We reached school in no time. I opened the passenger seat for her and walked hand in hand towards the back of the school. The time of the school is perfect for it's the same time for twilight.
"Twilight!" she sighed
I saw her looking up the sky
"You're addicted to it"
"Super" she mumbled and we continued walking
"Your nice today" I observed
"Am I? I'm always nice"
We continued walking until we saw Mr. Smith.
He smiled at us, "Such a lovely couple"
"Thanks" I said
"You're very compatible with each other..."
Bella rested her head on my shoulder—still small even in hills.
He sighed dreamily, "Okay, I leave you two now, the assembly for cotillion dancers is there" he pointed at the other end of the circle.
"Let's go"
The prom is held at the back of the school. The dance floor is at the center and around it were tables, which are elegantly prepared. I can't believe I'll attend this event.
"This is nice" she muttered
I laughed and I felt that she shivered
"You ok?"
"I'm fine" She shivered
I sighed, so stubborn and a liar
I grabbed her hands and rubbed it together with my hands
"What are you doing?" she asked in alarmed
"Keeping you warm?"
She smiled then slightly shook her head. It made me smile too
"—Okay, Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our juniors prom! We're gonna start this special occasion with a romantic dance with our real life couples!" said Eric—the emcee
"Okay, first of all, the latest couple and the most talked about lover, let's welcome: Edward and Bella"
We walked inside, she smiled awkwardly, not used of the attention everybody gives her now—they're all 'wooing' us. Eric started calling the others as well.
I kneeled and took off Bella's shoes. Good thing her gown was long enough
"—Let our dance begin!"
"You can do it" I whispered at her
"Hope so" she inhaled nervously then walked to the center
The song began; we danced all through out the song while staring at each other. I filled every twirl, every hugs, with hungry stares. Hope she saw the meaning and the look in my eyes. I stared down at those brown pool-like eyes of hers. They're melting me. They're like chocolate, waiting to be eaten. And I'm falling for those eyes now. Just like me they long to be close to you... this line in which us guys, hug they're partners from the back and sway, slowly. I closed my eyes and hugged her a bit tight. The dance ended with our forehead close to each other. Her arms encircled around my neck and mine snaked around her waist. Her lips parted and she started to gasp for air. I wanted to press mine down hers, but I shouldn't. Even if it would make mike jealous very much—I couldn't. She's not mine, and never be. She stepped out of my foot and smiled at me.
"You've been great!" I said
"Thanks!" she hugged me, my eyes widened in surprise
Everybody stares and giggled at us.
I pulled off, "Stay here, I'll get your shoes"
"Sure"
Before I go to where I left her shoes—I thought of a brilliant thing to do.
I carried her towards a near table—everybody screamed again do we have to be the center of attention?! I half-run towards to where I placed it and brought it to her. Everything goes according to what I wanted. Mike and Jess seated at where Bella was. A wicked smile formed on my lips while running.
"Hey, Edward" Jessica greeted
"Hello"
"Great Dance" she commented while embracing Mike's arm.
"So are you"
"You two have a great and powerful chemistry together"
I laughed then kneeled in front of Bella, the do what I did back at their house.
She smiled down at me.
"Happy Birthday" I said
She looked a bit surprise, "Thank you"
"I have a gift for you" In the corner of my eye, I saw Mike's jealous face
"No—"she started to say but I only raised my brow at her. I bring out the box with two rings and opened it in front of her.
She gasped, "Thank you!"
"Let's put these on" I bit my lip to stop myself from smiling
I sat beside her and took her left hand, and slid the ring on her ring finger—and it fits perfectly
"Never take this off" I said
"Never" she said, "I'll put on yours" she took my right hand and slid the ring on my ring finger as well.
"Thank you" she hugged me tightly
"You're welcome as always" I said while touching her hair, "I love you" shoot, there I said it.
"What?!" she whispered with a hint of panic in her voice
"Just go with the flow..."
She chuckled, "I love you too"
Before I pulled completely, I kissed her cheek, and then smiled at her. She looked down blushing
"So sweet!" Jessica squealed
"Oh, take it off" I said, remembering the engraved part
"Why?"
"I have something to show you"
We took it off then I showed her, "Look"
She looked at it very well and grinned, "The ring with Bella is yours?"
I put my arm around her shoulder, "Of course. Bella's mine and Edward's yours" hopefully
She laughed and pressed my nose, "Ha-Ha"
She took the ring again and slid it on hers. And I slid mine.
I can see Mike's face looking away stopping his face from screaming.
Bella looked something in her pouch
"What is it?"
She showed up her camera, "Let's take a picture"
I took it, "Mike, would you mind?" I asked
He glared at me, "Of course" he said dryly, "Smile"
Bella snuggled closer to me and smiled.
"Here you go"
"Once more" I suggested, "This time showing our rings"
He sighed, "Smile" we showed the back of our hands with smiles. I noticed that he looked at Bella after he clicked the button
"Thanks a lot" I said and looked at the shots he took.
I think Bella's smiles were genuine happiness... like she's happy that this is happening...that we're a couple...that we exchanged 'I love yous'... But I know it's just an act—or maybe because Mike's here
A cellphone rang. She immediately looked for her cellphone and answered it.
"Hello?" a pause, "Alice" she said
"Shut up" she muttered and laughed.
She closed her clamshell phone, "its Alice"
"Oh"
She opened her phone again and focused it to me, "Hey! Smile!"
I smiled, the atmosphere were completed with different love songs
She chuckled and closed it again. She thought for a while then opened it again and moved closer to me she laughed, "Smile!" she pressed it
I looked at it, "You have short arms" I demanded, I grabbed the camera from hers then focused it upwards, I pouted my lips to her cheeks
She blushed when she saw our picture. She glared at me and nudged my ribs
I stuck out my tongue at her she laughed and looked at the dance floor
"—Okay, disco time! Grab your partners and go to our wide dance floor, come on!" Eric said
The dance floor suddenly became crowded. I grabbed her hand.
