Chapter 26 swim meet
Aria's pov
Today is Tuesday and Hanna and I are on our way to school. Em has her swim meet and Ali, Hanna and I will be in the stands with her parents like I always am. The only difference is her cheer squad has gone from three to five. it's senior year so our prom is coming up and when Ali came over last night to tell me she is going to ask Em to the prom today, I was so excited. I text Hanna and asked if she was planing on going but she said no, so My excitement didn't last long. I won't lie I really want to go so I'm kind of down about it but I'm not taking no for a Answer. I'm hoping that if I asks her enough times today she will change her mind. I mean there must be a reason why she doesn't want to go right? I'm dying to find out.
Arriving at at school we walked in and Hanna saw me looking at the prom poster. "Hey I know you really want to go, I'm sorry I'll make it up to you I promise". Han it could be fun you know? Hanna smiled "I'm thrilled that you want to go, but prom is not my thing ok". "If you want to go you should". Hanna if your not going then I''m not it will be lame without you. Please just consider it, Em and Ali are going she may not know yet but she is. "Okay fine I will think about it but don't get your hopes up". Yay thank you!
Emily's pov
At 10am I walked into the locker room with my swim bag hanging off my shoulder. I was surprised to see that I was the first to arrive but I didn't think much of it, instead got ready. I could hear the crowed all entering the stands and as I got changed a few more people entered the locker room. Once I was done I grabbed my cap and goggles before heading into the pool with my headphones in. I was met with the familiar smell of chlorine, and I closed my eyes taking in the smell. The pool area was pact but my attention was drawn to someone in particular who grabbed my arm and dragged me behind the stands, when I realised it was Ali I laughed.
"Hey Em sorry to interrupt, Aria told me you have a pre race routine I just wanted to wish you good luck" I smiled. your lucky it was you that interrupt me, I can't talk for long. Ali smiled "I know, maybe I don't wanna talk". You don't ? "Nope I can think of something much better then talking", she says as she wraps her arms around my waste and pulls our bodies closer. When there is no gap between us she reaches up on her tippy topes to connect our lips. I felt myself smiling at the feeling of her lips on mine before walking her toward the wall as she deepened it. When her arms tightened around me I broke the kiss for air, but she didn't break her hold on me. Wow that was some good luck kiss, I say as I try and catch my breath. "Yeah well there might be more where that came from after you win", she says with a grin on her face. "Go show them what you got Emmy I'll see you later". Ali let go of me and started to walk away but I grabbed her arm turning her around to kiss her one last time. Ali is the only one who knows how to calm my nerves but at the same time make me feel as though I am on cloud 9 and I couldn't resist. "Babe go, coach will be mad at me for distracting her favourite swimmer, and I'm already on most teachers bad sides I'd like to avoid hers". I laughed at my girlfriend before turning and heading over to the team, bye Ali.

As I joined Aria, Hanna and Em's parents on the stands I smiled when they passed me my part of the sign. The five of us each had one, the first side saying "go Emily" and the other side was hiding my prom proposal that I was freaking out about. I mean I'm glad her dad's cool with it and all, but what if she doesn't want to go? I'll end up looking like an idiot. Pushing the negative thoughts out of my head I realised I had to do this, I can do this. I sat down taking my place next to Emily's dad and watched as the race began. The first swimmer for Rosewood giving us a good lead. Em was the last of four swimmer to enter the water, apparently because she's the fastest and I can see why. I stood up holding the sign and watched as her body entered the water with ease. The way she swam reminded me of a mermaid. She made it look so easy and her paise was quicker then anyone else's. When Em finally made it to the other end the whole crowd started cheering while the girls pulled her out of the pool and into a hug. Rosewood had won by far, and a large part of that was because of Emily. I saw her smiling as her eyes scanned the crowed looking for us and when her eyes locked on mine, I smiled back at her before counting to three and we all flipped our signs to the other side, revealing "will you go to prom with me"? Em's face beamed when she read it and I saw her nodding her head like crazy as if to say yes. As the crowed and the team exited the pool, I sat down waiting for Em to get changed. She must have been keen to see me, because she was done with in two minutes before practically tackling me in a hug from behind.
