I can't believe that prom's tonight and I'm going to be there, alive and with my friends and boyfriend. I literally start to jump up and down like a child when we get into the store. There are so many different suits and I'm literally about to die. Leah sees my reaction and smiles.

"I knew you'd like it." She says. "So let's pick out a suit."

She immediately walk to a light blue one. "This will bring out your eyes. Like for real." She takes it off the rack and puts it in front of me. I swear she's acting like a mom trying to find a outfit for a child.

"I don't want a blue suit." I say.

Leah frowns and puts the suit back on the rack. "Okay. How about this one?" She pulls out a gray plaid suit. I have to admit, it looks nice but it's not that nice for prom. I shake my head.

Leah puts the suit back and puts her hands on her hips. "What do you want in a suit?" She sounds like she is asking me what I like in a guy. But I reply anyways.

"I want something to surprise Elio in a way. Something that says 'wow'" I say.

Leah rolls her eyes. "Okay then what do you think about this one?" She pulls out a suit that is black with a light blue necktie. I look at it like it was made from God himself. I know that it may sound like it's a normal suit but it looks so amazing that I have to get it.

"That's the one." I say.

Leah smiles. "Yay. We have a winner." I laugh.

I'm so happy that I got the suit I wanted. Now I know why girls are always so excited on getting the perfect prom dress. I am officially ready for prom

When we get to my house, I put on my suit immediately. It was kind of hard doing it with a arm and leg cast. But I manage to put it on anyways. When I go downstairs, I see Leah waiting for me. She already has her prom outfit on and can I say that she looks amazing. She has her hair out like usual and her dress is like a golden explosion happening and it's absolutely awesome.

"You look great, Leah." I say.

"Shut up." she says. "But you look great yourself. Even if you have two casts on."

I give out a tiny laugh. "So, when is Elio, Nick, and Abby coming?"

Leah checks her phone. "Abby said that they will be here in like five minutes."

"Okay then." I say.

And five minutes later, Abby comes knocking on the door.

I open the door to see Nick and Abby but no Elio.

"Where is he?" I ask.

Abby smiles. "I promise he's fine. He's just needs to be presented the right way."

I roll my eyes. "Why are you making a big deal out of this?" I ask.

"Because this is the biggest night of our lives and I want to see your reaction to his suit." Abby says.

"Okay. Then present him." I say.

"Close your eyes." she says.

"I don't want to." I say.

"Please." she begs.

"Fine." I say. I close my eyes.

"Okay." I hear Abby say. "Five, four, three, two, one. Open them."
