Patrick Kane and Me

May 8th 2006: Senior Prom

“Nat!”

“Lily!” I screamed at my best friend when she walked through my front door.

Today was our senior prom and we were getting ready together before out dates arrived for tonight. Our active booster club (which I am apart of) and my very nice and kind Daddy was able to get the most amazing place for our senior prom to be. That’s right, The HSBC arena where the Sabres play!

Daddy was able to get the arena rented out for a cheaper price than normal, and he was able to get wooden floor down for a dance floor, all we would really have to cover was the decorations. It was a masquerade ball with all black and white décor with hints of red roses and lights for a romantic touch, all my idea might I add.

“Okay Nat we have lots of work to do before the boys get here.” Lily said putting her dress in the wrapping on my purple polka dotted bed.

“First, let’s start out with hair and makeup, and I know exactly what I’m going to do for you.” She said with a smirk. I trusted Lily with my life no doubt but I also trusted her with my hair and makeup. Lily was planning on being a beauty stylist for some French salon downtown, which is only where the best stylists go.

“Alright let’s do it!” I said plugging my IPod into the speakers and blasted our music. We laughed and sang as we did each other’s hair and makeup. When I was doing Lily’s hair I was getting told every step of the way so her hair would be as perfect or even more than mine, as she said.

We both changed into our dresses, mine was a red strapless dress with simple sparkles. The top had a nice wavy lining of it in red rubies. I had my mask too, it was red and black with a red feather on one of the sides, again lined with red rubies.

“Lils? Are you ready yet? Come on I wanna see your dress!” I said leaning against the bathroom door she was in. “Just a sec Nat almost ready!”

Then she walked out. She was gorgeous. She had a gold strapless dress with a little bit more of a design on it then mine had. But it was still subtle; her mask was gold with silver rhinestones and it had a handle to it unlike mine that had a clear elastic piece to keep it all
together.

We both went over to the mirror in my room and took a look at our creation. Not to be self centered but we looked so hot! Our hair was perfect; mine was up in a bun with my bangs down and curled more of an old English look to it. Lily’s was half up and half down, and the down part was curled, which I nailed perfectly if I don’t say so myself.

“Girls your dates are here!” My mom called from downstairs, “Okay Mom, just stall them get Dad our there he’ll know what to do!” I didn’t see her but I know she rolled her eyes at that comment. “Honey the girls want you to stall.” I heard her say to Dad.

The boys walked in and sat down on the couch and started talking to my dad about his expectations for my date Tyler and Pat’s expectations for Lily just because Lily was like a second daughter to him. You are probably wondering why I’m not going with Pat.
I mean we have been best friends since fourth grade, but once we got to high school we sorta split. Pat became captain of the hockey team his sophomore year, which made the seniors jealous. So by senior year he sorta became a miniature douche, just because he was big headed about his popularity. So when I asked him about why he asked Lily out he said that because she was the cheerleading captain it was his “destiny” for high school to go to prom with Lils.

So I ended up going with Tyler who had this huge crush on me since freshman year. But I was fine with it, he’s cute, he’s funny, he plays hockey, it’s all good. But seriously, the only reason I was okay going with him was because he was Pat’s best friend, so it would be cute because it’d be the whole cute double date best friends’ thing.

We both walked down the gorgeous stair case with our masks on. You see our plan was to see if the guys would notice the difference between us. I loved my stair case; it’s because it starts out as one and then splits into two which made our entrance even hotter.

“Hi boys,” we both said at the same time (that wasn’t planned). “Hey Nat, Lily you both look beautiful.” Lily and I both looked at each other and smiled, “Pat do you even know who is who?” I asked the curly blonde boy. “Well, I didn’t before but now that the beautiful girls speak I know who you are Natalie.” He winked at me.

“Hey Ty, you look very handsome tonight.” Tyler was always a quiet one. He talked but if it was necessary for just a one word answer he’d make some eye roll, or hand gesture or some other type of body language. But that’s what made him so cute.

“Okay so what do you think of our masks that you picked out for us?” Ty finally said as they both put their plain black and silver masks on, “Can you tell who’s who?” I thought for a second acting dumb. “Hmm let’s see the last time I saw Pat he had blonde curly hair that stuck out no matter what he wore on his head. Lils?”

“Yes Nat,”

“Which gentleman would you say have the dark hair that covered over his pretty brown eyes? Ty or Pat?”

“Well Nat, I’m gonna have to say this guy right here is Pat, because of his blonde locks.” She said poking at Pat’s chest.

“Well than that means that this guy right here must be Ty.” I said poking at his chest. “Ow stop it Nat you’re gonna give me a bruise.” I giggled, “No I’m not you have strong hockey tough skin, it will take a lot to bruise you.”

