- Sam Smith

Tahira

His family and friends started showing up and the atmosphere was warm with love. Graham introduced me to some of his family and friends. Then he got drawn into a surge of family members.

"I’ll be back!" He shouted to me.

After a few minutes, I got bored so I decided to call Aaliyah.

"Hey boo!!" Aaliyah said.

"Heyy!"

"What’s up?"

"Nothing. At Graham’s grad party."

"Oh cool. Tell him hi."

"I will. When I see him again. He’s with his family."

"Oh. You’re bored?"

"Yea. Don’t really know much people here and I can’t find the guys I know. So I’m just sitting in the front. I miss you and Eric and everyone else."

"WE ALL MISS YOU TOOO! But sorry to hear that. You talk to your mom lately?"

"Yea. She calls EVERYDAY!"

"Of course. Most moms are like that." She laughed.

"Yea. But she’s OD annoying."

"It’s life. How’s you and hubby?"

"We’re great. Everything’s great. Thanks for doing this again."

"No problem. I’m glad you’re happy."

"But there’s still something bothering me."

"What’s wrong?"

"I wanna talk to Graham but he’s so happy and I don’t wanna ruin that."

"What’s up? Tell me!!"

Ok. So Graham’s going to UCONN in August. That’s all the way in Connecticut, I live in Florida. I’m just wondering how this relationship is gonna play out.”

It will work out. Just like it did before you went up there.”

"But he’ll be in college. With girls. Who knows what can happen! How’s this gonna work out. What’s the sense of this if I won’t get to see him anymore? Is this thing only for the summer? I don’t want it to be that way."

"Babe just calm down. I think you are overreacting and I think you need to talk to him. Explain it to him. Tell him how you feel."

"He’s so happy. I don’t want to ruin that."

"I understand. But honestly I think you should talk to him. Even now. When he’s alone. Pull him somewhere and talk to him. This needs to be addressed."

"You’re right. I’ll try it."

"Good. Bye boo! Love you!!

"Love you too babe!"

I didn’t want to ruin his happiness. But I feel like I need to get this thing of my chest.

I walked back to the backyard and sat down on the swing. I sat there hoping Graham would come find me but after 5 minutes he didn’t come and I got impatient so I decided to look for him. I went into the kitchen to look for him.

"Have you seen Saul?" I asked his mother.

"No. But try this. It’s called Sancocho."

She handed me a plate of it and another plate with rice and avocados.

"Mhmmm. This is delicious! Thank you."

It was like heaven in my mouth. I could eat this allll day.

"You’re welcome dear."

I felt fingers poking me on my sides. I turned around and saw Graham. His mom gave him a plate of food.

"Do you wanna go in my room for a bit? Away from the noise" He whispered in my ear.

"Yea." He read my mind.

We walked to the staircase.

"Ladies first." He said smiling at me.

"You’re not slick. You wanna look at my ass."

"Nopppppe"

After we climbed the stairs he said “Maybeee!”

I opened the door to his bed room andwent in and got settled on the bed. Graham played Partynextdoor’s ‘Ballin’ and we ate our food.

While the music played, my mind drifted away.

"You good?" Graham whispered in my ear.

"Yea. Well no. I actually have something to talk to you about."

"Tell me." He gently pulled my arm indicating that he wanted me closer. I crawled over to him and placed my head on his chest.

"Graham."

"Call me Saul. Everyone close to me calls me that." He interrupted me.

"Ok. Saul, what are we? What is this?" I moved my hands between us.

"What do you mean? This is a relationship…. We’re together…. That’s what I think. What do you think this is?" He looked a little hurt.

"Babe. I feel the same. I’m just wondering if this is a summer fling."

"No. Tahira.. why would you say and think that?"

"Because you’re going to college in 2 months. In Connecticut And there will be girls who will be so beautifu-"

He interrupted me with a kiss. After what seemed like years, he broke the kiss.

"I understand." He said looking into my eyes.

