This chapter was THE PAIN IN THE ASS to finish and almost had a writer block. But i managed to finish it before New Year. If this sounds silly, this is my first time writing a romantic but that's okay. I'm ready for critisms
Dyson's POV
"OH MY GOD! THE PROM IS FINALLY HERE!" Some random group of girls shouted in excitement as I plugged my ears so that I couldn't go deaf. They finally left as I stood there looking at school bulletin board about the upcoming school prom. If you ask then I don't like prom night.
"Prom night?! Yeah, right! As if!"
"I like prom night" I surprisingly turned to see April looked at the bulletin board with a smile on her face.
"Why exactly?" I curiously asked her but she wasn't there. I looked around to see April was at ticket stand? I got curious, so I came up to the ticket stand and stood beside her.
"How much is the ticket?" She asked some geeky girl with goofy glasses.
"5.00$ for each ticket" She said as April took out her wallet but she frowned for which I didn't know why.
"What's the matter?" I asked her as she sighed, put her wallet into her pocket and then left the ticket stand. I quickly walked up to her as she stopped and leaned on the locker.
"I don't have enough money to go to prom" She sadly said as I raised my eyebrow at her.
"What's so special about prom?"
"I don't know… Maybe it's the last place I could relive all the memories I had under the wonderful night when the stars shone over the darkness… And now for the first time, this has happened" She sadly said as I patted her shoulder, tried to cheer her up.
"Remember that night when 'the sea monster' finally revealed it self?" I said as she instantly smiled and hugged me. So I guessed she still remembered that night.
"7.00AM at my house, got it?" She reminded me as I shot a yes answer. She happily grinned at me and left to somewhere as I just stood there watching her joyfully danced across the hallway.
"The coast is clear" I turned around and quickly went back to the ticket stand so that my plan could work.
"May I help you" The geeky girl as I pulled out my money and placed it down.
"Two tickets, please" I said as she handed me the tickets.
"Have a great prom night!" She wished me as I quickly left the ticket stand and went to her locker. As I made it to her locker, George just so happened to be there blocking it.
"Hey Dyson, are you going to the prom?" George excitedly asked me about going to the prom as I stared blankly at m him.
"No" I blankly replied.
"Oh come on, buddy. I know you wanna" He tried to persuade me but the only way for me to get rid of him was to poker-face him.
"No"
"Oh come on. Pretty please?"
"No"
"OH COME ON! JUST GO TO THE PROM ALREADY?!" He angrily said but then softened as he gave me his puppy eyes.
"Still no"
"Wow! I didn't know you were good at doing poker face… Anyway dude, you gonna miss a lot of fun when you are at the prom" He waved me goodbye and left for good.
"Excellent!" I walked up her locker and slowly slipped in the ticket but…
"What are you doing, Dyson?" I immediately and panicky turned around to see Roxy was there and noticed what I was doing. Oh shit!
"Do I need to repeat my question?" Roxy asked as I shook my head while sweating bullets literally.
"Oh… Just slip in her… HOMEWORK! Yeah, that's right. She dropped it while going to girl bathroom" I nervously said and giggled at last part. Roxy was a little bit confused but shrugged and finally went to somewhere as I managed to slip in the ticket with my one hand behind my back.
"Mission accomplished" As I was about to leave, April was right in front of me making me spook a little which also made her spook dropping her books.
"Let me get that" I quickly knelt down picking her books as she did the same.
"I can pick those books up on my own, you know" She sarcastically said as I chuckled a bit while picking up her books. We stood up after finishing picking up as I grabbed one of her books from her stack of books and decided to read it, which she didn't mind. Halfway through the book, I only saw some sort of instruction on how to dance? I closed the book and read the title before she yanked it from me as I crossed my arms and smirked at her.
""How To Dance Like A Professional", eh?" I jokingly asked as she nervously giggled about it.
