Ranae nervously walked towards the ball room double doors along with Devante where the dance was taking place. For some reason she was shocked to see him actually show up to her porch in his suit, he really came through. They drove here in his black convertible with the top down and throughout the whole ride they caught everybody's attention.

Unlike her parents, her big brother was the only person side eyeing the fact that this jodeci boy was taking her to prom. How did that happen? Ranae mom didn't seem to find anything wrong, she was just excited to dress her up. Her dad made sure to let Devante know to have her back home right after prom, she wanted to stay out a little late though.

The only reason why Demarcus kept his mouth shut was because he knew his little sister was a big fan of this man, shoot she got a gigantic poster of him on her wall. On the other hand he sees it as her living out her fairy tale, she's going to prom with THE Devante Swing! That's a story she'll never get tired of talking about.

Donald and Ranae finally stepped foot inside the ball room and all eyes were on them. Donald looked down and smirked at her causing butterflies in her stomach. She couldn't believe any of this was happening right now, it felt so surreal.

Ranae decided to go with the color yellow for prom and she's proud she did. Once they walked in, they saw girls all over the dance floor with red, blue, green, and black dresses on. She was probably the only girl to show up and yellow thank goodness. Devante came dressed up in his silky black suit looking mighty fine. She made sure to compliment him a few times in the car being that she never saw him dressed up before other than wearing leather.

"Look at you catching everybody attention" Donald joked with that deep voice causing her to playfully smack her lips.

"Mmmhh, are you sure you ain't the one they're starring down?"

"Maybe" He said with a cocky smile causing her to roll her eyes. Donald didn't have no security guard with him tonight so any girl was free to come over and snatch him up. Ranae thought it would be best to come with one but Donald wanted this night to be normal, him being a celebrity won't help though.

They met up with her group of friends who were sitting at a table near the dance floor. Once they approached them, all of their mouths were hung open at who Ranae mysterious prom date turned out to be. That and how good she looked in her dress and heels.

"You look gorgeous boo!" Tarika said first standing up to give her a hug "I'm not surprised who you showed up with! I seen that coming when you wouldn't tell us who it was"

"I'm not surprised either" Crystal mumbled while holding her cup of punch.

Jarvis glanced between the both of them trying to figure out how any of this happened. Ranae locked eyes with him for a split second and he nervously looked down fumbling with his already fixed tie "Soo? Are y'all a item or something?" He questioned them.

Ranae knew someone was gonna ask that once they showed up but it still caught her off guard. Before she could answer, Devante did it for her "No, I just thought it would be nice to escort her to prom" He smirked over at Jarvis but he kept a straight face "I wanted to come have fun anyway"

"You should've brought the boys along too! Y'all could've gave us a show!" Ricky suggested.

"Nah tonight it's just a normal night for me" Donald said and while talking he could feel a few students getting closer to their table but never turned around. He wasn't signing anything tonight, not even taking pictures and he didn't care who called him rude.
