1 The beginning with an end
As I gazed into her eyes, I saw stars, millions of them. The universe, the Galaxy, everything. Just by one look in her eyes.
Now, hold up. You might wonder who am I talking about? Well, let me tell you. First , I'm Erica, who is crushing on Crystal. You might think it's just a small crush but it's not, it's a really BIG crush. In fact, I've been crushing on her all through high school. Now we're in fourth form and I'm kinda shy, here's why. She is the popular girl while I'm nobody . We only share glances and small talks but that's it. The good part is my best friend James is friends with her, and he tells me everything about her. So you might wonder why not make a move? Well she has a type, and I might not be that type. So I'm planning on changing that and- bell rings.
Everyone rush to get to class. When we are all seated professor Gray starts the lesson. After we're finished I head outside to eat my lunch in peace. Just as I reach the bench James ran to me with a smile on his face.
" You'll never guessed what I just heard." He said with a giddy look on his face.
" What?" I answered back with an irritating voice, half terrified that it might be something bad.
" I just heard Crystal's bisexual."
" What!?!" I yelled as I choked on my food.
" That's right, and I heard she's hoping for someone to ask her to prom."
I sigh as I remember that prom is only two weeks away. And on Valentine's day one of the worst possible day. I think as I wonder how can I pull this off? I know James wanted me to do something so i leaned in, recovered from shock and I told him the plan.
To be honest I don't know what I was thinking. It was preposterous, and downright crazy. But when he told me that she was bisexual it just formed. So, here I am three days later in the cafeteria, standing on a table. Now when I say this plan was crazy I mean insane.
" May I have your attention." With a ball forming at my throat I said out loud.
" I just want to ask a certain someone in this room an important question."
I noticed everyone was whispering, because they know that I was gay and wondering who I was directing this question to.
I turned to Crystal and said " Would you Crystal Diamond be my prom date and Valentine? "
Everyone was quite waiting for an answer all eyes on Crystal, I gulped, wondering if she would say no.
" Yes "
That was the happiest moment of my life. I jumped for joy, just then the bell rang again. I went to class with the biggest smile on my face.
The next day I try to get Crystal attention, but each time she either dismiss me or James block my way to tell me how happy he is or congratulations. Finally at the end of the day when I got her attention I told her how nervous I was when I was asking her the big question and that I never thought she would say yes. She turned around with lighting speed and told me that she only said yes because it would be bad for her to say no, and that she didn't even like me. Finally she told me that if I ever want a chance, I have one week to impress her, with that she turns around and leave. With disbelief I head home. When I reached I call James and told him the truth, he was devastated at what he heard. He cheered me up by saying I have seven days to impress her, and he was right. I went to sleep with a plan in my head.
Sunday the first day I send her a Crystal blue necklace and ring. Knowing it's her favorite color.
Monday a gold jewelry box.
Tuesday a music box playing her favorite song.
Wednesday we hangout together and I showed her the most beautiful places.
Thursday we wore matching jumpsuits.
Friday we had matching bracelets and she finally gave me a kiss.
Saturday prom night I worried she wouldn't come. And I had put on my best suit ( the only suit I owned ) specificaly for this special night. As I placed the hallways James came up to me and told me not to worry. As I was going to give him a smart retort a black limousine came and out stepped Crystal in the most beautiful dress I've ever seen. It was Crystal blue ballgown with silk bottom, heart line, strapless, with a crown on her head. I was slack jawed as I stated at her. James smiled as he elbowed me in the ribs with a slight nudge and said " Go get your girl or im gonna get her for you and I'm gay "
I wobbled to her, held her hand kissed it and walked in the doom. As you should know Crystal's dad sponsored the prom so we are in a ballroom filled with gold. On a table there is a juice bowl that everyone knows is filed with alcohol, there's a chocolate fountain, with strawberry skewers beside it. On another table there's appetizers, next is cake, another is food. But we didn't pay those any mind we went on dance floor and we danced. It was magical, even if the big crystal chandelier above us has me begging it wouldn't fall, it was magnificent. As we danced we passed James and his partner dancing together. We smiled, and we kissed.
This was a moment I will never forget.