"You got me. I was intended to buy the ticket and show off my dance moves at the prom" She nervously said as I smiled at her.
"You can show it after we done watching" I said as she happily grinned again.
"Cool… Now if you would, I have to return all of this to the library"
"Need any help?" I jokingly asked her as she chuckled and left to the library.
"All according to plan" I proudly said and left to somewhere. First step of my plan completed. Now I all had to do was to wait for prom night.
April's POV
As I went back to my locker room after returning all the books to the library, I opened the locker to see some soft of note or something. I picked up the note and read it as I squealed in delight to see it was the ticket to the prom night. But eventually I got curious to who could buy the ticket for me. I thought up all the possibilities beside Dyson and I couldn't draw any conclusions from what I had known.
"Are you going to the prom?" Someone spoke up as I turned around to see Troy was standing beside me.
"Yes, I am" I happily answered as he smiled and left to somewhere.
"We will pick you up at 6AM. Sound good?" He turned around and asked me as I nodded in agreement. He gave a thumb up and finally left.
"This going to be a great prom night"
-At Prom Night-
"April dear, your friends come to pick you up"
"Coming mom" I looked at the mirror again to see if I was missing something. I wore a white dress ended by my knees with a lovely bow tied behind my back, two skull earrings given by Dyson when we were at Horror Ills and a handmade necklace by Dyson himself. I styled my hair with some strand of hair curled up and tied up in a bun. After putting some makeup on, I grabbed my purse and went downstairs.
"You look beautiful tonight, dear" My mom complimented me as I put on my high heels.
"Thanks mom" I thanked her and waved at her as I exited out the house. As I came up to Troy's car, the gang whistled in amazement.
"Girl, you look beautiful" Roxy complimented me as I got in the car and sat in the backseat.
"Where's Dyson anyway?" Susan asked me as I shrugged.
"Are you sure that Dyson don't want to come?" Jarred asked as I just simply nodded which raised a few eyebrows.
"Just forget about him. Whether he's going or not is his choice" Troy spoke up as we all agreed on what he had said and finally left to the prom.
Dyson's POV
As Troy's car finally left April's house, I could start my next phase of the plan which conveniently happened right now. I took out my phone and answered the call.
"Is everything in place?" I asked my buddy Lawrence, who just happened another victim of Chris's bragging and so I offered my help to him to ruin Chris's best night.
"Just as you said" He said as I devilishly smiled.
"Thanks man. Anyway, gotta go" I said as I started the bike.
"Need any distractions?"
"As much as possible" I said and hung up as I rode off to the prom night. All was working well so far, the only thing needed to be done was at the prom.
April's POV
We arrived at school as me, George, Jarred, Susan and Roxy got out of the car and waited for Troy while he was searching for a parking space. While we were waiting, I suspiciously looked at someone wearing a similar grey hood just like Dyson did. But it turned out to be some emo girl wearing a grey hooded jacket walking by.
"Let's go gang" Troy spoke up and led the way as we followed behind. We arrived at the prom and my first impression was wow. The gym was full of students enjoying the prom.
"THIS PROM IS OFF THE HOOD!" Some guy shouted as Susan, Roxy and Troy boogied down on the dance floor while George and Jarred enjoyed eating at the punch table.
"Enjoy the view, Red?" Someone with very familiar voice spoke up as I quickly turned and was surprised to see it was Dyson! He was wearing a tuxedo with black bowtie and also a black hood. I crossed my arms and smirked at him.
"I thought you didn't want to go to prom"
"Nah, I'm just bored… Anyway, shall we?" He held out his hand as I gladly accepted and we off to boogied down on the dance floor. The prom was just too great to be true but while I was dancing with Dyson, I saw neither Chris nor Blaineley was here. But who cared about them, they just ruined the best prom night the school had ever had. Suddenly someone came up to us while carrying a bucket?
"Yo Dyson. Where do you want this bucket of slime on?" He asked as Dyson pointed to the stage where king and queen of the prom would be pronounced. But wait, bucket of slime?
