Chapter three
Well the evening was going great, they were having so much fun dancing. Josie always felt self-conscouis at dances. But for some reason she was here with good people and she didn't care. She and Paige went to the bathroom to touch up their make-up.
"So you an Craig?" Paige asked turning her reflection towards mine.
"Me and Craig what?" I asked in the dark.
"Are a couple."
"I don't know what we are, he just called me last night and asked me, if I had to guess it's so we don't sem like loser's at the dance by not having a date."
"uh-huh."
"What?" I said
"Let's just say that's not what I heard, hon." And with that she walked out of the bathroom. I finished putting my pink MAC lip gloss on and dropped it back in my purse. I opened the door and walked back out. They we're making announcements about who was the king and queen. I already know who won. Paige as always, but she was sweet so it's not such a big deal.
"And the 2002 winter formal queen is ... Ms. Josie McNamara." Announced Ms. Kwan.
I was so dumbstruck, I hadn't even ran, that I knew of. I looked at Craig and he smiled. I walked up to the stage where Ms. Kwan placed the crown on my head. I smiled hoping I didn't have anything in my teeth.
"And the king is..Mr. Craig Manning." Announced Mr. Simpson.
A slow song came on it was Heaven the candle light remix. It was one of my favorites even though it seemed like I was into punk. I was into everything!
"This night is just a dream come true." I whispered.
We just sat there in silence. Listening to the music and dance in step to it. I leaned my head on his shoulder, it felt so good to be in his arms I wished it would just last forever, I knew it wouldn't but hopefully there would be more romantic-ness ahead of us. Some one snapped a picture of us, I looked to see who it was and Ellie was standing there with Marco behind her smiling. The song ended and I took the camera from her. I told her to hold his hands. It made such a cute picture.
There was an hour left of the formal and it was getting a bit lame so we all decided to go to the bowling ally. We just wanted to get some pictures of us bowling all dolled up. It was the girls against the boys. Me, Ellie and Ashley, against Craig, Marco, and Sean. Surprise, Surprise the girls won! It was only 9:30 so we walked around, then went back to my house and hung out watching old movies. When Breakfast at Tiffany's was over we found Sean snoring. Ellie was staying the night but the guys had to go, so they went home.
I walked Craig to the door while everyone was in the living room making fun of Sean.
"Tonight was more then I could ask for." I said.
"Well, you didn't ask." He smiled.
"Thank you Craig." I said and leaned into kiss him. He put his fingers to my lips. "I'm the guy, I get to kiss." He said.
I smiled and he pulled me into a hug then a kiss. Simple. Then we stopped because every body was coming.
"See you tomorrow." He said and walked out into the darkness.
"Bye guys." I said.
"We are so never going to let you forget falling asleep while watching breakfast at tiffany's." I said joking.
"I'm not the classic type." He said.
"Yeah, we see that." Said Ellie.
I closed the door, we went up stairs to see that the clock read 12:45. I was so tired and could not wait to get my Gucci shoes off.
"So on a scale of one to ten how well do you think tonight went?" Ellie asked.
"Twelve and a half."
