Chapter 21

"Prom is like our Oscars. Seriously like the most important day in our lives."

"What about getting married?"

"Oh you can get marry as many times as you want you only have one change as junior prom."

"What are you guys talking about?" Mercedes says coming in and sitting next to me.

"Prom dresses."

"That god I don't have to worry about that. I am not going."

"Why not?"

"Because nobody is asking me." Mercedes says like she didn't care but I could see she did care.

"It's ok, I probably won't be going either." I say and everyone turns to me shocked.

"What do you mean you're not going?" Kurt tells me. "I need to see you all dressed up and dancing with your hot boyfriend."

"Kurt I don't think a high school prom is really on Steve's mind right now." At this moment the bell rings and Mr. Shue starts to speak.

"Alright guys prom."

"Please tell me we are not going songs about prom?" Sam says and Quinn hits him.

"No we are the prom." Them Mr. Shue tells us about us performing at prom are revels that Nationals will be in fact in New York.

"Hi." I say to Mercedes while I approached her at her locker.

"Are you were to tell me that you aren't going because you don't have a date? You are dating Capitan freaking America."

"I never went to any school prom before." I say and she looks at me surprised. "I was the strange young girl with the high IQ. Mel and Becca were the only friends I had."

"No never you know dated?"

"I did but I was used, they boy only wanted one thing from me."

"Did he got it?"

"Unfortunately yes he did. Then I had a face that I am not proud off but that is another story. I came to talk to you about what you want for you prom."

"I know I always talk about not needing a man and I don't. I just really wanted to take a date to prom. I want the dress… and the guys… and a damn corsage."

"Somebody still may ask you."

"It's this Saturday." I could see that Mercedes was in the verge of tears as she speaks and I truly felt sorry for her. "I just wanted to be Cinderella. Just for one night. One night were a guy who would look at me and said you look so beautiful. Then he grabbed my hand and asked me to dance. Isn't that what prom must supposed to be?"

"You're not going to prom alone. You'll go with me."

"That is even more depressing."

"I have a plan you just need to trust me. Will you?"

"Yes." She tells me and I hug her. "You are a lot nice you know."

"Thanks." I say still not sure why she said it.

"You never were. We never knew anything about you. It's nice to see who you really are."

"So you're not scared?" I say playfully but a part of me wanted to know the true. Things have been changing. People actually are scared to even look at me. Blaine and Sam too. The bulling stopped completely. It was good but I didn't want people to think I was a bad person who could hit them at any moment.

"You're a good person Rachel I can see it."

"Thank you."

"Are you still in touched with Matt?" I ask Mike at Physics calls and he looks at me confused then I tell him my plan and he smiles.

I look at my room as I try to organize my though and I hear a knock on the door and I turn to see mom.

"Aren't you getting ready? Sam and Blaine already left."

"Mommy I didn't brought a dress." I tell her and she sits next to me on the bed.

"Why not?"

"I don't know. With all going on I don't know."

"You are scared of what people will say about you."

"Back in Los Angeles everyone looked at me like a geek brainy girl now they look at me and are scared of my hitting them. Why can't just they look at me like I am normal?"

"Being normal is boring." She tells me and I smile. "Come with me." I follow her to her bedroom and I am faced with a beautiful gown on her bed.

"Oh my god it's beautiful."

"I wore it to my first NYADA ball."

"Mom. I can't."

"Yes you can. Now we just need to take care of your hair and makeup."

"Well I am here to help." We turn to see Natasha at the door.

The two women took care of me and they didn't even gave me time to speak. While Natasha washed my hair she was talking to my mom about the hair and the nails that mom was polishing. Once Natasha took care of my hair mom was picking the makeup and the accessories by the time I could speak I was already ready and facing a mirror.

"I look …wow." I say looking at the girl in the mirror. I was perfect. From my hair accessories to my feet.

"Let's get you down stairs." Natasha says smiling at Cassandra. What were this two planning?

Was I got downstairs my smile got so big that I think it's going to hurt my face. There is was Steve looking handsome in a black suit handsome.

"Wow. You. Wow." Steve tells me and I blush because of the look he was giving me.

"Steve." I say giving him a short kiss once I see him. "What are you doing here?"

"I can to see if you have me a change to take you to prom Ma'am?" He says bowing a little bit as he opened a box showing me a beautiful light pink corsage and I couldn't help but noticed how went perfectly with the dress and I turn to my mother, Natasha and my father.

"You got this all planned didn't you?" I tell them and them all smile at me conforming and I turned to Steve and I noticed he's still looking at me. Idiot I didn't answer his question.

"Steve it would be my honor." I tell him and I smile as he puts his arms around me and we are about to leave when Mom screams.

