Chapter 75
Friday Night... 9:10 pm
Prom Night
East High School Building
The Garden
Two weeks later
Finally, it is prom night. The night everyone has been waiting for. The night they were dreaming of when they entered senior year one and it is here.
The guys asked the girls out the same day at the park the previous night and it was totally hilarious but very fun that they will never forget in their lifetime.
David asked Malia, Kelly asked Davina, Michel asked Rose, and Mabel herself asked Lucas to tag along. Ivy, Grace, and Alexis came alone although we don't know if the guys asked them out because they have their guys that find them attractive.
The girls left the house to dress up for the prom night and get dresses in the boutique.
Malia was dressed in a cute off-shoulder gown with a little opening at the ti of the gown. She used brown shades and gild colors for her eyeshadows.
She curled her eyelashes and applied mascara since God blessed her with long lashes. She used a little bit of contour and highlight for her cheeks to look more mature than a cute baby.
Lastly, she used red matte lipstick for her lips. She looks addictive.
Anyway, when they got to the venue, she got practically surrounded by most of the guys. It was God's grace that she didn't lose any of her friends within the crowd.
"Malia, you look hot,"
"Malia, you are beautiful,"
"Malia, I love your hair,"
"Malia, I love your dress,"
She smiled at them as an answer to their compliment and walked inside fully as they looked around to find a place to seat and later did.
Her eyes roamed around trying to survey the environment and her eyes landed on Ivy and the girls. She smiled and turned back to the guys.
"Guys, excuse me, I will be right back," she told them standing up as I walked towards Ivy and the girls.
When I got to their side, she gave them a genuine smile which thy returned to.
"Hi,"
"Hi," they replied
"You girls are looking good," Malia complimented them
"Likewise you but it isn't something surprising because you are always breathtaking," Ivy giggled
"Hmm, what a sweet talk, now I'm flattered," Malia chuckled
"Why don't you guys join at the same table," Malia gestured towards the table
"No way, we can't," Alexis shook her head
"Why not," Malia frowned
"Even with everything we have done," Grace sighed," I don't think we have the right to anymore,"
"Yes, Malia, we can't seat there," Ivy added
"Yes, you will because we are friends, remember," Malia told them and they sighed knowing that Malia is stubborn.
"Fine," They said and followed her
As they got to the table and sat down gesturing them to the seat.
"I hope you won't mind if they seat here," Malia asked
"Sure why not, we are friends," Rose and Mabel said together with their mouths filled with food.
"Yes," Michel and Lucas nodded
"Of course, " Kelly, Davina, and David also agreed
"That is great, thanks, guys. You girls can set and enjoy," Malia said and dragged Ivy to a seat down her right-hand side.
"And lets the party all night," Tega shouted

When the song ended, everyone clapped as the principal, Mr. Baldwin came up to the podium and grabbed a microphone.
"Hello students," he shouted as smiles is visible on his face
"Good evening, Mr. Baldwin," The students replied
"Wow, I can't believe that in a few days to come, you all will be graduating from East High School. My favorite boys and girls are leaving and surely, we will miss you all. Always remember where you are from and where you are going. Just know East High School is always going to miss You. Your set is the best so far," He paused as he observed everyone," Goodluck to your various endeavors,"
"Thank you, sir," They shouted and smiled
"But don't forget to invite me to your weddings because I'm already looking at future East High School couples," He told them and the students chuckled
"Don't worry, I'm going to invite you to our wedding," Tega drew Christy closer to himself.
"Yes and not only you," Mr. Baldwin nodded
"How sure are you that we are going to get married," Christy asked frowning
"Wait, You want to break up with me and get married to someone else," Tega scoffed
"If you don't marry me, You can't get married to someone else," He added," me or no one else,"
"Hmm," she sighed
"Or wait are you truly saying you can't get married to me," He asked worriedly
"Because I can't do without you, Christy, I'm already addicted," he added
"Tega, if I don't marry you, who else will I get married to, rest assured we are going to be together forever," she added smiling," I love You so much,"
"I love you too," Tega pecked her lips
"Soon to leave students of East High School, without wasting much of your time so you can enjoy," he paused
"I want to announce the most voted which are the winner of East High School prom king and queen," he said and grabbed an envelope behind him with a crown close to it.
"Everyone should know that the prom king and queen are also the winners of East High School Crush Boy and Girl,"
"So and the prom king is...," He speaks into the microphone and rips the envelope
"David Anderson," he says with a smile as everyone claps.
"I can't believe he took it from me," Michel scoffed
"That means I'm more handsome, hehe," David chuckled walking to the podium
He got close to the principal and the principal placed the gold circle crown on his head and the crowd went wild.
"And the prom queen is...," He speaks into the microphone and rips the envelope he took on the table.
"Malia Stewart," he announced
Malia smiled as she walked to the podium as everyone is smiling and clapping
"He also took my wife to be," Michel shouted
"I was never yours," Malia shrugged
"That is the greatest heartbreak I have ever had," Michel groaned
"Sorry," Rose chuckled
Mr. Baldwin gave the crown to David to wear for Malia. He collected it and turned to Malia
"Before I wear this, I want to say something," he paused
"I know I don't deserve to talk to you because of how I behaved some weeks ago but I won't be whole knowing you aren't might. We started very well and I want us to finish well too," he sighed
"Malia, I want you to know I love you so much, and please will you do me the honor of being my girlfriend," he asked nervously at Malia's reply
Malia smirked and walked closer to him," I know how everything started but we have to create new memories too," she paused and looked at him directly in the eye.
"I will be your girlfriend because there is no one else that will be your girlfriend except Malia Stewart," she concluded giggling and nodding towards the smiling David
"Thank you," He said and closed the gap as he leaned in for a kiss as everyone cheered for them.
"No PDA "public display affection" here because there are some single people here," Fay shouted
"Then get yourself a girlfriend," Abel told her.
"So can the prom king and queen dance," Mr. Baldwin said and music started playing while David and Malia disengaged from their kiss
"Can I have this dance," David asked her smiling
"Yes," she nodded and held her to the dance floor.
