The night before prom, Kimberlee slept over at my house. From we knew what prom was, Me, Sadie and Kimberlee had planned to sleep over at my house and then get ready and leave together. Kimberlee's sleeping back was in the middle of the room along with her IPod and headphones.We were sitting in bed painting each others' nails.
Kimberlee was painting my fingers in this shimmery gold nailpolsh she'd bought last year in Mexico. I was using a bright red nail art pen to do little flowers on her nails. There was popcorn all over the place-from our popcorn war- and I had stuck bubblegum to Kimberlee's forehead and she didn't even know. I was literally dying with laughter, but like, not really 'cause I didnt waant her to know something was up.
Eventually, I couldn't hold it in. I burst out laughing almost spilling the red nailpolish.
"What?" Kimberlee asked, raising one perfectly arched eyebrow." Why are you laughing?" she placed the nail polish noisily on the dresser and looked at me impatiently.
"Crazy dream?" I said, saying first thing that came to my head.
"About?"
"I-I don't remember..."
Most people would have just made something up, but Kimberlee would know I was lying before I even started because I'm so dumb I cant even make up a real-sounding dream.
Kimberlee put her hands on her hips. She sighed.
"Just so you know, I know about the bubble gum on my forehead." she said, continuing to apply the nailpolish to my nails.
"Darn." I said, reaching over and pulling it off her skin. I flicked it into a garbage bin on the floor.
It was almost 3 a.m by that time and we were dead tired. So, I crawled under my sheets and Kimberlee crawled in next to me. I mean, I wasn't going to let my best friend sleep on the floor. :/
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning, we woke up really late. When I checked my watch,it was already 4:30. We had planned to get our hair done right before and we might be late for our apppointment.
"Kimberlee!" I screamed. "Get yo ass outta bed! We're gonna be late!"
I quickly jumped into the shower and washed myself, brushed my teeth then exited the bathroom. Kimberlee was leaning on the wall with her towel and toothbrush. She was practically half asleep and I had to nudge her into the bathroom.
I raced down the hall to the room and ruffled through my closet to find something to wear. I looked at the time. We were probably gonna be late. I pulled on a pair of washed out jeans and a DOMO T-shirt. As I squeezed my foot into a pair of flats, Kimberlee tromped into the room, drying the water from her hair. I zipped her into a red sweater and some shorts and we left.
As we pulled into CELEBRITY CUTS, I sighed we were almost ten minutes late. Jumping out of the car, I almost fell. I ran up to the doors, waited for Kimberlee and we went in together.
The lady behind the desk's hair was teased really high and she wore fake eyelashes that looked like spiders on her face.
"Uh., we have an appointment." Kimberlee said, hesitantly.
"Name."
"Um, Axel Martinez..." I said.
"Martinez...Martinezz." she said scanning through her list. "Ah,Martinez! Sit in the waiting room until someone comes assisst you." she said, slamming her book shut and going back to texting on her phone.
Finaly, a guy came over to us. I could tell from his voice and walk that he was gay. His name was Sammy. And while he was doing my hair, he never ONCE stopped talking about his boyfriend. -_- Like, I came here to get my hair done for high school prom NOT to listen to how he serenaded you on your birthday and you made out in the back seat of your Batmobile.
I got my hair done in a half updo with a long braid to the side. Kimberlee settled for a simple bun with tendrils hanging out. Then, we paid our money and left. Bye the time we got home, it was time to start getting ready to leave. I showered again and so did Kimberlee. Afterwards, my room turned into a total PROM BOMB. There were stuff everywhere. We zipped each other into our dresses, desperately trying not to mess our hair up. Finally, I shoved my feet into my sneakers, which had golden glitter on it for the special occasion. I know what you're thinking. It's prom... Why dont I just wear heels? Well young grasshopper, if I'm gonna be standing up and dancing most of the nght I may as well be comfortable and why shoud I buy a pair of heels for 100$ and only wear them one night. LIKE A BOSS.
Kimberlee slipped on some silver flats and we disembarked the stairs. Aunt Merida was sitting on the couch. Dad and Mom had gone out and they wouldnt be back until the weekend. When we stepped down the stairs, Aunt Merida gasped.
"You look lovely, darlings!" she said, sweeping her red hair out of her face. "You're going to make two lovely young men very happy."
We blushed.
Then, the bell rang. Aunt merida went to the door and opened it. Standing there were Jaxton and Milo looking dashing in their dark suits. Jaxton wore a golden tie which I thought was cute because we didnt plan outfits together and Milo wore a grey tie. Jaxton took my arm.
"You look lovely." he whispered.
"Thanks." I said. " You don't look too shabby either."
And then arm in arm,Jaxton and me and KImberlee and Milo headed off to our high school prom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The music was blaring and already several couples were on the dance floor. Jaxton immediately draggged me unto the dancefloorand we started dancing. Jaxton not a bad dancer actually and neither and I so we made a real hit on the dance floor. Everybody was clapping and cheering. Then I looked over to the punch table; Sadie was wearing a sea-blue fitted mini-dress and her face was just pure anger. I buried my head into Jaxton's shoulder. When I looked up again, I was just in time to drag Jaxton out of the way. Sadie actually hurled a cup of punch at us!
I stormed over there. "What do you think you're doing?!!!" I yelled
Sadie just rolled her eyes and walked off.
"I'm going to sit down," I told Jaxton. I headed over to one of the seats at the back. After a while they announced they were going to crown Prom King and Queen. Jaxton took my hand and we walked up to the front of the crowd. We werenominated, but we probably weren't gonna win.
Shelby Moon, student council president walked on stage wearing a floor length green dress. FLAWLESS. She held the card in her hand and cleared her throat.
"Lemme just cut to the chase." she said. " This year's prom King is..."
"JAXTON THOMPSON!!!!!!!"
Jaxton smiled and went on stage. He looked really happy and he did look like royalty with the crown and all.
"Prom queen...."
"AXEL MARTINEZ!"
That's when I literally died. Axel Martinez? That's my name right? I probably didn't hear her.
Then I was being pushed on stage, next to Jaxton in fron of the entire school. I couldnt help but laugh. This was my moment. Then we had a ceremonial slow dance. Jaxton offered to get me some punch, so I found a seat at the back and waited. After a whle, Jaxton didn't come back.
I sighed. I eassed myself off the chair and went looking for him. As I rounded the the corner to the punch bowl I gasped.
Jaxton was there and so was Sadie. And you won't believe this: They were KISSING.
