the purple dresses and pulled out two that I thought she would love. I walked over to her and showed her. "I love this one!" She pointed to the one in my left hand. It was a long dress that was poofy at the bottom and strapless and had a black sash going across the middle. It was gorgeous and it would fit her perfectly. She went over to the shoes and began to look for black heels. I got bored so I looked at some dresses. I went through blues, reds, greens, purples, and even oranges and I didn't find one I would like. Then I got to the yellows and I stopped. There was a long dress that was strapless and had a diamond clip in the middle, giving the dress a bit of sparkle. It was a pale yellow and I absolutely loved it. My mom always told me I looked good in yellow. "Do you love that dress?" I jumped as Schyler's voice came from behind me. "If I could marry that dress I would. It's gorgeous." I said. She giggled and took it off the rack. "What are you doing?" I asked. She ignored me and went to the cashier and said something to her and the cashier took the dress and hung it up behind the counter. Schyler came back to me with a grin on her face. "What did you do? You are not buying that dress it's too expensive." I said. "I'm not going to. I just put it on hold. If I change my mind about the purple dress I'm just going to go with that one." She said. I nodded and she bought her dress and heels and we went back to the car and drove away. "Oh wait mom can we run to school? I need to get some homework I left there." Schyler asked. "Got it." Teresa said and began to drive that way. 'Schyler forgot homework? That's weird. She never forgets anything.' I thought.
