Claire's Room

Friday- 6:29 P.M.

Claire's POV

The next night, I excitedly got ready for the prom. I delicately put on my pink strapless Versace dress gown that fit my body perfectly. I found it with the help of Massie. I looked at my reflection in the mirror and smiled. I then slipped on my Jimmy Choo pink high heels. I straightened my hair for about an hour and did my makeup carefully. I sprayed some Vera Wang Princess perfume and dabbed some glitter onto my neck and cheeks. I applied some strawberry lip gloss and smacked my lips, puckering my lips to make sure everything was good. I put on my Tiffany star diamond earrings and my personalized Tiffany "C" necklace. I was just putting on the finishing touches when the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" I yelled, rancing downstairs before my parents could get it. I opened the door and saw Cam, looking even hotter than yesterday, holding a bouquet of flowers and a corsage.

"Hey, these are for you." Cam said, handing me the bouquet of flowers. "Ehmagawd, they're so beautiful!" I gushed, taking the flowers and smelling them. "Thank you so much!"

Cam smiled, "You're welcome, I'm glad you like them." He slipped the corsage onto my wrist.

Just then, my parents appeared with a camera in their hands. "Picture time!" My mom trilled, ushering Cam and I to the living room. I groaned silently. I hated taking pictures, especially if they were for special occasions.

"Wow, you look amazingly beautiful." Cam said.

I blushed, "Thanks, you're not so bad yourself."

"Thanks," he winked at me and that my heart speed up. Geez, that guy sure knew how to make a girl go crazy. About a million pictures later, my parents finally let us go. "Sorry about that," I said, once we get into the car.

He laughed, "It's ok, I actually like taking pictures."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, because that way we can keep and remember the memories we make together."

The memories we make together. I like the sound of that. A few minutes later, we arrived at our destination.

When we got in and up tot eh right floor, the place was already packed. Cam took my hand and led me to the dance floor. We started dancing to Augustana's Boston. After that, we went over to the food and drinks table. Cam gave me a cup of punch and then got one for himself.

"Are you enjoying it so far?" Cam asked, taking a sip of punch.

I nodded, "Yeah, of course."

At that moment, all the lights in the building went off. I gasped, what had just happened? Cam squeezed my hand and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing."

"Don't worry, it is probably just a small blackout." Our principal called out into he crowd of puzzled and worried teenagers.

"Stay here," Cam commanded, "I'm going to go check out what exactly happened."

I nodded, "Ok,"

Cam disappeared into the crowd and I was left standing here alone in the darkness. The people around me started to thin out as they one by one, went off into the separate directions. I fought the urge to walk away too, but I knew I couldn't. Cam specifically told me to say where I was. But I couldn't stand it, I just had to go somewhere else, otherwise, pretty soon, I would be completely alone. I walked away from the refreshments table and started wandering around. I felt my way through the crowd of people, sometimes actually poking them in wrong places. I managed to walk out of the room and found myself in what looked like an empty hallway. The electricity wasn't working so obviously the elevators weren't working either. I cautiously walked to the stairs, trying to find Cam and see where he went. I put my foot down onto the first step, careful not to trip and fall. I felt around and tried to reach a handrail, but couldn't get one. I took another step teetering dangerously on my super high heels.

As I went down the next step, my foot caught on something, and that mysterious object caused me to turn around and fall.

I screamed, my arms flailed around me as I tried to regain my balance. I tried to grab onto something, anything that would stop me from falling. The last thing I saw was something glinting at me at the bottom of the stairs. Then, I blacked out.


Sorry this chapter is kinda short too, I'll try to make the next one longer! REVIEW! Luv ya!
