Sam Evans. Here's the thing...
Prom was right around the corner. It was another one of the things on the list of lasts for the seniors. This years theme- thanks to senior class president, Brittany- was Dinosaurs. Charlotte was actually very excited to see what Brittany would do because she never disappointed.
Most people were excited for Prom. At least Charlotte was. However, there was an anti-prom being held by Rachel, Kurt and Blaine, who all seemed to be against prom in some way.
As Charlotte was walking to lunch, she got a text from Sam telling her to meet him in the courtyard which was a nice surprise. When she arrived, she found him sat on a step, bouncing his knee up and down nervously.
"Hey, Sam." She greeted as she sat down beside him, giving him a sweet smile which calmed Sam down a bit after having been anxiously planning what he was going to say to her for a while.
"Hey. I have something for you." He said happily as he reached for something behind his back before giving it to her. "I baked you some brownies."
She pouted at how sweet he was and she kissed his cheek in delight before she immediately opened the lid off of the container of brownies, taking one for herself and giving one to Sam.
"Oh my God! These are delicious!" She managed to say with wide eyes, through a mouthful of cake. "How come you made these for me?"
Taking the container out of her hands and placing it to the side side, he stood up, facing her as he spoke, "So, the brownies really have nothing to do with this. I just got hungry and made them when you was shopping with Tina yesterday."
She chuckled at him as she stood up from her seat to face him before he continued, "So, I was thinking. Since you love High School Musical and now you love me more than you love Troy Bolton, I thought we could recreate one of your favourite scenes."
Blushing as she realised what he was going to do, she couldn't bite back her smile and just beamed up at him. Reaching his hand out for her to take, Sam grinned at the look of joy on her face. "Um, so, Can I have this dance?"
"As cheesy as you are, I love you." She giggled and he smiled, proud of his idea.

Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine
And let the music be your guide

That you'll never forget)

And with every step together
We just keep on getting better

Both Sam and Charlotte were in their own little world, totally ignoring the looks they got for being the weird Glee kids who were singing and dancing together around the courtyard in Troy and Gabriella style. It felt as though it was just the two of them and Charlotte swore she couldn't feel happier.
Leaning in towards each other once the song was over, the couple were only torn away from their loving kiss when Becky Jackson scoffed from beside them. "Ugh, get a room! My eyes are burning from how gross you two are!"
Pulling apart, way too happy with each other to even care about Beckys comment, Sam pressed one more quick kiss to Charlotte's lips before stepping away from her only slightly, keeping a hold of her hands.
"I think you just made all my dreams come true." Charlotte giggled, unable to wipe the massive smile off her face.
Sam shook his head but kept a smile on his face. "Not all of them." He pointed to her. "I was trying to make this perfect and then I realised that whatever I did you would tell me was perfect because you'd never want to upset me. Anyway, I'm going off track. But last year we had a pretty perfect prom night, so, you wanna try and beat that this year?"
She beamed excitedly, nodding her head quickly. Sam smiled before making sure she fully understood what he was asking her. "So, you'll come to prom with me?"
"Of course I will." She grinned, her heart racing at the pure happiness she felt simply because of Sam. "Now all my dreams have definitely come true."
Sam pulled Charlotte into a very warm hug, letting out a content sigh. "I love you so much."
"I love you more than anything." She smiled, melting into his embrace.

Dinosaur prom was even more Brittany than expected. Sam and Charlotte walked in together admiring the decorations and everything as they watched Brittany sing and dance to a very iconic song: Dinosaur.
Dancing along to Brittany's song, Sam spun Charlotte into his arms, forcing her to dance with him. "This is already so fun!"
Charlotte giggled at his excitement of Dinosaur prom and danced along with him, cheering for Britt as she performed. "As much as I miss the others, I'm glad we have this prom together."
"Lucky I'm not still stripping in Kentucky." Sam smiled, starting to show off some signature White Chocolate moves.
Charlotte blushed as she tried to get him to stop when a couple other girls starting looking over and whispering together. "If you keep going all white chocolate in public even more people will be after you."
"It's okay." He chuckled as she laughed before he put on an impression, leaning closer to her, "I only got eyes for you, babe."
"Yeah, but everyone's got their eyes on you." She pouted and Sam laughed at her unnecessary jealousy because even she knew full well that he loved her and no one else.
"I think you'll find they're looking at both of us." He gestured to the fact they were the only couple really dancing to the song. Sam put his hands either side of his girlfriends face and said honestly, "You don't have to worry, just enjoy yourself!"
"Okay." She smiled, all her worries melting away at his reassurance and she went back to crazily dancing for the rest of the song and any other song after that.

