Its finally prom week! The prom is on Saturday and I went shopping yesterday with my mom, Emily and her mom. I never imagined there would be so much variety for prom dresses. There are some shops dedicated only for selling prom dresses. We went to 2 or 3 stores before I found the perfect dress for me. Emily found hers in the first store we visited, I don't know how. If I am being honest, I have never worn a gown before so I was looking for a short dress but nothing actually caught me eye, since we were late I guess. But a long gown did catch my attention and I gotta agree, I did look sexy in it. I bought a pair of heels to go along with it. I bought the cheapest matching heels, because we are trying to cut down on our expenses incase another unemployment situation arises soon.

Amy, Emily and I stand in front of the mirror in Amy's house. I am wearing a plain black  gown with full net sleeves. The upper half of the dress is decorated with lace with gives it a very elegant look. There is a slit down from my thigh which leaves my left leg bare, luckily its not a cold day. I pair it with a sling bag, my black heels and faux diamond bracelet. I am not a makeup person except when I have to for dance, so I just put on very light eyeshadow, eyeliner and a nudish-light pink lipstick. Amy has done a done a heavy eye makeup with a glossy pine green dress and matching heels. Emily has gone with a pretty lavender dress and a minimal makeup look. The doorbell rings and we all rush downstairs. The three guys have bought their own vehicles so we'll be travelling separately. 

Liam gets me a corsage to wear on the wrist, I wear it on my the wrist which doesn't have my bracelet. I probably will remove it by the end of the night,  I don't like wearing things on my wrist for long periods, the bracelet will also be off. I get in the Audi with Liam and we drive off to school. The parking lot is completely full with students in formal dresses, gowns and tuxedos. Liam looks extremely handsome in his Italian black tuxedo over a white shirt with a black bow tie matching my dress. Saying that I drooled a tiny bit when I saw him would be an understatement. I was ogling at him at my front door for 5 minutes, you would too if u saw him looking like a god damn Italian Mafia. I will voluntarily get kidnapped.

We walk into the gymnasium and I cannot believe my eyes, it does not look like a freaking gymnasium. At the entrance there is a photobooth with its background as a cafe called Cafe de Paris, decorated with fairy lights and surrounded by 2 flowerpots of roses. We take a picture in the cafe. The organising committee has put a lot of effort and thought into the decoration and planning and as a result our gymnasium is a picturesque sight. In another corner of the huge room is the Eiffel Tower, shining in all its glory. A DJ is playing music on the stage and people are vibing to the songs. Above the stage, the golden balloons spell out 'Class of 2021'. We spot Emily, Ian and Wesley at the food table and walk over there. There are cupcakes with 'oui,oui' written on its wrapping paper. The food is also French themed, not really, croissants, french fries, chips. There is normal juice in wine bottles, because obviously its still school. But to give a feel of Paris, they put it in wine bottles. 

"Danseras-tu avec moi?", I ask Liam even though I know he doesn't dance, a girl's gotta try.

"Oui oui"

"Really? I asked you to dance", I don't think he comprehended my sentence in French.

"Yes madame. Prom is the day even I'll dance. This day ain't coming again", he takes my hand and guides us to the dance floor. Even Emily looks at him as if she's seen a ghost. She and Ian soon follow us to the dance floor. The DJ plays all the bops- Dynamite, Say so, Wannabe by spice girls and we jump up and down to the music having the time of our life. The vibe of the party slowly changes and slow songs are being played-- Perfect, Forever and always, You and I. I am covered in sweat and I can feels the beads of sweat slither down my back till my ass and even further. Ashley has been throwing daggers at me using her eyes. It wasn't enough that she was jealous of me in dance, now she even wants my boyfriend. She has made that clear enough by flirting with him in front of me. Ruby too tried to trip Amy while dancing innumerable times because apparently she had plans with Amy's boyfriend and her ex since last year to go to prom and do whatever they wanted to do but Amy stole her chance. 

We go back home every single joint in the body paining. All of us stop at a small diner on the way home to have some food and dessert. I crash on my bed as soon as I get home, I don't even bother wiping out the make-up before going to sleep.

                                                                                             *****

We are back in Liam's backyard playing football after almost 2 weeks. My mom didn't want me to come today because she was having a bad gut feeling. I have had these gut feelings but mine are almost never true, she doesn't even know what this feeling is indicating. I almost didn't come because I don't feel like playing today and my legs feel sore, I don't think I'll be able to play today.

"Let's just chill today please, I feel like that leg from my basketball accident is acting up, paining a little", I mention to Liam as we are passing the ball to each other.

"Oh this a excuse a lot of us use with coach, but he always makes us practice... so you gotta practice Pez"  

"Why will I lie to you?"

"Come on just 2 matches, I for once have extreme energy flowing through me today", I can't say no to people for a long time so I give in.

He wasn't lying when he said he is extremely energetic today. He is playing in full form and very aggressive. I run trying to catch up with him and take the ball from him. When I have the ball in my control....I feel him run up behind me. Before I know it, he is trying to take the ball away from me and in the momentary aggression, his studs hit me forcefully in the knee and my knee twists making me fall down with a force. I hit the green grass below us and that is all I remember before things slowly go black.