Em's pov
Gliding through the water I felt myself touch the edge of the pool, and as I stood up finding my feet the crowed around me went crazy cheering and screaming. I looked up at my team mates with excitement and they pulled me out of the pool into a hug. we won, we actually did It i thought to myself. I scanned the crowed with my eyes looking for the one person that mattered most and when I locked eyes with Ali she smiled back at me with my friends and parents, holding up a go Emily sign. It was cheesy but I loved it, and as I wrapped my towel around myself I looked back up to see the signs had been turned over. my mouth went dry and my smile grew even bigger. is she seriously asking me to prom in front of the whole crowed? I felt myself blush as I nod my head saying yes as best I could, as I new full well I couldn't just run over to her. As soon as we were aloud to go back into the locker room I was in and out as quick as possible. I saw my girlfriend sitting in the stands alone waiting for me so I came up behind her wrapping her in a hug.
I placed a few kiss to her neck and whispered yes I will go to prom In her ear just in case she didn't know my answer. I then pulled her off the stands so she was standing and kissed her sweet lips. She smiled her cute smile before speaking. "Thank god you said yes babe, it would have been a tad awkward if you didn't". I laughed while rolling my eyes, babe there is no one in the world that I'd rather go to prom with then you, I hope you know that. I watched Ali blush, "I feel the same Em". "You were amazing today I had no idea you could swim like that"! I smiled at Ali, she looked so amazed, and while I was grateful it was nothing special. Thank you but really I didn't do anything, Ali's eyes widen "are you kidding me? You swim like a mermaid Emmy, that's some talent you have", trust me I'm not that good babe I'm defiantly no mermaid. "You are to me, in fact I think I just thought of a new nick name for you to add to my collection". I shook my head, your such a dork babe, Ali just laughed not even bothering to deny it. "maybe I am, but I'm your dork". She says all proud of herself and I can't help but to pull her in for a tight hug. Yep your my dork babe I say in agreement, before I kiss the top of her head.
"We better go Em, your dad's waiting out the front for us to say goodbye you don't want him to be late". I nodded before grabbing Ali's hand in mine and heading for the door. When we finally joined the others I said my goodbyes to my dad unsure of when I would be able to see him next, and I was please to know that he was happy that Ali had asked him if it was ok to go to the prom with me. My mum left to take dad to the airport, Hanna and Aria congratulated me before heading of to the lockers and Ali walked me to class. "Bye babe I'll see you at lunch yeah"? Sure have fun love you, I say as I wave and enter the room. Ali smiled "I love you too Em.

I was walking the corridors with Hanna and she insisted we go past my locker before we head to class, even though I didn't need anything. she said that she wanted to borrow my text book as she left hers at home, which doesn't surprise me so I agreed to go. As we got to my locker I noticed Hanna was smiling more then usual and I had no idea what was going on with her. Hey what is up with you today? why are you so happy? "You will see" she says and I let it go for now instead opening my locker. My face lit up at what I saw inside. My books were no longer in there but instead a pink balloon, a note and to barbie dolls. One with blond hair and one with brown who were dressed in dresses with silver and pink love heart confetti Surrounding them.
I looked at Hanna and she just grind back at me clearly proud of the reaction she was getting. when I opened the note and it said will you be my date to the prom? I nearly cried. I jumped on top of her with a death grip, forgetting for a moment that we might not be alone and that only 2 people know we are together, before saying yes like 10 times. Hanna squeezed my hand when people were not looking. "I know you thought I didn't want to go but I do, I actually haven't stopped thinking about it, I only said no because I had already planed this and I wanted to be the one to ask you do you forgive me"? She questioned me and I laughed. Han of course I do I love it thank you, I'm so excited, "me and you both, we really need to get to class though we can talk more about it at lunch". Okay bye Han thanks again, "your welcome shorty your reaction was totally worth it".
Ali's pov
The rest of the school day went by pretty quickly, Hanna and Aria told us at lunch that they would be going to the prom together too and I was happy for them. The four of us all agreed to get ready together and I was looking forward to it a lot. After school Em came back with me to Spencer's and we just hang out. It was good to just be able to relax with her without our friends. "So what colour is your dress babe"? She questioned me and I smiled. I'm not telling you it's a surprise. "babe you have to tell me how am I meant to know what colour corsage to get you"? Umm that won't be necessary Em. "Ali I want to okay you already brought the tickets, it's the lest I can do". Okay fine it's pink, and silver Em laughed "I should have known it's your favourite colour". When you decide what your wearing you have to tell me the colour that way it will be fare. Em sighed as she new I was right, "whatever babe if you insist". Oh I do!
When Emily went home after dinner, she text me good night just as I was getting ready for bed.
Em- Thank you for today Ali you are amazing
