Randy and Chevonne walked into the school after riding to school together. It was Chevonne's first day back after having been sick. She was still taking medicine but felt well enough to return to school.
"Chevonne, oh you look so much better." Naomi hugged her.
"Thank you, I feel better. I had some great sexy men taking care of me." She winked.
"Yeah, Bob Orton is foxy for his age." Brandi chuckled.
"Very funny." Randy rolled his eyes.
"Well I am glad to have her back." Roman wrapped his arm around her and kissed her forehead.
"Hey Roman." She smiled at him and he quickly kissed her.
"We're signing up for the prom committee. They have a sign-up sheet and the first meeting is today after school." Kristin said.
"Sounds fun. Have they picked a prom theme yet?" Chevonne asked.
"Yeah, Coach Richter announced the theme is 'Take My Breath Away'. So you know they are gonna be playing that song a dozen times." Naomi said.
"Sounds romantic even if that movie was dumb as hell." Chevonne said.
"You are the only woman I know that doesn't like Tom Cruise." Brandi rolled her eyes.
"He is short and overrated." Chevonne said.
"Just don't let anyone plan anything too cheesy. When Dustin went to his prom they had this stupid picture backdrop of trees and flowers." Cody said.
"I wouldn't worry. Coach Richter has good taste." Kristin said.
"And none of those goofy big wicker chairs." Jey said.
"Why don't you guys join the prom committee?" Chevonne asked.
"Two reasons. One it's for girls...and guys that are desperate and trying to meet girls. And two…we have baseball practice." Jimmy said.
"And I don't really see myself blowing up balloons and decorating signs." Roman said.
"We better get to homeroom. But I will be sure to sign up." Chevonne said. She kissed Roman's cheek and hurried to class.
(3pm)
The girls walked into the all-purpose room for the prom committee meeting after showering and dressing at the end of gym. They sat together at a table, noticing some of the other students at tables.
"Ah, my last period ladies." Coach Richter walked over to their table. "I got some students from the art club handling designing the posters and tickets. I was hoping you girls would be willing to come up with some decoration ideas and look through some catalogs for what we can order."
"Sure thing, Coach." Naomi said.
"You ladies have good taste and being seniors I know you want things to look nice." Richter said as she handed them some catalogs. "And you'll all be attending I'm sure."
"Have you picked out the prom colors yet?" Chevonne asked.
"Blue, black and silver. And the good news is we have a great budget this year so we can splurge a bit." Richter smiled. "I'll leave you ladies to it. I need to check on the art club and their drawings."
The girls began flipping through the catalogs. They each had ideas of how they wanted the prom to look.
"How about silver lettering to spell out the prom theme?" Chevonne said.
"That would look great and I think we should have it spelled out in a few places. Maybe at the entrance, on the stage for the prom court and part of the pictures background." Kristin said.
"I'll write it down and mark the pages for Coach Richter." Chevonne said.
"How about some silver stars hanging down from the ceiling? And some balloons on the dance floor of course, that is always nice." Naomi said.
"What about a carpet as you enter the prom…not a red carpet but still so couples can make a grand entrance?" Brandi said.
"A blue carpet would be nice, wonder if we can find one?" Naomi said.
"This catalog has everything." Brandi said.
"What about one of those balloon archways? The one at homecoming was really nice." Chevonne said.
"Yeah, get one for the entrance way. We probably already have one somewhere. Maybe get another for the pictures background. Put balloons of black, blue and silver on it." Kristin said.
"I like these streamer things for around the tables." Naomi showed the other girls a picture in her catalog.
"Those would be beautiful." Chevonne agreed.
"Do you think we could get them to allow us to hang strings of lights in the gym?" Brandi asked.
"Oh that would be great. And put some lights in the archways with the balloons." Kristin said.
"I knew I put the right girls in charge of decorations. I am hearing some great ideas." Coach Richter walked back over to them.
"Coach will we be allowed to hang strings of lights in the gym?" Kristin asked.
"I am sure some of the male staff would be willing to help with that part of decorating." Richter said before wandering to the next table.
"I am so excited. I think prom is gonna look great." Naomi said.
"And we've all already got dates!" Brandi said.
"We do? Roman hasn't asked me anything about prom." Chevonne said.
"You're his girlfriend. Who else would he take?" Kristin chuckled.
"But some guys don't like prom." Chevonne shrugged.
"If he doesn't take you I will have the twins beat his ass." Naomi winked.
"Do you think Mr. Hart is going to chaperone the prom?" Chevonne asked.
"I hope so. He would look sexy all dressed up for prom." Kristin said.
"I know, he always looks nice at the homecoming dances." Brandi said.
"It should be against the law for a teacher to look that good." Naomi said.
"I dunno, isn't a law that every school has to have one sexy teacher for the girls to swoon over?" Chevonne laughed.
"I wonder what he is like outside of school." Kristin pondered.
"Well is smart and educated so I bet he is never boring." Chevonne said.
"He is an English and Lit teacher so he is probably sensitive and romantic." Brandi said.
"And with those thighs and that ass, you know he's got some power in bed!" Naomi said. The girls looked at her. "What? You see what he looks like on casual Fridays when they let the teachers wear jeans!"
"If he taught PE we'd never get Naomi out of the gym." Chevonne laughed.
"This from the woman that gets the dopiest look on her face when thinking about Roman." Brandi chuckled.
"You know, Roman has some powerful looking thighs and one hell of an ass himself." Naomi said.
"I have heard of guy's being an 'ass man' but Naomi is the first 'ass woman' I ever met." Chevonne laughed. "And look at your own boyfriend."
