I Finally Got Adopted..Dang

I sighed as I straightened my hair. As much as I hated to admit it, I was excited about prom. Nakita had been talking non stop about it for the past two weeks that I was beginning to feel so excited about it.

Chatter filled my room as everyone got ready. I suppose that it was decided we all would get ready at my house because Mackenzie had been so enthusiastic about prom. With her and Nakita combined, in was impossible to escape prom madness.

“Marley are you almost done straightening your hair? I need to start curling the twins’ hair,” Mackenzie asked me. I looked at her in the mirror and nodded. I got up and flopped on my bed. Even though I was in boxers and a tank top, it was way to hot in my room with five people in the room.

“How do we look?” the twins asked together. I sat up a little bit to look at them. They both look absolutely stunning.

Sarah had on a strapless, burnt orange dress that had black lace over the skirt. Over her stomach, and in random places on the skirt, were sequins that sparkled when she moved. In between her breast was a huge silver pin that completed the dress. Her hair was curled and in a side ponytail with her side bangs straight and black.

Kristin had on a simple white, strapless dress. There was lace that sparkled over the skirt and top part of her dress. Her dress was so simple that it fit her perfectly. Kristin also had her hair just like Sarah’s but her side bangs were her normal color.

“Wow you guys,” I told them, “you both look so pretty. I’m insanely jealous right now.”

“You are such a liar,” they both said. I shook my head and laughed at them.

“My turn!” Nakita screamed. “Everyone can awe at me now!”

Nakita, of course, was Nakita. She had on a very loud dress. It was a bright, neon yellow, strapless dress that went great with her olive skin tone. Random sequins were all along the dress. Nakita’s hair was simply curled in large curls.

“Holy shit Nakita, could you’re dress be anymore brighter?” I asked in wonder.

“Is it too much?” Nakita asked in a worried tone.

“Oh my god no. it’s perfect,” I said reassuring her. She sighed with relief.

“Well, you better put your dress on Marley,” Kristin said to me. I groaned and put it on.

“Whoa Marley. You look hot. I’d tap that,” Nakita said, “Eli is so lucky he has you. He’s going to pop a boner once he sees you.”

“I’m sure,” I muttered but she didn’t hear me.

“Oh Marley,” Mackenzie cried, running up to me and hugging me, “you look so beautiful. Your parents, and James and I, are so proud of you,” she whispered in my ear. I felt tears coming to my eyes when she said that.

“You really do look great Marley,” Sarah said and Kristin nodded along with her.

“Yeah right,” I said but looked at my dress anyways. I had chosen a black dress, of course. I was the only one who didn’t have a strapless dress; mine was a halter. All along the top were sequins galore. Lines of sequins ran across my stomach. I didn’t like dresses, but I absolutely loved this one. “Well I must admit,” I said, “this dress does give me some serious cleavage.” Everyone but Mackenzie laughed.

“Alright, let’s stop talking about cleavage and boners and go downstairs,” Mackenzie said, ushering us all down the stairs. I smirked at her as I tried not falling down the stairs.

Everyone was downstairs in the living room. John was there with his girlfriend, Emma, who was in a pale pink dress that suited her soft personality. Emma didn’t hang out with us a lot, it wasn’t that we didn’t like her, or she didn’t like us, it was just that she was incredibly shy. I often wondered why such a nice girl like her was with John, but they were both happy and it was none of my business anyways. Nakita and Alex were already staring into each others eyes lovingly; they had been doing that a lot lately. Sarah and Jason were holding hands and laughing, Kristin and Jeremy were trying to figure out how to put on Kristin’s corsage. Derek was there with his date, Megan. I shuttered when I saw them together but otherwise ignored them. Derek and I hadn’t really been talking all that much lately anyways. The only person who wasn’t here was my date and boyfriend, Eli.

“Marley,” Nakita came up to me and grabbed my arm, “has Eli taken you into a private room and ravished you yet?”

“No Nakita, he hasn’t. He would actually have to be here to do that.”

“Oh wait, there he is now,” Nakita said as Eli walked through the door. “Go talk to him and then go bump uglies.”

“Hey Eli.”

“Hey Marley. Sorry I’m late, I couldn’t figure out how to tie my tie,” Eli said, fidgeting with his tie not looking at me.

“It’s okay. You look amazing by the way,” I told him. And he did; Eli should wear a tux everyday from now on. His black on black tux made his green eyes look greener, if that was possible.

“You look-“Eli started, finally looking up at me. When he did his eyes widened and his mouth dropped open. “Wow Marley, you are so beautiful,” Eli grabbed my arms and pulled me into him. “I am incredibly lucky that you are my girlfriend,” Eli whispered in my ear, “otherwise there would be some fights happening right now.” I laughed at him.

“Please don’t cause violence because of me,” I murmured, hugging him tightly.
