Chapter 6
Jax’s POV
Today was the day. Prom. I was very excited, but also very nervous. I’d gotten my suit on and was trying to decide whether to brush my hair and make it neat or leave it in its usual purple fluffy mess. Then I looked over to Zooble who was meticulously applying eyeliner and their green hair wasn’t brushed so I ultimately decided to leave it. Then Kinger walked over. “Nervous?” He asked, a smile on his lips.
“A bit, but it’s Sophomore prom. We’ve still got Junior and Senior year to go and I’m probably never going to remember this anyways.” I said rubbing the back of my neck. I mean sure, I was stoked that Pomni liked me back, but we’re in High School. None of this is gonna matter in the future.
Kinger looked down. “Just cherish it. Make sure you spend every moment you can with Pomni because-“ he cut himself off, but we all knew what he was implying. Quennie. His girlfriend who passed just last year from a car accident. Kinger had been the one driving, and he still has some serious survivors guilt, but he’s moved past it and is able to enjoy life again.
Anyways, away from the depressing shit. Zooble finished applying eyeliner and touching up their black nails and we were all ready to go.
We walked downstairs and saw the girls laughing with each other and then Pomni…
She was wearing a beautiful blue dress with silver heels. Her makeup was perfect. Her outfit was perfect. She was perfect.
I took her hand and gently kissed it. “You ready m’lady?” I asked with a smirk.
She laughed a bit then said, “why yes kind sir.” I took her hand and we all walked out to my car.
Once we got to the school around 80 people were already there. It’s a big damn school. We walked in and immediately stared having a great time. Ragatha was talking to a teacher. Zooble and Gangle were stuffing their bags with snacks. Kinger was kinda just existing. And me and Pomni were having a great time. Dancing, singing (albeit horribly) and just being ourselves.
Then the slow dance. The moment every awkward couple dreaded. I held Pomnis waist and she placed a hand on my shoulder. We danced and the group watched us. Then the music reached its peak. I spun Pomni then dipped her. The music slowed and quieted and Pomni looked beautiful in that light and I couldn’t help myself. I kissed her on the lips. And she kissed back.
When the song ended I swear Pomni had stars in her eyes. I pulled back and looked over to the group. Ragatha and Kinger looked like they were about to cry. Gangle and Zooble were jumping with excitement and Pomni looked overjoyed.
After the song we walked over to the group and Ragatha ran over to hug us. “So are you like officially dating now?” Gangle asked.
“Depends on what Pomni wants, I mean I would like to…” I said looking at Pomni.
“Dating..?” She said confusion etched on her face.
“Dating like, Rags what’s do you wanna be my girlfriend in Russian…” I whispered.
She thought for a moment then whispered, “Хочешь быть моей девушкой?” (Would you like to be my girlfriend?)
Pomnis eyes widened and she hugged me tight. “ Yes!” She said. I was fucking thrilled. This random Russian girl that I had somehow met at an airport is now my girlfriend.
Holy shit…
