Prom is in an hour and Samantha and I are in my room at Reece's getting ready.
She is staring at me trying to figure out how she wants to do my hair. She already did my make-up. She skipped putting foundation on me, said something along the lines of 'your face is too pretty for foundation.' She then gave me a smokey eye, put mascara on me, then put on a peach colored matte lipstick.
"Aha! I got it!" She screamed getting behind me. She grabs my brush and brushes my hair, but she makes it seem so easy. It's hard for me to even brush my hair due to having really curly hair.
She runs over to her bag and gets a flat iron out and plugs it in and within five minutes she starts straightening my hair.
"I can't wait to see Reece's face when he see's you." She says.
"I won't be that attractive." I say.
"No, you will be. You are that attractive without even trying. So imagine how you will look when you are completely ready." She says.
It goes silent for a while. I am just sitting here watching her finish the last touches to my hair. She has straightened it then she ran out and came back with a few flowers and pinned them into my hair somehow.
"Go get your dress on." She says. I go into the closet, grab my dress and heels then I head into the bathroom.
I carefully put the dress on then I put on the heels and walk out. I stand in front of my mirror and look at myself. Samantha has done a great job.
"Alright, we should be heading downstairs now." Samantha says. I nod my head then we start walking down the stairs.
I keep my head down to the floor while going down the stairs so I can make sure I see where I place my feet at. I usually never wear heels. So it's kind of hard for me right now. I feel like I am going to make a fool of myself and trip and fall down the stairs.
When I get to the bottom step I look up to see Reece with admiration on his face. I look at him good also. He has on a suit and his tie matches the color of my dress. What a coincidence.
I go to take the last step down then I feel myself tumbling forward, but before I could reach the floor I feel arms wrap around me holding me up. I knew that was going to happen!
"You look so beautiful mi amore." Reece says. I let my head hang low so Reece can't see the blush that formed on my face. But he had something else in mind. He grabs my chin and pushes my head up gently and kisses me on the forehead.
"Never try to hide your blush from me. It's cute." He says and makes me blush even harder.
"Okay love birds, if we are going to make it to prom in time then we better get going." Samantha says causing Reece and I to laugh.
We walk out and there is a limo waiting for us. He got a limo just for one night?
"You got a limo?" I ask. He put his hand on the back of his neck.
"Yeah. I hope that's okay." He says.
"It's fine, but you didn't have to get a limo." I say getting in.
"I know." He says.
"So, what are you going to do for your birthday next week?" Samantha says. I immediately put my finger on my mouth telling her to be quiet.
"I didn't know your birthday is next week." Reece says.
"It's just another day." I tell him.
"Her birthday is the day before graduation." Samantha says.
"Oh look, we're here." I say opening the door and getting out.
I've never really even thought about prom. I guess I never seen myself going, but here I am now.
Reece and Samantha follows and Reece tangles his arm with mine as we walk through the school doors.
There are people that turn and stare at us then there are people that just roll their eyes.
We continue walking until we get in the middle of the floor then we start dancing along to the music until a slow song starts. Reece and I wrap each other up in our arms and that is when I pay attention to the theme of prom.
They did an underwater theme. They covered the wall in blue sheets and painted fish, dolphins, and whales all over them. They put a sheet the same way going across the bottom of the stage.
The table they put the refreshments on has a sheet on it with sea turtles. They really went all out for this. It looks amazing.
The slow song went off and we pulled away from each other, but not before giving a kiss to one another. "I'll go get us something to drink." He says walking off.
Just then I turn around to see Maddison and her clones walking up. What does she have to say to me now?
"I figured he would be bored with you by now. He never sticks with a girl this long." She says then walks off. Reece returns with our drinks and hands me mine.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"Nothing. But Maddison walked up to me. She was oddly nice. Kind of." I say.
"Hello students! Are y'all enjoying your night so far?" The principal screams into a microphone. She then pauses after that sentence and all the students scream.
"Well, I am about to announce the prom Queen and king." She says.
"The king is-" She gets cut off by a girl walking up screaming wait.
"I just wanna say that I hope Syana wins. I adore her so much. She is not like most girls that are here." She says then runs off.
"The king is Reece Vik." She shouts. He starts walking up while everyone is clapping.
"The queen is..... Syana Walsh." She screams again. I start walking up and I stand beside Reece and our crowns are put on our heads.
"Now, it's time for the dance." She says into the microphone. Everyone makes a way for us as we walk down into the middle and the song marry me came on. Well that is ironic.
We start dancing to the song then Reece starts whispering in my ear. "I love you so much Syana." He says.
"I love you Reece." I say and look up at him and he's looking down at me. We keep dancing to the song and staring into each other's eyes while smiling. Now this is not how I thought my life would end up at. Me at prom, with the love of my life.
