Jean's ~POV~
I woke up the next day. I yawned as I looked at my calendar. I'm going jogging with Julie later at 10am...Cheerleading practice at 3pm...Going to the prom with Tom at 7pm...I rubbed my eyes and looked again.
I squealed. The prom's tonight! Yay!
I ran over to Jenna's bed.
"Jenna! Its today! The prom is today!" I said to Jenna excitedly.
"Terrific" She mumbled, still half asleep.
"Jenna wake up, you got to get a fresh start to this beautiful day" I said chirpily.
"I will be fresh...at 12noon" She said and tucked her head under her pillow.
"But-oh forget it" I said and threw my arms in the air as a sign of defeat.
I needed to get going!
I brushed my teeth and pulled on a pair of track pants and Nike t-shirt.
I went down into the lunchroom and grabbed an apple.
Eden Hall was huge; so one run round around it was probably the best workout you could do.
I waved as I saw Julie already doing her stretching.
I threw the remains of my apple into the bin and walked over to where Julie was. I did my stretching and we started jogging.
"So, you excited about the prom?" She asked as we started to jog.
"Very! I can hardly wait" I replied happily.
"Okay, let me rephrase: Are you excited about going to the prom with Tom?" She asked. What was she up to?
"Why?" I asked suspiciously.
She shrugged and didn't say a word until we finished jogging.
"Well see you at the prom" She said and walked off.
I waved and walked up to my dorm but I couldn't stop thinking about what Julie said. Did I want to go to the prom with Tom? Or someone else? Someone like...Adam? No! No way! Adam and I are just good friends! At least that's how I feel right?
Time flew by really quickly and soon I was minutes away from going to the prom.
I was wearing my denim dress. It was the most dorky thing in my entire wardrobe, but it was the only formal outfit I had.
I was perfecting my hair when there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it" I said and ran to the door, hoping it was Tom.
I opened the door. It wasn't Tom. It was Adam. In a tuxedo!
"Wow Adam! You look so...formal" I said, scanning him from head to toe.
He raised his eyebrow.
"Okay, okay! I'll tell Jenna her date is here" I said and went to get Jenna.
Adam's ~POV~
I waited outside for Jenna when I saw Tom heading my way.
"Well hello Banks, fancy meeting you here" Tom said.
I narrowed my eyes, "Watch it Riley"
He sneered and looked away.
Jean came running to the door with Jenna.
"Hey Tom" Jean said gleefully and ran towards him.
"Ready to go" Tom said in his oh-so-FAKE enthusiastic tone.
She nodded and waved goodbye to Jenna and me.
Jenna watched them leave, then she said, "Cute couple, don't you think?"
Cute couple? Yeah right!
"Whatever, let's go" I said.
She gave me a suspicious grin and nodded her head.
When we reached the hall, I saw Jean already dancing with Tom.
I watched as I saw Tom whisper something into Jean's ear.
I promise you, if he's trying to hit on her I will personally strangle him!
"Adam? Hello!" Jenna said, waving her hand in front of my face.
I pushed her hands away. She turned to look at the direction I was looking at.
"I never knew Jean and Tom were so entertaining" She said sarcastically.
I smiled at her remark, eyes still fixed on them.
Jenna rolled her eyes; "I'm getting a drink, when you decide that you wanna dance, I'm at the punch bowl" She said and walked off.
A guilty feeling in me came up. I wasn't giving Jenna a good time at all; I didn't even try.
I turned and ran towards Jenna.
"I'm ready to dance now," I said.
"So? I'm not the person you want to dance with" She replied calmly, avoiding my eye contact.
"Of course I do" I said lying through my teeth.
"No, the person you want to dance with is with Tom" She said "And don't deny it, I know you like her"
"Firstly, tell anyone and I will have your life and secondly she's with Tom, there's nothing I can do" I said admitting defeat.
"Ask her to dance then! Do I need to teach you how to do everything?"
Ask her to dance? I can't do that! What if she says no?
Jean's ~POV~
I grabbed a punch and sat on a chair. One of Tom's friends whispered something into his ear and the next thing I knew, he had to leave.
I sighed and gulped down the rest of my punch.
I looked around the room. Some of the Ducks were sitting down and chatting. Louis was flirting with a girl and Charlie was arguing with Lynda, again.
In just a few minutes, the dance will be over. Just then, I saw Adam walking towards me.
"Hey, where's Tom?" he asked politely.
"Left a while ago," I replied.
"Oh"
I could have sworn I saw a smile creep onto his face.
"Do you ermm, do you wanna dance?" he asked sheepishly.
I smiled and nodded.
We walked into the center of the room and were about to dance when a slow song came on.
I smiled and put my arms around his neck as he slipped his fingers round my waist.
I lay my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. Everything felt perfect.
As I closed my eyes, I could see myself figure skating, I could feel every jump.
Wait! I never actually FELT it. I opened my eyes. Could I figure skate again?
I let go of Adam abruptly.
"Meet me in the rink in 5 minutes" I said to Adam and ran off.
"Please don't be a false alarm" I muttered to myself.
I grabbed my skates and ran to the rink.
"Jean, what's this all about?" Adam asked, panting.
I took a deep breath and stepped out onto the ice.
I skated a while and did a jump. I did it! I did it!
But I didn't stop there. I did as much tricks as I could.
When I grew tired, I lay flat down onto the ice and laughed uncontrollably as Adam skated over.
"Now my life is perfect," I said closing my eyes.
When I opened them, I could see Adam smiling back at me.
"You know, I didn't get to finish dancing with you," I said.
"Well, then you will owe my half a dance," He said gleefully "Hey since we're on the topic of you owing me, I was wondering if..."
"If what?" I asked, even though I knew what he was going to say.
"If you would like to go for a movie with me...like on a ...on a...date?" He continued nervously.
I looked into his clear blue eyes. Did I really like this guy?
"I'd love to"
"Great! Pick you up at 8 on Saturday"
"Great" I replied happily. I guess I was going to find out. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Oh!! So sorry for holding on to this chapter so long!!
