Chapter 40 - Lights Out!

Recap:
"Hey beautiful, take a picture with me," a familiar voice says from behind. When I turn around I see Chris in an all black suit with a vibrant red bow tie and corsage. The same one matching mine. Lexi...
Prom Evening: T-Minus 3 Hours

I look over his shoulder to see Lexi jumping up and down holding two thumbs up. If she knows what he did, why is she encouraging this? I knew the escape room was a set up. I mean we worked really well together.

"Sure," I agree, walking towards the lake. I don't know if I'm agreeing because I miss this or because it might be the last time.

After standing poses, titanic poses, funny poses and a million others including Chris kissing my cheek pose you'd think we'd be done by now.

"Kiss me," Chris whispers.

"W-what," I stutter.

"I said kiss me," he repeats.

"I'm wearing lip gloss," I point out.

"Doesn't bother me," he answers. I mean what's a harmless kiss, he did buy me the dress, jewelry, shoes. The least I can do is kiss him, I know I didn't ask for it but I wouldn't have a prom without him.

I take my left hand and wrap it around his neck before slowly pulling him closer, keeping eye contact. I close my eyes right before contact and feel the light pressure of his hands wrapping around my waist. I shouldn't be doing this should I? One Mississippi, two Mississippi, three Mississippi, I count before slowly pulling away.

"Hey Nick pictures," I shout walking away from Chris and towards Nick. Let's just say I'm not good with awkwardness.

Prom Night: T-minus 2 hours

After dancing for a while with the girls a slow song came on so I sat alone at the table. Damn sucks being lonely. This was not how I imagined my prom.

"Wanna dance?" Adam asks, coming out of nowhere.

"No," I simply state before returning to my punch. It's kind of gross but I rather drink it than talk to Adam. I've been thinking about it and I think I may have given him the wrong idea or led him on.

"Why, I've been nice to you this entire time and you won't even dance with me," he sighs.

"Adam were exes, that's all we will be and ever be. I don't know what your intentions are but I don't even want to be friends with you," I snap. I'm a little tense right now.

"You know what," he seethes.

"What?" A voice says but it wasn't mine. It's Chris' from behind me.

"Move along Adam," Chris orders. Adam eyes flicker between mine and Chris' before he decides to leave.

"Storm talk to me," Chris says sitting beside me.

"I am, have been. Why should I even," I reply.

"Be-"

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! It is now time to announce our prom King and Queen," the president of the student council announces on stage.

"King and Queen time!" Lexi squeals running over to me.

"It's gonna be Chris," JJ guesses.

"Doubt it, I didn't even volunteer," Chris retorts.

"Yeah but you got nominated, so did Storm," Nick explains. I got nominated, since when?

"Quiet, they're announcing me," Lexi shushes.

"For our prom Ki-"

"Stop, I have an announcement to make first," Sam announces running up on stage.
