A?N ALRIGHT GUYS, finally we get the prom scene here in this story...mainly cuz prom finnallt happened at my school, and gave me insipiraton...so yeah, enjoy! remember to leave R&Rs please, and enjoy...
Tonight. After I got home from school my dad was help me get ready for prom. Dad always came threw for me and i always had high exceptions for him, but when he brought down one of his suits I almost pucked at the color. A TAN SUIT AND TIE?! Dad im going to prom! He said he was kidding and went back up but I could tell he was a little disapoointed.
He was being such a goofer right now when i needed him serious and it almost made me revaluate my relationship with my dad. I had to get this right because I only had one shot, I was like a baseball guy who had one strike and the bases were loaded with a fast ball headed right for me. After words he came back down with a black one and I put it on. I liked it.
"Haha, hey Fern, what about this one?" He is wearing a tropical bright colored tie all around his head like a ninja band but i just shooke my head nah then showed me another one that had a bunch of candycanes then finally he pulled a fr*cking EMOJI tie... I wanted to say something like "DAD, GET SERIOUs" but I knew that was really his special night too, dad never went to prom as a kid so he wanted to hear all about it later but I was still focussing on the ties and finally settled on a black and shiny one since it was the only black tie he had.
After I got dressed dad took a couple selfies with the phone to show me how it looked. Then I heard a honking outside.I looked at my dad who wiggled his eyebrows and smile at me.
"Haha, take a look at who and how i got to pick you up."
When I looked through the cold window, my hanging jaw almost fell right off! There was a teeth white party limo parked in the driveway and street waiting just for me! There were really cool rims and tinted windows so dark that I couldn't see the driver at all.
I looked back at my dad who was just about to start sobbing; because he had that look on his face that i knew lead to tears. He dropped to his knees and hugged me tightly, crying on my shoulderblades.
THen the back window of the limo rolled down and Ben stuck his head out, "HEY FERN COME ON" he said then he rolled up the window with a button it was automatic - this was a high tech car.. I jumped at the shouting. Dad looked at me and said his final words... "go get em Fern, make me... proud" and his arms dropped away from me. I thought about it and then turnt out the front door. I locked it behind me because I knew my dad wasn't going to do it. He never can lol.
I poened the door and when I looked inside it SHOCKED ME. All my friends were in the back and there was a strobe light. It seemed a little crowded so I thought about getting in front, but when i looked up i saw who was driving. Can you guess who it was? IT WAS MS. BOATRIGHT. She had on a funky neon outfit with big party shades in the shape of the word "porm" and a bright pink wig. She turned around and winked at me.
"Hey Fern, hope you're having a super-cool-a-lishous time! Your prom is going to be "on fleek" as you kids say." I groaned and so did everyone else in the limo, who was Ben, Ralph, Patrick, their girls, and a few of Patrick's new friends and some of their friends came along too which I didn't know wasn't too excited about but they seemed to be having fun so I just went along with it. I looked around for Tony but I guessed that there wasn't enough room, there was only one seat left.
I was going to say something but Ralph slopped me on the back and said "guess we only need one more date and then we're good to go". Oh yeah, Jessica!
We pull up to her house and I elbow my way to the front door. I rang the door bell and held out the flowers i brought. Jessica's dad answered the door surprised.
I was about to speak but I stopped because my voice cracked really bad on the word sir and I was really enbarrassed. He looked at me sternly for what felt like WAY too long but then sighed and let me in. I didn't know what he mean't but it almost put a damper on what might be definitely one of the top five nights i'd have at Jessicas, if it was good enough to go there after tonight.I took off my shoes when i stepped inside because i didn't want to make the floors dirty in there. 'Maybe just maybe if i play my cards right this night would maybe be in my top 3 nights maybe ever!' i thought to myself.
I looked at the dad and said the first words that I have prepared myself for this: "Um hello mister...umm…"
"Please, that was my father's name" was all said. THen, we sat down and a few minutes passed. I noticed and I think we both noticed how similar to each other we were. We locked eyes but it wasn't like he was fighting me with mindgames but he recognized me for what i was and i saw the same in him. It was not a deul, it was mutual respect and I felt like our auras were communicating at a higher plane of conciseness.
For a long second, he almost nodded at me but then we both heard heals coming down stairs.
