Prom
Chapter Six: Perfect Dress with an Accessory of Kisses
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lizzie woke up energetic the next morning, dragging her mother out of the house as soon as she was ready to go get the dress. Lizzie's mom drove to the mall and they went in, in hopes of finding a perfect dress. Jo suggested a small store in the corner of the downstairs that looked like it was about to go out of business. And it was soon found out why. The store held really expensive, but nice, clothing.
"Welcome," the lady at the counter said as Lizzie and Jo entered. "We're going out of business, and we're trying to get rid of all of our merchandise. Everything in the store is 75% off, no exceptions."
"Thank you," Jo said. The mother and daughter wandered over to a rack full of dresses. After about ten minutes, Lizzie found the perfect dress.
"Oh mom, it's perfect," she said, holding the dress up to her body and looking in the mirror. The dress was a dark blue with an embroidered design of light blue swirls on the bottom.
"It's very beautiful," Jo agreed.
"But it's too expensive," she commented, holding up an $800 price tag for her mother to see.
"Remember, everything's 75% off, so it would only be $200. I don't see why you couldn't get it, honey," her mother reminded her.
"I can? Yay! I love it mom. Let me try it on first," she said, and headed into the dressing room. She came out a minute or two later, clad in the elegant dress. She gave a little twirl to model the dress for her mother.
"You look great Lizzie. Tell you what, I'll pay for half and you can pay the other half. Deal?" her mom offered.
"Really? Thanks mom!" Lizzie said, and went to change out of the dress. Before they left, Lizzie found a small matching handbag that wasn't too expensive and paid for the items, and they headed back home. Jo told Lizzie she had a pair of high heels that would go with the dress and purse, so she didn't need to get any. Lizzie also had a hair appointment in a couple hours, so she neede to take a shower and wash her hair. When she got home, that's what she did.

Lizzie soon had her hair done: it was all set in a bun except a thick strand that hung from each side of her face, curly and highlighted. With her hair and full Prom ensamble, Lizzie was to die for. Which is exactly what Gordo said when he saw her in her outfit.
"Lizzie, Gordo's here to see you," Sam called from downstairs.
"Send him up," she called back, not really minding if he saw her in the dress already. Just then, Gordo came into her room.
"Wow," he said.
"Shut up," she teased.
"I'm serious. You're to die for Lizzie."
She blushed and told him she'd ne right back, she wanted to change back into her regular clothes. When she came back, Gordo said she still looked stunning.
"You wanna go for a walk hottie?" he asked.
"Yes, stud," she answered, and they went outside. They walked in silence until they got to an area of town full of empty lots and houses for sale. "Gordo," Lizzie started.
"Yeah?" he asked, looking at her intently.
"I was just wondering if..." she started, until she realized that her and Gordo's eyes were both fluttering shut as their faces were nearing each other's. "...if...you'd...kiss...me..." she said, her sentence ending as their lips met. After a couple minutes of PG-rated, open-mouthed kissing, Lizzie felt Gordo pulling back, and she slowly opened her eyes, revealing his own.
"Yes," he answered a little too late, smiling. "Lizzie... I want you to know that I'm glad you're my date tomorrow, and I'm glad that I didn't accept the offer I had before I asked you."
Slightly surprised, Lizzie spoke up. "Someone asked you to the Prom?"
"Yeah... Kate did..."
"Kate? No way, are you serious?" Lizzie said, awestruck.
"Yeah, I thought it was weird too. It was a couple days before Ethan asked Miranda. She told me that her and Ethan had broke up, but I thought it was odd, that's why I cautioned Miranda."
"Weird. I doubt Kate suddenly had a change of heart or Ethan just suddenly noticed Miranda and me," Lizzie said, pondering the idea.
"Yeah, I think they're up to no good. Somehow," Gordo put in.
"There's nothing we can do about it but wait and see. I just wish Miranda would listen to me," Lizzie said.

The day of the Prom, Lizzie and Gordo had fun in all their classes. The teachers didn't assign any homework since it was a dance night, and all the seniors were in a festive mood. Couples were seen all around the school: Lizzie and Gordo, Ethan and Miranda, Claire and Danny Kesslar, all seemingly happy. But as Lizzie and Gordo passed a group containing Kate, Claire, and some other popular students, they overheard a part of their conversation.
"Yeah," Kate said with a laugh. "I got the idea from the movie 'Never Been Kissed.' This is going to be so great."
"What are they talking about?" Gordo whispered.
"I don't know, but I think you're right, they're up to no good," Lizzie said, and the two left for their next class.

What is Kate talking about? What's Miranda's problem? Are Kate and Ethan really up to something? Why did Kate ask Gordo out? Will Miranda make up with Lizzie and Gordo? Who will be crowned King and Queen? Find out in Chapter 7, the longest chapter to be, of Prom.
