A Dream Come True (Longer version), chapter 10
We were all ready and piled into her car. On the way there, Heather was saying what a good job she did on me and how cute I looked. But her mother was saying what a good job my parents did because I already looked cute. The whole thing was revolting, but I said thanks and all.
When we were there, we saw Mr. Feldstien. "Holy crap. I thought you said he wasn't going to be here!" I said.
"Uhh... Sorry?" she tried. I sighed. We got out and he just had to take a picture of us, so we just huddled up together and smiled. I swear, I hate pictures. They let us in and we walked into the gym. We were greeted by Ashley, Caroline (The popular one), Kendra, Leaslie and Elise.
"Aww, You look so cute," they all said. I sighed, but then Heather kicked me.
"Thanks!" I said as soon as she did. Racheal then jumped up behind us.
"Hey!" she said. Heather jumped and shrieked. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, shut up!" Heather laughed.
*Twenty minutes later*
We were in the lunchroom, eating pizza and drinking crap-tasting soda. Then a teacher came in. "They'll be announcing the King and Queen any minute now!" he called out.
"Oh, snap, we need to hurry up." I said. Racheal shook her head.
"Don't worry, we have five minutes. We've got plenty of time!"
"Yeah, but we still need to get seats," Heather said, looking over at the doors. I stuffed my three pieces of candy into Racheal's purse.
"Thanks!" I smiled and ran off.
Everyone in the gym was sitting in the bleachers. I looked behind me and saw Heather and Racheal come running up. "Where to?"
"How about over there?" Heather pointer near the top on the left side of the bleachers. We both shrugged and ran over to it. The D.J. came out of his little booth type thing with a microphone.
"I see we're all here now," he said, looking in our direction. "Now, are you ready for your prince everyone?" He called out. All the seventh graders screamed. They announced the Prince and Princess and took a picture of them together. Then they announced the King, "Zach Norman!!" Everyone screamed, even the seventh graders. As he stood up and walked over, he threw his arms in the air.
Everyone laughed and they placed the crown on his head. Tiffany Tinsely was the Queen, which I'm sure everyone was shocked. Everyone hated her, even Zach. They started to play "You And Me" by Life house. "Aww, I hate this song..." Heather said. I turned to her.
"Why? I love this song," I said smiling than began to sing along, "It's just so sad..." she said. Then she stood up and started to wave her hands in the air. We both laughed and joined her. We were the only people doing it, and then a few other people joined us. Then everyone started to do it.
"Okay everyone, let's give a hand to the royals!" Everyone cheered and clapped, "And now lets give one to our tend setters over here," he said, pointing to us. We all laughed as everyone clapped for us as well. Then everyone got back on the gym floor to do whatever he or she wanted to do. I felt someone tap my shoulder, "You're it!" Brittany yelled than ran off, laughing. I smiled and then turned around. There was the King, Zach.
I can ask him later... I thought and then ran after Brittany.
*Later*
The King wasn't exactly surrounded by girls now. I smiled slightly and walked over, "Hey, can I tell you something?" I yelled over the roaring music. He nodded.
"Do you wanna go somewhere quieter?" he asked. My turn to nod now. We went outside where everyone went to go from the gym or the lunchroom.
"So, what did you want to tell me now?" he asked. I sighed.
"Do you like Caroline Smead?" I asked him. He shook his head.
"No, why? We're just friends..." he said.
"She's practically in love with you. She even sang an opera about you. Very badly I might add."
"Aren't you two friends?"
"Oh, please don't go there. I shouldn't have even been friends with and none of this mess would ever happen..."
"What happened?"
"Plenty of stuff, that I'm not really allowed to tell. But could you do me two favors please?"
"Yeah..."
"Don't tell her any of your secrets or anyone for that matter. And tell her that my parents are not fucking abusive."
He nodded. "Thank you!" I said. Then Racheal and Heather walked up.
"There you are!" they said in unison.
"Here I am!" I said cheerily. Then I turned back to Zach.
"Thanks again!" I said, smiling.
"Uh... You know how Caroline said she wouldn't be here?" Heather started. I nodded. "Well, she's here..."
When we were there, we saw Mr. Feldstien. "Holy crap. I thought you said he wasn't going to be here!" I said.
