" You look like a princess.." Myra praised.
Barbara almost cried out of happiness but she held her tears tight.
" Thank you so much Myra. But I can't take this dress. " Barbara gasped with Puzzled Myra.
" Why not ? " Myra inquired.
" How can I attend Prom ? I don't even have a date . " Barbara said sadly.
" Don't worry about a Prom date. You have Brian. " Myra said
" Brian is not my boyfriend. How can I even be sure that he will ask me ? " Barbara asked.
" You and I are the only closet friends that Brian. And of course he can't ask me. You are the one he is so close to. " Myra reasoned.
" How about you, If Brian asks me. Who will you go with ? " Barbara asked.
" I am not attending Prom. ",Myra said.
" Why ? " Myra said.
" Liam is gone. I don't feel like going with someone else . " Myra said sadly.
Barbara Understood what Myra said and held her hand. " Myra I can go with you. " Barbara said.
" No need. I have made up my mind anyway. If I am to attend, I will only come for the final speech. Because I am the one supposed to make it. " Myra said.
Their Friendship grew stronger and it was only two weeks to the Prom party when Brian told Barbara that he wanted to meet her that evening. Most students had begun their proposals already.
Barbara told her friends about that and they assured her that Brian was going to propose to her.
After the classes,Barbara went to the venue which was the School Theater and there were no students there.
" You are here ? " Brian asked on seeing her.
" Yes..Why did you call me here ? " Barbara asked
" I want to show you something. " Brian said and held her hand.
" Come with me. " He said and pulled her to the stage that had closed curtains.
' I think he is really going to propose to me. ' Barbara thought and put a big smile on her face.
When they were there, Brian let go of her hand and opened the curtains only to see a beautifully decorated table wall that had a big red heart on it and around were a number of candles and rose petals.
Barbara smiled not believing it. Brian was going to propose to her. The guy she has been loving all along. She gave a bog grin that tears almost escaped from her eyes.
Brian looked at her and smiled. " Do you like it ? " He asked.
" Mm..its beautiful. " Barbara answered almost shading tears of joy.
Brian looked at the decorations again and said. " It took me three days to organize this place. " he said and looked at Barbara again .
" Do you think that Myra will like it ? " Brian asked making the smile on Barbara's face to face immediately.
" What ? " Barbara asked to make sure she heard it right.
" I want to propose to Myra tomorrow. Do you think she will like it ? " Brian asked.
Little did he know that this broke Barbara's heart into pieces. A tear escaped from her eye.
" Barbara, Are you okay ? Did I upset you ? " Brian asking on seeing her expression.
She dried off the tear and forced a smile. " No, I am fine. I am just so happy and surprised by this so tears of joy. I am so happy for you and Myra. " Barbara said just to show him that all was well.
" Oh, You almost scared me. " Brian said and smiled at her.
" I am so.I am just surprised. " Barbara said trying so hard not to cry.
" So, You are Myra's best friend so I hoped you could what she likes. " Brian said.
' Do you know that I became her best friend to get close to you ? ' Barbara asked in her head and said.
" Of course. She will like it. " Barbara said.
" There's a show tomorrow. Please beg her to come over. I will propose to her immediately after the show in everyone's presence. " Brian said.
" Wow, It's a good idea. " Barbara said.
" I am, I was also thinking of confessing my feelings to her. Do you think it will work ? " Brian asked this time round crushing her into a million pieces.
" You like her ? " Barbara asked.
" Yes..I like her so much" Brian spoke.
" Huh.." Barbara chuckked.
" I know i hid it for so long. " Brian added.
" For how long ? " Barbara asked.
" Since the day I joined this school. " Brian said.
" You know Myra is like a flower. She is very beautiful, attractive, popular, She does well in academics and on top of that she has a loving heart. At first I couldn't tell her how I felt because she was Liam's girlfriend. And now that Liam is gone. I should take my chance. " Brian explained.
" Sure, I will ask her to come tomorrow." Barbara said.
" Thanks then." Brian said.
" If that's all I will leave.." Barbara said.
" I will drop you home."
" No need.." Barbara said to him and forced a smile.
" I am going to meet a friend first. So...good night. " Barbara left Brian there.
She was confident until she reached her room and cried a river.
' I wasted four months just to be with Myra and this is what I get in return ! ' She cursed.
The following day, Barbara took Myra to the theater and the show was done when Brian stepped forward and said.
" Hi guys, I have a simple show for you all. " He begun and they paid attention.
" So guys, There's a girl that I love. Since the day I joined this school. " When he said this all the students begun murmuring.
" He is talking about you . Right ? " Myra asked Barbara with excitement.
" Don't draw conclusions. Lets first hear what he got to say. " Barbara said.
" We know, Its Barbara.." Frank shouted making the students to laugh.
" Guys, Can't you wait for me to finish ? " Brian asked and they became silent again .
" Yeah, There's a girl I love. " He continued.
" She is very beautiful, Very sweet and just like the blight star. " Brian spoke and at the end he looked directly at Myra.
