"... Why did you decide to wear your dress before getting to Jen's house?" Kaylie avoided my eyes as she responded "Well, it's just so beautiful and I love wearing it." I cross my arms "You couldn't wait the 10 minutes it would take to drive there?" "Well... Tess ..." "Kaylie, we made plans that I would pick you up, go to Jen's, and we would all get ready for prom there. That's were we set up for the limo to pick us up." She stared at the bottom of her dress "Whatever, just get in the car I still need to get ready."
It was relatively quiet in the car, I didn't want her to think I was angry at her "Hey, Kaylie, you do look beautiful." She smiled at me "Thanks, my hair took forever to curl, I swear I have the straightest hair ever." Kaylie did have extremely straight hair, she had it up with curls hanging down framing her face, I hope they stay in the whole night.
She has dirty blond hair that go just past her shoulders, with her yellow dress it looked really nice. I helped her pick out the dress, it has a corseted top with lacing in the back and beadwork around the randmon parts of the bottom. I loved how the random green bead designs on it brought out her eyes.
"I like what you did with your hair too Tess." Unlike her, I had naturally curly brown hair, but mine was shorter, about an inch above my shoulders. "Tess I am so excited for tonight! I can't wait till after the dance when we get to the beach" I smiled, getting excited too "I know, and I heard that there's going to be a meteor shower tonight" I swear her eyes just grew as I said that, she gets so ecstatic over everything. "Really! thats awesome, I've never seen a meteor shower before; YaY!"
We finally got to Jen's, "Hey guys" Jen ran up and gave both of us a huge hug. She lingered on Kaylie then looked at me "Why is Kaylie dressed already?" after seeing the face Kaylie made I burst out laughing, she looked so put out. "She couldn't wait to wear it" I said. Jen frowned "We still have another hour before the guys get here though" "I know but, you know how she is. Well lets just go in and get ready, Kaylie can watch T.V or something."
I take a look in the mirror, making some last adjustments here and there. I don't really like wearing dresses, but I absolutely love this one. It's a baby blue with fading of purple at the waist, it was slightly puffy, not like Cinderella but I felt like a princess.
Jen was still finishing up so I decided to join Kaylie...who was not watching TV; Even though it was on. "Where in the world did she go..." Kitchen? Nope. … Bathroom? Negative. … music?
Mijika ni arumono, Tsune ni ki wo tsuketeinai to,
Amari ni Chikasugite, Miushinatteshimaisou
"That sounds like Naruto Shippuden, where is it coming from?" I slowly walk down the hallway listening before coming to Jens bedroom and looking inside, and sure enough there is Kaylie sitting on the bed with a laptop. "What are you doing? I thought you were watching T.V." She looks up and smiles "oh, well Naruto wasn't on so I thought to just watch some episodes online."
"Oh, well are you all ready, the guys should be coming in just a few minutes for pictures." she looks down at the screen and sighs "Prom would be so much better if I had a boyfriend." I take a seat beside her "Tom's going with you Kaylie" "I know but we're just friends, I want someone to want me, hold me, kiss and love me. Tess, you and Danny are so happy together." "It was true Danny and I are happy together, I'm absolutely in love with him, even though he's not perfect, but who is in this world?"
I put my arm around her shoulders "Hey now, don't be getting all sad, this is prom night! You look gorgeous and your going to have an amazing time and then we're going to my uncles Beach house with everyone, and we'll watch all the meteors in the sky." she lets out a heavy sigh "yeah... I guess it won't be so bad. Though imagine if someone from naruto was my boyfriend... like Sasuke"
I just about gagged as I heard her say that "Are you serious, why in the world do you like him, he would be a terrible boyfriend. He doesn't even look that good...GAH!!! Why'd You Throw A Pillow AT ME! Your going to mess up my hair and make up!" "Take it back! Sasuke's hot!" "No way, even if you MUST choose a fictional boyfriend there are so many better takes out there."
"What about Itachi?" I roll my eyes "Better than Sasuke, but not by much."Kaylie crosses her arms "Fine, how about Kakashi?" "Now he's hot, and would probable make a decent boyfriend... but he's too old for you." all she does is roll her eyes "Your just like a mother Tess." Then I see a devilish grin go across her lips "what if I got with Orochimaru?" she giggles "Oh my god, are you serious. He looks like Michael Jackson!" "He does Not!" "You can't deny he loves little boys!" we both burst out laughing.
"um... Tess? Kaylie? Are you guys okay... I heard someone yell something about little boys." Kaylie looks up at Jen catching her breath "Never mind, I don't want to know, anyways you two need to come down, the guys are here, and we have about 15 minutes before the limo arrives.
The dance was amazing, the music and food was actually good, and surprisingly Kaylie still had curls. We just pulled up to my uncles Beach house, he is so cool, he agreed to let my friends and I use it, even though he knew there would be about 30 high school teens. As we got out of the limo I gasped, he really outdid himself, he set up lights, balloons, a huge karaoke system on the deck, and there was already a bonfire going on the Beach.
Kaylie squeals as she struggles out of the limo and runs down to the beach. I decide to chase after her, she is so impulsive she would probable jump right in the water if she felt like it, dress and all. "Hey Tess! Where are you going?" Danny had grabbed my hand. I could see him debating if he should run after also.
"I'm just going to get Kaylie. You go ahead inside and change, I'll be right back" I lean in and give him a tight hug, I can feel him give me a kiss on the top of my head. I'm just about 5 inches shorter than him, he being 6 foot 2. As I go to run off he catches me again, I turn around and his lips meet mine, I smile and kiss back.
"I have to go get Kaylie now" He stares into my eyes for a while before letting go. "Don't be too long, I want to do a karaoke duet with you." I give him a kiss on the cheek "I don't think so" as I run off I hear him yell back "oh come on, your not that bad." but I am, I'm not great at singing and I swear I have the weakest vocal chords ever.
I finally catch up to Kaylie with shoes in hand, I almost died when I hit the sand in heels. She's just standing there with a huge smile on her face, staring up at the sky. "Your right Tess, this night is amazing. Look" she whispers as she points up.
I look up and and lose my breath all over again, theres hundreds of comets shooting across the sky. "wow" I can't help to give a soft giggle "Kaylie, this feels so magical right now." I felt so giddy, this night felt like a fairytale; being on this beach at night with a meteor shower and wearing a prom dress, everything felt so perfect.
"Lets make a wish" she says, I look at her "what?" she glances at me and has a new smile now "you know, make a wish on a shooting star... there's so many Tess, and you even said it felt magical. Lets give it a shot." I let out a laugh "we're not little kids anymore" "but we're still kids, come on Tess, just make a wish." I sigh and look up again.
It's so beautiful "I can't think of anything to wish for, I'm pretty happy with my life right now. I'm all ready set for college, I have someone I love who loves me, and I'm sharing this moment with my best friend right now. I'm good, though if you want I'll give my wish, all my unused wishes to you."
She smiles at me "okay miss perfect give me your hands." I look at her slightly confused "...okay, but why" "you said you give me your wishes so let me just hold your hands as I make my wish." Seeing my still confused look she adds "oh, come on they do it in movies and shows like Charmed, wishes and magic are stronger when theres a physical connection and stuff. Just close your eyes and concentrate."
I give a soft laugh, she believes anything she sees on TV even when she knows it's fiction. I hold her hands and she already has her eyes closed. I look one last time up at the stars before I close my eyes. "Okay, make your wish"
