It was hardly believable that it was finally the end of high school already. After four years of good memories and hardships, it was finally over, and now he had to kiss it goodbye and move on. Kodi wanted to believe he loved it, but the truth is, it wasn't until probably his junior year did he actual began to tolerate the ignorant people and the stupid routine. People became less of a worry once he realized it didn't really matter what they though and he was more into hanging out with his friends that he trusted; including the three that have stood by him since day one. After that ski trip, he could never appreciate their loyalty more than anything else. It was probably one of the few good things that came out of high school that he wished to keep forever. That and the one girl he truly fell in love with.
Their trip to Hawaii only made everything better. He would spend time with Ryan, Kennedy and Reba and have a blast doing whatever they please. He would show them around his town and take them to the best spots on the beaches. Maybe even head out to the bars and get drunk one of those nights. It really had been far to long since his the last time he was there and now he was beginning to reminisce his time with his family before he left. He couldn't tell how much he missed them, his mother, his sister, his brother and everyone else. It didn't even scare him to think that he was bringing three strangers along and show up at their house; knowing that his family wouldn't have minded it in the first place.
The prom only made it tolerable for him to wait at least one more day before hopping on that plane and begin his summer. It was now forty five minutes to the party and he was already showered and dressed; adjusting his cuffs as he faced the mirror. His deep red vest was buttoned up over his white dress shirt; which had been tucked in and buttoned up as well. He slipped his black dress coat on and adjusted the black tie that and tucking it under his vest. He was ready; and without another few moments to check, he turned around to his bureau spritzed cologne on his neck and wrists and grabbed the keys to his car before heading down stairs to the front door. "Don't leave just yet.." the voice of his father called out to him from the living room. Kodi stopped in his tracks and turned around as his father approached him. He took one long look at him, adjusting his coat a bit before giving a slight smile. "You have fun now. but don't try anything stupid." he said. Kodi merely shook his head and chuckled "Thanks, I'll see you later." he said and turned around and walked out the front door.
Without hesitation, he got in his car; a 1969 black Chevy Camaro; and started it before drove off towards Kennedy's house, knowing that's where Reba had mentioned she would be.

"Mmmm. Prom night, the greatest night of your life." Kennedy's mother had always told her, however, her mother nor her father were here to share in this moment with her. The huge house was virtually empty, besides herself and Reba, and even though it was a matter of minutes before the boys arrived, Kennedy had yet to dress herself.
Currently she ran down the hallway, wearing only a pair of black lacy booty shorts,and a black camisole. Her hair and makeup were already complete, but Ken knew she would be needing the help of Reba to squeeze into her magical dress. It wasn't that Ken didn't fit, it was just the fact that the dress was well, more like a contraption then a dress. Rounding a corner,and sliding on the hardwood floors into her bedroom, Kennedy stopped dead in her tracks, examining her sexy curls in the mirror. Her dress was so over the top, she wasn't planning on wearing jewelry, and she kept her makeup at a simple smokey eye.
As Kennedy eyed the dress hanging in her closet, she let out a long sigh, placing her hand on her hip and re-thinking all the events that led her to this exact moment. The past six months had been a whirlwind, but everything resulted in her happiness. She had Ryan on her arm, and Kodi and Reba to keep her cracking up at every twist and turn in her life. Kennedy was forever grateful to her friends, for keeping her head screwed on her shoulders, and a smile on her lips.
Slowly pulling the pink gown from her closet, Ken slipped off her camisole, and stepped into the dress, pulling it up over herself,and attempting to get in it alone. It was a bit risky, the only one who had actually seen it so far was Reba, so Ken was very curious to see what everyone else would think.
"REBAAAAAAAAAAA!" She called helplessly, as she was unable to really get in alone. "I NEED YOU!!!"

The hardwork that Reba had put in for the entire year had finally paid off. Graduation was in sight, she still had her awesome friends, an even more awesome boyfriend, and had her family. School had become redundant and boring and if it hadn't been for the three of them, Reba didn't know how she would have made it this far. Now it was time for prom and while she usually found herself calm, cool and collected, Reba was a nervous wreck. For two weeks, she'd been walking in her heels to become more familiar with them but they still felt foreign to her. She still worried about falling during grandmarch or her dress slipping to expose her bosom. Stuff like this always drove her nuts because she had to make sure every detail was perfect. Either way, Reba still hoped that tonight would be everything she'd ever imagined and then some.
Getting dressed at Ken's house made everything a lot smoother for Reba. To avoid the awkward introductions between her sister and father to Kodi, she'd opted to get ready at Kennedy's. Besides, she'd told her father she'd be spending the night there before their flight. And she was also a little insecure about her living conditions, especially after seeing Kennedy's magnificant home. One day, Reba thought as her dark eyes roamed around the room, I'm going to live like this. When she heard Kennedy call for her, Reba snapped from her thoughts and trotted down the hall. "It's so beautiful, I'm jealous." She too had not dressed, a little scared that she would ruin it. "I don't even want to put my dress on or my bra for that matter." Reba carefully laced the dress up, tying the smooth fabric into a neat bow. "There. I'll need your help in a moment." She looked up at the clock on the wall, "Damn, the boys will be here any minute and I need to get dressed pronto." Reba ran back down the hall and proceeded to drop her robe. Removing the red dress from the garment bag, Reba cautiously stepped into the dress, admiring the way it snuggly fit her hips and clutched her curves in the mirror before returning to the room Kennedy was in. "Zip me."
Her make-up was minimal with her usual eye-liner and a nice red lip, but she'd changed up her hair a lot. Reba bowed her head forward, letting the hair fall into her face. "We're going to have so much fun Kennedy!" Reba let out a girlish squeal.

