Prom?

Caley watched the clock as she chatted with her friends. Only a few minutes left to lunch, she still hadn’t gone to her locker to grab her books for her next class. Her friends were talking about prom again. It seemed that was all anyone talked about at school this week.

“Hey, I’m going to go to my locker and get my books.” Caley said quickly as she hurried to the door. “I don’t want to be late again.” She raised her eyebrows at her friends.

They smiled at her and returned to their conversations. She hastily strode to the door. Upon reaching the door, she realized she was stuck in the door jam. Everyone was either trying to get in or out. Once out the door, Caley found that she was still stuck behind Damon. She struggled to get past him but couldn’t.

All of a sudden, the entire men’s acapella group appeared down the hallway. They began singing something as they paraded down the hall. She noticed John was leading them again as she made quick eye contact with him. So typical, they’re probably advertising again… Caley shrugged and resumed her futile attempts to get past Damon. They continued singing in perfect harmony, adding random dissonances. The hallway was crowded with people trying to see what was going on. As they drew closer to her lunchroom, she noticed that they were coming her way. Caley tried to get away as they came nearer.

Unexpectedly, they stopped in front of the door as John took the lead role and burst into trills. Damon stepped aside. It was then that Caley realized all eyes were on her. In shock, she backed away, into the wall. Blake cut them off; Caley noticed the added second as John stepped forward.

“Do you want to go to prom with me?” Her eyes grew wide as he held out his hand to her.

Unable to speak, she nodded her head and took his hand.

“Yeah…” Caley finally gasped when she had come to her senses.

John’s winning smile appeared as he stretched out his arms. Caley noticed Mia’s wide grin off to her side as she hugged John.

“Only if my dad says yes…” Caley whispered to him.

Obviously this is the previous installment to the series Clio is working on. She realizes this probably isn't her best work, but it pretty much is 100% true for those of you who are wondering. She still is no good at making plots up, so we'll see where this goes. By the way, her dad did say yes, no matter how grudgingly. Do let Clio know if you would like her to continue this series or stop where it is. Comment or post on the tagboard please. 

Twenty Questions

Caley chatted casually with her friends as her date danced with another girl. Her eyes flicked over to Mia and Damon dancing together. She smiled to herself, remembering how she had successfully set that up. Her eyes roaming the dance floor, Caley saw many couples dancing to a fast tempo song. Looking around more, she briefly caught Camille’s eye and winked at her. Camille grinned back at her and continued dancing with Jace.

“Caley… Caley.”

Caley’s head snapped back toward her friends as she heard her name, several times.

“What were you saying? Sorry, I was watching Camille and Jace.” Everyone smiled at the mention of the names.

“Oh, I was just asking how you're enjoying your night.” One of Caley’s friends smirked at her. Caley rolled her eyes at her friend just as the song ended.

“I’m having a wonderful time.” She responded, shooting her friend a look.

Just then, she felt a familiar tap on her shoulder. Caley whirled around, perhaps a little too quickly, and came face-to-face with her date. One of her favorite songs had begun and couples were pairing up for slow dance. John smiled lightly as he offered Caley his hand.

“Care to dance?”

Caley took his hand and they walked out onto the dance floor. Once there, she placed her hands daintily around his neck as he placed his around her waist. Gazing into his eyes, she marveled at their greenish blue hue once again. A silent moment passed as they both searched for a conversation started.

“Hey, I have an idea,” Caley pronounced, “Let’s play twenty questions, or something like that.”

“Sure, that sounds good. You go first.”

“Let’s see, are you having a good time tonight?” Caley started with a simple question, so she hoped.

“Definitely! This is great! Are you?” Caley nodded as they swayed slowly to the music.

“Okay, I have a serious question. Why me?” John looked quizzically at her. “Why’d you ask me?” John pondered for a minute, trying to come up with the best response.

“You're one of my best friends, I knew we’d have a good time together. And…” John melodious voice trailed off, meanwhile taking on his more serious tone of voice.

“Oh…” Caley mused over the answer. She wondered what it meant and why John didn’t finish his thought. The next few seconds felt like a lifetime as the long moment elapsed.

“Well, there’s another thing, but…”

Clio apologizes profusely for not writing in a long time, she has been busy and had no inspiration whatsoever. However, recently, some crazy occurrences have given her something to work with. This installment isn't much, but she hopes to continue this series soon. The series is out of order as well. She will compile and finish it all. See if you can find which post this matches with.
