A Blue Charlotte

Chapter 9

The day went by like any other day. Pretty fast. She was excited for Prom, which just made it go by faster, somehow. When the bell rang at 3:00, everyone said their goodbyes to their teachers, some promising to come visit them when they had the time, some smiling and being cocky, while others cried and felt blessed to have such awesome teachers. Blue found Noel by the water fountain. She smirked. "How was your date with Matt~?" She purred, swooning next to him. Noel blushed a bright pink. "Shhh!! It was.. Good" He smiled sheepishly, his freckles turning a light pink. "A word of advice..." Blue whispered, motioning him to come closer. He did.

"If you ever hurt my brother, even though you're my friend, I know where you live. I will get you" She growled, smiling innocently afterwards. Noel looked horrified. Blue walked away, happy with herself. "That wasn't advice!" Noel yelled after her, turning away. Nope. Blue doesn't give advice. To anyone. She met up with JJ by the back. He grabbed her hand, twirled her into him, and kissed her softly on the lips. Blue's heart fluttered. He looked at her, after breaking the kiss, held her hand up and kissed the knuckle gently.

"I love you.. So much, Blue" He mumbled, looking deeply into her eyes. Almost like he was looking for something. Blue looked down, smiling. " I love you too, JJ". They walked to his car, holding hands. They got in and then headed to his place. "I'll grab my things and we'll go to your place. We got 3 hours to get ready. Let's hurry" He grinned, stepping on the gas. When he got in his drive-way, he swiftly got out of the car, into his house, and then a second later, he was back in the car with his things.

He drove to Blue's house, not living very far from hers, parking in the space just reserved for his car. They ran into the house, giggling, greeting her dad and Tara, and they ran upstairs. "2 hours and 35 minutes. Leeeeeettt'sssss goooooo" JJ yelled, pumping his fist into the air. He put a thumbs up. Blue turned on some up-beat music and they got to work.

JJ took a shower, as Blue had taken one that morning. He talked to her about the plan he had for Prom, before he found out Blue liked him, through the door. Blue giggled. He had wanted to ask her, but in a very goofy way. When he got out, Blue waxed her legs and arms while JJ picked at his nose hairs and shaved his face. Blue rubbed her knuckle across his face. "Baby soft.." She grinned, walking out of the bathroom.

She sat at her vanity, pulling out all the make-up she needed. She put foundation on JJ's scar and the tiny pimple next to his nose. She was about to put foundation on her birthmark, but JJ stopped her. "No. It's beautiful" He said, looking her in the eye. She blushed. She rubbed foundation all over her face, used a pen on her eyebrows to make them even, used pink blush, put blue eyeshadow on her lids, and put her strawberry lipgloss on. She put moose in her hair, running her fingers through it.

She used white strips on her teeth and put her earrings and necklace on. She looked across her shoulder at JJ. "How do I look?" She asked, licking her lips slightly. JJ blushed, not wanting to look away. "B-Beautiful as ever" He mumbled, putting on deodorant.

They then started to get dressed. Blue had a big fluffy blue dress like cinderellas and JJ had a smooth black tuxedo. For the last hour, they struggled with JJ's hair. Blue put her hair half up and half down. JJ's hair was really messy, so she had to grab a lot of gel to slick it back and comb it. Blue's necklace got stuck to her hair and JJ had trouble putting on his tie. When they were ready, they thought it was worth it. "You look amazing" JJ smirked, nudging her.

Blue smiled, touching up her strawberry lip gloss before heading out of the room. When they got downstairs, Tara was in tears. "Oh sweet mother of Jesus Christ, you two look stunning" She cried. She urged them to take pictures. Blue rolled her eyes, smiling while JJ insisted with her. That took almost 10 minutes of their time. "You look....amazing!" Her dad beamed when he got home just before they left. He was on the brink of tears, just like Tara. They got in the car and looked at one another.
