#####Sam pov#####

   I started to drive Samantha and I down the road. "So, what do you want?" Samantha asked. I sighed. "I need your help with a gift for (name)." I said. "What did you get her?" She asked. "I'm making her a prom." I said. Samantha smiled wide. "That's amazing." She said. I smiled proudly. "You think so?" I asked. "Yeah! (Name) never went. She was always super disappointed about it too." She said.

   I parked in the malls parking lot. "Let's go figure this out." I said as I got out of the car. We walked into the mall.

   "What should I get her?" I asked. We walked by a cards section. Samantha grabbed a huge card. "What about this?" She asked. I took the card. "What if I made it even bigger? Like, I got a bunch of cards and taped them all around?" I asked. She gasped. "That would be amazing." She said.

   We started picking cards out. "They can't say specific stuff." I said. She picked up a card with two rings on it. "Yea- oh, no." I said. She laughed. "Yeah, not that." She said. We both laughed.

   We got the cards and started walking to another store. "So where are you having this prom?" Samantha asked. "I don't know." I admitted. I thought for a moment. "My friend just moved out of his apartment, it's all empty in there." I said. "Yeah. That would be good." She said.

   "Okay, we have the card. We have the location. Now, I need a suit. She needs a dress." I said. Samantha and I walked to a fancy clothing store. We slit up. I got my suit and Samantha got (name)'s dress. We met back up at the check out. Samantha set a red dress with white shoes on the counter. I paid and we left the store.

   "Now, you need a way to ask her. Like, with candy or something." Samantha said. We went to the next store and got a bunch of Hershey bars. I also got red and white streamers.

   I heard a knock on my door. "Come in." I said. Sam walked in. "Hey Colby, can I barrow your disco ball?" I asked. I gave him a questioning look. "Yeah but, why?" I asked. "Yesterday, Samantha and I got a bunch of stuff for (name), I just need a disco ball to tie it all together." He said. I was confused but I just shrugged. "Okay." I said. "Thanks man." Sam said before leaving.

   I stayed in my room for a while longer before getting bored. I decided to walk downstairs. I looked out the window to see an eight foot high platform. I walked outside.

   "Cooolllby, look what I diiid." Elton said. "Oh my gosh. What is that?" I asked. "This is (name)'s present." He said. He turned to the people building it. "Can he go up real quick?" He asked. They nodded.

   I walked over and climbed up the ladder. "This is so high." I said. "Jump." Elton said. "No. I have my phone and I have my wallet." I said. "If you jump, I'll do a back filp right after you." He said. I took my valuables out of my pockets and took of my shirt. I jumped in.

   "Whoa!" I yelled as I resurfaced. Elton kept his word and did a back flip after me.

   You and Sammie were driving home from the gym. You phone chimed, signaling a text. "Can you read that for me?" You asked Sammie as you drove. "Yeah." she said. She picked up your phone and read aloud. "Elton says, 'Come home, put on your swim suit and meet me at the pool'." She said.

   You did as Elton had told you. You went home and put your swimsuit on. You walked to the pool to see most of the housemates and Jay. You also saw a eight foot high diving tower with a shark painted on it. "Wow." You said. "Happy almost-birthday!" Elton yelled.  "Elton, you did this?" You asked. He nodded. "Thank you!" You said.

   "Go ahead, jump off." Elton said. You climbed to the top. You did a three sixty off the tower.

   After you, everyone started jumping off and doing tricks. You climbed up again. "Yo, this is sick." You said to Corey. "Yeah." He said. "You two should do a trick!" Aaron yelled at you from the pool. "Like what?" You yelled back. Before he could respond Corey picked you up and jumped into the pool.

   You both laughed when you resurfaced. You playfully punched him in the arm before swimming over to Sammie. "This is so much fun." You said. "Tell me about it. Your new friends are awesome." She said as she watched Colby do a flip into the pool. "Yeah, I still can't believe Elton did this." You said. "I can. Don't you see hard he's trying to impress you?" She asked. You shook your head. "No. That's not like Elton." You said. "Really? 'cause every time he does a flip or trick, he looks at you to make sure you were watching. And you should have seen the look he got when Corey picked you up." She said.

   After a day of swimming and diving, everyone was tiered. Colby, Corey and Aaron went inside and Jay went home. You and Sammie sat on the platform for a while. "You're about to have company." She said, gesturing to Elton, who was walking towards the platform. She got off the platform and walked inside.

   Elton climbed up and sat next to you. "Whatcha thinkin' about?" He asked. "Nothing really." You said.

   "Thank you, by the way." (Name) said as she looked out over the water. "You're welcome. You deserve this." I said. "No I don't." She laughed. "Come on, yes you do. You've made life here so much better and I'm thankful to have you." I told her. She gave me a shy smile.

   After a moment of not saying anything, I broke the silence. "You know what? I never, ever planned to like you this much and I never thought you'd be on my mind this often. My life has not been the same since I met you. You make my heart race without doing anything. You take my breath away. I would do anything to make you smile. I have the perfect life now that you're part of it." I said. (Name) had I light blush on her cheeks. She smiled slightly. "What are you saying?" She asked in a soft voice. "I just think that you-" I was cut off by her phone ringing. She hit decline call. I cleared my throat. "As I was saying, the way I feel-" the phone rang again. This time, she answered.

   "What?" She asked as she put the phone to her ear. "You didn't answer any of my texts all day, where are you? ... huh? ... Why? ... okay, fine. ... yeah." She hung up the phone and stood up. "Sorry Elton, I have to go." She said. I felt something inside me sink. I gave a little shrug. "No worries." I said.