"If I was in your place, I’d be freaking out too. But I’d never leave you hanging like that especially knowing what you’ve been through with relationships lately. I care about you too much. We’ll work something out.This will never be a summer fling." He kissed my head.

"Ok. Good. Let’s go downstairs. The man of the evening is missing.

We went downstairs.

Spanish music played loudly in the backyard.

"Let me teach you how to bachata." he said.

I picked up the dance quickly. We added in a couple spins and glided around the dance floor. He’s such a great guy. I have to find a way to keep him in my life.

Graham

I hope that Tahira believed every word that came out of my mouth today. I really mean it. Of course, I’m a bit shocked and disappointed that she’d think I could be that kind of selfish, cruel guy. But I do understand why she believes that; she’s still hung up on the hurt that Trey put her through. Honestly, I don’t think I could ever do that to her or any girl because of what my biological dad sperm donor did to my mom. I made Tahira give love another chance and I’m trying not to hurt her. I told her I’d be there for her and I don’t want to disappoint her; I want to keep my promise. I know if I hurt her she’d be crushed for who knows how long. I want to be there for her in every way possible not just because of what she’s been through but because I genuinely care about her and have feelings for her. I wouldn’t put so much time and energy into someone I don’t care about. I need to show her how important she is to me. I’m gonna show her this is not a summer fling. I’ll make this a summer she’ll never forget.

Chapter 22.1: Graduation

Graham

Today is gonna be one of the biggest days of my life. It was the day of my high school graduation. This day mark's the end of my childhood. It's exciting and scary at the same time. Next september I'll be a college freshman at UCONN playing football. I crawled out of bed and stared at the alarm clock. It was 11 am. I had exactly an hour to get ready and head to school for our final rehearsal. The graduation would start an hour after rehearsal. I took a shower, brushed my teeth and did my other hygienical stuff. Then I put my suit on and went downstairs.

"Buenos Dias mijo." My mother said.

"Morning Ma." I replied.

"Come take a seat and eat."

"No I can't it's getting late and I don't want to mess up my clothes." I headed to the door.

"But I made pancakes and eggs."

I stopped dead in my tracks. I turned around and went to the kitchen.

"You can just put it in a plastic container and I'll take it with me."

She did just that. I told everyone goodbye and went out the door. I got in my car and drove to Jeyson's house. I honked the horn twice. After 5 minutes of waiting Jeyson emerged from his house.

"Good morning Mrs. Fana!!" I yelled through the open driver's window.

"Good morning Saul!!" She yelled back.

Jeyson opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Wassup man? Ready for the big day?" He asked.

"Yea. You?"

"Can't wait."

We did our handshake and then I drove off to school. We pulled up in the school's parking lot and went inside the auditorium. We met up with all our friends. The auditorium was a mixture of multiple conversations and laughs.

"SILENCEEE!!!!" Ms. Rogers, our vice principal, said.

The auditorium went quiet immediately.

"Everyone line up alphabetically, just as we did at the last rehearsal."

We all did what we were told. Everyone scrambled to find the person who stood in front and behind them. After we got that confusion sorted out, we went through rehearsal quickly.

Tahira

I woke up early to get myself ready for today's event. It took hours to pick out my outfit and do my hair and makeup. But it was all worth it. I had to look cute for Graham's graduation. After taking a shower and doing all that other hygienical stuff, I did my hair and makeup and put on my outfit. It took me literally 2 hours to decide what to wear; Valerie complained that I messed up the room. After throwing clothes all over I finally decided to wear a floral dress that stopped just above my knee. The bottom of the dress frilled out a little. I put on my tannish nude looking sandals and gold jewelry accessories. After Valerie and I were both dressed, Julio picked us up and took us over to Graham's house. There we ate breakfast and lounged around until it was time to go. We hang out with Rahider in the living room and watched some other people enter the house. Rahider introduced us to them. They were some of their other family members. When the last of the family arrived, we all piled into cars. Rahider, Valerie and I drove with Graham's brothers. When we got to the school, we were directed to the football field where the graduation was going to take place. The bottom benches were taken so we made our way up to the top. The ceremony had already began when we arrived. The valedictorian and salutatorian already said their speeches. We arrived to hear the principal blabber on about how he'd miss the class. Then finally came the time for the students to get their diplomas. Julio was the first name called; we all cheered for him. Then the other students were called; we cheered for Jeyson when we heard his name as well. The calling of names continued on.

