"Hurry up Emily! We need to get your hair done!" Mom yelled. I finished my simple make-up. I only applied mascara to my eyelashes and a soft pink flush to my cheeks. Mom walked in with Suzy, they curled my hair and made a messy bun. I like it.

It was about 8 o'clock and my prom started in 30 minutes. "Damn! I'll be late" I thought to myself. I went up to my closet and took out my dress and high heels and I put them on.

"C'mon Emily! Let's leave now!" dad yelled. I tried to run but I couldn't due to the high heels. I bet I looked quite awkward and ridiculous. I made my way to the living, as fast as I could and my parents were already waiting for me in the van. The Haner were already in theirs. I haven't seen Brian in his tuxedo though.

Thankfully, my school was really close to my house, like 15 minutes away. "We arrived" mom said.
"Run Emily! We're about to start" the principal yelled and I walked as fast as I could and found my seat next to Andy, who was sitting next to Joanne.

"Hi" he said shyly.

"Hi Andy"

"So, did you find a partner?"

"Yes, he is a friend of mine. I met him a few years ago. Don't even worry about it"

"Thank God" he sighed, "I felt so guilty about leaving you. But you know that I've had the biggest crush on Joanna since kindergarden" he said whispering in my ear so Joanne couldn't hear him.

"I know Andy, I am so happy about you two" he smiled and softly punched my arm.

Andy was a good boy, he has been my best friend since 1st grande and Joanna was kinda rude but her feelings towards Andy seemed to be honest.

"So, where's your partner?" Andy asked.

"Uh... I don't know, we arrived together but I had to run because I was late"

The ceremony started and well, I received most of the diplomas and medals, at least my parents were proud of me about this. Once it ended our party started and I went to look for Brian.
I saw someone waving their hands at me. It was Suyz. I walked towards them, these high heels were killing me. Brian was sat down on the floor, when he saw me, he smiled and quickly stood up.

"Let's go dumbass" I told him silently so no one could hear me.

We walked to the dance floor and there was a circe of the popular girls, they were dancing and getting everyone's attention but I laughed because most of them didn't have a date.

"I don't dance" I said to Brian, he laughed.

"neither do I, but let's do some awkward and weird moves" I nodded and indeed, we did awkward moves, everyone were staring at us and actually cheering us, I could see Andy laughing.

3 songs passed and I was already exhausted. My feet were like burning and hurting like hell, we went for some drinks and the slow and romantic songs started.

"ew" I said.

"What? Your drink tastes like shit?"

"What? No!" I laughed, "I said 'Ew' because of the songs"

"Oh... wanna dance?" Brian asked. I could feel my cheeks going red, he grabbed my hand and we went to the dance floor. It kinda reminded me when we first meet. I put my arms around his neck and he put his harms around my waist.

"You're such a nerd" he said.

"fuck no"

"Yeah sure, explain those diplomas"

"I am smart not a nerd"

"Yeah whatever, I got good grades until 4th grade, then I stopped caring"

"Then, you were a nerd, right?" He only rolled his eyes. I rested my head on his chest, he was obviously taller than me, I couldn't wait to grow up.

"I heard you're moving"

"Oh, you heard me fighting with my parents?"

"your dad told us"

"Yep, we will be neighbors"

"You are moving to Huntington?" he nearly yelled.

"... my dad didn't mention that?"

"No, but, I don't understand why you don't want to move to Huntington, it's such a beautiful place"

"I know but, I love here, besides, I wanted to study in John Swett High School"

"And? There are a lot of good schools in Huntington.... NERD!" he laughed and I rolled my eyes.

"well, I barely have friends here. I am not good at making friends, to be honest."

He didn't reply. I guess he didn't know that feeling, he seemed to be a funny guy who makes friends wherever he went to. We danced two more songs and I was feeling sleepy.

"I am tired" I sighed

"It's midnight" he said. Most of the guys were already leaving.

"Let's leave" I said. We walked out of the building. Our parents were outside talking and Brent was sleeping in his dad's lap. When they saw us, they took photos of us, together. We left and went home.

"So, when are we leaving?" I asked. I was expecting a "Never" as an answer but I knew that was impossible.

"Next week" he said. i sighed.

"Okay, when are the Haner leaving?"

"tomorrow, but Brian Sr. is coming next week to help us and he will guide us to our new house.

"Is it pretty? Have you already seen it?" mom asked.

"Yes, it's much bigget and prettier that our actual house"

We arrived home and Brian walked towards me and he gave me a present.

"Open it" he ordered. I walked into the house and sat in the couch, he sat right next to me.
I opened the box, iinside of it were 5 albums, two of them were of Def Leppard and the rest of them were of Pantera, Slayer and Iron Maiden. And there was also a t-shirt, it was black and had the Black Sabbath logo.

"Oh... THANK YOU!" I yelled and hugged Brian.

"I hope the t-shirt fits you. I mean, you're really thin and small and.."

I only stared at him and sarcastically said "Thank you", he put a weird look on his face. I sighed. I went to my room to put my pajamas on. I went to the room Brian and Brent were staying in.

"Brian..." I whispered, trying not to wake Brent up.

"What?" he said loudly but Brent was still sleeping.

"Follow me" I demanded. We went to my tree house.

"So, I want to tell you something about me"

"alright"

"ah, when you said the "you're thin and small" thing, I sarcastically said thank you", he nodded, "well, it's because being this thin has been my biggest insecurity since I can remember, so i really get annoyed when people say I am thin. I don't like it"

He nodded and hugged me, "I am sorry, I promise I won't do it again" "Thank you Brian"

We climbed down the tree and went to sleep.

They left next morning, at least I knew I was going to have Brian and Brent as friends on Huntington.

This whole week was going to be hard as hell.
