Slate thought it would be fun to surprise Holly by asking her to prom. But he didn't want to just ask her, he needed to have some fun with her.
He bought two tickets and put them in her wallet then went to her locker. "Geeze Holly I'm so sorry it looks like they sold out of prom tickets." He leaned against the empty locker next to her's. "I know how much you had your heart on going too." He tried not to burst out laughing.
"Maybe we can do something else that night just you, me and the moon shining down on us."
Where the hell had he heard that? It was beyond cheesy and corny combined!

Holly was in a fantastic mood this morning. She had gotten a good time for her hair and nail appointment for Saturday afternoon for the Prom the night before. She had found her dress two weeks before. It was short, strapless, pink with black accents. She had black heels and gloves to go with it. She couldn't wait.
She was at her locker, clad in a pair of black jeans and a silk sleeveless blouse that hugged her body. The blue eyed blond looked over when her boyfriend walked over, giving him a warm smile as he leaned against the locker next to hers. That smile was gone as soon as the words left his mouth about not being able to get the prom tickets.
"You're kidding me...right?!" She answered, her voice rising a bit. "Tickets went on sale a month ago..and you just now...three days before..go to get them?!" Holly looked at him, anger in her eyes. "So now I get to miss my senior prom because you waited too damn long?" She snapped, slamming her locker shut.
"I don't care what you do that night, but I won't be there.." Hol grabbed her purse and stormed down the hallway away from him.

He let her get a few feet in front of him before he took his wallet out, holding the tickets in his hand.
He went after her wrapping his arms around her waist. "You don't think I'd really let something this important slip by would I?" He held the tickets in front of her. "But if you don't want to go now..." He knew the answer to that.
"I knew the night meant a lot to you and I want it to be a night you won't forget. I uhh even reserved a hotel room for that night, just in case."
"Sorry I made you mad, will you forgive me and go with me to prom?"

Holly was furious right now, and it clearly showed in her walk, her facial fetures. Students moved out of the way of the blond as she headed down the hall toward her next class. She was stopped and held in place by a pair of arms, and a familiar aftershave smell. She fumed, breathing heavily.
"I so do not wanna talk to you right now.." She snapped before he could speak. "All you had to do was say you couldn't afford the tickets and i would have gotten them ages ago...." She paused, seeing Slate holding out the aforementioned items in his hand in front of her. She carefully reached out and took them from him, looking at them as if to ensure their authenticity.
"You..are such a jerk.." She muttered softly, feeling the anger leave her as she relaxed more against his body. "I'm gonna take these and maybe see if Nick wants to go..." She grinned, turning around to look at Slate. Was she joking? Fully. An eyebrow lifted at him. "A hotel room?" She asked. "What on earth are we going to do with a hotel room? I don't have a curfew that night.." Holly looked up at him, wondering what was going on in that well mannered head of his. They'd discussed the topic of intimacy several weeks before after their..incident, and had both agreed to wait till Slate was honestly ready to try it again.
Holly pretended to think about wheter she was going to forgive him and go with him on Saturday. "I suppose..." She drawled out, making it appear as if she were doing it reluctantly, when she honestly was not mad at him anymore, and that good mood began to return.

Slate could feel her release the tension that had built up inside Hol. "He told me he was busy." Slate replied quickly, with a grin.
"Well part of it is in case there's a little too much to drink and the other is just a way to celebrate afterward." He blushed slightly. "And my folks said that I should sieze the day especially if it involves someone I truly care about."
"I suppose I could find someone else to go with." He said as he plucked the tickets from her hand with a grin. "Though at this late time I just don't know who I would ask or would want to be in a hotel room with me and room service."

Holly's dark blue eyes met tht of her boyfriend and her full lips fell open in a small show of shock. "Slate Cummings...I am aghast that you think I would drink on Prom night.." She teased him, though those full lips curled into a smile. "You should really do what is in your head and your heart when it comes to...that...and not really rely on other people. I'm glad your parents did the carpe diem thing, but if it's not something you are ready for..." She trailed off, giving him a small smile as she let her fingers caress his jaw.
"Hell no you will not find anyone else to go with you!" She snatched the tickets back, tucking them into the safety of her bra, knowing he would not dare go there in public! "Prom and afterward sound great..even if we just kick back and relax in said hotel room with room service..I should remember my suit...we can go super late night swimming.."

"Just a little bit, I'm no lush." He commented. Besides I would like to remember the last night of youth before heading into the real world." He cast his eyes down then back up at Holly. "I guess I just needed that extra boost is all. I know the next time something happens, I'll be ready."
He jumped slightly as Hol snatched the tickets from his paws. "Ok ok you win, I'll take you to prom with you and do the after prom thing." He tilted his head slightly. "Who says we'd have to leave the room at all, could just wear the suit while in the room."

Holly smiled, looping her arms up around Slate's neck, several lower classmen watching then with jealousy written all over their faces. "no...Graduation is going to be the big night..Prom..we still ahve a few weeks of school left...Grad night..it's all on.." She grinned.
She met his dark eyes warmly. "You say you'll be ready..but if you back out of..it..I won't be upset by any means.." She promised him. Hol was crazy about the Southern boy, she really was. She might actually love him, she wasn't fully sure.
"You're damn right you'll take me to prom and the after prom stuff." She grinned, nodding her head one in emphasis. She tucked a smirk up into the corner of her mouth. "So Im guessing you want me to pack an entire overnight bag?" She asked him, her fingers curling into the back of his hair. "Or..should I not bother packing any clothing at all?"

Slate was liking the way Hol was thinking. Graduation the official welcome to the adult world. It was scary as shit but everyone had to face it sooner or later.
"I'll hold the same for you. Magic word is "no". I won't be offended, I promise, I can't answer for the other parts of my anatomy however." He grinned. He was falling for her, just like in the cartoons.
"An overnight bag would be fine, just need clothes for the next morning is all as far as I'm concerned." There was a devilish grin on his face.
"Oh god I almost forgot, dinner is your call that night, I can either take you out some place nice or my mom said she would fix a typical southern dinner that night, and let me tell you, you probably won't walk after eating a southern meal."