"Saul Mustafa." We finally heard. We broke out in loud cheers. I thought black people were the only extra ones at graduations. I was proved wrong today. We were too far up, so we couldn't take vivid pictures. But, I was so proud of him.

Graham

That moment had finally arrived. We marched into the stadium. Everyone tried to spot their families, including myself. They were no where to be found. I was kinda disappointed. Maybe they got lost or lost track of time or something. We took our seats and the ceremony began. No one really cared to listen to the valevictorian and salutetorian speeches, so we whispered amongst ourselves. Then the principal gave his speech and we attempted to listen; no one really liked him. He didn't do anything for our class and the school in general. He was a pretty selfish guy. He tried to use our prom money to rennovate his office. And now he was standing on the stage talking about how he loved us and pushed us to be where we are now, and all these lies. Someone would have probably objected him, but that would be risky. After he told his lies, it was finally time for us to receive our diplomas. I cheered for my friends once their names were called. The closer it got for me to step on the stage, the more nervous I got.

"Saul Mustafa" The principal said I got up and slowly tripping up the stairs just as I've seen others in movies do. I heard a large cry of cheers as I walked up the stairs and onto the stage. I spotted my brother in front of the stage taking pictures. I collected my diploma and walked off with my head held high. At the edge of the stage, I did the harlem shake and sat down.

"Dude you're hilarious!" Matt said.

After all 276 graduates' names were called, we stood up and threw our hats in the air. The ceremony was over. I took plenty of pictures of my friends and with my friends. Then I plunged into the large crowd of people searching for my family. After several calls, I finally met up with them. I was greeted with hugs and speeches.

Tahira

Graham looked so good walking across the stage and his little dance was adorable. After the ceremony was over we gathered our things and went down to the field looking for Graham. It was chaotic. Literally chaotic. Everyone called him all at once. When we finally found him, his family bonrushed him. Every time a family member finsihed talking to him I tried to go talk to him but someone else got to him first. I gave up on it and went to the refreshment table to grab a drink.

"Tahira!" I heard someone yell.

I turned around and saw Jeyson, Julio and some other boy.

"Hey guys! Congrats!!" I said.

I hugged Julio and Jeyson.

"And you too. What's your name?" I asked the unknown one.

"I'm Henry. Thanks."

"Nice to meet you."

"Yea. You too. You're beautiful."

I smiled.

Before I could answer, I heard someone reply "She's mine".

I turned around and saw Graham.

"My bad bruh. I didn't know." Henry said.

"It's cool."

"Where were you? I was looking all over for you." He said.

"You were occupied with your family so I came over here to get a drink. And saw the guys."

"Ok. Cool."

"Congratulations!!" I said flinging my arms around his neck.

"Thanks TT. I'm glad you're here."

"Wouldn't miss it. I liked your litttle dance."

"You did?" He smiled and did his dance again.

I chuckled.

"Come take pictures with me."

He took my hand and led me over to a froup fo his freinds. Julio was there with his baby Julia. Graham and I took a couple pictures and then he took some with his friends. Sometimes I'd have to hold Julia and take pictures. Julio was very cautious with his camera; it was pretty funny.

"She's better in this angle" and "Don't be so rough with her, she's fragile". He said.

After taking pictures with Graham's friends, we took pictures with his family. Then he took pictures with his Judys. Years later (I say that because it felt like forever), Graham, Valerie, Rahider and I drove to Graham's house with his brothers. At the house, we set up for the graduation party.

