Chapter Seven

"You have two questions left," I said.

"That I do," Liam said, plucking a rose from the flower garland. "Hal's or a gourmet restaurant? "

"Hal's, of course," I said.

"Do you,YaleGirl2, think you made the right choice by meeting me here tonight?" Liam asked.

"Yes," I said. "Do you, Liam Thorne, ever want to see me again after tonight?"

"Yes," he said.

I turned around and took off my mask. I took a deep breath and let it go.

"Promise you won't get mad," I said.

"I promise," Liam said.

I turned around to face Liam again. He smiled.

"Jessica Ames," he said.

"You're not mad?" I asked.

"No," he said. "Why would I be?"

"I'm Diner Girl," I said.

"No, you're not," Liam said. "You're Jessica Ames, my student body vice president, editor in chief of the school newspaper and the girl I'm meant to be with."

"How can you be sure?" I asked.

"Because I'm about to do this,"Liam said.

Liam took my face in his hands and kissed me. It was like fireworks. We broke apart.

"I'm convinced," I said.

Liam smiled. We ran back to the ballroom. Liam kissed me before going back into the ballroom. We walked hand in hand over to my friends.
