PROM NIGHT

*

-Rosalind-

Journal,

It's finally Prom day, yay! I'm so nervous though. I know that someone will be expecting me to kiss them; I can just feel it in my bones. Both James and Richard will be there though; which is kinda awkward. I guess some sort of "love triangle" has been going on lately. I think I'm attracted to James more physically, but Richard more emotionally. I have no clue which side will win though. Physically or emotionally? I am not one for drama, but all I know for sure though, is that they both have captured my heart.

I skipped down the glistening black asphalt while singing along to one of my favorite bands, Green Day. Holding my green iPod and purse, I struggled to walk up the stairs. After I reached the last step, I felt sudden relief. I reached for the screen handle and pushed it down with my right hand. I leaned against the opened screen door while searching through my purse for the house key. The key was a dull shade of gold, but shined in the sun light. I put the key into the lock and turned it to the left. The door opened and I entered with my hand in my purse. I pulled the golden-toned key out and closed both doors. My phone rang as I pulled it out of my purse. "James," I exclaimed aloud, followed by nervous laughter. I pushed the keyboard out and opened his message.

Heyy. I am super excited 4 Prom tonight. I can't wait!!! So, I must ask this though, will u be slow dancing with Richard at all?? Jw.

~James

A smile appeared on my face. Every time I heard from him, I would felt all fuzzy inside. He just knew how to bring out the best in me. Then again, Richard does the same thing, except he makes me feel warm like on a perfect Summer's Day. I hit the reply button and started typing.

~Rosalind

I opened a new text message and decided to send Richard one also. He doesn't check his phone much, but I thought I'd try anyway.

Hey, what's up? I can't wait to see you tonight!!! We are so slow dancing to most of the songs. The night is going to be perfect! See ya soon. At least you get to take a limo; fancy man. Love ya.

~Rosalind

I pushed the keyboard in and laid my phone down on the wooden maple table sitting in my kitchen. I dropped my purse on the cold wooden floor. There wasn't much time left to get ready. I had about three hours....