Chapter 21:

Graham

Our lips separated after what felt like a lifetime of kissing. She smiled at me and I looked at her. Actually, I stared; I still couldn't believe she was her right in front of me.

"This is amazing." I said.

"It is. You look even better in person." She said.

She smiled hard.

"You too." I returned the smile.

"Soooo.. am I gonna get that dance?"

"Of course. Be right back."

I went to the DJ and requested him to play All of Me by John Legend. I quickly walked back through the crowd and back to Tahira's side.

"Ok. This song goes out to Saul and his girlfriend." The DJ announced.

The song began to play and I gently pulled her into me and put my arms around her waist. Her hands were around my neck and her cheek was pressed on my chest. We began to dance. it was a great feeling. We also danced to Until the End of Time. After that we found my friends all clustered up in a group dancing on the dance floor and we joined them . After that, they announced prom king and queen and prom ended. We all went outside to take pictures.

"We should've planned something." Marcela said.

"Forreal. I don't feel like going home." Matt said.

"Everyone's heading to the beach right now. We should've planned that." I said.

"We can still go." Jeyson said.

"Isn't it too late?" Maysun replied.

"Yea. But who cares? Who's with me?" Jey said.

Everyone screamed yes.

"Alright. So everyone go home, get some stuff and we'll meet up at my house." Jeyson replied.

"We should have a bonfire too!!" Jen said.

"Cool We can do that." Jey said.

"What re we gonna eat?" Julio asked.

"That's what McDonald's made for Caesar." Jey replied.

"It's 11. Someone go to Walmart and buy some kool aid." Matt said.

"Really? Man? Kool Aid?" I asked him.

"Ok then. Soda and liquor if y'all can get that. Never mind, I'll get it." He answered.

We discussed who was bringing marshmallows, blankets, etc and went in the limo. We all got dropped of at our houses to get ready. When I got dropped off, I ran into my house and up the stairs to my room. I grabbed a pair of swim trunks and a towel. I went into my parents' room and Rahider's room to tell them that I'd be home later and called Matt to pick me up. We drove to Jey's house and waited for everyone else. Marcela, Julio, Jey, Maysun, Jen, Rico, Valerie and Tahira came. We put all the stuff into cars and piled in. I drove with Valerie, Tahira, Maysun and Jey. The beach was an hour away. During that hour we joked around and sang along to songs that played on the radio.

Tahira

When we got to the beach we got the fire set up. Everyone pulled out chairs or spread blankets on the sand. We passes around marshmallows. Graham put a marshmallow on a stick, roasted it and fed it to me and I did the same to him. We sat around the fire telling embarrassing stories and ghost stories. I really like Graham's friends; they were laid back and fun and accepted me quickly. I felt like I was apart of the group all along (even though I've only known them for a couple of hours and I was the youngest in the group) .I laid on a blanket beside Graham and I held hands and looked up at the stars.

"Love birds? We're gonna take a dip in the water. You comin ?" Matt asked.

"It's dark." Graham complained.

Graham

"It's dark." I said.

I really didn't want to to go in the water at night. What if I tripped over a rock. I cant swim.

"It's not that dark. The stars are lighting up the sky." Matt said.

"C'mon Grammy." Tahira said.

She pulled me up.

"Fine."

We got in the water and plated a couple water games. Marco Polo was the most fun because it was kinda dark so you couldn't really see anything. It had more suspense and it was extremely hard. I got tired after a couple games and decided to sit where the sand and water met. Tahira joined me. She sat in between my legs and I hugged her from behind. It was quiet but it wasn't awkward. It was a peaceful quietness.

Tahira

Sitting there on the beach with Graham had to be one of the nest moments of my life. We sate there in complete silence watching the waves hit the rocks and the sand. It was picture perfect like a Kodak moment. Me in graham's arms staring at the ocean was perfect. I guess he got tired of the silence so he broke it.

"So, when are you going back?" He asked.

"Not for now. I'm on summer break."

"Really? You have family up here?"

