Prom is in 3 weeks. Payton and I have silently agreed to go together, but he hasn't promposed. So, I decided I'm going to prompose to him. I'm thinking of maybe using Chick-fil-A, since that's his favorite place. I'm going to drive to North Carolina today after school - it's a Friday - then get the supplies I need before setting up and heading to his house. I talked to Joanne, his mom, yesterday and made all the plans. After about 10 minutes of her gushing about how excited she was to see us at prom together and see my promposal, she invited me to stay for the weekend to help plan colors and corsages/boutonnières for our prom outfits. She also explained that she would help distract him while I was getting everything together.

*After school
As soon as the bell rang, I ran to my car. I already had a small bag packed to stay the with Payton. After three and a half hours of jamming to blackbear, LANY, 5sos, and Jeremy Zucker I arrived at a local craft store in Mooresville North Carolina. Faith met me there so she could help pick out things.
"How about lets just get a big poster board and a bunch of markers?" Faith asked.
"That works! Should we add glitter?" I replied.
"Hm. Let's do glitter glue. It's less of a mess." She said back and I nodded. We went different directions each looking for different things. She found the markers and glitter glue while I found poster boards. I grabbed two just in case I messed up spelling. We met at the cash register and got in line. As the employee was scanning my items I began to get nervous. I don't know why I'm nervous, I'm pretty positive he'll say yes - Especially if I'm buying him food. However, he could say no and go with one of the other one hundred girls that asked him already. Ugh now I'm hella scared. I stared off into space letting my thoughts take over.
"Alex, you alright?" Faith asked tapping my shoulder causing me to jump.
"Uh, yea. I'm fine." I said quickly and then paid for my stuff. Faith and I figured it'd be easier to go ahead and set up the poster board with what I'm going to write on it and add the glitter glue so it has time to dry. We sat up a small craft station in the back of my Jeep. I wrote "don't be CHICKEN go to prom with me?" I wrote all of it in marker except "chicken" because I wrote that in red glitter glue. After signing my name and adding a heart, Faith went back home to help distract Payton since he wanted to out and get food. I quickly drove to Chick-fil-A to order his normal meal and as well order me some food. As soon as I got my order, I drove to Payton's house. I parked a little ways down the street since Joanne said he was skateboarding in the driveway of his house. She agreed to record it so we could keep it as a memory. I got out of my car and walked to the back to open it. I took a deep breath and pushed away all the negative thoughts. I grabbed the poster and Payton's food. I messaged Joanne saying I was about to walk up so she could go outside. I started to walk down the street getting closer to Pay's house. My heart was racing and I was still nervous. I saw Payton as he did a kick flip and landed it - it took everything in me to not cheer for him. I was about 8 feet away when he turned around and saw me. He smiled really big as he began to walk closer. I held the poster up along with his bag of food.
"Prom? Of course I'll go to prom with you!" He shouted and ran towards me. He picked me up and spun me around for a second before putting me down to kiss me.
"Thank god. I was really scared you'd say no." I sighed.
"Baby, you know I'd never miss prom with you." He replied.
"We're going to your prom though, because I don't want the kids at my school to spaz out." I said and he nodded. After our little moment, we went back to my car to park it closer to his house. Then we got all my stuff out of my car and went into his house to eat then chill out with his family.

*The night before prom
*Still Alex's POV

I sat on Payton's bed as he showered. I was watching shameless as he came out of the bathroom in just sweatpants. I continued to watch shameless on my laptop - that was sat next to me. Payton huffed and I just laughed at my show. He got tired of me ignoring him, so he walked across his room, closer to the bed, and laid across me getting in the way of my view of my laptop.
"Hey! I was trying to watch that!" I said as he closed my laptop.
"I don't care. I want attention from my girlfriend!" He whined and rolled over to look at me. God, almost a year of being with Payton and I still get chills when he calls me his girlfriend. I ran my hand through his hair, that was all fluffy since he had blow dried it.
"I'm so excited for prom." I said as I smiled.
"Me too, you're going to look absolutely gorgeous." He replied.
"You're gonna look hot as fuck!" I said then laughed.
"Well, i was gonna say that, but I was trying to be a gentleman." He responded then joined me laughing.
He then moved off of me and laid down beside me. I sat my laptop on the floor before clicking the lamp off, and cuddling into Payton. We soon both fell asleep in each other's arms.
