Confession, I almost forgot to upload this. You will too if you were five minutes late to your hair and nail appointment.
You're all lucky that my phone reminded me that I should click the completed button for this story. I have a lot of things to say at the end of this story so please stick around till you read the author's note at the very end.
Thank you for all the people who was patient with me during the times of writer's block, traveling days and just plain old laziness.
I know I made some of you laugh, cry and look like a madman while staring at the screen of your computer or phone.
I forgot to mention where I got the way Kendall proposed. It was from the anime Amagami SS; gotta let my inner otaku shine some point.

Prom. It's one word but it's something s important to all of the seniors around the country.
In a week, Woodside Academy would be holding their own prom and the boys are on the tails of the girls they want to dance the night away with. They were ordering flowers from the floral shop located at the town nearby and some even drove out to buy a special gift for their special someone.
Imagine the stress of our favorite blonde boy who was currently laid faced down on his bed, stuck out of ideas on how to ask the school's most popular girl.
His best friend on the other hand was all fancied up and was holding a big bouquet of daisies in his right hand and a box of chocolates on the left. Camille made it pretty clear that she hates grandiose presentation and as long as Logan was doing it from the heart, she will love it.
"I'm out, buddy," Logan said, walking to the door. Kendall only released a grunt in response and with a shrug, the raven haired boy was out of the dorm he shared with his best friend.
When he heard the door closed, Kendall shot up from his bed and started pacing back and forth. He wants to woo Jo and sweep her off her feet. He wants to make it clear to all her suitors that she was his. She deserves the best and only the best.
While he contemplates on his problem, back at the girl's dorm was a very distraught Jo and Camille who had their room filled with flowers and prom invites. Varieties of flowers sat everywhere; their bed, on top of their cabinets, under the sofa and they even had some hanging on the kitchen counter.
"What are we going to do," Jo sighed as she threw another card asking her to prom in the trash bin. Speaking of the trash bin, it was already overflowing and neither of them had the guts to go out the safety of their dorm to take out the trash.
They were feeling a little guilty if they just threw out the flowers because as much as they were peeved about their suitors, they knew that they spent a huge amount on the flowers sent for them.
A knock on the door was there and they both groaned in frustration, "Another one?" Camille said with frustration evident in her voice. She walked to the door and opened it, the stress and annoyance that were once flowing through her body melted away at the sight of the raven haired boy standing in front of her.
"Hi," he said before kneeling down on one knee and showing the bouquet along with the chocolates to her direction. Her grin widened before he started to speak, "Camille Roberts, will you go with me to the prom?"
She nodded her head vigorously before accepting his gifts and jumping into his arms. Jo emerged from inside the dorm and smiled at the sight of her best friend in the arms of Logan.
"Hey Logan," Jo greeted casually and he only nodded in acknowledgement. The guy was really whipped.
When the two lovebirds pulled away from each other, Jo was feeling slightly jealous. Not because she liked Logan or anything but Camille already has a date and she doesn't have on yet.
"I think you girls are busy," he chuckled when he saw a glimpse of the messy dorm, "I'll see you later," he said before pecking Camille on the cheek and turning to leave down the hall.
"Isn't he the sweetest?" Camille sighed dreamily and Jo couldn't help but laugh at her when she's in la la land with Logan.
To help snap her best friend back to reality, Jo chucked pillow at her direction which hit her square on the face. Camille threw the pillow back with a huff and reached for another before shooting it in the trash bin.
Back to the boys' side, Kendall resorted to unoriginal ideas the he could find while browsing the internet. The door swung open to reveal Logan who was grinning ear to ear.
"She said yes!" he cheered when he entered and slammed the door shut behind him. Kendall chuckled as he spun his chair to face him.
"Now you need to help me think a way to ask out Jo," he said and Logan nodded before sitting on the bed which was across the room from Kendall but he was still facing him.
For the next two hours, the pair kept throwing ideas at each other and one will reject the idea while the other will throw an insult.
