Chapter 2: It's Back
It was the last dance of my grad year. I was dancing with my boyfriend, Darcy and everything was falling into place. I had almost the top marks in my class and I was going to med school next year. My boyfriend was probably the nicest, hottest and smartest guy of all and I was finally happy. I was nominated for prom queen and I had a fifty percent chance of winning. This was gonna be good.
My head was pressed against Darcy's chest and I closed my eyes thinking about what was in store for me next. Principal Morrissey stood at the podium, with the two envelopes that would announce the prom king and queen. My heart raced as I watched him open the one for prom king. "And the prom king for this year is." Mr. Morrissey opened the envelope, "Darcy Fletcher!" Darcy beamed. He kissed me and walked up to the stage. I was so happy for him. I truly hoped that prom queen was me.
Mr. Morrissey opened the other envelope revealing prom queen. "And the prom queen for this year is." Mr. Morrissey began. I could barely stand because I was so nervous. I would be really scared if I was chosen, but if I wasn't chosen then I would be heartbroken. What was I to do, hope not to get picked so I could hide and have my heart broken or be picked and be a nervous wreck, but show Darcy that I was his forever? The principal opened the envelope. "Dana Scully!" I was so nervous, but I smiled and made my way to the stage. I stood beside Darcy.
"I knew you could do it, Dana," he whispered. I smiled in reply. He put his arm around me and I put my arm around him.
"Now for the traditional prom king and queen dance!" Mr. Morrissey said. Slow dance music began to play and Darcy and I began to dance.
"You look beautiful," Darcy said as he dipped me. I stared into his eyes and smiled.
"As do you," I said, "I mean, in a guy way." He laughed and I smiled. He kissed me and I found myself in heaven with him. Then it happened.
I held my head in pain. "Are you alright, babe?" he asked me. I just held my head. "Dana?"
I screamed in pain and passed out. Everybody in the gym got closer to see what had happened. I was on the floor with Darcy holding my head up so I could breathe properly. "Call an ambulance!" he shouted.
The next day I found myself in the hospital with my family looking over me. It was just like the time when I was ten, except everybody was older. Everybody looked at me in awe. "I thought it was over," I said.
"What do you mean?" asked my mother, "You're fine."
"No, you don't understand," I said, "It's back."
