Rainbow roses and spiked punch

I spent the morning thinking of Nathan, but for the first time,

On his benefit.

I thought about how much he cared for me, and how little I did to him.

Prom was in four hours and it was only just then that belle suddenly decides to tell me if shes going to prom.

"Vince asked me." She shrieked, calmly, if that can happen.

We both let out a loud shriek and laugh.

"Jeremy asked Char last week amd oh my gods you should have seen it! He was so embarrassed that he bought a pizza and wrote 'prom?' On it with sharpie then semt it to her house!" She said.

"Thats basically temptation!" I replied, laughing.

NATHANS P.O.V

"Relax, dude. You'll be fine. Jaz isnt a judgemental person." Jeremy says, picking out a white tie, to my black suit.

My hands were shaking as I looked in the mirror.

"What if I stuff up? Ill be burnt in terror and embarrssment forever and then she won't like me and evertthimg will fall apart and then I probably wouldnt get a job because id be so unhappy, and then I wont have money and then I wont have food and without food ill-"

"Calm the fuck down dude." Jeremy says.

"Im scared as fuck too, but im winging it.  You should try it sometime" he says, pulling on his tie to straighten it.

I have my flower for Jaz ready. It's a broch, and its one of those rainbow ones. Its got a white ribbon tied around the stem and its kinda cute, not trying to sound weird.

I dont know exactly what im going to do, but I know that ill tell her that I love her tonight. I have the cd of my movie on Jaz.

Its 7pm and im ready to pick Jaz up.

I knock on her door, and she answers it.

She opens the door and in front of  me, stands a very shy, but cute girl.

"You....You look nice." She murmurs, blushing.

My face turns bright red.

I wanted to say something more meaningful but it ended up being

"You look really cute"

She hands me a small gift covered in blue tissue paper and a white ribbon, and I hand her the broch.

She gasps quietly in shock.

"Nathan....it's-"

"I know its not that great, the colours got mixed up and we had no green, so its not really that great but-"

"Beautiful"

I blush in flatter.

She stares at my gift.

"Arent...arent you going to open it?" She says, shyly.

"Oh. Oh yeah uh- of course." I say, as I carefully unwrap the present.

Inside is a carefully framed picture of last nights dinner. Its tinted with a sepia filter and the frame is a slick black.

I hug her amourously and we get into the car.

JAZ P.O.V

Okay, I admit it.

I am so nervous.

I dont want to stuff up.

The doors open and I walk inside, to grab a drink.

As soon as I sip the punch, I spit it out.

"ALCHAHOL?" I scream to myself.

Jeremy and Char walk over and grab a cup.

"High school prom's, my friend" they say in sync.

The sickly taste is practically burnt into my mouth,

gross.

I find myself practically staring at Nathan beside me.

"Hey...are you okay?" He asks, wrapping me around his waist.

I nod and he trails me out to the dance floor.

"No. Way."

"Who'd have thought?"

"Oh, my. God!"

I can hear muffled voices and I can practically sense them staring at me.

I blush.

"Pretend they aren't there" Nathan whispers into my ear as he leads me to dance.

We're dancing so well, until he makes a few weird steps, ruining the dance rythym a little.

I laugh.

"What are you doing?" I say, chuckling.

He looks up, our faces only millimeters apart.

"I don't know, I'm winging it."he says, then planting a small kiss on my forehead.

"do..Do you wanna go somewhere else?" he says, holding my hand tightly.

"sure"  I smile.

It's times like these that don't worry me.

I have my acting debut next month, and I'm ready.

My mother has 2 days to go, but I'm ready for that, too.

He took me to what looked like an overgrown gazebo, and it was beautiful.

It was covered in bright green weeds, but that didn't bother me.

The colour density and brightness of the flowers swallowed it whole.

Every time I twirled, I felt like a princess. I felt warm and calm.

Everything around me seemed to fade and my only focuses was how I felt, and how Nathan was at that moment. Everything was a blur, but that's okay.

When this moment ended, we were called back inside.

"Nat, they're playing the CD in 5 minutes" An unknown voice said.

Yes playing the movie?

"What CD? is that the one you made about me? I haven't even seen it yet!" I panic.

He smirks and drags me inside.

"You will."

NATHANS P.O.V

Despite how confident I looked, I really had no idea how things would turn out, but I knew that I wanted to play the movie.

We walked inside, and went to the stage.

Chairperson, Smith adjusted the microphone and handed it to me.

"First of all, I want to tell you how much fun I had making this movie. And how much I learnt about Jaz, but most of all,

how much she taught me." He smiled and said.

The movie started rolling.

(HEY IM FINALLY ON HOLIDAYS YAS.
