FIFTEEN!

(holy crap thank you guys so so so much for 100k reads?? i'm actually so in shock?! i've never really written a book and published it so this actually means so much to me!! i'm so glad you guys are enjoying the story!)

evies pov:
today is the day! i'm so excited for the deb ball. i haven't let jeremiah see my dress yet since i want to surprise him.

the ball is in a few hours and i'm super excited. it starts at around 7:30 and it's currently 4:15. i plan to start getting ready around 5 so i'm just hanging out to waste time.

"bellyyyyy" i groan

"what evieeee" she says

i roll over in the bed and face her. "can we make one of those transition tiktoks" i ask

"YES OMG LETS DO IT"

we fix our hair and start the tiktok. we redo it like 20 times but eventually get one we like. "okay go shower and i'll shower after you" i say saving the tiktok to my drafts so i can finish it later.

after my shower i do my hair and curl it. as i curl it i see my mom come up from behind me in the mirror.

"you look so gorgeous evie" she smiles

"thank you mom!" i say

"i wanted to give you this" she says putting a small box down on the vanity. i open it and see a small necklace with a star on it. "it's so pretty! thank you mom" i say turning around to hug her

"it was mine from when i was your age. i gave belly my old earrings"

"it's gorgeous thank you mom!!"

i hear someone else knock on my door after my mom leaves.

"it's jere, can i come in?"

"no!! you're gonna see my dress that's hanging up, i don't want you to see it yet!!!"

"pretty pleaseeee"

"no baby. go get ready too"

"ugh you're no fun"

...

i put my dress into the car and we drive to the club. belly and i go into the back and get into our dresses with the other girls.

"you guys look so good!" shayla says

"thank you shayla! you look great too!" i say

"alright ladies it's start time!" paige says

we all line up on the stage and as the ladies are being introduced i see jeremiah standing in his tux across the stage. he winks at me and i blush.

"isabel conklin!" belly walks out onto the stage and i smile. she looks so pretty.

"evelyn conklin!" the announcer says

here we go

i slowly walk out and link arms with jeremiah. "evie you look so beautiful" he whispers in my ear

"you don't look so bad yourself" i whisper

after we walk down the stairs we walk over to the table with the parents. i'm sucked into a conversation with my mom and susannah when i notice jeremiah's gone.

"umm where's jeremiah?" i say nervously

"i'm not sure... connie where's your brother?" susannah says

"i don't know" he says

i feel my heart start to race.

cmon jere where are you
