Maybe Lucky, maybe not
I snapped out of my stunned trance and quickly hurried to trig. I looked at the hall clock; I was already 5 minutes late for lesson.
"Shoot," I muttered quietly under my breath. How long exactly had I been standing stunned in the hallway? I walked as fast as my legs could go to class. I arrived at the door of the lesson, and slowly opened it.
"Sorry I'm late for lesson Sir, it won't happen again," I said looking at Mr Stanley. I could feel the class's eyes on me.
"Very well miss swan. Make sure you're not late again. Now take your seat." He said turning his attention to the board. I took my seat in my regular spot by the window. Mr Stanley began writing various things on the board explaining each question as we progressed.
Soon enough it was lunch. I got into the queue picking up a bottle of water and a green apple. I paid for my items and walked to the usual table where me and my friends met up and talked about topics, news, gossip and any other random things that came into our head.
I sat down next to Angela, who was talking to her boyfriend Ben. Mike sat next to him with his arms round Jess's waist and finally next to Jessica sat Lauren and Tyler. I was the odd one out on the table. I was the odd one out when we went out to movies. I felt like I was the odd person out in everything in life, as if there was a hole. A hole with a gap that couldn't be filled. I felt so empty. Something or someone was missing.
Out of the corner of my eye I could see Bree Bishop Leader of the prom committee walking to our table, with bright coloured papers in her hand. She finally approached our table and we all looked up at her.
"Hey guys. You all going to the dance?" She asked. We all nodded and the whole table looked at me like I was an alien from another planet. Angela looked at me and said.
"You need to tell me everything," Mike just laughed at what she said; he was the only person who knew about me and James. I felt my cheeks getting hot.
"Okay then. Here's some flyers about the new prom date and information about where it now going to be. There was a cancelation at the last venue so the prom committee had to change the date, so instead of it being on Friday it's now been changed to Wednesday. Sorry for the inconvenience hope you guys have a great time at prom." She said. She put the coloured flyer in the middle of the table and walked off to the next table. I looked round to see if James knew about the new date for prom. There he was sitting with his friends with an orange flyer in his hands. He saw me looking in his direction and caught my eye contact. He smiled then reached in his pocket for what seamed like his phone. Maybe he was texting somebody about the new date.
My eyes wondered back to my own table and Angela and Jess demanded me to tell them who I was going to prom with. I told them about this morning about James asking me and the situation in the hallway. I smiled thinking about it, since when was Monday my lucky day, it's usually my worse. I either trip other a chair and make a big scene or walk into someone locker door that they left open or slip...
I was interrupted by my accident thoughts when I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. I looked at it and I had a message. I opened it up.
Bella, I know about the date don't worry, same arrangements. Just instead of on Friday, now on Wednesday. Can't wait to see how beautiful you look xxx James
P.s -Mike gave me your number. Hope you don't mind. Xx
I saved his number into my phonebook and decided to send one back, saying that I didn't mind he had my number and that I couldn't wait until Wednesday. I told him he could pick me up at 6 so were at the venue on time for 6:30.
"So Bella what colour dress are you wearing," Jess asked. Shoot, the one thing I forgot about, a dress.
"Jess I don't even know yet. I haven't got one yet. It completely slipped my mind," I said.
"Oh, me and Angela were going to Port Angeles after school to go get shoes, you can come if you want and we'll help you pick one," She said.
"Sure that would be great. Let me just text my dad telling that I'll be home late tonight," I said, quickly texting Charlie.
The end of lunch bell rung and me and Ben went to our next class which was art. The day slowly passed by, and I couldn't wait for the day to end. I met Angela and Jess in the car park and followed behind them in the car. We arrived and looked around for a bit. I found a royal blue strapless dress which Jess and Angela said complimented the colour of my skin. I also got really cute shoes and accessories. We paid and left the store with 4 bags each. We decided to go to Bella Italia for dinner, so I texted Charlie so he could order pizza or takeaway or something. I ordered my dessert first which was hot chocolate fudge cake. The planet could get hit by a meteor the size of Saturn, even know the chance of that happening is extremely unlikely. So why waste time eating a meal first when the one thing I really wanted was the chocolate fudge cake. And for my meal I ordered mushroom ravioli with a glass of coke. Jess had Chicken Caesar salad with a strawberry milkshake and sticky toffee pudding and Angela had tuna pasta bake with water and banana cheese cake. After the meal we decided to head home. It took about an hour and a half to get back when I got in my dad was once again asleep on the couch. He must have been too tired to walk up stairs to bed, he's been trying to catch this important guy who escaped from prison 13 years ago. That's all I know is that there is a guy who escaped dads not allowed to tell anyone not even blood the details. I kissed him on the cheek and whispered good night and went upstairs to my room. I hung my things in my wardrobe and got changed into my shorts and t-shirt for bed. Less then two days till prom. With that I fell asleep.