"No, I'm staying with Valerie. We share a dorm."

"Ohh! That's how you know her. You're in that summer program too?"

"Yep." I said popping the p.

"Cool. I guess we'll be seeing alot of each other then." He smiled.

"You betcha."

I told him the whole story. I told him about Aaliyah getting me into the program and the whole plan and how Jeyson was in on it. As well as Julio and his big brother. And how he was trying to prevent him from coming to Florida.

"So, he was only trying to save the plan?"

"Yea."

"I feel stupid."

"It's ok. You didn't know."

"Yea. It's so cute that you went through all that work to see me."

"It's worth it. I was dying to see your gorgeousness in person."

"Me too."

He placed his chin on my shoulder. I could feel every ounce of air that came out of his body on my neck. And I could smell his cologne, it smelt soooo amazing. We sat there in silence.

I stared at the water and just started thinking. Thinking about me and Graham.

"What's gonna happen to us when he goes off to college? We ant be together. This whole thing is a waste them. Is this a summer fling?"

I turned my head side ways to look up at him. I wanted to tell him but he looked so peaceful and happy. I didnt want to ruin this moment. I didn't want to worry him even though it was bothering me terribly. It's like when you have a crazy itch that you're dying to scratch but you know if you do, it will irritate your skin. Sorry for my lame analogies but that's how I felt. So, I decided to drop the topic.

"Hmm? He said looking down at me."

I forgot I was still staring at him.

"Umm... you have beautiful eyes." I said.

"So do you."

I stared at him and he stared at me. Then he kissed me my cheek, then my neck, then my chin and finally my lips. And he took the kiss deeper and kissed until we both ran out of oxygen and we ended it to catch our breaths.

"Is everyone ready?" Julio asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Ok. Let's pack up and head back." He said.

Graham

We packed up all our things, put them in the cars and outed the fire.

Jeyson handed me his car keys and he and Maysun got in the back with Valerie.

I opened the passenger door for Tahira and she got in.

"Such a gentleman." She said.

I smiled at her and walked over to the driver's side and got in.

I started the ignition and let Julio go in front of me cause I didn't know how the fuck to get back. I only knew my way to get there. I had one hand on the wheel and I held Tahira's hand with my other hand.

"Both hands on the wheel mister."

I sucked my teeth.

"No, I'm not old."

"Ok. Don't get pulled over." She warned.

"I won't."

It was really quiet in the car. The silence was killing me and I was kinda sleepy so I turned on the radio to kill the silence ans stay awake. I looked through the rear view mirror and saw that everyone was sleeping. I turned down the radio slightly so i wouldn't wake up anyone. I looked to my right and saw Tahira passed out in the front seat. I gently moved my hand away from hers. I drove to Brown. I shook Tahira but she didn't wake up. Valerie was knocked out in the back. I hit Jeyson in the head.

" What the fuck yo?" He yelled.

"Help me bring them in." I said to him.

I went in Tahira's purse (that makes me sound like a thief) and took out other ID. Jeyson picked Valerie and I did the same with Tahira. We locked the car cause Maysun was asleep in the back and we took the elevator to the 4th floor.

I swiped Tahira's card into the slot on her door and opened it. Jeyson and I put the girls on their beds then we went outside, got their things and brought it up to their room. Then we closed their door and drove to my house.

"See you later man." I said to Jey.

"Bye Mace." I pinched Maysun's nose.

I got my things out of the trunk and opened the door.

"Had a good time? Someone in the shadows said.

I turned on the light and saw Rahider laying in the couch curled up in a blanket. Her head was on a pillow.

"Umm... yea. Shouldn't you be in bed?"

"Yea. But mommy wanted to stay done here and wait for you cause she was worried. But I told her I'd lookout."

"Ok. She didn't have to worry. I'm 18 now. I'm a man." I pounded my chest.

"Ok Tarzan."

I laughed.

"Come on, let's go up."

I helped her up and she grabbed her blanket and we walked upstairs.

