Veronica and Zara made way for the door when the last bell rang. They had been talking non-stop about prom, and soon prom fever had spread through the school.
Teachers had a difficult time teaching students who would talk of nothing else. The city's dance classes suddenly saw a rise in dance enthusiasts as prom season arrived. Shops began offering attractive discounts and displaying the best collection to entice students.
Zara had never seen Veronica so excited in life. For once, she didn't mind her chirping about boys; it's all that any other girl talked about anyway. Veronica blabbered on and on while Zara took out her books to start completing her homework.
Veronica had taken matters into her own hands and had secretly spoken with Rose to shell out some cash to buy a dress for Zara.
Veronica shut Zara's books and shoved them in her bag. "Are you even listening to me? We have to go shopping."
