A/N: Thanks for everything! Please review more!
Like I said, this was going to be interesting.
So what should I do? I could alter the clues so it pointed to me or lead him to someone else. I wanted him to find out, but I didn't want to tell him.
So I talked to Tawni about it. Here's what we came up with:
I suggest he throws another ball and reveal it's me.
I didn't really like the idea, but I had to come clean sometime. I mean, he can't search for me forever. Tawni's ideas are really starting to get to me.
So, I told this to him and he agreed.
"Why don't you host another ball?"
"That's actually a good idea, Munroe."
Chad booked the cafeteria and was in charge of setting up. I redesigned my secret prom setting and invitations were sent out.
Tawni helped me get ready and once again I stepped into the cafeteria. This time Chad was waiting by the door. He led me out to the patio and this time held me by the shoulders.
"I need to know who you are." He said.
"It's better if you don't." I replied.
"Why?"
"Because we're not suppose to be together."
"How do you know that?"
"Just trust me. It's better this way."
"I don't care what you say."
"Please? Don't you have to be dancing with some other girl?"
"The only girl I ever want again is you."
"I wish I could say the same thing, but I can't."
"Why? Is there something about me you don't like?"
"No, I love you, but if you knew who I was, you wouldn't feel the same way."
"How do you know that?"
"I just do."
"No you don't." another voice said from behind me. It was Tawni. She came up and removed her mask.
"Tawni?" Chad asked.
"Yes, now Sonny, why don't you remove your mask?" Tawni said, looking at me. She ran back inside.
Chad lifted the mask off my face. He looked at me with an expression I couldn't read.
"I told you!" I screamed and started to run. Tear drops ran down my face like a river. Chad grabbed my arm and held a firm grip on it. We stood like that for awhile.
Finally, he dragged me back to face him.
"Why didn't you just tell me?" he asked. His eyes were filled with hurt and shock.
"Because. Like I said before, you don't want me now."
"You don't know that. And as a matter of fact, I still do. All those things I said, I meant. What about you? Did you mean all of the things you said or was it all a lie?"
"No. I meant every last word I said. I still feel that way right now."
"So then what's stopping us from moving on?"
I remained silent. There was nothing. Nothing at all.
Before I knew what was happening, I was lifted off my feet into a passionate kiss. And the best part was I kissed back.
Nothing was holding me from doing what I wanted. I had made a mistake and then corrected it.
And I had found my happy ending.