She stared at me, "No"
"Please?"
"No!" she groaned
I pulled her—I'm stronger than her so... I pulled her until we reached the dance floor. The songs are different party songs.
"C'mon, Bella!" I shouted for her to hear me. I swayed side by side with arms also swaying
"I don't like!" she shouted back
"Please!" I danced more
She slapped her forehead with her palm while laughing at me. She covered her face but immediately removed, with a grin.
She started to move her body and laughed, "I can't!"
"Don't be such a kill joy!"
She glared at me while laughing then grooved her body. We started a goofy dance while laughing on what we're doing. Then the song faded to a love song/ rock song.
I let out my hand, "May I?"
She thought for a while, "Of course" she placed her hand in mine
I placed her hand around my shoulders (she's not stepping on my feet), and my hands around her waist then we started swaying side to side.
"What's with the bangs?"
She laughed, "Its Rosalie's work"
"It's nice"
She snorted, "What's with the ring and the Edward, Bella thing?"
"It's free when I bought something"
She looked up to me with curious eyes
"Swear"
She looked down again, "What did you buy?"
Shoot, "Uhmmm... bracelet for—my—mom"
"Huh? For what?"
"None of your business"
She scoffed, "Thank you"
"For what?" I asked
"For taking care of me"
I smiled, "It's nothing"
"You're asking me why I'm nice, right." I nodded, "Because you took care of me that will be my thank you gift"
I chuckled, "But I bet it's just for today"
"No it's not"
I looked down, "What?"
"I'll be nice to you... Because we're now friends"
"Just now?"
"Yeah" she laughed
"Do you still hate dancing?"
I heard her hum, "I actually enjoy dancing with you"
My heart skipped a beat, "Why's that?"
She shrugged, "Don't know"
BPOV
"My feet, hurts" I complained taking off those killer shoes
"It hurts?!" asked Edward anxiously
"Yeah, it does"
"Wait here" he said and left
Good thing we're alone in—I'm alone in the table. I looked for my phone; I opened it and looked at the pictures taken. I smiled on the shot where he pouted his lips, I thought he wants to save his first kiss? Then I remembered when he kissed my cheek and said 'I love you'... Is that for real? No it's not! Just part of pretending... I felt relieved. He doesn't love me and he couldn't love me and he's not in love with me! I pushed those words in my head
"Wear this" he said that made me gasped, "What?" he asked
"You're like a ghost"
He chuckled and gave me a pair of sleepers, "Its Alice's. I know what kind of shoes she'll buy you so I borrowed her sleepers" he placed the sleepers under my feet. I quickly wear it.
He sat by my side, "You cold?"
"A bit"
He made a drum like sound, "A coat for you"
I laughed, "Thanks"
"Let me help you" he placed the coat above my shoulders, "I'll just get you food"
"Thanks"
After a while, Jessica and Mike sat on our table—laughing
"Hey, Bells" I nodded with a smile, "Where's Edward?"
"Getting food"
"Happy Birthday" Mike greeted
"Thanks"
"Sorry Bells, if we don't have a gift... We forgot" Jessica said
"No, it's fine, I hate presents"
She chuckled while Mike stared at me. I looked at where my brothers are seated. They're so sweet, hugging and placing food on each other. I laughed then took them pictures. This time Emmett looked presentable.
"I'm back" I heard Edward said
Salad?! But I'm hungry!, "Thanks, you're not going to eat?"
He shook his head, "Not hungry"
"Okay" I muttered then munched in my salad. I finished the whole thing but still, I'm hungry!
The emcee appeared on stage, "Ok, this evening would not be completed if, we all didn't know who is the Prom King and Prom Queen of the night!"
Everyone became exited and gathered in front of the stage. Edward wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me too.
"—So, let's call on first the finalists... For the King, may I call on, Mr. Cullen"
I looked at him, he looked like he don't want to be in that stage. I pushed him. He sighed and went up all girls, screamed. All girls really do want him...
"—next, Mr. Jasper Swan!"
"—Followed by , Mr. Emmett Swan"
When my two brothers are called, I screamed too, and they both glared at me.
"Our finalists for the Prom king are here, moving on to Prom Queen"
"First...Isabella Swan"
Damn it! Alice and Rosalie, pushed me up the stage. I met Edward's gaze and he let out his tongue at me and I grimaced.
The other finalists are Emmett and Jasper's partners.
"—In order to find out who will be the winner, all of you should clap for who's your bet"
After Alice and Rosalie, it's mine's turn now... In my surprise, almost all of them clapped and screamed my name to win. In the end I won. Angela, gave me the stash and a small crown on my head.
And now the king of prom... Hope it's not Edward! Because in tradition, the king and queen of prom will kiss, that's why they chose couples!!!!!!! Agghh!!!!!!!!!
Emmet first quite loud, Then Jasper Em's clap louder... Edward.... so loud!
I covered my face with my hands. I peeked at Edward—he's smiling! What the—!
"—Okay, as a tradition, what do you all want?!"
Everybody shouted kiss!! Even my brothers at the back!
"C'mon" the emcee said
I looked up to Edward, who looked so much like a prince, wearing a crown and a red cape. He's smiling down at me. He started to lean forward
"No!" I protested
He continue leaning while me backing out. He wrapped his arms around my waist. No!!! He pressed his lips down on mine, while my eyes wide open. It took five seconds before he pulled back with a smile. I blushed deeply in red.
How was it ... ?
Review ! haha