"Fern? Are you there?" Jessicca said out loud with her tinny voice. It was a pretty sound that i couldn't help but here as a song. From the kitchen, I also heard some strange noises.
Her dress was as black as night, and the parts that were dragging behind her on the ground flowed like a river of water and looked like pools of midnight swirling in the infinity singularity that is our universe. The sparkles on her dress shined as bright as the falling stars, and reflected the magesty of our world. To think such wonderous things could be grasped by me and others who understood that there was more to reality than just gangam style and iphones and bejeweled.
Her hair was good too, it was like rolling waves of sand on the beach. She even had a shell in it.
Her eyes were gray with flex of gold and brown. She smiles at me and it's like my life is on fire.
"Ready to go." She says pulling on her purse and my hand and off the couch and out the door. I made one last look back at her dad, who finally finnished that nod.
We got back in the limosine and Mrs. Boatright straight looked at us in the eye again.
"All right kiddeos, next stop, party city! HOOT HOOT!"
While she made the train noise she also did the fist pump train conductor thing and then did a 360 burnout before speeding off. It left a pretty good donut. On the way, we listened to some great music and Ms. Boatright did a wheelie with the hydrolicks so the limo bounced with the music. It didn't bounce bery much though, she still wanted to get theire on time.
A sick guitar solo came from the radio, Ben started doing air guitar and I helped by playing the air bass. But then I saw Ralph was playing air bass too but he's way better than me so I stopped.
We got to the school and piled out of the car on to the sidewalk. Ms Boatright drove off to return the limo and I saw Tony riding his bike to Prom. He looked really tired and I though one of his tires looked a little flat. One of the guys i didn't know (a/n I think they came from another school?) laughed at Tony beacuase he came alone. Tony didnt really want to hang out with us, he went to open the front door but just then a teacher opened the door from the inside and hit Tony in the face. But the doors were open now so we all went the dancefloor.
As soon as i got in there i be lined for the punch bowl knowing that jessica would be thirsty after such a long drive. Tony cut me in line and i almost was mad but i remembered how sweaty and tired he looked outside so i let him. He pushed past the girls and poured himself a HUGE glass of punch and grabbed a pretty big slice of apple pie as well. He gulped it down in on solid breath but then he looked really sick.
"Guys...I...don't think…"
It sounded like his voice was getting deeper and slower but then he just fell over and pasted out. He spilled his apple pie and then his face landed in it. Behind me, one of the nerds said "he looks like he just blue-screened his life."
Everyone laughed, even I thought it was a bit funny. The teacher standing there said "alright you pranksters, who spiked the punch bowl?" Then, the lunch lady brought out more punch and swapped the bowl as Tony woke up since this always happened at prom.
The lights dimmed and everyone looked at the stage to see who was the DJ. Then a guy walked out who I recognized after some thought because it was my cool math teacher, Mr Armenta! He grabbed the microphone in fingerless gloved hands.
"WASSUP BLUE MEADOWS HIGH!? ARE ALL OF YOU READY TO GET DOWN TONIGHT. I don't care what you kids do out there once the doors close" all the kids wooed at that "but while this prom is going, I want you all to GET LIT!"
I am glad that Mr. Armenta did a cool slang and I new he meant it. As soon as the music started i was turning to Jessica when i noticed that Ralph was getting pulled into the girls room by his date. She was smiling a lot and Ralph looked confused so i wondered if i should go help but then jessica was in my eyes.
Mr. Armenta went behind the turntable and he was so short we can barely see him over it. He started the first song and it was whatever the new katy perry song is/was (a/n don't wanna date the story, gotta make it timeless after all ).
Jessica was really exited when the song came on. "I love this song!"
Ben sudenly spun around, looking very mean.
"How can you listen to this trash? The production is awful, her singing is atrocious, the auto-tune isn't even in key! Katy Perry is the epitome of trash pop, with her plastic voice, plastic smile, and plastic tits. Are you listening to the lyrics? Does she try to be thoughtful at all? You can tell just from her interviews that she's cranking out mindless, artless pop music to generate money from gullible morons who'll just buy her albums and continue to contribute to the downfall of society. You should really listen to some smarter music if you want to actually appreciate the work artists can make of their craft and listen to something that challenges your perspective, bands like System of a Down and Tool. If you want, afterwards, I can give you some of their albums." (a/n my real life friend ben wrote this part for me, thanks ;P)
Jessica was speachless, I guest she never saw it that way, since all she listened to before was bands like 21 pilots (more lke 21 bad songs, lmao). I'm just Ben was there to explain that, he;s way better than me at it. After all, ben explaned it to me before and that why i stopped listening to what the industry wants me to hear and started listening to the bands that ben shows me.
