A few days later I finally catch up on my school work. Prom is tonight and graduation is coming up. My audition is also today. My wrist is now fully healed so I couldn't be more ready. I haven't talked to any of my friends since I left the hospital. I was now getting ready for my audition.

I slipped my pointe shoes in my bag and Max comes up to me. After debating the dogs name for a while I decided on Max. Brandon wanted to name him Nick but I liked Max better.

"I'll be back soon Max," I said petting his head. He licked my face and I grabbed my things and headed out the door.

When I got to the studio I got my number and pinned it on my shirt. I was led into a room full of people auditioning. They all looked super nervous. I took a deep breath to try and calm my nerves and go over my audition dance in my head over and over again.

When my name is called I get up confidently and go into the room. There are three judges staring right at me. I take a nervous gulp and get in my beginning position. I closed my eyes and picture happy things. My friends, Max, Brandon, my studio at home, anything else other than the three people in front of me. When my music starts I spring to life and suddenly all those happy things are in my head and I feel as if I'm in a room all by myself.

I feel light and happy as I dance through my movements and when I finish the look on the judges faces is what pleases me the most.

I almost burst from my excitement when I leave the room but I keep it in until I'm outside and heading to my car.

When I get home I text Brandon about my audition and I head up to my bedroom. I turn my phone off once I text him and I stop when I see something lying on my bed. I get closer and resize it's a dress and there is a note. I pick up the note and unfold it.

Ava, I had this picked out for you since sophomore year. I hope you like it, I'll see you tonight:) Love, Pricilla

I smile and look at the dress. It is a long shimmery gold dress with simple straps at the top. It looked like a princess's dress. It was gorgeous. Max came up behind me and sniffed the dress.

"Do you like it Max?" I asked. "It's for Prom," I say. Speaking of prom I really need to start getting ready.

I quickly take a shower and pretty much pamper myself. I shave...everything, I blow dry my hair, put on a face mask, and do my nails and toenails.

I end up curling the ends of my hair and clipping some parts up with some diamond barrettes. I smile in satisfaction and go to my vanity to start putting on makeup.

I make my eye shadow look like the dress so they match and do the rest of my makeup simple. Max watches next to me as I do this. He barks when I'm finished.

"Max, I'm not done yet," I said smiling. He barked again. I quickly got up and changed out my robe into a bra and underwear and carefully slipped into my dress; scared to mess anything up on it. When I am inside the dress I zip it up and admired myself in the mirror. I've never looked more myself. My phone buzzes and I quickly grab it.

Brandon: Waiting outside;)

I smile and turn my bedroom lights off and grab Brandon's corsage off the kitchen counter. When I go outside Brandon is waiting on the driveway with his hands in his pockets. He smiles when he sees me.

"You look...amazing," he said and I blushed.

"You look beautiful Ava," his mom said coming up behind him.

"Thank you," I said. His mom handed him my corsage and he put it on my wrist. I took mine and pinned it on his tux.

"Okay, now for pictures!" She squealed. I laughed and Brandon nervously laughed with me.

After we took about a thousand pictures we headed to Prom. When we arrived everything was beautifully decorated and everyone looked amazing. I took Brandon's arm and we walked in together. My mouth dropped when we wake in.

"Ava!" I heard my name being screamed. Two girls ran towards me. I dropped Brandon's arm as Jessica and Melody hugged me. I hugged them back.

"How are you?" They both asked.

"I'm fine," I said smiling.

"You look amazing," Jess smiled.

"So do you guys," I said. Then Samara came up from behind Jess and we smiled at each other. Then I see Pricilla and Anthony was up. Wait what?!

"Ava, I love the dress," she winked. I was too surprised to say anything. Brandon smiled and patted Anthony  on the back.

"Let's dance!" Melody said over the music. Brandon squeezed my hand and we all made our way to the dance floor. I laughed as Brandon spun me around and we started to dance.

After we dance for a while we sit down and get some drinks and then it's time to announce the prom king and queen. I stand next to Brandon and my friends in the crowd as our principle announces them.

"And this year's prom queen and king is... Pricilla Wright and Shawn Davis!" She says. Pricilla smiles as everyone claps. She makes her way up to the stage with Shawn and they accept their crowns. I clap and watch them. I guess she got what she always wanted. Pricilla was given the microphone and she looked really happy.

"Thank you so much, but I don't deserve this. My best friend Ava does." She said. She looks at me through the crowd and everyone turns their head. They all start clapping and I start walking up to the stage. I smile when I see her and she puts the crown on my head.

"Thank you," She says hugging me as tears brim in my eyes.

Around 11 o'clock prom starts to die down and slow dances start but I'm too exhausted to dance. Brandon grabs my hand next to me and whispers in my ear.

"Let's get out of here." I look at him and nod. We both get up and head for the exit.

The cool air feels good on my skin and I close my eyes.

"So where are we going?" I asked.

"To get ice cream of course," he smiles. I laugh and follow him to his car. We drive to McDonald's, get ice cream, and sit in the parking lot in his car until the sun comes up.
