I was, once again. Sat in music class waiting for the announcement to be made. Tara's plan was absolutely brilliant, but I still wondered how they were going to get it through the school speakers.
"Good morning Lincoln Bay High School, this is Cammi Q from Slam FM bringing you a special message from..." Cammi's voice said through the speaker.
"Radio Rebel here, now you guys really unleashed your fury about the prom drama and I want you to know that you've been totally heard. Cancelling prom was monumentally unfair but blaming Moreno isn't going to solve anything. I wanna do something about it, and so does Slam. Which is why we're giving you what you want...your prom back" Tara's voice said...well, Radio Rebel's. The whole music class cheered and I smiled.
"This is amazing!" Lisa exclaimed excitedly. I nodded in agreement.
"Slam FM is throwing it's first ever Morp. That's prom spelled backwards because we're turning prom upside down. Tickets are free and everyone is invited so don't worry about finding a date or spending your college savings on a dress, tux or a limo. Just come as you are, because that's the way we like you" Radio Rebel said. Lisa smiled and pulled herself up onto our desk, facing me.
"This is...unbelievable! I was so upset about prom being cancelled, I guess now everything's cool again" she shrugged. I nodded.
"Yeah. Just out of curiosity, were you going with anyone?" I asked resting my folded arms on the desk. She nodded her cheeks turning pink.
"Yeah, his names Tommy" she replied shyly. She was never shy, so this was quite amusing for me.
"Do I know him?" I asked. I'd ran the name through my brain but couldn't think of anyone I knew with the name 'Tommy'.
"Yeah. He's the kid who..." she paused and toyed with the sleeves of her shirt nervously. I tilted my head.
"C'mon tell be" I begged. She sighed and leaned forward as though getting ready to tell a huge secret.
"He's the guy who drives the remote control car around school" she admitted shrugging. Now him I knew.
"Wow! Really? That's great" I reassured. She smiled with a surprised expression.
"You mean you're not gonna tease me because I'm going with him?" she asked with raised eyebrows. I shook my head and shrugged.
"No, if you said yes then he must be a nice guy" I replied. She sighed in relief.
"Thanks. Speaking of Morp who are you going with?" she asked smirking and leaning back on her palms. I sighed and fiddled with my G necklace.
"No one" I replied shrugging. Her jaw dropped and eyebrows shot up.
"You're serious? I thought you and Gabe were back on" she said her tone full of confusion. I nodded.
"We are, he just hasn't asked me. I'm not that bothered though, I'm sure I won't be the only one going solo" I shrugged resting my hands on the desk.
"I know but..." she sighed and shook her head "He's your boyfriend! He should ask you" she exclaimed. My eyes widened and I did a quick scan of the class, sighing in relief once I found that no one had heard her...Gabe included.
"Look it's not big deal Lis'. I'm fine with it, really" I reassured. She nodded but still kept that disappointed expression.
I put my books into my locker before pulling out my English book. What I talked to Lisa about in English class did worry me a little, but who could blame me? The last time we went out he'd spent half our time flirting and hanging out with other girls. So for all I knew he'd asked some other girl to Prom instead of me, but on the other hand I could just be getting paranoid over nothing...I hoped it was the last one.
A pair of arms wrapped around my waist and a body pressed against my back, I smiled knowing exactly who it was "Hey beautiful" He greeted resting his head on my shoulder. I giggled and closed my locker.
"Hey rockstar. How's famous life?" I asked closing my locker and turning in his arms. He shrugged as I placed my hands on his shoulders.
"It's pretty good. I wish you knew how good it was" he said looking down at me. Even when I was in heels...which was all the time, he was a few inches taller than me. But tallness ran in his family.
"Yeah, well" I shrugged and sighed in thought while staring at his chest. Whenever I was feeling upset about something I wasn't able to look people in the eyes, it was a nervous habit I guess.
"You alright?" he asked. I nodded reassuringly and managed to look up at him.
"Yeah, sure I'm fine. So you heading to English?" I asked desperately trying to change the subject. He nodded.
"Yup, but I wanted to ask you something first" he said smirking slightly. I narrowed my eyes in confusion.
"What?" I asked hesitatingly. He shrugged innocently.
"Well, since prom has been cancelled I guess going to Morp wouldn't be so bad. But what I'm saying is, will you go to Morp with me?" he asked hopefully. I smiled and bit my bottom lip trying to hide my excitement...I guess this meant I was just paranoid before.
"I'd love to" I replied. He smiled and leaned down pressing his lips against my own. I smiled into the kiss and moved my mouth with his, his kisses always made me very light headed. And after finding out that fact he loved to use it whenever he could...though I wasn't really complaining.
After a few seconds he slowly pulled away. I re-opened my eyes and found we were both panting slightly "So I'll text you what time I'll be at your house, and we'll go to Morp" he said resting his forehead against mine. I nodded mutely still dazed from the kiss.
"Uh-huh" I whispered. He chuckled and pecked my lips one more time.
"C'mon gorgeous, we got a class to get to" he said placing an arm around my shoulder. I nodded and put my own around his waist before heading to English class.
