Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

EMMA’s POV :

It was Friday night and the air was filled with excitement.

The moment I put on my gorgeous champagne colored dress, I felt like a princess.

This dress was fabulous, it had A-line spaghetti straps and it was a backless dress, hugging my figure in all the right places.

Quite frankly, after my accident, I was feeling super ugly.

I had bruises everywhere and my eyes were always swollen because I was crying a lot.

I lost quite a lot of weight because I was depressed and some people even thought I was on drugs.

But for the past month after senior week, things were looking much better for me.

I felt like I got the closure I needed with lan and I was starting to move on with my life.

I felt a lot better being in my own skin and my friends were a great help as well.

Tiff was looking gorgeous.

She was wearing a two-piece dress, the top was this velvety black halter and the bottom was this long red silk skirt with high slits.

Her dark hair was curled and it cascaded beautifully down her back.

Carrie looked as pretty as ever too.

She opted for a more traditional look, she was wearing a_ lavender strapless dress embroidered with these little flowers.

If you haven't noticed by now, yes we were all getting ready for the prom.

We were getting ready at Tiff’s house.

Normally we would get ready at my place, but since Tyler wasn't welcome in my home after my mom thought he was the guy that knocked me up, we decided that Tiff’s place would be a safer ground.

Tyler, Nick, and Mark were all waiting downstairs.

I could only imagine what was happening there.

Tiff's parents were this vegan hippie couple and they were lovely people, but they also like to preach to people about the benefits of going vegan.

The boys were probably being introduced to their new Kombucha brew and being force- fed to watch some vegan documentary.

When Tiff, Carrie, and I finally got downstairs, the boys let out a sigh of relief.

Mark went over to Carrie and gave her a corsage.

Nick went over to Tiff and did the same thing.

I looked up to Tyler in anticipation and I noticed how good he looked tonight.

His blonde hair was slicked back and his beautiful blue eyes were on full display.

"You look beautiful," he said, taking the words right out of my mouth.

"I was about to say the same thing,"I smiled back.

He took my hand and put a corsage around my wrist.I couldn't stop the smile that escaped my lips as I watched his hand shakily grabbed onto mine.

The flower looked beautiful on my wrist and after he put it on, he refused to let my hand go.

"Let's get some pictures!" Tiff's mom called out and waved her iPhone 7 in the air.

"Use my phone, mom,"Tiff cut her off and gave her the newest iPhone model.

"Everybody get in the frame, get closer,"Tiff’s mom and dad gestured for all of us to stand near each other.

We took a couple of group shots and some couple shots too.

Before we left, we made sure to get a shot of just us girls.

I was feeling a little emotional when Tiff was airdropping the photos and it hit me, this was our prom.

Our last high school dance ever.

Nothing was gonna be the same after this.

"You alright there?"

Tyler asked when he studied the creases on my face.

"Yeah,"