The night went one and Jess and I were dancing to all the songs, Mr. Armenta even took requests so we got to slow dance to my favorite slow song ever, Vermillon Pt. 2 by Slipknot. She was really close and i could almost smell her perfume. My heart is fast.
Later, he started playing faster and heavier songs that everyone sang along with like Prom Queen by lil Wayne and i was really amazed by jessicas fast dancing skills. When Youth of the Nation started up we almost started a mosh but the teachers break it it. She danced for me and i really wished that i could dance too at that moment. All the guys were looking at me and her and they were really jealous of us.
Suddenly, Armenta put on a song that was WAY too fast. I looked to see what other guys were doing but most of them were actually standing back because most of the girls had started dancing together in the middle of the floor looking really hot. They were on the floor moving their butts up and down, I didn't know what they were doing but they were all doing it so I guest it was intentional. The song was getting really fast and i got kinda nervous, so i looked at ben who was headbanging. His ponytale almost hit his date.
"COME ON FERN!" Jessica shouted to me over the music and took my hand, and suddenly i was being yanked around. I thought my arms would come right off! But just as the song was reaching its fastest point, i saw something that chilled my spine..
BANDON. He pushes his way throught the front door and wasn't dreassed for any party i have ever been to. Instead he had a baseball bat in his hand and a look of angry on his face.
He swung hard at the speaker and the music stopped with a loud band. Everyone jumped and looked at where the sound came from, and bandon shouted right at me even though it was so quite that we could have hear him even if he was just talking.
"Hey Gullbird! Come out come out wherever you are...!" Everyone cleared up and we were facing him off while he stood me down.
"Oh my god Badon, what are you doing?/?" said Jessica.
Nick and mike were punching away any guys who started to come up to bandon, even the teachers. Armenta dropped the mike and backed off, hed idn't want any trouble. Bandon grabbed the mike and shouted into it.
"He's the one who stole my prom date and ruined my perfect life!" siad Bandon with blood thirsty eyes. He shouted so loud that he made a small sonic boom.
Then from the back rows TOny came running in, maddened and furious.
"Nobody talks about my best friend like that! Somebody hold me back guys, somebody hold me back!" he shouted while running by
I was so happy that he said i was his best friend that I forgot to hold him back! He ran right up to the bullies Nick and Mike closelined tony and then took turns punching tony until blood came out.I was so made that I finally stepped up to stop Bandon ones and for all! I knew what words I would use and that if i didnt stop him right here and now no one would ever be able to.
"Hey you man don't do that."
Bandon looked up slowly, so angery that his eyes might just have exploded off his head.
"You think your so much better than me, Fern? You think you can take my girl? Well I'm here to take Jess back! She's MY prom date, and when I'm done with you, this'll be your LAST prom!"
Jessica looked unhappy. If my life felt like it was on fire before, I suddenly felt like a fire extingusher. She could destroy moons with her angry glare. I could feel her aura of negative energies. I could tell she has been holding them in for a while so it was good for her to release that power before it overwashed her in the darkness that she was keeping inside.
"Ugh, Bandon, you're such a jerk!"
Ben stepped in, trying to be the median between us.
"Guys, guys, we don't need to resort to violents. Let's not cause a scene. Let's take this outside and settle our scores with a bike race! Whoever wins gets to date Jessica."
Bandon and I locked eyes together and he nodded. "Fine. See you in 5, outside. Come alone and bring your bike."
Nick and Mike finally put Tony down and I sat down next to him. He bled on my suit pants, but they were black so noone saw. "Take… t-take my bike.. fern.. Kick his... Ass…" and then tony fell unconcise again. I stood up and looked at my friends. Jessica looked pretty worried and i didnt want her to date bandon again.
"Be careful…" She said. She stuttered when she was nerviouse.
It was me on Tony's bike verses Bandon on his bike. This would be the clash that would seal jessicas heart and fate forever.
