Greyson's
P.O.V.
"Bye Violet," I say
walking up the drive-way.
"See you at Prom!" She squeels getting into Greg's
car. I walk up to her house and ring the door-bell. Clara's
mom opens the door and smiles at me.
"Clara! Greyson is here," she beams. I hear the
clicks of heels above me. I loosen my bowtie and take a deep
gulp. When I first see the flash of pink my breath catches. She
walks down catiously and trips a little and grabs the railing for
support.
"I'm such a loser," she giggles.
"Your so beautiful," I reply. Her dress bounces with
her lightly and when she reaches the bottom she twirls for me. I
grab her hand and kiss the back of it.
"Thanks," she says kissing my cheek. I take out the
clear box in my pocket and open it for her to see. "Oh
Greyson it's gorgeous." I take the corsage out and put
it around her wrist.
"Do you like it?" I ask.
"I love it," she replies. We looks into eachothers eyes
and I resist the urge to kiss her because her mother is standing
right there. We pose for some pictures, most of them consist of
us making the dumbest faces because we're honestly not taking
any of this stuff seriously.
"You ready m'lady?" I ask cheesily. She curtses and
takes my arm as we walk back to my old clunker of a car.
"It's no limo," I say rubbing the back of my neck
as I open the passangers seat.
"It's perfect," she says kissing me gently.
"If you insist," I say, feeling my face go bright red.
She sits down and I walk to the other side of the car. I enter
and take one of her hands in mine as I drive to the
school.
"What if I win?" She asks.
"There's no if Clara. You will. And I guess your going
to walk on that stage and accept it." I answer honestly.
"You know I have to dance with the king right." She
states.
"Yeah I know," I smile. She looks dissapointed.
"But if they try anything funny, I'm taking you
away."
"That's what I wanted to hear," she says
giggling.
"Are you really that nervous Clara?" I ask.
"Yeah, I am." She admits. "What if they like dump
pig's blood on me? Like in Carrie."
"That won't happen baby," I say squeezing her hand
lightly.
"Oh God, I'm just going to enjoy this night and not give
two shxts." She says honestly. I nod and pull up into the
school.
"Time to shine beautiful," I say cupping her cheek.
"I was born to do this," she says
confidently.
