"Giselle." I heard the voice of my little sister at my door. Smiling at my reflection in the mirror I smoothed my dress out with my hands and headed toward my bedroom door to open it.
"Kevvy is here." My three year old sister said. I gave her a smile and grabbed my clutch off my bed before heading out the door.
It was finally here, prom night. I've been waiting for 4 years for this night to come and it finally was here. Unfortunately unlike most of my friends, and most of the population of my school, I don't have a boyfriend to spend the night with. But that's alright because I got my best friend, Paul Kevin Jonas II.
Kevin and I have been friends forever, ever since second grade at least. It was around fifth grade I began having a massive crush on him and it never went away. Around 9 th grade he began being home schooled because him and his brothers were working on there band and everything and before I knew it their songs were on the radio and they were packing up to go live in California.
"So where is your next show?" I heard my mother ask Kevin as I walked down the hallway that was connected to the foyer. Unlike most teens, my bedroom is on the first floor so luckily I didn't have to make that awkward walk down the stairs where the date and parents watch you come down. That is so very cliche.
"It's near Chicago and that will be tomorrow night." I heard him respond. I stood in the hallway for a few seconds, out of sight, until I heard my mother's reply before heading out.
"Kevin!" I said while smiling and walking over to where he was.
"Giselle!" He said while opening his arms for a hug laughing I moved closer as we embraced each other.
"Hugs are overrated Kev." I told him as we broke apart.
"Not today," He replied as he handed me the flowers in his left hand. Smiling, I took the flowers and then gave them to my sister to put in my room while my mother took some pictures.

As we walked down the hallway of the Brownstone Manor a familiar tune began to play.
There she goes again, the girl I'm in love with, it's cool we're just friends
"Do you want to go in now or after the song ends?" I asked Kevin smiling up at him.
"I don't mind." He replied while grabbing my hand and leading me into the room. As we walked into the dark room we were met with a bunch of people on the dance floor dancing away. We made our way to the table which held most of my friends and Kevin’s old friends.
"I was wondering when you two would show up." A voice at the table said. Kevin looked around the table and locked eyes with a red head.
"Missy I haven't talked to you in a while." He replied smiling. Missy stood up and made her way over to where we were.
"Yea, alright Kevin, if you count fifty-five minutes such a long time." My best friend Missy replied, "And how are you Miss I-wish-my-night-could-be-as-good-as-yours-will-be." Missy said with an eyebrow raised.
I smirked and thought back to last week when I said those exact words to her. But when I said them I meant I wish I had an actual boyfriend to spend the night with, I mean don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Kevin with all my heart and I do have a crush on him, but it's different, going as friends and going as a couple. "I'm doing much better thank you very much." I replied as Kevin and I took our seats at the table.

After about six songs of sitting at the table and eight songs of dancing dinner was finally served and the lights went a little brighter, key words being a little. They served pasta with meat or tomato sauce since basically half the senior class is vegetarian, not me though. Twenty minutes later everyone was back on the dance floor dancing and goofing off to the class of '08's theme song, Nobody's Perfect.
As the song ended Kevin and I went over to the drink stand where we both ordered sodas. "That is so funny; I got to tell Miley when I see her next time." He said still cracking up. I laughed and nodded my head as I watched my classmates dance, looking at the couples and seeing how much fun they are having.
"May I have this dance?" Kevin asked me a few minutes later as Stay Beautiful by Taylor Swift came on. Smiling, I took his hand as we made our way to the dance floor.
"Are you having fun?" Kevin asked me as we danced to the music.
"More than I thought I would." I replied taking my head away from his body to look at him.
"Really?" He asked seriously.
"Really really." I replied. Just then, as Taylor started the chorus of the song again, Kevin bent down and gave me the kiss that I always dreamed of having with him. I tightened my grip around him and kissed back.
"You know the song Just friends?" Kevin asked me randomly as we broke apart.
"Yea" I replied looking at him with curious eyes.
"It's about you." He replied and before I got a chance to reply I found myself kissing him, again.
“Ti amo Kevin Jonas.”
“I love you to Giselle Cantoni”