Claiming he was already tired, Logan fell on his covers and tucked himself in. Kendall also agreed for it was already dark outside so he changed into his pajamas and snuggled into his pillows after closing the lights.
Sleep didn't come into his senses quickly so he only got about two hours of rest. The first thing he did was take a very cold shower to wake him up. He then proceeded to make himself a cup of coffee, knowing that caffeine is something his body is practically screaming for.
When he drank from his cup, realization quickly hit him. He grinned at the cup of coffee before he ran up to Logan's bed and shook him awake, "Logie, wake up!"
Logan groaned but opened his eyes nonetheless, "What?" he asked irritably before Kendall flashed him a victorious look, "I know how to ask Jo to the prom."
...
Jo yawned as she got out bed when the vigorous knocking on the door won't stop. She swung the door opened to reveal Kendall and a steaming cup of starbucks coffee.
She looked at him weirdly as he shoved the coffee to her along with another box. She accepted it but the curious look on her face didn't faltered, "Should I ask?"
"Nope," he replied, shaking his head before walking down the hall then out of view. Jo looked down at the coffee and sighed before closing the door.
Thinking she didn't want to waste some good coffee, she took a sip and the hot beverage ran down her throat.
She saw something writing at the side and giggled when she saw the words written with a black sharpie.
Remember our first meeting?
It was still fresh in her memory, she spilled coffee all over his shirt and he made a deal that he'll forgive her if she becomes his friend. Maybe she owed everything to coffee.
She placed down the coffee on the table and took the box. She lifted the top up and she cracked a smile as she pulled out the white shirt. The coffee stain was still there but what made her day were the words written at the back part.
Prom?
She sprinted to her bedside table and grabbed her phone that was on top of it. She scrolled through the contacts until her eyes fell on the blonde boy's name.
Jo stepped in front of the mirror and smiled at what she saw. She chose a beautiful aquamarine dress that was elegant yet playful at the same time.
It hugged her upper body and flowed freely from waist down. It had a high low skirt where there were enough ruffles to make the dress look complicated though it wasn't too much to grab so much attention.
On her feet was simple high heeled sandals and her only jewelry was a pair of silver earrings and a silver necklace. Her hair was curled then was placed in a half bun style which was all thanks to Camille's expertise with a curling iron.
"They're here!" Camille exclaimed when three knocks on the door erupted. Jo stood up from where she was sitting in front of the vanity and smoothed out her dress. She walked to Camille's side as the brunette made the move to open the door.
Kendall and Logan stood there, each holding a corsage to give to their dates. It was clearly obvious that they had coordinated because Kendall was wearing a slim aquamarine tie while Logan had a red bow tie on to match with Camille's red dress.
"Shall we go?" Logan asked, offering his arm to Camille after tying the corsage around her wrist. His date nodded and the both of them walked out of the dorm.
"You look beautiful," Kendall breathed causing Jo to get a humble blush, "Thank you," she murmured.
He smiled and tied the corsage around her wrist and offered his arm, "Let's go milady," he said in a ridiculous accent causing Jo to giggle.
She laced her arm with his and the two of them walked together. Couples were also walking in and out of the dorms. When they reached the gym, the music was blaring and people were already on the dance floor.
Kendall handed her a glass of punch which she gladly took, "I must say, you have an unusual way of asking a girl out," she chuckled.
He only shrugged, "Well, I'm asking out an unusual girl," he teased, nudging her shoulder slightly.
Kendall pulled out a chair for her and she sat on it before he pushed it. He moved to sit on chair next to her, "Kendall," she said softly to call his attention, "Why do you like me?"
The said boy looked up from his flute and thought for a moment. It was no secret to Jo that she was popular to the boys but she was thinking that maybe Kendall was different.
"Other than you're extremely beautiful," he started though her expression didn't falter; that compliment was already common, "You have a great personality. Like how you trust no one except for your friends or how your eyes sparkle when you see something you like."
