Chapter 1

'Lizzyyyyyyy' my best friend, Victoria stretched.

'What is it now Tori?' I asked knowing her answer. I knew she would ask me to go-

'Prom Shopping?' There she said it even before I could think about it.

'Yes, we'll go prom shopping once I complete my essay on human rights

'Thank you, Lizzy'

'Love you' I say and walk towards my English class.

'Hey babe' said Blake walking right next to me.

'Hey, Blake.' I replied.

Blake and I have been dating for 6 months. Blake was the school's heartbreaker, or player whatever you want to call him. I guess I changed him. He has stuck with me for 6 months. He has girls falling at his feet but he has been ignoring them for me! I do feel lucky sometimes.. but I am always scared that I'll end up heartbroken.

'So, I have a serious question to ask.' he says.

'Yes go on'

'Um.. never mind we reached the class. I'll ask you at lunch.' he says and kisses me square on the lips. I kiss him back and go and sit at my desk next to my best friend, Aiden.

'You are blushing.' he teases.

'Shut up A' I laugh it off. Yes, even after 6 months of dating I still blush when he kisses me or calls me beautiful.

Aiden shakes his head and starts paying attention to what the teacher was saying. Today's topic was love.

'What do you think love is, Miss Palmer?' Mr.Diaz asks.

'Love isn't something that can be explained through words. Love is sacrifice, love is understanding the other one, and love isn't always found in the opposite gender or in someone you kiss or have physical relations with. Love can be found anywhere. It may be in your best friend, who loves you even if you make mistakes, it can be found in your parents who love you unconditionally, no matter what you do they stand by your side.' I answered. 'And that's just one definition of love. Love can be a million things. This is what I feel love is. Maybe Aiden or any other classmate has a different definition of love.'

'That's amazing Miss Palmer.' He complimented and moved further with the class.

For the rest of class, I was zoned out, thinking about the question Blake was going to ask me.

The bell rang and I packed my stuff and started to move out of the class.

I went down to my locker before going to the cafeteria to keep all the books.

A hand snaked around my waist and I jumped and gasped.

'Hey baby' Blake greeted.

'Blake, you scared the shit out of me.' I replied and rolled my eyes.

'Sorry hon, but can you accompany me to the football ground, I need to run some errands for Coach Andrews.'

'Sure'

He took my hand and started walking towards the ground.

'Blake, how was your day? '

'It was good so far and now it's going to be even better.'

As we reached the ground I could see numerous students at the bleachers. Things were starting to confuse me. And then red and white balloons engulfed my vision and I could no longer see anything but balloons. The warmth of Blake's hand disappeared. As my vision cleared up I could see five people lined up behind Blake holding a board that said, Prom?

'Oh my God Blake' I said.

'Will you go to the Prom with me?'

'Yess yess I will.' I answer and run into his arms. He picks me up and spins me around. I giggle like a schoolgirl. Never have I ever smiled so hard in my life. I love him a lot.

He puts me down and kisses me. All the students on the bleachers start teasing us. I blush red like a tomato. I fall in love every time he does something like this. We walk into the cafeteria and I sit next to Victoria.

'Damn girl, that was one hell of a promposal.' She comments.

'I know Tori l just can't explain how happy I am right now.'  I say and smile. He keeps doing things like this and god he has me heads over heels in love with him.

'That's nice Liz, I am glad that he makes you happy'

'Yes V, he makes me happy.'

She smiles at me and starts eating her lunch. I go and get myself a cheeseburger and some fries.

'So where do you want to shop for the prom dress?' Victoria asked me.

'Uhhh. I don't know. Surprise me.'

'Okay girl, be ready at 5 p.m. I'll pick you up .'

'Kay. Cool.'

'What dress are you getting tho?'

'I don't know..' I say honestly. The prom theme was a modern-day dress up and I had no idea what to get for that particular theme.

'Why? I mean junior prom is in a week.'

'Yeah you are right but I just can't decide' I say, ' I mean I don't even know what Victorian vintage ball is'

'Yeah, I'll ask Georgia to help. You know she has an amazing collection and her fashion sense, I am in love with that'

'Everything you said went over my head, the only part that made sense to me was that Georgia is going to help us decide on what to wear. '

Well laugh and the rest of the lunch passes by in silence. As I was leaving the cafeteria something caught my eye. Or more specifically someone caught my eye. Before I could observe more Tori pulled me towards her locker.

'What?' I ask.

'I think Marcus is going to ask me out.' she says.

'That's great.'

'Yeah but I m freaking out. I have had a crush on him for so long!!'

'Tori, you are one of the most beautiful girls around the campus.' I say, ' and besides you got nothing to worry about. He'll like you right away. '

'Okay.'

Hey guys. I have been planning this book for since long. I finally dared to post it. I don't know this story is kind of personal. Go easy with the criticism, I mean criticism is acceptable. Just go easy on me for the first few chapters.

Until next time.
