Chapter Thirty-One - Shopping Pigs On Drugs

CONNOR

We were in the dining room eating dinner when Kara's phone and mine dinged at the same time. We looked at each other before fishing our phone out and looking at the notification.

School Administration – One New Message

I swiped it open.

SA: Dear 2020 graduates, it is saddening to hear what had happened to our beloved school building. Most of you may think the Graduation Prom is cancelled, but it is most definitely not. Prom will be held on 12th November at Migria Hall, Ventura, 7 pm. We hope to see you there!

Prom's still on? Seriously?

'Guess so.'

You got the same prom text? – Connor

Yeah. – Kara

I looked at her and she smiled adorably at me. Someone cleared their throat and our heads shot up. Papà looked at us, "What's got you both so happy?"

She nudged me, signaling for me to say. I smiled, "Prom's happening."

Silence.

I sometimes prefer this kind of silence-

"Oh, my Wolverine!"

...wut...

"Are you saying that I can see one of my figlio get dressed up with his mate?" mamma asked. I laughed, "That's how I said it."

"Mamma, I went to prom too," Col pouted. She sighed, "You weren't with a decent girl. The 'date' you brought barely wore anything."

Kara stiffened beside me and I held her hand reassuringly. She gave me a small smile.

"Well, time for some shopping!" mamma and Carla said.

KARA

Carla and I were walking from store to store, trying to find the perfect dress.

We came with the twins, Hays, and Grey, but they went off to do 'men shopping' (their words, not mine), which I'm confident consists of buying the first thing you see and going to a fast food restaurant.

We have already went through the seventh store and my legs were sore. I've always wondered how other girls shopped for literal hours.

"C'mon, Kara, this is the store, I'm sure of it!" Carla said while pulling me in.

"That's what you said for the last four."

She sent me a playful glare and I sent one back, challenging her to continue. We laughed and walked around the store, trying to find a prom dress. I was looking around when my eyes landed on one particular dress that stood out. I gravitated towards it and held it in my hands.

It was a pastel blue off-the-shoulder dress with a laced patterned top half and a calf length bottom half with layers of mesh over it, making it super-duper soft. I sensed Carla walking over to me and gasping.

"Yes! That's it! Go try it on!"

I took the dress and she shooed me into the changing room. I took my sweet time changing into the clothing, and when I'm done, I took a look in the full length mirror.

Oh, my! Kara, you look too beautiful to be real!

'Thanks, Snow.'

She wagged her tail excitedly. I pulled my long hair out of my ponytail and let it flow down my back. Opening the door to show Carla, I thought to myself what Connor was getting. My train of thoughts were broken when I heard a high pitched scream.

"Kara!" she screamed, standing up and hugging me.

"If I was lesbian, I would totally do you," she said while being overly excited. I laughed at that, "Well, you still have to fight with another three guys."

She giggled, "I'll get them to back off, no worries. Now, come on. Take it off and let's go pay."

I changed back into my clothes and went out to pay for the dress. I took out the black card Connor lent me to pay.

I didn't want to take his money. But if I didn't, he'd spoil me till I was an Alpha no more. His words, not mine.

After paying, we walked out of the store and I immediately mind linked Connor.

Where are you? – Kara

McDonalds, second floor. – Connor

See? What did I tell you?

We're coming. – Kara

I looked at Carla, "They're at a McD on the second floor."

She nodded and we headed for the restaurant.

We entered and saw four of them stuffing burgers and fries down their throat. Carla and I looked at each other with disgust all over our faces.

They eat like hobos, I swear to Wolverine. – Carla

I know, right? – Kara

We went to them and she slammed her hands on the table, frightening Hays and Collin, the other two didn't even flinch.

"Can you not eat like pigs on drugs?" she said. The guys laughed. Connor pulled me to sit on his lap while Grey had Carla on his. Connor wiped his mouth before kissing my cheek.

"I missed you like cray-cray."

"Cray-cray? Who says that? And thank you for having the decency to wipe your mouth before putting it on my face."

"People, and you're welcome."

I stole a fry before snuggling into his warmth. He glanced at the bag beside, "Can I see?" I shook my head and he pouted. I pinched his cheek, "Prom's literally a week away. You'll see by then."

His lips tilted upwards into a crooked grin before he kissed me.

So prom's happening! Chapter's a little short as it is a filler chapter, but the next will be quite long...I think.
Again, happy birthday to my best friend Avril! Can't thank you enough for being in my life. Stay healthy and stay beautiful, gurl!
