E's POV
I stare at the poster hanging next to my locker. "JUNIOR PROM! HAWAIIAN LUAU!"
Sighing I make mental note of the date and time. Girls all around me squeal as they think about all the glory that is prom. I groan. Prom is nice and all, but it involves planning and money. Money that I don't have. Money for dinner, a tux, corsage, and limo.
"Hey, Sweet!" a voice hollers.
"Hey, Jerome," I respond turning towards him. He races up to me.
"I was thinking of putting together an Anubis group fro Prom. I'll take care of the dinner and limo plans. You just give me the money."
"How much money?" I question.
"I don't know yet. I'll figure out the total cost and divide it by the number of people that end up going," he explains.
"Sounds good," I respond. "About how many people?"
"I'm going to invite all of Anubis house," he answers.
"Great. See you soon," I tell him. I smile as he walks away. The planning is over. Now, I just need the money.
"Edison!" I hear my father exclaim.
"Yeah, dad?" I respond walking over to him.
"Let me know how much money you need for your prom," he says. "I'll cover it."
"Wow dad! Thanks!" I exclaim.
"I have an old tux that you can wear, if you want," he adds.
"Thanks! That'd be wonderful!"
"Come over after school, and I'll give it to you."
I say goodbye and go to the lounge with a smile on my face.
"What are you so happy about?" Piper asks walking over.
"I'm all set for prom. I got the money, the planning, and the tux."
"Did you decide how you are going to ask Patricia?" she questions sitting down next to me.
"What do you me-"
I am cut off by a girl squealing. Turning over, I see a guy asking a girl to prom. He gave her a cookie cake with the word "Prom" on it.
"See," Piper says pointing. "The grand gesture of asking the girl to prom is everything."
I sigh. "But it's Patricia."
"Yeah, so? Patricia may have a devil-may-care attitude, but she has a soft spot for you. I know her. She really wants some stupid grand gesture."
Another squeal is heard from a girl that got an invite. Her boyfriend gave her a fortune cookie with a prom invite in it.
"But Piper!" I exclaim. "I don't know how to do a stupid grand gesture."
"Figure it out," she orders. "Because if you don't, you'll break Trixie's heart. And if you break her heart, I will kill you."
I take a deep breath and nod. Alfie comes over to us.
"Hey, Eddie," he greets. He intertwines his fingers with Piper's.
She looks down and gasps. On his four fingers are the letters P, R, O, and M. On his thumb is a question mark.
"YES!" she exclaims pulling him in for a kiss.
I sigh. What on earth am I going to do?
My worry deepens as prom approaches. Jerome asked Mara with bouquet of roses, chocolates, and a romantic setting.
Fabian asked Nina using a coded message with hieroglyphics.
Amber's boyfriend asked her by using pink sidewalk chalk to write "PROM?" in huge letter outside Anubis house.
Mick asked Joy by giving her a pizza with pepperoni's spelling out "PROM?".
Out of all my friends, I was the only one not to have asked his girlfriend yet. I need to ask Yacker soon, but how?
I lay the treasure map on her bed. Smiling, I walk away and hide in the attack.
When she finds the treasure map, she will be taken to 4 places. At the first place, she will find a pineapple with the letter P carved into it. Next, she will find a red notebook with the letter R written on it. Third, she will find a stuff octopus with a foam O stuck on it. She will next be led to a bunch of M&M's in the shape of an M.
After she finds the 4 letters, she will be led to me.
It takes Patricia about forty-five minutes to find me. When she sees me kneeling on the floor holding a single rose, her face lights up. She agrees to go with me, and I smile before pulling her into a snog.
On the night of the prom, Jerome's limo picks us up and leads us to a Hawaiian restaurant.
"Staying with the theme," he explains. We look like total idiots in our fancy dresses and tuxes in a casual restaurant. Still, we have fun.
In the middle of the dinner, performers go onto a stage. They begin to sing, dance, hula, and play the ukulele.
"I can play that," I whisper to Patricia.
When the host announces a ukulele battle, I instantly regret saying anything to Patricia.
She volunteers me for the contest, and I am shoved on stage by my friends. I will face off with the professional player. If I win, our entire meal is free.
I grab the ukulele and begin to play a song my mom taught me.
The professional plays after me.
By some stream of luck, I win. After giving us our free meal, the host pulls me aside.
"Can you sign this?" he asks holding out the ukulele I had used to win. "You are the first person in history to beat the professional."
I sign the instrument, and he puts it on the wall.
Patricia gives me a nice, long, hard congratulations snog in front of everyone. Unashamed, she sits in my lap as we make out.
"Alright you two," Jerome says. "It's time to go."
Patricia leans in and whispers, "You can play me like a ukulele anytime." After a teasing nibble to my earlobe, she stands up and walks away.
It's gonna be a fun prom.
Crappy, I know. I had no idea what to do for U.
Next chapter will be the actual PROM!
I'm sorry if they don't have Hawaiian stuff in Britain. I'm American, obviously. I had to use a Hawaiian theme to be able to do the word.

Love y'all
