<P>We got to prom just in time to walk on the red carpet. Yeah it's corny but I had fun posing for the fake "paparrazi" . Prom was being held at this luxurious hotel in upper Maryland. The place was so beautiful. When we got in I was in awe at the decorations. The commitee had really worked hard and it showed. People were commenting me left and right on my oufit, how good I looked, I even got compliments on my corsage. They said it was the ffinshing touch, which completed the outfit. I was suprised when Tasha commented on it. </P>
<P>"The corsage really is pretty. Seems like it was made just for you. " </P>
<P>"Thanks." I said. </P>
<P>"Kevin really knows how to ppick em." </P>
<P>"Kevin didn't get this for me. " </P>
<P>"What ? Isn't he your date ? Then you got it for yourself ." </P>
<P>"Nope Jamal got it for me." Tasha sucked her teeth. She knew how much I liked Jamal but for some odd reason she didn't like him. She thought I could do better than him which was crazy cause to me. Jamal was simply perfection. There was no getting better than that. </P>
<P>"Neemah when are you going to open your eyes. Jamal ? The same Jamal who is going out with Monique ? " I almost forgot Jamal had a girlfriend. " Im tired of seeing you sellin yourself short." What Tasha was saying struck a cord. One I which was never struck. She was right in some ways. Other than tonight Jamal had never really showed that much interest in us being together."Okay, okay I get what you're saying. But forget about Jamal. This is prom sis. Our last high school function" she laughed. "Let's enjoy it" I grabbed her hand and we ran to the dance floor. We made it just as "Cali Swagg District -Teach Me How To Dougie" started playing. We had no idea what we were doing but we were having fun. After a few more dances I looked out to the sitting areas. I saw Kevin sitting all by himself. I walked over to him. </P>
<P>"Babe what's wrong ?" No answer. </P>
<P>"You still mad about the corsage ?" Still no answer. </P>
<P>"It's not that serious. If you want I'll throw it away. " </P>
<P>"Im waiting." Kevin said. </P>
<P>'What ?" </P>
<P>"Neemah throw it away. " </P>
<P>"I can't it'll be rude to just throw it away. That's a waste of money. " </P>
<P>"So it wasn't rude not to take mine? " </P>
<P>"Kevin it doesn't mean anything. I told you there's nothing going on between me and Jamal." </P>
<P>"It has nothing to do with that. It's the principle of things. Your date is supposed to get you a corsage. So how do you think I feel when people ask where you got it from and you tellin them another dude got it for you ?" He had a point. " Neemah I love you. Even after all the times we fought and broke up I still loved you." I was an idiot. Here Kevin was telling me how much he loved me but I was still stuck on Jamal. Mind you who had never even told me I love you. I took the corsage off then walked to the trash can. Plop. I threw it in. </P>
<P>"Are you happy now ?" He got up then kissed me. It was just a soft peck but I couldn't help but blush. He pushed my hair from my ear. </P>
<P>"Now put this on so people know you're mine. " he whispered in my ear. He took my hand then put the corsage he bought on it. "Marvin Gaye - Let's Make Love" started playin. He took my hand then lead me to the dance floor. He put his hands around my waist and I put mines around his neck. We danced together all night . I started thinking. Maybe lovin someone wasn't enough. I deserved to be treated good and loved back. </P>
<P>One thing I hated about my school was the fact that the administrators were stupid. Graduation was planned the day after prom. I don't even know if they're were thinking when they did that. Prom wasn't over till one and people probably wouldn't go home til 4. The only smart thing they did was put graduation at 5 pm. At least then I could get some sleep.</P>
