I only have one thing to say…Writters Block, A bad case of Writters block. ^-*Fuschia
Kiyomeru
My alarm clock rang aloud in my ears after I had finally fallen asleep, despite my excitement for today. Its funny how one moment the thought of a prom would make me cry, but in an instant my tears fade as someone comes to brush them away.
While sitting here I can hear Sora describe her perfect dress, yelling it loud enough so Tai can hear her. "Ok I want my dress to be long oh and it must be like a soft color and maybe a strapless? I don't know what do you think Tai?" Asked Sora with a hint of a smile playing on her lips.
"Why are you asking me? I'm renting a tux." Replied Tai, in his dense way. At that very moment Matt rolled his eyes and slapped Tai over the head.
"You idiot!" he said while
"Sora Tai would love to take you too prom and but being the chicken shit he is he was unable to ask you himself," said Matt while shoving Tai over to get more room for himself.
Than and there it hit me, Matt never even asked me to prom, was he even going too? I mean we are going out but does that always automatically make me going to prom with him? He could than again turn around and ask someone else too prom… I mean this is Matt we're talking about, the mysterious guy who likes to always have the element of surprise on his victims…I suppose I'm a victim now.
"What's the deal man? You're making me look like a pansy!" Shot Tai.
"Well you wouldn't look like one if you stopped acting like one!" answered Matt
"Dude, the whole bus can hear us," stated a stunned Tai.
The bus all of a sudden stopped in front of a long street with stores all bustling with people going in and out of shops. Ms. Takai stood in front of us all.
"Right, now that we're hear we're going to split off into groups of four, now you 'juniors' as I'm going to call you will split off into one group; that would be T.K, Kari, Ken and Yolei. As for you elders that would be Sora, Mimi, Matt and…Tai pay attention I'm only going to say this once! You all must be back here by EXACTLY
Three p.m. got it? Good." She said while ushering us off of the bus.
"Ms. Takai must we stay with the people we were assigned with?" questioned Sora, I think she just wanted to go shopping with me and the other girls.
"Why do you ask?" Asked Ms. Takai.
"I'm in the same group as my date! Can't we just go girls with girls guys with guys? I don't want him to see my dress yet!" stated Sora.
"Perhaps… Ok fine scratch all the pointless things I just said and go off with same sex members." Ms. Takai than sat down on a bench with a magazine, where she would probably remain for the rest of the afternoon.
"So ladies where shall we go first?" Announced Sora while skipping down the sidewalk, I laughed.
"You're giddy Sora admit it!" I called after her.
"Why ever would you say that Mimi?" Smiled Sora.
"I don't know maybe because you're going to our prom with Tai!" I laughed.
Kari and Yolei had finally caught up to us, when suddenly I wondered something…Why are they going to our prom when they're clearly younger than us?
"Hey Yolei, why does you and your friends get to go to our prom? You're not seniors like us?" I questioned as we walked down the sidewalk.
"Its kind of hard to explain, really it all started because of the mixed age groups. I mean although in a few years we generally would get prom ourselves it was kind of a way to keep our groups knit close by having everyone involved in everything together." Explained Yolei with a happy smile at the end.
"Makes sense I suppose for this whack school," I replied. We had already lost Sora into one of the gown shops on the side of the street.
"Mimi! Look at this one its so beautiful I think it would be perfect for me!" She shouted while running into the store. I'd never seen the super girly side of Sora… I was still contemplating whether I would want to see it ever again.
"Oh Mimi what do you think?" Called out Sora slightly swaying holding the dress closely against her body.
The dress was beautiful, it was a long vibrant red dress that would go past her feet with spaghetti straps that crisscrossed in the back, with a pair of red high heels the dress would be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen Sora wear! However it was definitely not a soft color! In fact totally opposite!
"Sora that will look amazing on you! What luck you have if you've found the perfect dress the first time you see it!" I giggled.
"No way, how is it you found the perfect dress that I was imagining!" Sulked Kari.
As soon as Sora received her compliments she ran straight to the dressing room to try it on, it hung all the way around her feet and shook like a bell when she swayed side to side. Just as she was trying it on Yolei started freaking out in the way she usually did when she liked something.
"I found it! I found it! the one I want!!! T.K will LOVE it!!" Called out Yolei. I shot a look at Kari who was sitting quietly in the corner.
"Kari isn't T.K your boyfriend?" I whispered into her ear.
"No he's not my boyfriend, he's taking Yolei to prom and that's cool! I'm happy for her I know how much she likes him." she replied in a whispered tone.
"Was it a pity date Kari? Come on we both know T.K likes you… Well not JUST us everyone knows he likes you," I explained to her, Kari turned away. Than I realized something for the first time, Yolei always seems to go after the guys that clearly like other people, maybe there's more too her than we thought.
"MIMI LOOK!" Shouted Yolei as she exited her change room, there she stood in probably one of the most gorgeous dress's I'd ever seen, not to say that Sora's wasn't pretty; I mean it totally was; but Yolei's dress was the kind of dress that I myself would wear. It kind of clung to her skin as she walked, it was long and had straps that let into a loose neckline the color was a fading blue from head too toe. It was beautiful… I wish I myself had of seen it first.
"Yolei I am truly jealous of you right now," I said out loud as I watched her walk around in the masterpiece of a dress.
I could picture it on her, once her hair had been pulled up of course and she was lovely
"Are you really jealous of me Mimi? My Idol jealous of me!?" She got excited, a little too excited if you ask me.
"I must buy this dress!!" She shouted around the room.
"Look Mimi I think you've created a credit card monster!" giggled Sora..
