Curtis’ painful break up. I think was more painful for Gabrielle, considering he was already dating somebody else.
“As I was saying… The Couple of the Year is formed by Miss Emma West, our beautiful Prom organizer I really want to congratulate, and Mr. Matt Nicholls, a former student of our high school.”
Emma West… and Matt Nicholls…. What?!
Which Couple? Of the Year ? Matt and I? Matt I- barely -know Nicholls? Couple of the Year? What the hell?!
I wanted to say something, and ask what normal person would vote for us, and then I remembered Matt knew about this and he was proud of this, and I really wanted to say something to him, but he just grabbed my hand, leading me to the stage, without caring we were walking beside my classmates, real, happy couples, unlike us, who were… something.
And then suddenly I was on the stage and I saw every eye in the room waking at me, and Matt smiling like a model on a magazine, and I looked at Gabrielle and I’ve seen the tears she tried to hide, unsuccessfully though, and then Matt pulled me closer to me then kissed me.
And from that moment on, I wasn’t aware of anything else.
Matt was holding me in his arms. I was dancing with Matt, and he asked me what my opinion was. I said I was overwhelmed. Matt was laughing, and running his hand through my hair. His fingers were interlaced with mine… He said it was too loud and crowded and suggested we should go somewhere quiet.
I thought if I felt the cold, refreshing air I will feel better, but I didn’t. I felt goose bumps when I felt the cool air, and Matt tightened his arm around me, and then, like a complete gentleman he was, opened the door of his car and he leaned to me, and kissed me softly, his hand in my hair pulling me towards him.
I had no intention of going home, so he suggested we could hang out at his place and I don’t know why I said yes.
He held my hand all the way through his house, then when we got into the house offered me a drink, and kissed me when we entered in his living room.
I couldn’t even understand my hormones or my feelings, but I know his kisses were somehow too good to be true, addictive actually, and that was the reason and I hadn’t stopped when he started unzipping my dress.

The Hardest Thing
~ M att N icholls ~
I woke up in the morning feeling so good, as if I’ve never slept that good.
A smile curled up on my lips as the flashbacks from the night before began flowing before my eyes. Emma, in her beautiful white dress, looking as stunning as someone could be, with an innocent smile on her lips as she slipped her hand in mine when we arrived at Prom, the way her body involuntary shivered when I pressed my lips against hers for the first time…
I never planned any of this, the only thing I really wanted was for her to enjoy her magical night, and I knew I would do anything I could to make that happen.
But when she was dancing with me, so close, while the slow songs followed their rhythm, I couldn’t stop myself from kissing her. It was somehow in my nature, I guess.
And easily I could admit that our first kiss was the best of my entire life, and that meant a lot, considering how many girls I’ve kissed. But with her everything was so different, so natural and it felt just right.
When I invited her at my place, I had no hidden agenda. I just couldn’t adjust to the thought that my time with her that night was over, and I seriously needed to be around her more.
I am not proud of the fact that we have drank almost an entire bottle of whiskey while laughing because of everything that happened at Prom, Emma was babbling something about some Gabriella, but I couldn’t stop laughing, and neither could she.
But when I moved closer to her, and placed my hand on her back, everything changed from laughter to seriousness . I slowly touched her blushing cheek and leaned to her, pressing my lips on hers. I could’ve managed everything just fine if she hadn’t