"So how was it?"

"Fun."

"And Tahira?"

"She's good. We took her home."

"Ughhh!! Saul! Tell me the details!!"

I yawned.

"I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed. Hasta mañana ."

"Saul!!"

I closed the door in her face.

I took off my clothes and changed into my homer pjs. I was so busy today I didn't even have time to talk to my Judys. I'll just talk to them tomorrow. They'll probably understand.

YAAAAAAY! Okay, please update soon! :)

Tahira's dress

Chapter 20: The Big Day

Tahira

Today’s the day. The day I finally get to see him. Face to face. This is every Judy’s dream. Im so anxious yet so scared.

“Good morning. Today’s the big day!” I heard Valerie say.

I groaned, turned so that I was now laying on my stomach and attempted to go back to sleep. Valerie pulled the curtains back, rays of light illuminated the room. I groaned louder and covered my head with the comforter. I felt a heavy weight on my back.

“Get up! Get up!” she said as she jumped up and down, using my body for a trampoline.

“The fuck? Alright! I’m up! OK?” I said to her.

“Good.”

I went to the bathroom. I washed my hair, took a shower and brushed my teeth.

“So, where are we going now?” I asked her as I walked into the dorm room.

“To eat breakfast. Then, we’re going to Graham’s house to get you ready.”

“Isn’t Graham gonna be home?”

“No, he’s getting ready with the other boys.”

“Oh ok. “

I breathed heavily.

“Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”

“I hope so.”

I took up the phone ready to call Aaliyah. I called her and she told me everything was going to be ok.

“Go put on some sweats or something. We’re gonna get something to eat.”

I nodded my head. I put on sweatpants and a plain white tee. I put my hair in a ponytail and put on a pair of new balances.

“I’m ready.”

“Ok. We should bring all your stuff cause we’re not coming back.”

“Ok.”

We gathered all my stuff and walked out of the dorm hall and to the car. We pulled up to Ihop. We went inside and ordered our food.

“Lemme see if Jeyson wants to come.” Valerie said. She called him and put the phone on speaker.

“Hey.” He said when he answered the phone.

“We’re at Ihop. You wanna come?”

“Man I’d love to but if Graham knows I’m going to Ihop, he’s gonna want to come.”

“He doesn’t have to know.”

“Ight. The one by your school right?”

“Yea.”

“Ight. You know my usual order.”

“Yup yup.”

The waitress arrived with our food.

“Excuse. I’d like to make another order.” Valerie said to the waitress.

“Sure. What would you like?”

“Can I have a short stack of blueberry pancakes with scrambled eggs on the side. And hash browns.”

“Any special request?”

“Cheese on the scrambled egg. Lots of it. And bacon bits and onions.”

“Drink?”

“Orange juice.”

“Ok.”

“Thank you.”

The waitress left our table.

“And he eats this every time he comes here?” I asked Valerie.

“Yea.”

“He has quite the appetite.”

“Psshh!!” You think he does. Wait until you meet Saul.”

I laughed. Jeyson entered the restaurant shortly after our conversation. He stood at the door looking around for us. He spotted us and walked over.

“Wassup ladiesss?” He said.

He hugged both of us.

“Nothing much, getting some breakfast.” Valerie said.

The waitress come back to our table to deliver Jeyson’s food. We got our food reheated and began to eat.

“So you excited?” Jeyson asked between bites.

“Yea. A little nervous too.”

“Everything will be fine.” He reached over the table and patted me on the head. I smiled. We ate and joked around for a while after we finished eating.

“Well Jey, I’ll see you after prom.” Valerie said.

“Yea.”

“Wait. You’re not coming?” I asked her.

“No. I don’t got to their school.” “Oh.”

“Don’t worry. The guys won’t chew you up.”

“Ok. I hope.”