"Okay forks, please pick your dance partner and we will begin dancing in a minute" The DJ spoke up as everyone began pairing off including Roxy, Susan, Troy, George and Jarred until we were all alone.
"You said you wanted to show off your dance moves, didn't you?" He said and held out his hand as I gladly accepted and held it high. The way he held my hand made me remember the day we embarrassingly held our hand in the art class. We wrapped our arm around our shoulder and looked into each other's eyes albeit Dyson's eyes had been hidden under his hood.
"Alright forks, lets dance to the rhythm of smooth jazz" The DJ played the music and we began to dance to the rhythm of the music. We just swayed back and forth and did some tango dance moves and I had to admit that he was a pretty good dancer. While we were dancing, everyone around us stopped dancing to watch us dancing. But of course, I couldn't see what they were doing because I just kept on looking at his eyes, and so I was just assuming.
"Do you enjoy the prom night?" He asked me breaking the silence as I pulled him closer and rested my head on his chest. He moved his hand down to my waist and gently hugged me as I felt the warmth and gentleness from him. Then there was this feeling that was slowly glowing inside of me as if telling me he was the one I had been finding.
"This is kinda awkward I would say" He spoke up as we broke apart and I looked at him before it happened…
Dyson's POV
"This is kinda awkward I would say" I spoke up as we broke apart so that she could look at me. We had been dancing for how long I didn't keep track of but I didn't mind it because I was having the most wonderful night I had ever had for two years. Suddenly someone slammed the door opened made me spook and trip. Consequently, I dragged her down along with me and we both fell on the floor together. I looked at her as she wrapped around my neck and had her eyes closed. She opened her eyes and looked at me as she blushed and smiled at me just like the day we accidentally kissed. We both chuckled because of our silliness but we soon turned to see who was the one slammed the door open as I smirked at 'them'.
"What's the matter? Just lost your car in the lake or did someone crashed your car, McLean?" I asked him as he and Blaineley were breathing heavily and messed up from possibly walking.
"Someone… crashed… my… car" He faintly said and then passed out sleeping on the floor along with Blaineley as everyone continued what they were doing.
"What did you do to them?" She jokingly asked me as she got up and helped me get up.
"Lets go outside for now" I grabbed her hand and quickly dragged her to outside.
April's POV
Once we got out of the gym, he led me to this beautiful gazebo and stood next to it was a beautiful fountain. We stood inside the gazebo watching the beautiful night with tiny stars shining through the darkness.
"Isn't it beautiful?"
"Yep, it is… I got something to tell you, April" He said as I turned to look at him.
"Is this about Chris and Blaineley?" I jokingly asked him and chuckled but then I stopped as he frowned at me.
"I'm serious… About our relationship" He seriously said and turned away as I came closer and turned his head around with my hand so that he could look at me with displease.
"I'm sorry" I apologized to him as he smiled at me and motioned me to sit down with him.
"So what's wrong about our friendship?" I asked him as he sighed.
"Remember the night we accidentally kissed?"
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Did you feel something inside you? Because I haven't felt like that for two years" He said as I raised my eyebrow but I eventually began to understand what he meant.
"Ever since that kiss, I have been thinking about our relationship and I started to think that we were more than friend"
"Of course, we were more than friend. We are best friend" I said as he suddenly pulled me in closer to me. He then wrapped his arm around my waist and touched my cheek as I shockingly stared at him and he stared me back.
"We were more than best friend… This feeling burning inside me… I just couldn't erase it away and I wanted to confess to you about my true feeling but I didn't have courage to do it because I was afraid how you would react…" I said while sobbing? I gently touched his cheek and ran my hand back and forth along his back to comfort him and ease up his sorrow as he relievedly smiled at me and stopped sobbing.
