Riley's POV

I quickly smoothed out the fabric of my dress as I tilted my head in an attempt to see my bump. I breathed a sigh of relief as I realized that there wasn't one yet. The weasel hadn't popped yet.

Tonight was senior prom. The senior prom that you always dream about as a little girl. The night when you and all your friends rent a limo and wear too tall heels and dance around to music at decibels that could burst your eardrums and squeeze each others hands as you await to see who is going to be crowned prom King and Queen.

Tonight was that night.

Maya and I had gotten ready as we anxiously awaited the arrival of Lucas and Josh, our dates. They were to show up at least thirty minutes early so my mom could finish living her short stint of a dream of being a member of the paparazzi. Then Isadora, Farkle, Zay, and Vanessa were to come to my house so we could all get into the limo. That set us to arrive at the dance exactly fifteen minutes after it started, perfectly late.

I anxiously tugged at the spaghetti straps of my dress and fluffed out my hair as I awaited Lucas's arrival. Maya quickly walked over to me and placed her hands on my shoulders in an attempt to calm me down.

"It'll all be good honey." She said in a calm soothing way as she cracked a smile and opened snapchat so we could take the usual pre-prom selfies.

After that we swiftly walked down into the kitchen where my mom and dad instantly gasped and gushed over our one-night stint of elegance. Of course my mom immediately ordered Maya and I against the wall so that we could take pictures and not long after that the doorbell rang loud and clear across the living room. Maya and I instantly rushed over to open it.

"Hi." I said with a dreamy smile as I came face to face with Lucas. I could feel Josh rush in with the pull of Maya's hand but I didn't care.

"Hey." Said Lucas as he leaned closer.

"Hi." I said before closing the distance and giving him a quick peck.

We quickly waltzed back into the apartment and lined up for the quintessential prom pictures and a couple fun instagram ones of our own.

Soon enough 7:00 rolled around and our four missing comrades cruised in for some brief pictures then the loading of the limo.

"I love you Mom and Dad!" I called as I skipped out of the apartment.

The ride in the limo was short in sweet and we arrived right on time for being fashionably late.

Lucas and I exited last and smoothly walked across the bright red carpet and into the amazingly decorated center where the prom was being held.

I was met by one hundred different images. From the DJ spinning the latest songs to the gourmet food buffet to the couples grinding up against each other as if they were stuck together with super glue, this prom was sure to be interesting.

It passed in the typical manner of sweaty dancing and dehydration. But it was the best.

Then it was the crowning of the prom king and queen. John Adams High School was known for students not campaigning. Meaning that Missy, Sarah, Darby, and I didn't campaign at all. An equal playing field.

Missy and I were favorited as the top two candidates for Queen but since Lucas was nominated and we came together many people thought that I was a shoo-in.

I jut wanted to win to go Cady Heron style and break the crown in a form of saying 'Screw current societal undercurrents'. But I wouldn't. I had to promise my Mom before she let me leave the house.

That's why when the principal announced that all the votes were in and that they were getting ready to crown the King and Queen we all clumped together. My hands tightly squeezed in Maya's and Lucas's hands. It seemed as if the entire school leaned forward as if hearing who won Queen was more important than any of the monthly assemblies the school made us attend.

"And the winner is…" The principal said as he opened the envelope with flourish, "Riley Matthews!" He yelled.

I quickly shook my head in disbelief as a smile crossed my face. I moved forward as the crowd parted and gracefully took the stage.

"I just want to say thank you to all my classmates and my teachers. I honestly don't know why you would vote for my but for those of you who did, thank you!" I said with a laugh as I stared into the sea of students with a loss of words.

"I'm going to stop taking up your time and let them crown the King." I said with an awkward laugh as I stepped to the side to allow the principal to once again take over the microphone.

"And the King is…" He said with a wide smile once he read the name, "Lucas Friar. No surprise there." He said with a chuckle as he allowed Lucas to take over the microphone like I had only minutes earlier.

"I just want to say thank you to everyone who voted for me as well as Riley. Also thank you for letting us turn ourselves into the biggest cliché." He said with an easy smile that I could tell turned up the tempo of nearly all the girls in the large room.

"And thank you to my girlfriend and my friends and everyone that actually takes the time to talk to me versus just assuming my stereo type." He finished with a smile.

We quickly coupled up for a photo and then took the floor for the typical King and Queen dance.

"This is so cliché." I said with a light laugh as I nuzzled my head into his chest,

"Football captain and cheer captain, dating, become prom King and Queen." He said with a chuckle as he rested his chin on top of my head.

"It wouldn't be better any other way." I said with a smile as the dance ended.

"Come here I want to show you something." He said as he led me up the stairs and onto the balcony that showed the views of all of New York City.

I leaned on the rail in awe, "Is this what you wanted to show me?" I asked before turning around. Then my breath caught in my throat.

"Lucas?" I asked.

Sorry, but that's all I'm giving you for now. I have been beyond busy with school so I promise that I will try an update soon but I can only try. Just out of curiosity if you could travel anywhere with a large group of your best friends for a summer where would you go?

Love ya all,

Em
