CHAPTER 10: Romantic Dance
When Tommy and Carrie first walked into the gymnasium a couple of people started staring at them because they all know that Tommy Ross was going to the prom with Carrie White instead of Sue Snell. Some of Chris's friend even noticed them coming in together, Nikki and Lizzi were sitting at another table with Norma and Tina was playing the music on her laptop with her date Jackie Tablot. Once the couple settled in George Dawson and his date Erika Gogan introduced themselves to Carrie since they're both friends with Tommy. During the first half hour Carrie and Tommy were just sitting at their table talking and watching as the other students and some teachers dance to some pop music, Tommy offered Carrie to dance with him but she didn't really know how to dance, so they both decided to wait until a slow song came on. During that time Miss Desjardin was also at the prom because she was a chaperone for the prom. Like everyone else she got dressed up as well she wore a sparkly dark green dress with some nice heels. She also had her hair down instead of a ponytail when she wasn't teaching and she wore some makeup just to look nice for the prom. While she was talking to the other chaperones she noticed Carrie and Tommy together and couldn't help but smile because she thought they look like a cute couple. What really surprised Miss Desjardin the most was how beautiful Carrie looked, she didn't look shy for once and also looked amazing with the dress she had on. Miss Desjardin walked over to where Carrie and Tommy were sitting because she was aware of Sue's plan to help Carrie and just wanted to make sure that Carries okay with being at the prom tonight.
"Hi Carrie" Miss Desjardin said
"Hi Miss Desjardin, you look beautiful" Carrie said
"Thank you sweetie, and so do you" Miss Desjardin said whiling smiling
"Thank you Miss Desjardin" Carrie said as she blushed and smiled, Tommy left to go grab the ladies some punch from the snack table. Miss Desjardin sat down next to Carrie and they both started to chat a little.
"So are you doing ok" Miss Desjardin asked
"Yeah I'm doing ok" Carrie said
"That's great honey, I'm so proud that you came to the prom" Miss Desjardin said as she held Carries hand
"I'm really excited to be here, I feel like my whole life has led up to this moment" Carrie said
"I'm really glad you're happy Carrie, I know it's scary sometimes to go out into the real world like this, but in the end it's really fun. I remember my first prom, I was a few inches taller than my date because I wore high heels and as he drove me to the prom the engine in his car stop so we had to walk the next half hour. After we got to the prom I was too tired to dance so we both just sat and talk but in the end it was still a wonderful night" Miss Desjardin said
"That's a really funny story Miss Desjardin" Carrie said as she giggled a little
"It sure is Carrie, so how is everything so far with Tommy tonight" Miss Desjardin asked
"He's the perfect gentlemen" Carrie said as she smiled
"That's great sweetie, have a wonderful time tonight Carrie" Miss Desjardin said while smiling
"Thanks Miss Desjardin, you to" Carrie said as both women shared a hug and then Tommy returns giving Miss Desjardin her punch as he promised. As the gym teacher walks away from the table Tommy and Carrie start talking.
"So um, do you really have to be home so early" Tommy asked
"I promised my mother that I would be home early, I'm sorry" Carrie said
"No no I understand, it's just that a lot of people were going to the caviler afterwards for the after party and I was wondering if…." Tommy was about to say when Carrie intervened what he was about to say.
"No it's okay, I don't mind you hanging out with your friends" Carrie said
"Actually I was wondering if you wanted to go with me" Tommy said
"Really, I would love to, thank you" Carrie said, after they finished talking a slow song came on and Tommy decided to asked Carrie to dance with him.
"It's a slow song now, do you want to dance" Tommy asked
"No, Tommy I can't dance" Carrie said nervously
"It's okay, I'll show you how, besides you can't go to the prom unless you have at least one dance" Tommy said as he offered his hand to lead Carrie to the dance floor.
"Okay" Carrie said, as the couple walked to the dance floor Tommy made sure that Carrie danced right and he was being the perfect gentlemen to her. During the time they were dancing Tommy started enjoy the time he spent with Carrie, he didn't see her as the awkward teenager anymore, he saw a beautiful young woman having a wonderful time with her date. Tommy knew that he was still with Sue Snell so he reminded himself that he must always stay true the one you love, but he also wanted make sure that Carrie had a wonderful time at the prom tonight. As the rest of the students and teachers dance at the prom, Tina sneaks Chris and Billy through the back door of the gymnasium behind the stage where nobody can see them.
"Is everything set up" Chris asked
"Yep I got the fake ballots with Carrie and Tommy's name on it ready for the prank" Tina said
"Alright now remember, as soon as Carrie and Tommy are elected king and queen and are up on stage you pull the rope and once she's drenched in pigs blood we leave, do you understand" Billy asked
"I got it" Chris said
"Good, this'll be the best prank ever" Billy said as he and Chris went up to the balcony of the stage where the bucket is being held in place where no one can see when the prank is pulled on Carrie. Tina went back to go hand out the fake ballots so that way Carrie and Tommy win the election for prom king and queen.
