Cherri's P.O.V.

Prom was buzzing.

I swear, I’d never seen so many people in our school hall at one time.

I took a deep breath, taking comfort from Jake’s hand in mine.

“Hey, babe, you okay?” his minty breath swirled in my ear.

I looked up at my handsome boyfriend, his eyebrows knotted together in concern and smiled.

“Jake, it’s fine. I’m just... nervous, that’s all.” I let out my breath

He smirked, “Hell, we’re going to be the hottest couple in the whole school, just roll with it.”

I laughed, “You’re confident, aren’t you player?”

“Seeing as I have the most beautiful girl on my arm about to walk into my senior prom, then yeah, I have a reason to be confident.” He stated

I lowered my head and blushed. He said I was beautiful...

“You are so cute when you blush!” he cooed

“Oh shut up!” I hit his chest playfully and he rubbed it in mock horror

“That cut deep Cherri Pie.”

I rolled my eyes at him.

“Ready?”

“Sure.”

He opened the door and we stepped inside.

It was almost as if they all sensed me walking into the room as almost everyone turned their heads.

The girls gasped and whispered and the boys were looking me up and down lustfully, flirtily, making me feel uncomfortable.

I saw Keisha, looking gorgeous as usual in a long midnight blue gown with a plunging neckline and she stared at me, her mouth slightly open and I spotted... wait... envy?

I took a double take. Nate?

Nate had his arm around her waist, yet he was staring at me so lustfully, I actually had to check that I wasn’t naked.

“Told you.”

Jake’s voice in my ear made me jump slightly but I smiled all the same.

“How about we give them something to stare about?”

He raised an eyebrow, “What did you have in mind?”

I smiled before grabbing his shirt collar and pulling his lips to mine.

More gasps. I pretended not to notice. I blocked out the gasps and the stares and the flickering of cameras. I just concentrated on this moment with the boy... or should I say man of my dreams.

He pulled away from me, a huge smile radiating across his face.

“There, all better now Mr Banks?”

He flashed me a flirty smile, “Much, thank you Miss Alonso.”

God, the way he said that was so hot!

They were all staring at us.

“Show’s over people!” Jake shouted.

They all looked like he had just snapped them out of a hypnotic state and went back to dancing and chatting, the hubbub filling the air once more.
