The Boy Next Door

"Who's Excited?"

"So who's excited about prom, I mean it's right around the corner and I heard from Jacob in my history class that it's going to be the best social event of the year," I bragged to Dani and Claire.

It had been a couple of weeks since my party and we were making it close to the end of the school year. Prom was just a few weeks away, and graduation was going to be a month after. So I was very excited about it. As for Dani, Claire and I, we all grown to be attached to one another. Out of the weeks since my party, Dani, Claire, and I learned to bond. It was like Dani was the piece of the puzzle that was missing.

"I'm totally excited, just waiting to be asked to the prom," Claire confessed, adjusting her book bag on her shoulder.

"I can't wait either," Dani responded.

Walking down the hallway I made my way to health class dragging Dani with me after Claire ventured off the her next class. I never knew I had a class with Dani until after my party. "So when are we going dress shopping for prom?" Dani squealed.

"I don't know but it should be sometime soon so we have time to look a bunch of different places to find the right dresses and I gotta run it by Claire too." I said smiling in the direction ahead of myself.

"Okay cool, any idea what color you're going for?" Dani wondered.

"Not at the moment, you?" I responded.

"I might go for a green, purple, or orange dress to compliment my skin tone. I think light pink or baby blue would look great on you," Dani informed. Before I knew it, Dani and I were in our next class in no time considering we were talking the whole way there.

"Hello class, i'm Ms. Jamison. I'll be your substitute teacher for the day." The young looking teacher announced as the class filled in.

"Oh, today is gonna be easy," Dani turned to me with an obvious smirk plastered on her face.

"What do you mean?" I asked looking confused.

"I'm simply gonna sleep the entire class." Dani smiled putting her head down.

"Typical," I giggled lightly, waiting for the teacher to give us the lesson of the day.

The class had scurried by and Dani had managed to sleep the whole hour. After the first half of my schedule had past by, it was lunch time and I wasn't looking forward to it. Although it's been a couple of weeks since my party, people still found that video that Ashley and her minions made to be funny, and some people just weren't mature enough to let it go.

"So Claire, Dani and I had been talking about prom and we wanted to know if you would like to go dress shopping with us. I know how much prom means to you since this is our last year, so we thought it would be a good idea for all of us to go together. Pick out the perfect dress, the perfect shoes, ya know, a girls day, you could call it," I spoke. looking up at Claire. She had finally broke her eyes away from her Twilight book to focus on what I was saying.

"That sounds superb," Claire responds, taking a sip of her Cranberry Apple juice. "So when are these plans taking effect? I have a lot of studying I have to do for the end of the year and I don't really want prom to come in between anything. I'm just really trying to keep my scholarship," Claire confessed.

"Well, maybe next Friday. Do you think you'd be busy then?" Dani questioned.

"Next Friday sounds perfect," Claire responded simply.

"Good," Dani replied with a big smile.

"Well then it's all set," Claire responded.

"So do you ladies have a date to prom?" Justin asked, taking a bite out of his ham sandwich.