After Finn had managed to bring Rachel, Kurt and Blaine into prom, a couple of the Glee boys were ready to woo the girls with One Direction. Charlotte was extremely excited about it and Sam had given her a quick kiss on the cheek before he rushed off to the guys, ready to perform.
As Charlotte spent the whole performance dancing with Tina, the two girls gushed over their boyfriends, enjoying the whole thing as they screamed the words to What Makes You Beautiful. They had to admit, their boyfriends were really wooing them.
Every girl in the hall squealed when Sam sang his solo, and Charlotte couldn't help but giggle at how much he really loved the attention. She made sure to cheer extra loudly so he knew she was his number one fan and that only made Tina laugh hysterically.
"That's my man! He's awesome!" Charlotte cheered with a giggle as Tina nudged her playfully.
"I get it, Lottie. You're extremely in love with Sam. Can you stop bursting my eardrums?" Tina teased but Charlotte didn't care. She just made sure Sam and the boys got loads of love for their performance.
Once the song was over, the boys jumped off of stage and over to their girls. Sam and Mike found Charlotte and Tina giggling together, still very giddy from the whole One Direction performance.
With a massive grin on her face, Charlotte jumped into Sam's arms, telling him how good he was. "Just when I thought you couldn't get anymore perfect."
"You liked it?" Sam chuckled, sensing from her excitement she really did.
"A lot." She nodded, her arms draped around his neck as she stood on her tiptoes to be eye level with him. "It was very very hot."
Sam smirked, pulling her into a kiss which they both smiled into before Mike and Tina came up beside the couple. Mike had to whack both of their heads to get them to notice them waiting, only growing amused at how Charlotte blushed and Sam just smiled.
"Sam. Tina and I need to talk to you!" Mike yelled over the music as Sam kept his arms firmly around Charlotte.
"Yeah, we think it's about time we give you the talk." Tina added, crossing her arms sternly as Sam tilted his head in confusion and Charlotte looked at the couple, wondering what they possibly wanted to talk about.
Mike was the one to give the talk, trying to act as tough as he could. "Sam Evans. Here's the thing... Tina and I loved Lottie way before you did and we need you to know that if you break her heart, we will literally break your face."
"No!" Charlotte immediately said. "I like his face!"
Tina just laughed at her best friend with a hint of seriousness in her playful next words, "I know you do, Lottie. But things must be put in place."
"I got it." Sam chuckled, knowing he would never hurt the girl he loved so much.
"Now that's settled..." Mike clapped his hands together once. "Let's dance."
The four teens spent most of the night dancing crazily with each other, having as much fun as they could. Charlotte was sure she had danced even more than she did at any show choir competition put together and it was the most she'd laughed in a long time.

At the end of the night, Charlotte was spending the last few dances swaying to the music with Sam. With his arms placed on her waist and her arms loosely on his shoulders, she smiled, more than happy with how this prom had gone.
Sighing contently, Sam admired everything about the girl in front of him. "You're beautiful."
Charlotte was wearing a
Charlotte blushed and looked down in an attempt to hide it. She giggled, suddenly finding it quite difficult to take the compliment. "Really?"
"Really." Sam smiled.
"You look very handsome." She then looked back up to him, pressing her forehead against his.
Pulling her closer to him, Sam couldn't wipe the happy look off of his face as he enjoyed spending time with her. "I love you."
With a wide smile on her face as she leaned closer to him, she placed a gently kiss on his lips. "And I love you!"
For the rest of the evening, Sam let Charlotte lay her head against his chest, planting kisses to her head every few minutes as they danced. Everything was just perfect.
