Maggie and I stare at the first prom poster for this year.
"This is going to be our last prom." Maggie says still staring at the poster.
"I know." I breath out. It was crazy to think that we were actually going to graduate and maybe even be separated. I loved my friends so much. The prom poster said Prom? and it didn't really have a theme.
"All the girls have to go dress shopping together!" Maggie says excitedly. I agree smiling at her. Once I finally dragged Maggie away from the poster we went to first period. The whole crew had first period together so its always fun.
Once school finally ended. I met up with the girls at Emily's house. As soon as I walked into the front door after Emily yelled come in and they dragged me to her room.
"Ok guys prom is in 3 freaking weeks. We need to plan multiple dress shopping days. We also have to send the guys to get tuxedos and all that." Emily was talking a mile a minute I almost didn't catch the end.
"This has to be our best prom ever." she breathed out.
"And-"
"And you need to breath." Maggie says interrupting her. I laugh and Emily stops talking.
"Ok where and when should we go dress shopping?" Alexa says.
"Before we answer that, I say the boys get tuxedos after we get our dresses so they know what to look for." Maggie adds. Suddenly all of this prom stuff was giving me anxiety. All I heard was dresses, tuxes, make-up, hair...and on and on.
"We can settle on a date tomorrow." I say wanting then to stop talking about it. They all nod and we decide to go to the mall and get some food. While walking to the food court, we walked by a freaking prom dress store. I face palm myself.
"Leanna I really don't wanna die before I graduate so if your gonna like decide to strangle everyone I would like a heads up." Maggie says. I ignore her and continue to walk to the food court desperately needing a coffee from Starbucks. I order a caramel brûlée latte and sit down with the girls.
Next day
"Okay so next week on Tuesday and Thursday we are going to go dress shopping?" Maggie says. We finally agreed to 2 days that were good for our schedules. I hear my phone ring and quickly answer it.
"Leanna?" Emmet speaks into the phone.
"Emmet?" I mock.
"So I know you were wondering who Blake and I were going to prom with-"
"You found someone?" I ask. I needed to know who else to invite to our inner circle dress shopping.
"We're going stag!" I hear Blake yell in the background causing me to laugh.
"You two boys could't find dates? Looks like you both are going to be single forever.." I say in a sing-song voice teasing them.
"I'll text you the tux dates then."
We all decided the boys would go tuxedo shopping on the Tuesday before prom. Prom was on a Friday. I couldn't wait.
"Ok guys I have to go I have a date with Josh." I say before I leave. I drive home quickly and touch up some of my curls with my wand. Since I was going so fast I earned a burn on the side of my hand.
"Damn it!" I yell dropping the wand. The skin on my right hand was bright red and a little bubbly. I sprint down stairs and grab an ice pack sticking it on my hand.
"Holy shit." I hiss when pain shoots up my arm. I look at the time and realize I was going to get picked up by Josh in like 2 minutes. I run back up stairs and unplug my curling iron. Before I leave my room I grab an ace bandage for my hand. The door bell of my house rings and I dash downstairs, again wrapping my hand on the way. When I open the door I see Josh standing there with roses in his hand.
"Hey-What happened to your hand?" He asked worriedly.
"Nothing." I say shrugging. He lifts his eyebrow but then drops the subject.
"Well these are for you." he says handing me the roses. I smile kissing his cheek before going to the kitchen and putting the roses in a vase.
"From Josh?" My mom asks. I nod.
"I'll be home later Josh and I are going out." I say walking out the door with Josh.
"Be careful." I hear my mom say. Before I could open the door to Josh's car, he opens it for me.
"What a gentlemen." I tease wiggling my eyebrows at him. He laughs before getting into the passenger seat.
"So where are we going to eat?" I ask.
"Just TGI Fridays. Is that okay?"
"Ya it's fine." I say smiling at him. He looked so cute all the time.
"Oh so I look cute all the time?" Josh says. My face turns bright red and I cover my cheeks with my hands embarrassed.
"I did not just say that out loud." I mutter and Josh chuckles prying my hands away from my cheeks.
"You look cute when your embarrassed." he says with a crooked smile. A blush slowly made its way to my cheeks as he said that. Before I knew it we were at the restaurant ordering our food. Josh grabbed my hand, (the burnt one) and I cringed. Josh noticed immediately and ripped off the bandage revealing the huge burn.
"Holy shit Leanna!" Josh whispers.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Because you would have gotten all worried like you are now. Its not that bad." I say offering my best not-in-pain smile.
"You should get that checked out." he says. This is what I didn't want him to do. I know he just does it because he loves me but come on, its just a little burn.
"No it's fine." I say.
"Leanna its not fine stop being stubborn." he says glaring at me.
"I'm not being stubborn your just being over dramatic." I snap leaving the table and walking out the door. Josh was following behind and he must have got the memo as he unlocked it. I was so mad that when I slammed the door shut I didn't realize my hand was still in it. I scream to the top of my lungs as the pain in my burned and now bruised hand is. Josh immediately comes to my door kneeling down beside me.
"I'm gonna wrap it in your ace bandage gently okay? Just until we get to the hospital." I could tell he was trying not to panic or start to cry with me. When he started to wrap it around, I winced at the pain.
"Josh." He looks up.
"It really hurts." I say laughing while crying.
"Come on. I'll take you home." He says smiling.
"Sorry for worrying about you so much earlier." Josh mutters. We were currently laying on my bed as Josh's arms were wrapped around my waste. I turn to him.
"Don't be sorry. I should have realized you were just worried about me." I say. I look at his lips and all I wanted to do was kiss them. They formed into a smirk and before he could say some smart-ass comment I slammed my lips into his.
When I woke up this morning Josh was no where to be seen. I jump out of the bed and walk out of my room tripping on a plant pot in the process.
"Damn plant." I mutter as I am laying on the floor. I get up brushing off my pants with my hands. I go down stairs and smell pancakes immediately.
"Mom I love you forever." I say licking my lips. I hear her laugh and I sit at the table next to Josh who was currently stuffing his face.
"Your mrom riz amrazing." Josh managed to say while eating a pancake. I giggle while wiping a chocolate chip off the corner of his lips. A plate is set in front of me and I dig in.
"Holy shit." I say not realizing that Sophie was at the table.
"Leanna." my mom scolds.
"I said ship." I say looking at Sophie who was more interested in her cereal than me.
"Sophie wanna come to our game today?" I ask. She looks up and nods her head frantically with a big smile on her face.
"Ok come on let's get you changed." I say taking her hand. Josh left saying he would pick us up after he got changed.
"Do you wana where Josh's or one of my jerseys?" I ask her rummaging through my old soccer jersey drawer.
"I wanna where.....yours." she's says. Usually she picked Josh's so I was happy she finally wanted to where mine. I put the jersey on her and it was huge. We both laughed and I tucked the front part in the front of her pants.
"There." I say smiling at her. While I change into my uniform she stares at herself in the mirror. When I hear a car honk outside, Sophie and I run out the door.
