Eve's POV
I sat in the bathroom , against the wall crying , as my best friends surrounded me.
"What did that asshole do to you?" Maria came charging in.
"He broke up with me , for Maryse!"
"What do you mean for Maryse?" Maria sat next to me.
"He asked her to prom and everything already."
"Awwh , honey, i'll show that bitch who's boss. But you ARE going to prom. School's over , so we will take you dress shopping. Right now." She picked me up by my arm. She wiped my face off , and took me dress shopping. They all sat in the dressing room while Maria , brought the dresses to me. The one I got , was a violet dress That was a long silk one . It went down to my calves. I got silver high heels, that wrapped around my ankle. We came home and I hung my dress up in my closet , and put my shoes on the bottom of my closet. I went next door to Alex's house. I knocked on the door. My stomache dropped. I got really nervous . Finally , Mrs. Riley answered the door.
"Eve! It's been awhile , you here to see Alex?" I smiled , then nodded. "He's in his room , go on up ." She smiled and went back into the kitchen. I walked up the steps , and down the hall to the room that had a sign that said 'A-Ry' on it. I knocked on his door.
"Come in!" I opened the door and walked in ." Eve!"
"Hi Alex..."
"Uhmm, sit down."He moved over on his bed for me to sit down . I sat down next to him . " I heard about you and Mike , I'm really sorry." I started to tear up again. I began crying as hard as I could . Alex put his arms around me and hugged me. I hugged him back , and just cried. Awkwardly , I really started to like Alex , more then a friend. It's like this whole time I've loved him.
"Eve don't cry . He doesn't realize what he lost." Alex rubbed my back.
"I should've listened to you! You said you had a bad feeling about him!"
"No , it's fine you didn't know !"
Alex's POV I had a little ring box , in my dresser this whole year , that had 'Prom ?' on a little note , this whole year , waiting to give it to Eve. For now , screw Maria's plan . I was gonna go my own way . I layed her down on my bed and went over to my dresser . I pulled out the box and kept it behind my back.
I got down in front of her .
"Alex , what are you doing." I pulled the box out and opened it. Eve looked at it and smiled big.
"Yes!" I stood up and she jumped onto me , and hugged me. I hugged her back.
"I'm glad you said yes."
"I'm glad you asked." She smiled . But again, it was only prom , we weren't officially together. But you know I could always change that.
"Well , since we're going to prom , do you want to..." Eve looked at me
"Go out?" I nodded. "Well I kind of already have a guy in mind. He's cute,smart,funny." Did she mean me? She came closer to me an kissed me.
"So I'll take that as a yes?"
"Yes. And well at the beginning of the year, your mom told me , that all the years i've been gone you would always talk about me, and how the day I came back you said I was beautiful." Damnit mom . That was information that wasn't supposed to be known by anyone else.
"Yeahh , but I know that's dumb."
"No, I think it's sweet." Finally after nine years, she's finally mine. And on top of that , we're going to prom together. I sat down on my bed and held my hand out. She grabbed my hand and sat next to me. We sat together for a couple minutes, and then my phone rang. It was Mike.
