The Stranger

Chapter Four

I just read through a book I wrote but didn't publish and I really like it and want to publish it. The only thing is it is based off the show and not the cast and I don't know if you guys want to read that or not.

***Comment or message me whether or not you'd like to read that.***

Today is the day. Prom.

Morgan and I just got back from the salon where we got hair, makeup, and nails done. Neither of us did any crazy nails, I got a French Manicure and she got a pale pink. We are back at my house starting to get ready and everyone else should be here in about half an hour. Though Josh and Jordan may be a little earlier than that.

Prom starts at eight, we have dinner reservations at six, we plan to take pictures at four thirty, and right now it is a quarter after four.

"What color is your dress?" Morgan asks. "Tiffany Blue I assume," she laughs.

"You know it," I say. "Even though I wore Tiffany Blue last year for Prom and this year for Homecoming," I bite my lip. "I think I have a problem."

"It's your good luck color," she points out. "Last year at Prom Jaclyn tried to spill punch on you and ended up spilling on herself, and at Homecoming you won Homecoming Queen."

"This year my dress is really different," I say. "It doesn't poof out at he skirt this time, now it is just a straight skirt."

"But princess style is your thing," she points out.

"I'm going for a change," I state while placing my hands on my hip. "What color is your dress?"

"Pink," she smiles. "And sparkly," she says with jazz hands and I just laugh.

I go to my closet, which is basically just another room, to get my dress and change. I carefully slip into my dress and put on my silver open-toed heels. I take a step in front of my full length mirror. My dress, like I said, is Tiffany Blue and has a straight skirt, it has a sweet heart neckline and is basically strapless besides the useless strap that goes from the middle of the neckline and over my left shoulder, it just looks pretty. The strap is covered with rhinestones that continue down the front and go on the top of my right ribs, almost like I am wearing a sash made of rhinestones. The dress has a slit on the right leg that goes up to my mid-thigh. My hair is in a fancy twisted half up half down look, I'm not quite sure how to describe it, and is curled to perfection. There is a nice hair piece that is placed where my hair meets for the half up half down.

I walk out of my closet to see Morgan already changed into her dress. It is strapless, pale pink, and the top is completely covered with rhinestones that slowly decrease in number as the dress goes on. She looks at me and sighs.

"You look gorgeous," she smiles.

"So do you," I say smiling so much my face hurts." Jordan is going to love it."

"Josh is going to love it."

We hear the doorbell ring followed by my parents opening and closing the door. Seconds later my mom goes on the intercom to say Josh and Jordan are hear.

"Okay, I'm going down first because I want to see Josh's reaction when he sees you," she says before walking out the door.

Once she's gone I wait in my room until she texts me saying I can come down. I take one last look in the mirror then take a deep breath. I'm nervous, but excited. I have no idea what to expect from tonight. When I reach the stairs I over hear Josh talking to my parents, I lean against the wall and listen.
