the boys stood in awe, seeing the girls in their dresses, as they walked down the stairs. jules in white, nadia in red, jayden in light blue, lauren in champagne pink, zoe in burgundy, and kenzie in royal blue. the boys were all in suits with ties with the same color of their datsm dresses. they all grinned to each other, enjoying such a cliché moment.
kenzie grinned back at zane, feeling herself getting more and more excited. but right next to zane was johnny, who smiled faintly at zoe, but stared right at kenzie. she's beautiful, he thought, keeping his eyes on her.
"pictures!" melissa squealed, and the group of friends walked out the door. the parents and older siblings took pictures. some group ones, individual ones, and couple ones. after what felt like forever, they finally hopped into the limo, and were taken to where the dance was being held at.
even if it was cliché, they still enjoyed it, based on the fact that it was their first high school dance. the group walked into the venue, and was in awe with the basic, yet beautiful, decorations. red and pink balloons and streamers, a snack table, seats and tables, dance floor, etc. they even had a flower wall with a heart neon light for pictures. "let's go!" jules yelled over the music, and pulled asher into the dance floor. "let's take pictures." kenzie smiled to zane, "yes, let's go." he agreed, and they walked quickly to the flower wall.
after an hour of dancing, drinking punch, videos, and pictures, it was time for the slow dance. kenzie wrapped her hands around zane's neck, as zane held kenzie by her waist. they pulled each other closer, staring into each other's eyes. "you look beautiful." zane said, "thanks," kenzie feeling herself blushing. "you don't look so bad yourself." they both chuckled, and dance silently to the slow song.
zane smiled, "what's on your mind?" kenzie smirked, "i love you." zane said. kenzie was shocked, but eventually smiled. "i love you too." kenzie pulled closer, both leaning in. they kissed under the disco ball. they pulled away, and grinned. kenz laid her head into zane's chest before he got a message. he ignored it, leading the dance but his phone rang and rang.
"go take it." kenzie said, "are you sure?" he asks. "yeah, it's probably important."she smiles, and he ran outside. mackenzie stood alone in the middle of the dance floor. she started to walk away until she heard a voice behind her. "may i have this dance?" she turned around to see johnny with his hand out. he was smirking, but she just rolled her eyes and turned back around.
"okay, wait!" johnny grabbed her arm, stopping her from walking away. "what johnny?" they caused the couples around them to look at them. kenzie feels her face getting red, and johnny chuckled softly. "what do you want, johnny?" she asks. "can we please talk?" he answers. mackenzie sighs, crossing her arms. "fine." johnny smiles, and pulls his hand out again. "i don't think a dance would be appropriate." "fine, let's go to a table,"
they walk to a table and sit down. "okay, look, i'm sorry. i didn't mean to snap at you like that. y-you were right, i was being unreasonable," he says. "i- i just get mad easily, even if i don't have a reason to. if i'm being honest, i was just jealous, okay? and i don't care if we never go that far, i just want to be friends again." he explains and watch as kenzie sighs.
"i- i don't know john. we finally started to get close again, but the next morning, you made me feel like shit." she shifts in her seat. "i kno-" johnny frowns before kenzie interrupted him. "you literally made me feel like it was my fault. not just that day, a couple months ago, when i told you i couldn't date you just yet. i just don't know anymore, john." she frowns back. "please, kenzie? i can't handle you being mad at me." he begs as kenzie thinks about it. "fine, fine. but last chance."
johnny smiled like a fool, hiding his excitement. this made kenzie chuckle a bit, and grinned softly. "bab- oh hey john." zane walks to the two, and smiles at john, who smiles back. "i really need to go. i'm sorry, babe." zane explains to mackenzie, feeling a bit frantic. "no, no, go!" she had an idea of what was going on, and watched her boyfriend walking quickly out the door. she felt a bit bummed, but she knew it was for the best.
she looked down at at her hands, and fiddled with her fingers. john sighed, and frowned. suddenly, the dj starts placing a more upbeat song, and johnny took her hand, "let's go." she smiled as johnny pulled her out of the chair. her smile never fading as she followed johnny to their group of friends. they danced all night. everyone stated to leave when they heard about an after party, which the group obviously went to. the night felt like it was going on forever, but they all had fun.
"laur." kenzie yelled over the loud music and teenagers, "ca- can we go back to your house? i th-think john and i are too drunk." she slurrs, and lauren just laughs. "yeah, yeah. let's go." they all say bye to what's left of the group, and lauren pushes the drunk duo into the back seats of the uber
she gave two waters to johnny and kenzie from the passenger seat, before their uber drives out of the street. "drink up." both kenzie and johnny joked around in the back seat, laughing at stupid shit. lauren, herself was laughing at her drunk brother and bestfriend. "oh shit." johnny gagged, "wha- oh goddamnit, johnny!" she yelled at her brother, who was throwing up in the car. she and the driver looked back at him, for a split second.
but a car came crashing into theirs, and they all saw black.