"That's platinum card monster!" Shouted Yolei from the fitting rooms.
Yolei than ran past us and straight to the clerk working in the till and bought the dress. Yolei and Sora walked out with their purchases hand in hand, they were happy and satisfied but as for me and Kari what were we supposed to wear? Before I knew it Kari was running in front of us and across the street to another boutique with brides maid dress's in the window.
"That one," pointed Kari as she ran into the boutique.
However none of us could figure out what she had picked until she stepped down the marble three set stair case they had near the fitting rooms.
"Well what do you think?" She asked shyly as she turned around for us.
To be honest with you I pictured Kari as the type to pick out a pretty soft pink or yellow dress that was the normal spaghetti straps and the bottom half that trailed down to her feet, this was like black and white compared to what I had just described.
Kari stepped out wearing an ebony colored one shoulder dress with the bottom slanted to her left knee. It wasn't too short, but it wasn't too long either and it made her figure stand out and definitely took away that sweet look she carried about herself, it made her look sexy and a little more dark.
"Kari you look so beautiful" The words were taken out of my mouth as I turned around to see Tai standing there with Matt holding tux bags in each other there arms. Kari blushed and twirled around for them.
"You really think so?" She wondered as she walked towards him.
"Of course I think so, even if you weren't my sister I would still say it!" he joked, Matt nodded in agreement with Tai. I smiled at him and he smiled back.
"WAIT! Who is all with you?" Questioned Kari.
"Just us Ken and T.K are across the street," They said in unison.
"Well we'll leave you ladies to your shopping I suppose," said Matt while dragging Tai out of the store.
I watched them leaved and let out a big sigh again, When was Matt thinking of asking me to prom? Or just could he have possibly asked someone else? No need to physic myself out.
"Mimi we're heading across the street ok?" Said Yolei as the three walked out the door.
And just as I was about to leave something caught my eye, something that I'd never seen anything else like. A dress that appeared to be telling me too try it on. I removed the dress from the rack and quickly went to the fitting rooms; it was just my size and nothing about it was wrong, the color the style and the way it made me feel when I was in it did it all for me. I walked right up to that cashier and bought the dress. Not to by conceded but the person who designed the dress must have been thinking of someone who looked like me because they way I felt in that dress was happy.
"Mimi you bought something! Let us see it!" Smiled Sora.
"You'll see it but not until prom," I grinned as I walked towards where Ms. Takai was STILL sitting.
"You're seriously not going to let us have a peek?" whined Yolei.
"My my my aren't you impatient?" I giggled. Yolei frowned.
"Why do people keep telling me that?"
That just made me laugh even more.
"I'm serious!" she stated.
Pretty soon after that the guys all arrived with their purchases, I can only guess tuxes or suits either way, they're all look beautiful. Yes men can be beautiful too! That night when we got home I crawled into my bed and just laid there for a few hours thinking about my dress, but with the lack of sleep I was getting I decided to get up and go outside.
I quietly slipped on a pair of shoes and my jacket and crept out the door too where Matt sat smoking, I stood behind him.
"You know I don't like men who smoke," I said
"What? You can't be Mimi for she is going out with a guy who smokes!" He mocked.
"You should seriously quit that's so bad for you!" I replied.
"You're right I should I quit as soon as I get out of school how about that?" He bargained.
"Hmm if you can promise me that I will be satisfied," I answered.
"Well you've got my word than," He said while placing his free hand over his heart.
I couldn't take all the tension of him not asking me to prom I was going crazy! But maybe he was waiting for me to be spontaneous, no he wouldn't do that too me, or would he? With Matt you never know I always seem to be second guessing him, that's the one thing I hate about him but yet at the same time that's the one thing I love about him!
"Matt will you go to prom with me?" There I asked it.
"Are you serious? No no no I'M the one who asks YOU to go to prom, I had this all planned out!" He laughed "Now don't say anything for the next few seconds!"
"Umm ok," I replied
"No saying anything!" He laughed, he than put out his cigarette and pulled me onto his lap he than stared into my eyes.
"Mimi Meiko Tachikawa will you give me the pleasure of accompanying you too prom as your date?" Asked Matt as he fought back a smile in hopes to look serious.
"How do you know my middle name?" I asked surprised. He didn't answer.
"Yes Yamato don't know what your middle name is Ishida I will go to prom with you," I smiled.
He than bent down and kissed me and when we finally parted he whispered into my ear, "Kisho,"
I looked at him in confusion.
"Kisho? What is that?" I asked. He laughed.
"You didn't know my middle name that's it, Kisho. It means one who knows his own mind." He said
I let out a sigh.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I was just thinking how my name means ear," I replied
He started laughing and I mean really laughing if it wasn't for the fact that all the teachers were heavy sleepers and the slept on the top floor he would have waken them up with his laughing.
"I was trying to think of a comeback but I got nothing," I said with a defeated sigh. Then he started with the laughing again. So I punched him playfully in the shoulder.
"OK I'm sorry!" He laughed "I'm sorry Ear! I'm really sorry!" He replied. I just ignored him after that until he started making it up to me in kisses.
The next morning I woke up in my bed again with my jacket on, Sora had already figured out that I had snuck out again last night. Luckily she was cool with it and didn't tell anyone. I than realized that everyone had already gone which meant of course that I had slept in AGAIN! I quickly got dressed and ran down the stairs to see what new news of prom arrived today!
That was more I guess you could say a prologue to their Prom, again sorry for the writers block I know that was an awfully long wait for this chapter. Oh and I would like to thank divine-angel143 for her long review that's when I really started to think about it again! Next chapter coming out hopefully soon! Merry Christmas. ^- * Fuschia
