MATRIC DANCE EVENING
As i got out of the shower I walked to my bathroom mirror that was covered with steam than it was time to dress up for matric dance.
I put on my (black formal slim fit pants, wore my long sleeves white shirt, put on some black cufflinks, my black watch, black bowtie, my formal red vest and finally I put on my white sneakers) and did the final touches to my hair and I took my black mask.
I looked myself in the mirror "Not bad for a single gay guy" I wanted to check on Nick but I had to give him so space but that didn't mean this moment didn't suck not have my best friend around.
Then I headed out as I walked down the stairs my parents and Scott were waiting for me it was like walking down the stairs of the met gala they were smiling my mom had tears in her eyes as if I'm getting married my dad taking pictures I told myself I'm the luckiest gay guy to have a family like mine no date, no boyfriend but I have them and they will always have my back.
"Fashion mode time" Scott said knotting his head and smiling
"Sweetheart you look so handsome" crying her eyes out
"Thanks mom" hugging her so tightly
"You look great son your fashion mode time never disappoints even though they come with a highly cost price" we laugh "but they worth every time I see a smile on your face."
"Thanks dad" I look at Scott "What do you think did I take the price?"
"Price you just took the platinum" we all laugh looking at Scott
"Okay pictures time, Sweetheart you stand on the stairs" they took pictures after pictures then it was time to head out
"Hey Ty there is a surprise for you outside" my dad said
"What is it?" being curious of what could be the surprise I hoped my dad didn't look a date for me.
"Let's go and see"
As I opened the front door there it was Black Audi R8 on the drive thru my jaw dropped "Is it mine?" walking to the car.
"Yeah if your father was a billionaire" my dad said
I turned and looked at him as his hugging my mom and mom hugging my brother
"On my matric dance I want Bentley" Scott said
"You heard that Ty?" My dad whispered I just smiled
"Wow…how did you get it?" I asked
"I rented it out for your matric dance I knew you love it so I thought I should surprise you with it, you like it?"
"It's great" I walked back to my dad and give him a hug "Thanks dad."
"You welcome bud…here" he handed me the keys I walked back the car and I unlocked it I got inside as I close the door I looked at the rear side mirror looking at Nick's room wishing he was in the car with me it was wired going to matric dance without him.
When starting the car and the engine start reviving it was like chocolate cupcake with whipped cream and cherry on top as I reverse the car my parents and Scott were waving at me that moment I really wished my partner in crime was in the car with me.
I drove away on the way my mind drift back to all funny moments I had with nick from our childhood up to our recent all I could do is smile and hope he'll show up tonight
As I pull up at the entrance there was a red carpet, junior students taking pictures, photographers, Chauffeurs to park the cars as I get down from the car and walking in the red carpet although I was alone it was the best moment ever and I was not the only one who didn't have the date.
I got inside and walked towards this big closed doors where two doormen standing in both sides wearing their Black and White uniform.
"Good evening sir and welcome to West coast high matric dance" they opened the doors for me
I smiled at them "Thank you" and walked inside everything was modern , classy, white flowers, fairy lights hanging from the purple glowing ceiling and white cloth droppings, enchanted white forest trees between the glass tables surrounding the white starlight purple glowing led dance floor.
The fashion was off the charts everyone went all out with their outfits and amazing beautiful masks I saw few of my classmates firstly Tommy was wearing (white slim suit) other guys were wearing (different types of tux) some girls were wearing ballroom gowns for the theme of masquerade our teachers were looking sharp everything and everyone looked amazing then I hear someone calling me "Ty" as I turn around its Lian looking beautiful in a backless pink champagne long lace dress with crystal on top and glitzy topknot hairstyle my jaw dropped with no words I just gave her the hug
"Where are the ponytails?" looking at her from top to bottom
"At home"
"You look beautiful and congrats you out looked me today so no complaining, you once said Nick and I dress like we are going for casting but you just took the Oscars" we both laughed
"Thank you, you know I had to try keep up with you and Nick to have killer pictures" I smiled at her "By the way where is Nick?"
"Huh I don't think he'll make it"
"Oh that's too bad and you on the other hand you look handsome as you always do"
"Come on are you kidding me this simple outfit"
"Either way it looks great but I just have a feeling that it's not a complete piece what do you have under your selves Tyler Creek?"
"Nothing" she looked at me with suspicion I just smiled at her because her staring was just too funny.
"Yeah right" she said
"Let's go" taking her hand we walked to our other classmates

"Are you sure you two are my birth parents?" they both laughs
"Yeah shocked huh?" Mr McDowell said nick stare at his dad
"Leave all that, what I want to know is why didn't you tell us before and how long have you known?" Mrs McDowell asked
Nick stand up and sit on the edge of the table facing his parents "Not too long… I had some doubts about my sexuality but last year it became very clear and for not coming out to you I was scared what if people judged me or what if you disappointed on having only one son who turned out to be gay."
"You can never be a disappointment to us son okay…so never think like that again?" Mr McDowell said
Nick looks at his dad "I won't thanks dad."
"What about Tyler?" Mrs McDowell asked and Nick quickly looks up to his mom
"What if he rejects me, what if he only want me to be his best friend only I'm afraid he might not feel the same way I do for him" nick saying with a sad face and look down playing with his fingers
"How would you know if you don't give him a chance by telling him how you feel sweetheart in life you can't give up without even trying first"
"True"
"I think you should tell him how you feel you might be surprised by the outcome hmm…?"
Nick knotted his head "I'll tell him tomorrow."
"Why tomorrow… go now"
"Mom I can't I don't have a suit I wasn't planning to go to matric dance so I didn't go pick it up from Mr Hong store, I can't show up looking so beaten up like this"
"You guys with your fashion mode in that case I guess it's good Tyler informed me in time and I went to Mr Hong store and got your suit" Mrs McDowell said looking at Nick.
Nick looked up at his mom with a shocked , amused expression Mrs McDowell went to the other room and came with suit cover and black mask she walked to and handed it to Nick he putted it on the couch and unzipped it without showing what's inside he just smiled and looked at his parents who are smiling at him
"Go get ready you can still catch prom" Mr McDowell said
