Chapter 28
Emily smiled lightly to herself as she made sure her hair was styled perfectly, even though she had already done so twice before since arriving. Her hair was done up in a stylish bun and was still perfect.
'Well, here we go, can't believe we're here...that we've all come so far...' She thought to herself.
As she thought this she stepped back, examining herself in the mirror. She was dressed up rather formally in a black mid-thigh length dress which had a pink sash around the midsection and a pair of black heels. It was her dress for prom, where she and the rest of the group were at, after all the drama they had just endured over the past several months.
Ready to leave the bathroom, Emily still smiled. 'Well, better go and join them, wouldn't do to keep Beth waiting.'
She almost laughed at the last part but managed to restrain herself as she left the bathroom of the prom venue and began to make her way back towards the hall. When she reached the door she spotted Sam and Hannah there, making out. Both looking lovely in their knee length dresses, Sam's was red in colour with matching flats while Hannah's dress and flats were purple. Like Emily Sam had styled her hair into a bun while Hannah kept her hair down.
Smirking Emily cleared her throat, making them jump apart. "Real subtle, you two."
They turned to her, grinning and Sam spoke. "Hey Em, was wondering where you got to."
"Yeah sure, you were too busy making out to wonder." Emily replied before looking over at Hannah. "Let me guess, Beth's the one who was really wondering about where I got to."
Hannah nodded. "Yeah, c'mon, we might as well get back in there."
Emily nodded in agreement and the trio entered the dance hall.
Almost at once they spotted Mike, dressed up in his black tux with matching dress shoes and a silver tie. The tie matched the silver knee length dress and flats of his new girlfriend, Mackenzie Lee, better known as Kenzie.
She was around the same height as Emily with pale freckled skin, emerald green eyes and shoulder length jet black hair which she wore down as well as a small scar above her right eyebrow. She also had a tattoo of a heart on her ankle and, although hidden by her dress, the girls of the group had seen another tattoo, on the right side of her ribs, featuring an inspirational quote.
Kenzie was a tough one to get to know, but once you befriended her, you had a truly dedicated friend for life. As such the trio smiled and waved to the couple, who waved back and directed them towards the others, all of them heading in that direction.
When they arrived however, they found only Beth and Emily's breath caught in her throat. Beth was wearing a yellow mid-thigh length dress with black flats, her hair was loose and she didn't have any make-up or jewellery on, yet Emily couldn't take her eyes off her.
'She's stunning...' She thought to herself.
Seeing Emily Beth smirked and soon they were by each other's sides, hands linked as they kissed softly. Beth quickly explained that the others had gone to get snacks and would join them soon.
Jess smirked at the look on Matt's face as she snuggled up to his side. He'd been like this all night, ever since he had seen her dress. It was light blue and strapless, reaching down to mid-thigh, she wore blue heels to go with it and her usual, favourite thigh-high sheer stockings.
With no serial killer to fear, she saw no reason to hide her usual style. She had styled her hair in a braid which she now let drape over her left shoulder as she rested her head on Matt's shoulder. He was clad in a black tux with matching dress shoes and a tie that matched her dress in colour.
"Nice touch." She whispered to him.
Matt just laughed. "Thanks, you look incredible..."
Jess felt her face heat up at that. "Thanks. You look amazing too...so, are we really…?"
"If you truly want to."
Jess nodded. "I certainly do."
They both grinned again and turned to spot a young Asian woman approaching them, her hair was dyed blonde and she had brown eyes, she was also tall and extroverted, being quite excitable and a girly girl. She wore a pink strapless ankle length dress with a slit up the left hand side to the top of her thigh, pink heels and also wore her hair in a braid.
"Hey guys." She greeted them cheerfully.
They both smiled as Jess replied. "Hi Talia, Josh is just coming."
Talia, Josh's new girlfriend, nodded at that and soon the trio were making their way back to where the others were, spotting and joining Josh on the way, along with Chris and Ashley.
All three had dressed up, the boys clearly enamoured by their girlfriends and, like the other guys, having an article of clothing that matched their girlfriends dresses. In this case their bow-ties, Chris' was green, Josh's pink.
Josh wore the classic black tux and dress shoes while Chris' were dark blue in colour. Ashley meanwhile had her hair down and wore a green ankle length dress with matching flats.
Soon the whole group reunited and was talking cheerfully. Whenever they weren't talking they were up dancing, enjoying the night and before they knew it, it was time, the school Principal got up onto the stage, ready to make the announcement.
"Welcome, I trust you've all been having an excellent night." He announced. "Now, I must state, that this is a...different announcement than usual. After much discussion, consideration and decisions, we have determined our prom queen...or rather...queens."
That caused a lot of buzzing speculation. The group all shared a confused glance, but soon the truth came out.
"So here they are, if they could accept their crowns and begin their dance." The Principal continued. "Our Prom Queens, Emily Davis and Beth Washington."
Both girls froze, stunned, the rest of the group laughed and urged them up to the stage. It wasn't long before they were indeed dancing together as the crowd looked on, whistling, cheering and applauding. They both grinned, lost in each other's eyes.
They didn't even mind when they saw Matt and Jess slipping out. They knew what those two had planned, they had similar plans for after prom themselves. They were just happy that, at last, everything was going perfectly for them all once again.
End of chapter, hope you enjoyed it, read and review please.
