Chapter 35

Brooke's POV

I smoothed out the skirt of my dress, and I couldn't but smile to myself. It was beautiful. The dress was white with a sweetheart neckline, that was embellished with shiny rhinestones and gold embroidery before spilling to the floor.

"Brooke, stop worrying. You look beautiful in that dress," Tiana assured as she tweaked her makeup. "Come on, let's get our shoes. The guys will be here any minute." We ambled down the stairs and put on our shoes before the bell rang and we opened the door to see two grinning guys in front of us.

"You clean up nice," Tiana grinned at Clayton before kissing him on the cheek.

"I can say the same about you," He grinned back.

"Bow tie?" I asked Zac pointing to his red bow tie, grinning at his choice.

"You love them, remember?" He said rolling his eyes as he began to mimic my voice. "I love bow ties, they're just so cute and fancy and stuff,"

"Shut up," I said playfully hitting him, "Let's go before the line to get in gets too long." Back in freshman year we went to Homecoming as friends since I didn't have a date and Zac was too scared to ask someone. It took about an hour to get in since the teachers had to make sure no one was bringing in any drugs, alcohol or other prohibited items.

The theme this year was 'Under the Sea', which was a pretty good theme considering the last few were 'Wild West' and 'Super Heroes'. We all arrived in, wait for it. . . Tiana's mom's minivan. Yes, it was quite the sight. While everyone was coming out of their fancy white stretch limos, we came from a simple white minivan.

Surprisingly, the line was quick and soon we were in the large gym, which was strewn with tons of decorations. A blue disco ball hung at the ceiling, tinting the room blue. Shiny, wavy, green paper that was cut into long strands making it look like sea weed was along the walls. Tables covered in light blue, plastic tablecloth with little centerpieces that had sparkly, orange fish on them were outside. That left the whole gym as a dance floor and with a stage on one side that had the DJ and all of his equipment, along with the prom king and queen stuff, but I would never bother with that stuff. Of course I wouldn't win, everyone would vote for Shawna, Vienna or someone like that. It was mostly a big popularity contest, but like everyone else I did secretly hope that I would win.

"Let's dance," Zac hollered at me through the loud music. He led me through the crowd of people until we found a spot.

A few songs later, we decided to get some punch that was offered with prom, because if the tickets are a hundred dollars, they better include food and drinks. Sure enough the punch was good and it didn't seem like any of the cafeteria lunch, which was a good thing. We sat down at a table outside feeling the crisp air cool us down.

In the next table over there was another guy in a white bow tie. Other than him and Zac I haven't seen anyone else wear one. My eyes trailed up his body and met his eyes; Adam. My eyes widened and I quickly looked away.

"Uh, I'm gonna get some food," Zac said abruptly.

"Me too," Clayton said.

"Me three," Tiana grinned.

Well, as they went to get some snacks, I sat alone, toying with the tablecloth as I waited for them to get back. Someone slid into the seat next to me and I looked up.
