5 more days till the formal.
It was lunch and I was with Zeela, Kris and Jacy. The doors of the cafeteria swung opened, and entered BraD and the guys. I blushed and remembered that night at the park where BraD said that he loved me. He loved me. Me.
"Hey." I looked up to see BraD grinning and he gave me a peck on the lips.
"Hey." I smiled, then turned to face Chris. Who hesitated sitting next to an empty seat next to Jacy. I gave him a well what are you waiting for? Go sit next to her already! look. He nodded and blew a defeated sigh and sat next to Jacy. Score 1 for Dee.
"Hey." Chris said.
Jacy turned and faced Chris, a blush crept over her cheeks. "Hey, Lanter."
"Sup, Fabergas?" Chris joked back. Typical Chris.
"The real question is, you ready for Saturday?"
"Guess so." Chris smiled.
"Good." Jacy said, and returned to eating her Peperonni pizza.
"You ready for Saturday?" I asked BraD, repeating what Jacy said.
"All taken care of." He said.
"Okay." I smiled.
"Hey, have I mentioned that I love you?" He whispered.
"Yeah, I think I've heard that not long ago." I said.
"Ugh!" Zeela cried.
"What's up Zeels?" Kris asked.
"Nothing. I still, haven't got a date." She frowned.
"Aww. You'll have one soon!" River said.
"Yeah. Like, someone's gonna pull up this empty chair," Zeela pointed to an empty chair beside her, "And say, "Hey Zeela, wanna come to the formal this Saturday with me?" Please."
We all laughed.
Then James Joy pulled out the empty chair next to Zeela. "Hey guys."
"Hey James." All of us greeted him.
"Sup?" Zeela asked him, and grabbed a french fry from his tray.
"Nothing much." He replied.
"Ah."
"Hey Zeela, wanna come to the formal this Saturday with me?"
Zeela dropped her french fry. Jacy and Kris laughed. Phoenix and BraD made funny faces. Daryen shocked. Grant's fist clenched. I coughed to keep myself from laughing. River hid her face under her hair.
Hey Zeela, wanna come to the formal this Saturday with me?
Zeela's sarcasm actually went out from someone's mouth. And that someone, was James Joy. Zeela and Jacy's hometown cowboy friend.

"Zeela?" James woke her up.
"What, whah?"
"Do you?" He asked her again.
"Uhhh... Zeela looked at everyone around her and we gave her a nod. "I--"
"We can just go as friends." He smiled.
Zeela's face lit up. "Sure." She finally said.
"Awesome!" James jumped. I'll pick you up at 8pm on Saturday.
Zeela blushed and smiled. "Sure."
And it was all done; dresses, dates, jeweleries. All done. We had them all. Now all we have to do is count down the days till the formal.
