The Relationship Curse

Pre-Prom

Kenzie's POV

It was the stressful evening before prom. I didn't know what the hell to wear. I knew that this time, I couldn't just wing my outfit. A flannel and jeans, I knew would definitely not work this time. What do I wear man, this was extremely stressful.

I decided to go check the prom pictures from last year to see what people were generally wearing . Most of the girls were in short dresses and had too much cleavage showing. 'Nah, not my style, nah, shitty, too much cleavage, too much legs' these were the overwhelming thoughts going through my head at that point.

I finally decided to ask Cathy if I could borrow one of her dresses.
'Hey Cathy',
'Hey Babe, what's up',
'Do you have any nice longish dress I could borrow please',
'Wait,did you just say you want to wear a dress' she asked excitedly,
'Yeah',
'Wait, are you going to prom',
'Yup',
'Kenzzzz come sit here now!!! Who you going with? When did this happen? Why am I finding out tonight? Kenzzz I'm so happy',
'I'm going with Cason'
'Maxim's brother?',
'Yeah',
'Nice, I have a few dresses which would suit you',
'Not too short please' I emphasize,
'Yeah yeah whatever'

Cathy then showed me a few dresses but they were all too short or some were just not my type. I finally saw the perfect dress. A blue full sleeve, long dress. That's it!

'Hey Cathy, can I borrow that blue dress',
'This one?',
'Yeah',
'Are u sure?',
'Yeah',
'Alright, whatever u wish' she says uncertain about my choice.

I go back to my room and try the dress on. 'Wow, this makes me look quite different and in a good way' I thought to myself.

'Kenz u look extremely hot' Cathy screamed from my door.
'Thanks' I replied.

'Make up or no make up' this was massive debate I was going through. I finally decided no make up. I got my blue flats out and was all set, when Cathy came in with a million necklaces in her hand. 'Ah shit, I can't be asked to choose a necklace now' I thought but in no time had Cathy got out a beautiful pearl necklace, and put it on my neck.

I finally felt satisfied about what I was going to wear tomorrow, and I changed back into my pyjamas and was ready to go to bed, when my phone buzzed.

'Who would text me this late, I barely even get texts' I whispered and went to check. It was a message on the decor committee group that read

'Hey all, please come earlier than the time we had planned tomorrow as we need more time to set things up. By 5pm would be perfect. Also bring your prom date as they may be able to help. Thanks'

Bring your prom date? Should I ask Cason but he's already going to be there so its fine. Thinking about Cason and I being a couple to prom made me so happy, and I slept with that as the last thought in mind.

I woke up smiling and was extremely nervous for today. I spent my whole day thinking about how amazed people are going to be about Cason and I and how happy I was.

It was 4pm when Cathy burst in my room and started shouting
'Kenzie why the hell are you not ready yet?'
'It's 4'
'Exactly, IT'S 4'
'Fine fine' I gave into Cathy's pushy behavior and started getting ready.
I was ready by 4:30 and Cathy opted to drop me.

The journey from home to school felt like the longest. I finally reached school and saw some of the decor committee guys getting in with their prom dates. I tried spotting Cason's car but I couldn't.

I said bye to Cathy, and walked up to the gate. 4:50, 4:55 and there was no sign of Cason.

At 5 sharp I saw Cason's car rolling in, but wait is that a girl with him. 'Who is she?'.

Cason's POV

I sat playing PS all evening, while I thought about prom. I had this real anxiety for prom this time, I don't even know why.

I felt my phone buzz in my pocket and excitedly took it out of my pocket thinking it was a text from her, but instead it was a text from the decor committee group that read

'Hey all, please come earlier than the time we had planned tomorrow as we need more time to set things up. By 5pm would be perfect. Also bring your prom date as they may be able to help. Thanks'

Earlier than 5, shit man. She's not even replying on where I can pick her up from. Its been ages since I texted and she's just not replying .

I fell asleep waiting for her text. I woke up and the first thing I did was check my phone and still no text from her. I sat watching TV all day till 2 when I got a reply at last.

'Hey, pick me up from Crest Mall. I'll be in the parking outside.'

I quickly got ready and hit the road to go pick her up. I reached crest mall by 4:25 and there she was outside the mall. She climbed into my car and we were back on the road and to school now.

As we reached school I saw Kenzie outside but she looked quite surprised when she saw me. Again, I didn't understand this reaction.
