A/N Sorry it took so long. I'm blaming it on the holidays....
Here's the next three chapters. We're hitting the home stretch people.
We entered the hall. The entire large room was covered in streamers of blue and gold.
Balloons, netting, lights and confetti covered every inch of the large hall.
This was our Prom...and it was beautiful.
We walked in, the four of us. Making small talk with the other students who came up to
us, getting our pictures taken with friends, complementing the other girls on their dresses.
We got settled at our table and carried on conversations with the other people at our table
during dinner.
After dinner, came the dancing.
Gerald took my hand and we took the dance floor. During this time, I watched Helga and Arnold. During dinner, they still acted like only friends, So much so, that no one I had come into contact gave it a thought that they were really here as anything more than close friends.
Helga had been talking to everyone, even agreeing to dance with the other guys; Sid,
Stinky, Even Harold. She even agreed to dance once with Brainy.
As they took the dance floor, Lila walked up to Arnold and asked him to dance. Which he
accepted. I flinched slightly, waiting for Helga to explode when she saw them.
But it never came.
As they danced past each other, she looked up, smiling knowingly at him. He
smiled back.
The song for the theme of the Prom came on. Gerald swept me into his arms and onto the
dance floor. For a moment everything disappeared. There was no Prom, no friends, only
Gerald and I and the music. he looked down at me and I could only think of him, wishing
the Prom was over, anticipating after Prom. Wondering how we could ditch Helga and
Arnold and start our own after Prom party.
Helga and Arnold.
Opening my eyes, I scanned the dance floor over Gerald's shoulder looking for my friend.
Wondering if she was even dancing.
I spotted them across from us, dancing slowly to the music.
What I saw made me gasp.