We told Jeyson goodbye and departed on our way to Graham’s house. After a couple minutes of driving, we pulled up into the driveway of a suburban home, which I’m guessing is Graham’s. We gathered all my stuff and walked up to the front door. Valerie knocked on the front door. A short lady with grey hair opened the door. We went inside.

“Hola Señora Canto . ¿cómo estás?”

“Hola, Valerie. Estoy bien, y tú?”

“Estoy bien tambien.”

“¿Quién es esta joven?”

“Who’s this young lady?”

“Ella es novia de Saúl”

“She’s Saul’s girlfriend?”

“Hello nice to finally meet you!”

I smiled and placed my hand out for a handshake. She hugged me instead.

“We hug in this family.”

“Ok. It’s nice meeting you too.”

“¿Hablas español?”

“Sí. no completamente fluido embargo. estoy casi allí.”

“Yes. Not completely fluently though. Im almost there.”

Thank God for my Spanish classes.

“Muy bien.” She smiled at me.

She had such a bright beautiful smile. I see where Graham gets it from. The inside of the house was neat and well decorated.

“Llévala hasta Rahider, mientras hago ustedes un poco de algo para comer.”

“Take her up to Rahider, while I make you guys a little something to eat.”

We walked up the stairs and through the hallway. Before we got to Rahider’s room we passed a room painted in blue which I’m assuming is Graham’s room.

We stopped.

“Let me show you Saul’s room.” Valerie said.

“Ummm… ok.”

I tried to make it sound like his room wasn’t a big deal to me but it was. You can tell a lot about a person by how their room is set up. In my opinion. We walked into his room and I tried to contain my excitement. I didn’t want to come off as a fangirl stalker. Inside his room, clothes were thrown all over his bed. There was a empty Arizona can on his nightstand, pictures of football players, artists and drawings on the walls and pictures of his friends and family on his dresser.

What I got from his room was that he was messy, a family guy and loved art. Seeing his room kinda reinforced what I already knew about him. We left his room and knocked on Rahider’s door.

“Come in.”

We entered her room.

“Ok. Take a seat. “

I sat down on the chair in front of her vanity.

“Let me see your dress, so I’ll have an idea of how to do your hair.”

Valerie got the bag with my dress and showed it to her.

“Wow!! This is cute.” She said.

“Thank You.”

Graham’s mom brought us something to eat. We ate. The food was delicious.

Rahider started doing my hair while Valerie did my makeup.

“What time is it?” I asked Julio.

We were all in his room playing video games. Yes, we’re playing video games. Prom isn’t that serious. All you have to do is take a shower, brush your hair, throw on a tux, spray on some cologne and your’re ready. Girls have to do their nails, wax their eyebrows, do their makeup and some other extra shit. But hey, I love to see a girl all dolled up.

“It’s 4:20.” Matt said.

“Alright. It’s time to get ready.” Julio said.

“Awwww.” The guys said.

We all got up from our comfortable positions.

“So, we’ll meet y’all back here at 5:30 right?” Matt asked me.

“Yea.”

I sprinted off to the bathroom before Jey or Julio could. I took my shower and got out.

We all got ready. We went downstairs to take pictures with Julio’s mom. She positioned Julia on the camera stand. We posed for the camera.

“Wait! Wait!” Julio’s mom said. She walked up to Julio, wet her fingers and wiped his face. Jeyson and I snickered.

“You too Saul.” She wiped my cheek.

Jeyson grinned.

She walked over to him and did the same thing. She fixed our bow ties. Real niggas wear bow ties.

“Now say cheese.”

“Cheeseee!!” we yelled. She took the picture. We heard a loud honking outside.

“Guess that’s the limo. Bye mom.” Julio gave her a hug.

“Bye Mrs. Arias!!” Jey and I said.

We took turns hugging her.

“Have fun ninos. Love you all.”

We went inside the limo. All the guys were in there. We went to each girl’s house to take pictures and pick them up. Then, the limo made a final stop at my house. Everyone got out. I went inside.

“Mom!!!” I yelled.

“Coming hijo!” She yelled. She came downstairs. My dad, sister, brothers and Valerie followed behind.