"Don't worry, Dyson. I'm your friend and I can't stay mad at you whenever you say and confess to me about your feeling. You can trust me because I always and will always be your best friend" I said to him as he happily grinned at me.
"Now, what is it you want to tell to me?" I asked him as he bit his lip and gulped down.
"April… I-I-I…" He stuttered as my eyes widened and braced myself for what he might say.
"I love you, April" He kissed me and hugged me tight as I shed my tear and kissed him back. He said it, he really said he loved me as inside was firing fireworks and exploded in delight and happiness. The kiss was similar to the previous one but this was more passionate and gentle that we quickly melted into it. We eventually fell on the floor with me on top of him; he wrapped his arm around my waist and held my head as I held his head by my two hands. We continued kissing passionately until we broke apart and looked into each other's eyes.
"I love you too, Dyson" I said as he smiled happily but someone squealed made us spook and turned to see who it was. We got up and checked around until I noticed a familiar blonde hair sticking out from the other side of the fountain. I elbowed Dyson as he turned around and looked at my direction.
"We can see you from here, George" I called out for him as Dyson and me quietly laughed while listening to their conversation.
"I think they spotted us" George spoke up.
"W-WHAT?! How could they spot us?" Susan was surprised.
"Well, you can blame Roxy for squealing" Jarred blamed it on Roxy's squealing.
"Hey!" Roxy yelled at him.
"Calm down guys. Let me check" And finally Troy said as he got up and face-palmed.
"George! It was your hair that got us spotted" Troy yelled at him as the gang already stood up and glared at him. He poked up slowly and blamed it on his mom.
"It was my mom who styled my hair" We laughed and came up to them as they turned around, smiled as us
"Sorry for spying on you" Roxy apologized.
"Apology accepted" Dyson said as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I held his hand. George whistled as the others smirked at us.
"I can't believe that you two would eventually become a couple" Jarred said in astonishment and surprise as the rest of the gang nodded in agreement. I turned to look at him and asked him.
"Did you do all this just to say you loved me?"
"You are half right" He said which raised a few eyebrows among us as he chuckled a bit.
"Let's get inside" He said as we and the gang went back to the prom. We made it back to the prom just in time for announcement of Prom King and Queen but we including everyone in here knew who they were.
"And the king and queen are… Chris McLean and Blaineley" As the host announced their name, they proudly grinned and walked to the stage as us looked blankly at them and clapped in sarcasms. They got to the stage and were crowned king and queen as I noticed someone above them holding a similar bucket.
"Here it comes" Dyson whispered to me and winked at someone as I followed his eyesight to the guy above Chris and Blaineley. He winked back at Dyson and gave the other guy on the stage a thumb up.
"What's going on?" I asked him as he devilishly smiled.
"This will be Chris's most humiliating night… DROP IT NOW!" He shouted which made everyone inlcuding the gang spook but except for the two guys. One guy on the stage stepped away from Chris and Blaineley, who were confusing about something, as the other guy and another guy beside him poured the buckets of slime on top of them. The slime splashed down on Chris and Blaineley as they drenched in slime. Everyone including us and the gang burst out laughing hysterically at them and yelled at them.
"Take that McLean! For torturing us with your bragging"
"You suck, McLean"
"We have more fun than you two are here"
"Come on. Let's get out of here" Dyson grabbed my arm and dragged me through the crowd while I was still laughing.
"See you later Blaineley. YOU BITCH!" I shouted at Blaineley as she was immediately ticked off.
"See you later, McSlimer!" He jokingly shouted at Chris as he was also ticked off by him, while we were going through the crowd and laughing together.
"This is the best night of my life" I shouted as we suddenly stopped in the middle of the crowd. He spun me around and hugged me as I hugged him back and smiled at him.
"Totally" He said and kissed me as I kissed him back with equal passion. We broke apart and watched everyone's including Chris's and Blaineley's reaction when they saw us kissed. This was one of the best nights of my night. No… The best night of our life.