“Okay everyone picture time!” My mom was always excited for any type of photo opportunity. We actually have two large bookshelves dedicated to just photo albums of Pat and I. We all lined up by the fireplace, Tyler, Me, Pat, and Lily in that order. “Okay say cheese!”

Once we got to the dance Pat and Ty were already being greeted by the hockey team and their dates, while Lily and I were hitting up the dance floor together. Then a slow song would come and go we’d dance with our dates and they’d leave again to go somewhere but we really didn’t mind too much.

The party started to wind down, and Ty came up to us, “Hey Ty what’s up?” He looked a little nervous but he managed to get through it, “Yeah well um, some of the guys brought booze and Pat being the party animal he is decided that he was gonna be a leader and ended up
getting wasted…” He trailed off.

Lily looked worried but I was under control, “Where is he?” I said in a monotonous tone, “Outside, in the front entrance.” I took a deep breath, “I’ll go get him.” I started walking outside, “Oh wait Nat, and take my jacket you won’t last that long without it.” I thanked him and made my way outside.

“Oh hey Nat! What are you doing outs here at this time… Shouldn’t you be inside partying with Ty, cause you know, he really, really, really likes you.” He grabbed the collar on Ty’s jacket. Wow he smelled so bad, “Like a lot. Oh hold that thought Nat, gonna be sick.”
He turned to the side and puked his guts out, just great. Usually with puke I’d be freaking out but this isn’t the first time he’s done this. When he became captain the first thing he did was throw a party and what did he do? He got dumb ass drunk, then homecoming, and then the winter formal, and now prom.

“Ya know Pat, when I pictured prom I pictured us together outside, alone.” He started to fall asleep with his head on my lap, “but I didn’t picture you drunk.” I said messing with his blonde hair. Then Ty and Lily came outside too and sat down next to me. “Ohmygod what is that smell?” Lily said disgusted, “What do you think Lils?”

“Ewwww, I think I’m gonna go back inside now. I’d really like to join this love fest but not gonna happen.” Lily is a wuss, a sissy, a wimp, and other words that make her sound like a
pussy but without saying it, oops ended up saying it, oh well.

Ty sat down next to me and put his arm around me, I was so tired that I put my head on his shoulder. “Thanks for staying out here with me Ty.” I really meant it too; I mean who wants to be outside on prom night alone with some drunken guy? “Yeah no problem, I really don’t want to spend another second in there with those guys, they are making complete fools of themselves in there.”

“So what’s the problem with that? Pat makes a fool of himself all the time and look where it gets him. Outside, drunk, and asleep, who doesn’t want that?” I said with a smile. “I don’t know, I’d want to be in his position right now, asleep, on your lap, with you playing with my hair. All good things” I blushed, Ty was always a lot better acting than Pat was and more courteous.

“So why don’t we get him up and go to the car. I think we’ve had enough excitement for the night.” He said breaking the silence.

“Good idea. Pat wake up!” I said lightly hitting his face. “Wha--, huh? Mom?” Pat said finally waking up. “Alright, come on Pat get up, we’re going home.” He groaned, “But the party’s just starting, gosh Natalie why do you always ruin the fucking fun for me!” I rolled my eyes, “Pat, it was your fault you got drunk half way through my senior prom, now let’s go.” I stood up and stuck my hand out for him he took it and we led him to the car.

“Alright, I guess I should probably go get Lily. Ya know she’s probably grinding up on one of the football players anyway.”

I got back into the building and there they were clear as day, making out on one of the chairs was Lily and the quarterback Brad, “Hey Brad,” No answer, “Brad!” He quickly pulled apart from her and stared at me like deer in headlights, “Since you’re kinda in the middle of something can you bring her home once you’re done?” He nodded his head and went back
to Lily.

I walked back out to the car, “Well, it’s just gonna be us three. Lily is getting a tongue bath from Brad.” I rolled my eyes, Lily is my best friend and all but she goes through boys like she does money. Tyler didn’t seem to be too disappointed that Lily was getting a ride home from someone else. He opened my side of the car for me like a gentleman, “Than you sir,” then quickly got in his side and drove off.

Ty parked in my driveway and came over and opened the door for me. “Thank you Tyler for an interesting evening.” I said with a smile, he gave me small half smile an without warning he kissed me, and I kissed him back. Once we separated he looked at me with his big brown eyes, “I know that you’re kinda hoping for Pat to do that but--,” I cut him off, “Wait, you know I like Patrick?” He nodded his head.

“For awhile now, but Natalie, I’m hoping you will give me a chance, please?”
I nodded my head, “Okay cool, so movies Friday?”

“Yeah I’d like that,” I said walking backwards towards my front door. “Okay g’night Natalie Vaughn.”

“G’night to you too Tyler Smith.”