“What a crowd.” I said then smiled.

“Looking sharp man.” My brothers said dapping me.

My stepdad dad nodded in agreement.

“You look so good!!” Rahider said.

“Saul, you look fineeeee!!” Valerie said.

“You look like a million dollars mi hijo.”

“Thanks guys.”

“Yo Rahider, I left my chain and watch in your room be right back.” I said and headed up the stairs.

Valerie pushed me out of the way and ran upstairs. I ran behind her. She stood in front of Rahider’s room.

“Move Valerie!”

“You can’t go in!”

“Why not?”

“You can’t .”

I tickled her and she moved out the way.

When I got in the room, I looked around, trying to see what Valerie was hiding. I saw nothing. I grabbed my chain and watch off her dresser and ran back downstairs. I took pictures with my siblings, parents and then friends. We told everyone goodbye and went back to the limo.

The ride to the hotel was fun. We joked around and talked about our high school memories. We got to the venue and I have to say the prom committee did a good job. We had a red carpet and the prom decorations actually matched the theme. Inside the hall was cool. There were lights everywhere and flashy lights and a fake Hollywood sign. We all headed out on the dance floor and started dancing. The DJ was good, everyone was having a great time. We were turnt up. A couple girls came over to me and asked if we could dance. They grinded on me and I returned the favor. Then, slow songs came on. Everyone grabbed someone and headed to the center of the dance floor. I just stood in the back watching.

Tahira

I heard Graham’s voice outside. He and Valerie were arguing. He wanted to come in . I ran to the closet to hide. I closed it partially, so I could see what he was doing. He looked around the room. Then he took up something off the dresser. I breathed a sigh of relief. I came out of the closet. I put on my necklace, bracelet, shoes and went downstairs.

“Is he gone?” I asked Valerie.

“No, he’s outside taking pictures. Be right back.”

I sat in the couch waiting. Everyone came back in. I met Graham’s dad and we took pictures. Graham’s mom placed a corsage on my hand.

“Thank you for your hospitality.”

“No problem darling. You look beautiful.”

“Thank you.”

Graham’s sister is awesome. She did my hair and nails.

“Thank you so much Rahider.”

“No problem doll. And you look gorgeous.”

“Thanks.”

“How much do you want for doing this?” I asked her reaching into my purse.

“No money. Seeing my brother’s face all lit up will be payment enough.” She smiled. I returned the gesture.

I hugged his mom, Rahider and Valerie. I shook his dad’s hand and his brothers led me to the car.

“So are you nervous?” Graham’s big brother asked me while he drove.

“Yea. A little.”

“There’s no need to worry.” His other brother said.

We drove up to the hotel . I told them thank you and got out of the car. I called Jeyson and told him that I was outside. A few minutes later, he came outside with his girlfriend by his side.

“You look beautiful.” Jeyson said.

“Thank you.”

He introduced me to Maysun. We went inside. Jeyson told me where Graham was and went to the dance floor with Maysun. I took a deep breath and walked over to him.

I tapped him on the shoulder.

“May I have a dance?” I asked him.

Graham

I stood there watching everyone dance. I mean I could easily go out there and dance with someone but it just wouldn’t feel the same as me being able to dance with my girlfriend. I can’t wait for school to be over so I can book a ticket to go see her. I walked over to the food table and poured myself some punch. I felt a finger tap my shoulder. Followed by “May I have a dance?”

I turned around to see who it was. And to my surprise it was Tahira. I couldn’t say anything. I was speechless. I stood there staring at her. I took in her full appearance. She looked beautiful. I’m just so surprised to see her standing directly in front of me. Like words can’t explain how I feel. Its like asdfghjkkkkk. I finally opened my mouth and said “I can’t believe its you.”

I hugged her tightly.

“You better believe it.” She said.

I crashed my lips into hers and pulled her closer. Kissing her like I’ve never seen her before. Which was kinda actually true.