For Ryan, the last few months had been…stressful. He had been forced to spend the rest of the basketball season, sitting on the bench and cheering his team on. It was pure torture, not being able to play because of his stupid leg. He had been working on talking with college scouts, showing them what he had been able to do in the past and what he would be able to do once he recovered. His chances with somewhere like Kentucky or Kanas had pretty much been flushed down the toilet…which sucked. Luckily, there were still some of the good colleges out there that were looking to offer him scholarships. He would be making a final decision in the next couple of the weeks…another thing to feel stressed about.
After months of sitting around and physical therapy, his leg, at least, was finally healed up. In fact, he had just received the all clear earlier in the day. He could really start playing basketball again! Of course, it would take some time to get back into his previous skill level. It was probably going to be what he spent most of his summer doing…working out and playing basketball. He would have to make sure he was at the top of his game once more so he would be fit to play at the end of the fall. He was ready to get out of high school and go off and do great things with his life.
That was all in the future though. Sure, the near future, but right now…there were other things to be focusing on. Such as prom. Though he would never admit it, he was actually slightly nervous. Things with Kennedy had really been going great. He honestly couldn’t remember the last time he had been in such a long lasting relationship or even cared about someone so much. It was all kind of new to him, this ‘serious’ relationship thing. Still, she had been by his side through and through the last few months, helping him to recover and with the basketball thing and…everything. He wanted prom to be perfect. It was kind of hard for it not to, considering she was going with him but since he was such a perfect guy, he had to make it a perfect night.
Dressed in his white tuxedo, with his pink tie and vest (the pink had taken some convincing but he had finally obliged) and his dark-brown hair in its usual gelled style, he personally thought he looked pretty hot. That had been the whole point of a white tux. It looked sharp, made him stand out more…he looked pretty hot in white. Add a dash of cologne and that perfect, white smile, Ryan Reese was ready to rock the world. Of course his parents had to fuss over him, like parents did, but he finally made it out the door. It took only a moment for him to climb into his red Mustang (early graduation gift) and take off down the road at a speed that was most definitely not legal.
In a few months, he would be off at some college. He would be away from his friends and hopefully living up his basketball dreams. Tomorrow, he would be heading to Hawaii to have one last vacation with the greatest people ever. He would certainly not be participating in any reckless activities that might cause injury…for once in his life. But that was all in the future. Tonight was prom night: his last high school dance. Tonight was going to be amazing.

The drive thankfully his house was not too far away from Kennedy's so it wasn't long until he had reached her house, pulling over to the side of the curb and parked his car. He climbed out of his car and made his way to her front door. After having gone over to her house so often with the group, it was almost custom to just let himself in; so there was no need to knock After adjusting his jacket a bit, he opened the door, which had been unlocked, and casually stepping into her home, closing the door behind him. "Hello?" he called out, his voice echoing in what felt like an empty home. "I'm here to steal Reba from you." he chuckled. There was a faint noise of giggling and he figured it might have been them. With his hands in his pockets, he followed their voices down the hallways.

Kennedy quickly zipped Reba up, "Girl, you look soooo fine." She giggled, looking Reba up and down. Reba was Kennedy's first true girl friend. She wasn't fake, she put Ken in her place when she needed it, but she also kept her sane from being around the boys so often. The sound of Kodi's voice made her jump, "holy crap!" She exclaimed, not expecting him to come so soon, she quietly poked her head out of the bedroom door, staring at Kodi, "Aww, Reba.. You two are gonna be so cute together. I'm gonna cry.." She trailed off, disappearing for a second to find her camera.

Reba's face flushed at Kennedy's comment, turning around in the mirror several times. "You look sharp too darling!" Reba admired herself in the mirror a few more seconds before putting on her diamond studs. Just as she placed the back on her earring, Reba heard Kodi's voice. With her nerves and hearing his voice, she got instant goosebumbs. "Go away Kodi! I don't want you to see me yet." She grabbed her shoes and began the tedious task of buckling all six buckles. Under the bright light, she could see her arms sparkle from the body glitter she'd lightly sprayed on. When she opened the door, she smiled at him. "You look so handsome." Reba whispered, kissing him softly.

