So Zack has been writing to me for two weeks trying to ask me things about this girl he likes. I have wrote back once or twice but it's hard when you like him. But that's what I get for opening up my heart. Doesn’t matter now, prom is tonight and I am going alone. I wouldn’t be going if Emma hadn’t made me promise. Now I have to spend my day at school with everyone talking about prom.
As I was getting books from my locker Zack came up to me and said, “Hey Abby.”
“Hey Zack.” I said back.
“So I was…” He started to say but I cut him off.
“I am glad your going with Rachel. You guys are a good match. I know everyone will be voting for you two as King and Queen.” I said trying not to sound sad.
“Well, I haven’t asked her I…” He started.
“Well you should. I know it can be scary but just follow your heart. Let it speak for you.” I said. I heard him starting to say something but I walked away. I couldn’t let him see my face.
Prom Night
“You ready?" Emma said before we walked into the doors of the gym.
“I guess.” I said.
“Umm, Peter could you give us a minute?” Emma said to her prom date Peter.
“Sure.” He said walking off.
“You can do this. You look beautiful.” She said pointing at my light blue, short, no sleeves, with sequins at the top, dress.
“Thanks.” I said.
“Just go in and have fun.” Emma said.
After that she went to go find Peter while I walked in by myself. The gym was decorated in laces and banners of all kinds of light colors. There was pink, blue, green, and many more colors. It was beautiful. Over on the dance floor I could see Zack and Rachel dancing together. He was in a tux while she was wearing a purple gown. They looked nice together.
“Okay everyone! It's time to announce your prom king and queen!” Our teacher said while the whole school was shouting for joy.
Opening up the envelope our teacher read out our queen, “Our new queen is... Rachel!” Everyone applauded and then went silent to see who the king would be. “And our new king is... Zack!” She said after opening the envelope. Everyone cheered and applauded.
He went up to except his crown while Rachel kissed him on the cheek. Everyone knew they were the perfect couple.
While this was going on one of Zack’s friends said, “Congrats buddy on the crown and your girl.” For some reason Zack’s face wasn’t smiling anymore.
“Wait! I would like to make a speech if that's okay.” Zack said.
“Of course!” Our teacher said handing him the microphone.
“I am the captain of the basketball team,” He started while his team cheered. “some people could say I am popular. And before tonight I cared about what you all thought of me and I cared about that title. But tonight I realized that it doesn’t matter.” He continued then stared at me. “I don’t need your approval to like who I like. Because to be honest, my heart is telling me that I want someone else. Abby can you come up here?” He asked staring at me. While I was making my way up, I could see that all eyes are on me.
“Zack what are you doing?” I asked when I got up here.
“Abby, will you be my date to the prom?” He asked.
“Zack!” I said surprised. “Yes!”
“Great!” He said looking happy again. “And Rachel I am sorry but my heart belongs to her."
“But..” She started to say but then ran off.
“Do you want to dance?” He asked me when he noticed the slow dance music coming on.
“Sure.” I said. When I got on the dance floor I saw Emma giving me the thumbs up.
“You know that advice with following my heart was good advise... Secret Cupid.” He whispered to me.
“What how did you…” I started to say.
“I just knew I guess.” He said.
“Sorry about not really writing back. I was going to but I just couldn’t you see. I liked you but I thought you liked Rachel and then…” I started to babble but then was stopped by Zack's lips.
“How was that?” He asked pulling back from the kiss smiling.
“Perfect.” I said leaning in for another kiss.
