Mason jars, with lights inside each of them, are hung from a line between the
trees. They twinkle in the night sky as the air moves them gracefully, but what I notice most is the
enormous gold star hanging in the center with the word “Prom?” written on it.
When I look down there is a blanket spread out on the ground with a basket sitting next to it.
When I look back up at Barrick, he’s holding a small box. He opens it and displays a gold ring with
a single cut out star in the middle.
“Barrick. It’s beautiful,” I
say.
“Cadence as I look into the night sky, there’s not a star that shines
as bright as you. Can I be your date to Prom?” he questions and I suddenly realize the
amazement of this moment. A boy, who has no desire to go back to high school, is willing to go to
Prom with me.
“I wouldn’t want to go with anyone else, Mr. Carpenter,” I
say as he takes my hand and slides the small star ring on my right index
finger.
“Cadence, each time you look at this ring, know that your wishes can come
true as long as you lead the way,” he says.
“Right now, I only want to be in this moment with you,” I say as he
pulls me in and our lips crash together. I can’t get close enough to him and I can’t
express my thoughts so we let our lips tell each other how we’re feeling. Suddenly, I hear
a squeal and jump away from Barrick. I turn and see Jade jumping up and down next to
Aaron.
“Oh my gosh y’all, that was the sweetest moment
ever!”

Casey Peeler grew up in North Carolina and still lives there with her
husband and daughter.
Growing up Casey wasn't an avid reader or writer, but after
reading Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neal Hurston during her senior year of high school, and
multiple Nicholas Sparks' novels, she found a hidden love and appreciation for reading. That
love ignited the passion for writing several years later, and her writing style combines real life scenarios
with morals and values teenagers need in their daily lives.
When Casey isn't writing, you can find her near a body of water
listening to country music with a cold beverage and a great book.
