"honey, they're here!" my mom called.  i took a deep breath and and headed out of my room, down the stairs.  when i hit the bottom step, i turned the corner and saw all of my friends standing together, talking.

"hey guys," i said, causing them to turn around.  there he was.  mattia polibio, a.k.a my boyfriend since freshman year.

"holy shit," he mouthed.

"are we ready to go?" i asked.  everyone nodded.

"wait! where do you think you're going without taking pictures first?" my mom asked.  i sighed and smiled.  everyone got with their dates, me with mattia obviously, and posed for pictures.  

"you look so beautiful right now," mattia said lowly.  i blushed and looked up at him, smiling.

"thank you.  you look amazing."

"well, i try," he said, causing me to laugh.  after that, my mom had us do a couple of basic prom poses and took a bunch of pictures.  

"alright, alright, i'm done," she finally said. 

"thank you mami.  i will see you later," i said, walking up to her and giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"okay.  have fun.  but not too much fun," she said.  that's her favorite line, "ooh, wait!" she pulled my arm back as i was walking away.

"if you do have some fun, use this.  please," she said, slipping something into my hand.  i took a peek and saw a shiny golden wrapper.

"ma!"

"what? i just want you and mattia to be safe."