"You're not leaving without taking pictures. Come on everyone picture times."

Then I spend minutes taking pictures with Steve, Natasha mom and dad. Once I got to the door I saw a limo waiting for us.

"Stark present." He tells me and I smile even If I look confuse.

The two of us walk into Breadsticks and I found a table with Mercedes, Quinn, Sam and Matt.

"Hey guys." I tell them and I could see all of them looking at me shocked. "Can we join?"

"Of course." Quinn says blinking. "By the way you look beautiful."

"So do both of you." I tell them as we all sit.

"I cannot believe you don't know it. You have to see that movie." Sam tells Steve as we all had a good time, eating, laughing and telling stories. Steve actually blends in pretty well.

"Is that good?"

"It won an Oscar baby." I tell him and he smiles at me.

"Hi guys." Finn appears with a blonde cheerleader wearing a short green glitter dress. She was pretty but nothing compared to Quinn. I say him looking at both of us and I hoped he didn't made this awkward.

"Hi Finn. Oh this is Steve my boyfriend. Steve this is my friend Finn and." I say but I don't really know the girl name.

"Sarah." She says with a cocky voice as she looks at Steve. God why everyone is looking at him.

"I would say I hope I got your votes and the best queen may win right Q?" She says with a not so nice tone to Quinn who nods trying to smile at her and then they leave.

"Talk about awkward." Matt says and Mercedes hits her.

"Isn't that your ex boyfriend?" Steve whispers at my ear and I nod.

"He's was also Quinn ex." I tell him and he looks at Quinn and Sam surprised.

"That explains a lot actually."

"We should probably go anyway." Mercedes says as she starts to leave.

"Come with us we have a lot of free space." Steve says and I smile at him. I didn't even asked for him to do something like this but he did. See perfect boyfriend.

When the 6 of us entered the gym everyone was already dancing but I could feel some eyes on us but I let it go as I went to find Kurt and Blaine who were surprised but happy to see Steve.

Steve and were dancing to a slower song as I looked and saw Sam and Quinn smiling at us and touched my face on Steve's shoulder.

"Thank you for this." I tell him and I could feel his hands on my back.

"I wanted to do this." He tells me and I look at his beautiful smile and he's shinny blue eyes and I lean in to kiss him.

"I love you." We told each other as we danced and once the song ended Steve went to get me something to drink and I sat on our table.

"You take the cake Berry congratulations." Santana says coming in with Brittany and Quinn since Sam was singing.

"What?"

"At the best prom date." Tina says and I look over at the drinking table were Mike and Steve are talking.

"I hope he's not shaming himself." Tina says referring to his boyfriend.

"Where it goes Ma'am." Steve says giving me a glass and kissing my hair as I smile at him.

"Thank you."

"It's my pleasure. Care for a dance?" He tells me like a gentlemen and I could see the girls giving me the I told you look as I smile and went to the dance floor again.

"Ok everyone time to reveal prom King and Queen." The principal says as we all got together. It turned ok to be Karosky and Kurt who ran ways.

"I got to go." I tell Steve but I see Blaine stopping me.

"I will." He says and I nod as I sat in the same table as Mercedes and Matt waiting for the couple to return.

"Eat your heart out, Kate Middleton!" Kurt says and all the glee girls and some other people scream at him happily.

"Where are you guys going, it's time the after party?" Mercedes screams at me and Steve as we both walk to the limo but I notice that Steve had some other plans.

"Sorry Cedes got plans. See you at school." I say touching Steve jackets that is on my shoulders so I won't get cold.

Steve opened the Limo door to us as I enter followed by him.

"Where are we going?" I ask him as I lay on his chest.

"It's a surprise and it will take an hour to get there I hope you don't mind."

"No I don't besides there are plenty of things to do in a limo until we get there." I say as I kiss him feeling his smile as he deeps the kiss.

I woke up with the Steve's arms around me making me smile. I got up and put one of blankets over my naked body as I walked to the hotel suit balcony sitting on a chair appreciating the ocean view. I stayed there for some time until I felt some hands on my shoulders.

"You up early."

"It's lunch time." I tell him as I feel his lips on my neck.

"Hum… speaking of lunch what about room service?"

I turn to face him as he was on his knees besides the chair wearing his boxes and I pout a little.

"Lunch in bed." I say and then give him a mischievously smile. "Sound amazing."

"I will order it." He says and I nod getting from the chair and I see Steve looking at me and linking his lip. "You should probably get dress."

"Luck me I didn't brought clothes. So the sheet will have to serve." I tell him passing by him with a laugh as I fell his hands on my waist.

"Tease." He whispers at my ear and I turn to him kissing him deeply.

"You love it. Now food."

"Already on my way Ma'am."