"And it's obvious you have a wall around you," he explained causing her features to soften, "You're scared that you'll be hurt again and I guess I want to be that guy who wants to knock down that wall. I want to be the reason why you'll smile."
She knew it, he was different. Most guys she asked was because she was pretty, no more and no less. She leaned in and placed a kiss on his cheek, "I hope you won't give up," she whispered.
Jo doesn't want him to stop courting her. She have faith in Kendall that he will finally be the one who'll make her take the risk of falling in love once again. Ever since Jett broke her heart, she wants nothing to do with dating and love.
Kendall lifted his finger and felt the area where her lips met his for a brief moment. His skin was tingling and even though it was only his cheek, he felt like he was on cloud nine.
Suddenly, he stood up and Jo gave him a curious look, "I'll be right back," he whispered before he ran to the DJ booth. Few moments later, he came back and held a hand for her, "May I have this dance?"
On perfect timing, Gentleman by Cody Simpson started playing and Jo smiled.
He took her hand and led her to the dance floor. He placed his hands on her waist while Jo laced her arms around his neck.
If you ever need to cry
I'll wipe the tears right from your eyes
Oh yes, I will
If you can't fall asleep at night
I'll sing to you a lullaby
Oh yes, I will
He chose this song for their dance because it practically says that a guy would do anything for his girl and Kendall would do everything for Jo.
Can I be your gentleman?
I'll be as gentle as I can
Girl, what will it take?
To be your gentleman
To be your gentleman
I swear I'll be the luckiest man
If I can be your gentleman
He'll surely be the luckiest man if he was her gentleman. If he was given the honor to do everything for her in exchange for her beautiful smile.
He leaned down and pressed his forehead against, "Can I be your gentleman?"
She smiled but blushed nonetheless, "Yes."
Gaaaah, it's done! A year of this story shall end today, please hand me the tissues. I'm giving you all virtual hugs; now go on and hug your monitors right now.
Like I said before, I'm moving my works to wattpad and my username there would be yourstrulytrina. Since I'm in love with this story, I'm actually editing a video for this with the song Gentleman by Cody Simpson (no surprise there). It would be up on my youtube channel soon so wait for that.
One more thing, somebody private messaged me the other day asking what are some tips I have for those who are just starting out. I'm no expert but these are what the best I can say:
1. Don't give up. Don't be disheartened when you found out that your first story got little to no reviews. It's normal, my first story only got one review on its first month and it was just somebody who was advertising their story. Keep writing and you'll soon find yourself having a generous amount of loyal readers.
2. Read other people's work. As you noticed, my writing style constantly change and that's because I pick up other people's writing style. I get a little ideas when I read other people's stories and I'm not saying this to you so you could steal their ideas. Don't do that. Don't be afraid to review other people's works too. Confession, I creep on the people who reviews my stories so you might never know that I read your story. When you review, you'll peak people's curiosity and they'll go to your profile and read some stories.
3. Make friends. If you have friends, they'll probably promote your stories to their readers plus you'll receive a little motivation from them like I had with my own bestie.
4. Don't be afraid to express your imagination. We're all have a guilty pleasure for cliche's but seriously, don't be scared to do a sudden twist in your story. I probably had your heads spinning when I had Jett kidnap our favorite blondes, didn't I. It was a major plot twist but it attracted more readers.
5. Ignore those haters. Take people's opinions because it will make you a better writer but if somebody starts bashing like, "I hate this story and blah blah blah..." don't even fight with them. Delete the review and walk away, don't look back.
Those are just some pointers and by the way, that person who said that this story was pathetic because there was no Logan and Camille kissed, you should please keep quiet. This is a Jendall story, I just sprinkled a little bit of Lomille and seriously, you don't need a kiss on the lips to be sweet. He got the girl and for me, it's adorable to have innocent love.
Bye guys, I'll see you on my next story when I decide to make one.
