"I know you aren't that shy...okay, maybe you are." A boy with raven hair was saying to a pair of shoes under a bathroom stall.
"You don't understand Deryk, this is my eight grade graduation! And I have to make a speech! Do you really think I'll be able to do that?" The pair of white heels responded.
Deryk ran a hand through his unruly hair while contemplating what she just said. "Of course I think you'll be able to do it, Sybl. You're great with public speaking...or was that Lizzie?" He scratched his chin.
"That's Lizzie. I'm the one who gets nauseous anytime I have to do anything in public. Do you even remember what happened at my ballet recital?" Sibyl asked inquisitively. Deryk laughed as he reminisced on the night she almost threw up while she was on stage about 4 years ago. "And do you even remember who convinced me to actually go to that recital?" She asked as she finally stepped out of one of the stalls in the girls' bathroom.
"Uh...me?" Deryk gave her an innocent smile. He admired her beauty while she went over to the sink. She was wearing a long white flowing dress that was spaghetti strapped, and had embroidered vines coming up the sides. Her hair was in a bun on top of her hair with a few placed stray-aways and a few strands coming down in front of her face.
"Why am I even here?" She looked at her reflection in the mirror and glanced at him while he was leaning against one of the stall doors. He was handsome, to say the least. He was dressed up in tux, which she had to force him to wear by the way, and looked as adorable as ever.
"Because you said that if you went to graduation, I had to go to Junior Prom. And don't forget, you better be ready for that in a few days." He raised his eyebrows to her. She turned around to face her best friend and walked towards him.
"I still can't believe you were going to skip out on Junior Prom. How thick can you get?" Deryk shrugged his shoulders while tilting his head.
"Well, it doesn't matter now. You came to graduation, I'm going to prom...with you." She sighed while checking over her appearance one last time.
"Don't remind me. Just another opportunity to dress up and look all pretty." She checked her make up. "By the way, thank Lizzie for doing my make up. It looks great!"
"Tell me about it." He muttered under his breath. "No problem." She looked at him with weird look.
"Are you sure I can do this." She asked, becoming worried again. "What if I mess up?" Deryk walked over to her and pulled her into a comforting hug.
"I'm positive. You'll be great, just breathe and know that I'm out there rootin you on." He inhaled the scent of her hair. She sighed again, but this time in happiness.
"Thanks Deryk. You know just what to say to someone who's about to have an emotional break down." She felt his chest vibrate with his deep chuckle.
"I know. Now, it's time to go out there and make your speech. Miss President." She slapped his arm but didn't move from his hold.
"Why did I have to become class president?" She moaned. Finally, she pulled away from him and began walking out of the bathroom. She got to the double doors that led to the auditorium. "Well, this is it." He gave her a reassuring smile and walked ahead of her to go find his sisters and his parents.
"Good luck. And remember, I'll be in front row. Just breathe, relax, and know I'm out there for you." He called over his shoulder. She smiled at his back, finally knowing the reason they were brought together 5 years ago. Sibyl took a deep breath and went through the door that led to the backstage and finally she was on stage....