Ryan showed up a few minutes later, thanks to his ridiculously fast speeds. He tended to be a bit of a reckless and aggressive driver. How he managed to avoid cops was a miracle...at least, tonight it was...he wasn't normally so lucky. Parking his car by Kodi's, he took a deep breath, taking a moment to check his hair in the mirror (he could be such a girl sometimes) and make sure he was looking good. A few minutes later, he was heading into Kennedy's house. "Worry no longer. It's okay now...I'm here. The world is saved, the people can breathe, and the party can start!" he called out, mainly in an attempt to figure out where everyone was. Adjusting his tie and fixing his jacket so they were nice and perfect looking (it drove him crazy if it wasn't), he headed towards the sound of voices.

Kodi stood by the door where Kennedy had poked her head out. He scoffed at Kennedy and rolled his eyes at her. "Yeah whatever." he replied before Kennedy disappeared behind the door again. Soon after he heard Reba's voice calling out for him not to step inside. He laughed at her and merely stood off to the side, waiting for her to step out.
he could feel his heart pounding on his chest when she stepped out, looking absolutely stunning in her red dress. For a moment he was at a loss of words before she spoke to him with a whisper. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close as she kissed him before he looked to her. "And you look absolutely beautiful." he murmured, winking before kissing again.
Ryan's shouting however distracted him and he broke away from the kiss, slightly annoyed but nonetheless happy to hear that he finally arrived. "We're over here." he called out to his friend before turning back to Reba with a smile.

As Kennedy was making her way back to the room with her camera in hand, she heard Ryan's voice and her stomach dropped. She was so nervous. Now she was over analyzing every little thing. Her dress was too much, her hair was too curly, makeup too dark. You name it, she over thought it already. Biting her lower lip,she flipped her camera on, "Can I get a shot of you two gorgeous people?" She grinned, pushing her nerves about Ryan seeing her for the first time in her dress away. Last year Ken didn't go to prom, so she wanted to make sure she documented every second of this night.

Reba felt so comfortable in Kodi's embrace, feeling herself relax for the first time in weeks. As soon as Kodi started his kiss, Ryan's announced himself downstairs causing Kodi to break away. Reba put a pout on her face when Kodi turned back to smile, playfully pinching him before turning to Kennedy. "How do you want us to pose? Like the most overdone prom pose?" Reba turned her back to Kodi, placed his hands on her hips and then her's on top of his. "This good enough or closer?" She asked, before looking back at him again. "What do you think? I need a necklace don't I?" Random thoughts invaded her mind. "We're going to dinner first, right?"

Ryan appeared moments later, entering through the door with his arms spread out in some attempt at a god-like pose. "Good evening, mortals," he greeted. Seeing Kodi and Reba, he nodded his head in greeting, a grin on his face. However, his hazel eyes were seeking out one person in particular. Seeing Kennedy, his jaw dropped and he stood there, gaping for a moment. It was only for a moment and in an instant, he had recovered. "Now that is the best dress I've seen in all my experience in high school dances. I feel so under dressed now," he commented, coming over to kiss her.

"Oh come on don't pout, you're making me feel bad." he replied, pouting back before she had pinched him. "Ow." he winced; smiling back at her and laughed. Once Kennedy had faced the two of them with the camera, he turned to face her with Reba standing in front of him.
"Don't worry about the necklace." he winked back, wrapping his arms around her waist and smiled for the camera. After Kennedy had taken the picture he quickly scooped Reba up into his arms, laughing "Come on take a picture of this!" he said while Ryan had walked in and said hello. "Ryan, hurry and make Kennedy take the picture so I can take yours!" he called out with a wide grin before looking down to Reba. "Just relax and don't worry so much about dinner and everything. Make a funny face at the camera, come on." he looked to her eyes, a glint of happiness as he smiled to her. "I'll do it if you do it."

Reba smiled back at Kodi before she was scooped up into his arms, letting out a scream. "Do you not realize I don't want my dress all wrinkly and rumpled before the dance? It has to be perfect." Reba lightly scolded, but she posed nonetheless. "Tonight is about the girls Ryan, no need to try and outshine Ken." Reba joked as Ryan did his own pose. "Are we coming back here to party tonight or going out?" Details, details. Even though she knew the answers, Reba continued to ask anyway. With that, she made her.funny face for the camera.

Kennedy smiled, twirling in a small circle after she'd snapped the picture. "So you like?" She asked shyly, wandering over to Ryan. "You look really handsome," She complimented him. Ken was on a mission tonight, she had told no-one, but she was planning to get some. It was the one thing she wanted out of tonight, and she'd do just about anything to get it. Hopefully the dress helped her work towards this. She looked over at Reba and Kodi and smiled, "I have the place to myself, if you wanted to come back here after wards.. Or go out. I don't mind either way.."
