I walked into the caffeteria more like limped there. Claire sat me down and went to get my tray with Sydney. I looked around. Something seemed a little different. I turned around to look at the stage. There was a big blue and pink banner with the word "Prom" written in black letters.
"Jesse." I turned around to look at Claire.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing. Just making sure you're still alive." She smiled.
"Oh." Sarah came to our table.
She was wearing her brown hair in a ponytail. She had on a light blue tank top with a mini skirt. Weird combonation.
"Hey, Jesse!" She screamed. I covered my ears.
"Hey. I murmered. She giggled.
'Who are you taking to the prom?" SHe asked twirling her hair around her fingers.
"Sydney." Claire said quickly. Sydney and I both looked at her.
"When did we make that arrangement?" I asked.
"Just now." She hissed. Sarah glared at Claire.
"Ok." She said then walked off.
"I'm not going." I said. Sydney and Claire looked at me.
"Why?" Sydney asked.
"One: I can't dance. Two: I'm cripple." I explained.
"Ok. I understand the cripple part. But I know you can dance." Claire said.
"No I can't." I argued.
"You break dance, Jesse. You can dance." She crossed her arms.
"Fine. I'll go. But I'm not dancing."
"Can we make you a pimp?" Sydney asked.
"Are you gonna be my ho?" I smiled.
She shook her head. I sighed and nodded. They squealed and grabbed my arm.
"Time to go shopping!" Claire shouted.
......
"Turn to the left." Kelly said with a needle in her mouth. I turned to the left.
"Ow! Watch where you poke that thing." I said gritting my teeth.
"Oh hush. It's not gonna kill you. There, all done." She stood up to look at me.
"Well?" I asked.
"Pimpin' " She smiled.
I was wearing an all black suit with a white tie.White tribal markings covered the jacket with, of course, a bloody rose on the back.
"Why is that rose everywhere?" I asked.
"I don't know. I bet it means something." Kelly shrugged. "Can you pick up Sydney?"
I looked at my watch.
"Um. Yea. Thanks for the suit." I smiled and hugged her neck.
"You're welcome. Have fun tonight." She said. I walked out the door as a limo pulled up. Brock stepped out along with Lizzy.
"who's your date?" I asked as I limped over to Lizzy. She looked at my suit.
"You." She giggled.
"My date is Sydney. Besides you're my sister. Twin actually."
"You have two dates. You're allowed to take a sister, Mr. Pimp." She smiled.
I shrugged and got into the car. About five minutes later we arrived at Sydney's house. Brock and I headed for the door. He rang the doorbell twice.
"You only had to ring it once." I muttered. He smiled.
"I got a little eager." He winked.
"You're so not getting lucky tonight." I looked at the floor.
"They're here! Sydney, how do I look?" I heard Claire shout from inside the house.
Claire opened the door first. She gasped. But she wasn't looking at Brock.
"Hope you're looking at the limo." Brock growled. She shook her head.
"I love your suit, Jesse!" She shouted. I grinned.
"I like your dress." I said.
She was wearing an aqua dress with a floral design on it. It was silk and slim until it got down to the her legs. Then it started to flare out.
"Thank you." She smiled.
I nodded then Sydney got my attention. Sydney was walking up behind Claire. She had on a red satin dress with black tribal markings. Well that's what it looked like. She wore long fingerless gloves and black leather boots that went up to her knees. On her right wrist was a black rose.
"You look beautiful." I winked.
"Thank you." She said with a heartfelt smile. We all piled into the limo. We talked about getting pictures and who's gonna be the king and queen of prom. We pulled up to a tall hotel with a crowd of people in front and a red carpet.
"Are we in Hollywood?" Lizzy asked. We laughed and got out.
"Oh my God! It's Jesse Sparks!" A girl yelled. "Can we have your autograph? We love your music!"
"I don't remember putting out an album." I said signing her shirt.
"Your aunt put it out when you were in the coma." Claire whispered.
"you're the hottest rock star/vampire ever!" Her friend screamed. I smiled and walked in with Sydney.
A banner hung low saying "Go Wolves! Attack the world with full force!" Claire saw a camera and pushed us in front of it. She got in front of Brock and he wrapped his arms around her. Classic. I put my cane across Sydney's chest and she placed her hands on my arms. Lizzy put one arm on my shoulder and her hand on her hip. Then the man snapped the photo.
He gave us each a copy. I looked at my eyes. They were red, must be a camera flare. We hung out around the tables most of the time. I got up and put my cane down. Then I stumbled over to Sydney.
"Would you care to dance?" I asked.
"I thought you couldn't dance." She smiled and took my hand.
"I'll make and acception for you."
We slow danced for a bit. Then a woman walked onto the stage with a red envelope. She tapped the mic and the music stopped.
"Ok. It's time to announce the prom king and queen. The prom queen is......Sydney Matthews!" Everyone shouted as she made her way to the stage to get her crown.
"And the prom king is...........Jesse Sparks!" I staggered my way to the stage and got crowned. Sydney put a coat on me.
"Congradulations." Sydney smiled. I kissed her lightly on the lips and smiled back.
"You too."
