PROM NITE 1 ~ Chloe Prom Scene 1


By Jackie Punsal
	
	Music echoed through the hall.  Chloe looked around the room.  It 
was dressed quaintly with white Christmas lights and artificial stars.  
However simple the room was decorated, there was something magic 
filling the air, she could feel it.  Something was going to happen 
tonight.  Tonight was her night, it had to be.  Chloe looked up towards 
the glass ceiling.   The stars glimmered magnificently and shone 
through the faint clouds.  The few raindrops that were left on the 
crystal clear glass, sparkled like small diamonds.  “This has to be a 
good night, it just has to be,” Chloe thought to herself, “After all 
that’s happened, this must be the night when everything has to go 
right.”

	It was exactly four weeks after the little predicament that she 
had with Xavier.  It was exactly four weeks since she hoped for 
something to happen between them.  She knew that nothing could ever 
happen between them.  Friends right? Just friends.  But she wondered 
why just being friends hurt so much.  Why did it leave such a dull pain 
in her heart?  Why couldn’t she just move on?  It was just a crush, but 
it meant so much more to her, much more than she expected.  Now that it 
was gone, she felt an emptiness, a longing, but she knew she couldn’t 
cross that path again.  It would only lead to more pain and 
disappointment.

	She looked at her lap and smoothed a little crease in her 
burgundy dress.  Not tonight though, she would forget about that 
tonight.  Everything was perfect and she wasn’t going to think about 
it.  She was going to have fun tonight, she promised herself.  She 
checked her nails…perfect.  The first time she had gotten them this 
perfect.

	“Haha, I know what you mean,”  Izzy’s sharp giggle cut through 
Chloe’s thoughts.  She smiled.  It was a good thing Izzy was enjoying 
herself.  It was nice that she finally got over Alex and moved on.  
Another giggle came from Izzy.  A girl from the other table came over.  
“Hey Izzy, do you know who I just saw?”

	“Who?”

	“Come on, I’ll show you.”  

	Izzy glanced around the table, “Um…I’ll be right back.  Hey 
Chloe, you want to come?”

	Chloe shook her head, “No, it’s ok.  Just fill me in later.”

	“k.” Izzy said as she rose and walked away from the table 
whispering to the other girl.  Whatever it was, it made Izzy pick up 
her pace.

	“I wonder what was that about.”  Greg whispered to Chloe.  Greg 
was Izzy’s ‘date,’ figuratively speaking of coarse.  He was sweet 
enough to take her to the prom after Alex left her high and dry.  That 
was just his personality, sweet and caring, too bad he already had a 
girlfriend; she was in college.

	“I don’t know…but when I find out, I’ll tell you.”  Chloe 
giggled.  Greg looked at her intently, as if he was examining her. 
“What?”

	“No, nothing,” he said as he blinked out of his stare. “I was 
just looking at you.  You’re so beautiful.”

	Chloe blushed slightly, “aww…thank you.”

	“No I mean it.  You look so different.  I barely recognized you 
when you came in.”

	“Uh…what so u mean I don’t look pretty everyday?”  Chloe said 
with a smirk.

	“No, no, no, you do look pretty everyday. But tonight, there’s 
something different, I don’t know…You look very pretty, that’s all I’m 
saying.”

	“Ok…I’ll give you a moment to take your foot out of your mouth.”

	“Haha, so, hey, who you trying to impress?”

	“Impress?  Why honey, I’m trying to impress everybody.”

	“Well, it’s working.”  Greg said as he started to laugh.  Chloe 
knew Greg just as long as she knew Izzy. They were buddies and she knew 
that, but she liked it that way.  Their whole relationship from the 
beginning was totally platonic.  He was always just this guy who was 
just there.  Too bad she didn’t hang out with him as much as she did in 
grammar school.  Someone clinked a glass.  Chloe’s thoughts shifted and 
she started to think of Xavier. Could she just be buddies with Xavier?  
She closed her eyes. She had no choice.  But not tonight.  She couldn’t 
think of that tonight.  She slowly opened her eyes, it was her night.  
It was the perfect night…
