10 Days to Prom

The Day Before Prom

"Good heavens! What are we supposed to do there?", Henry said, irritated.

"We can stay with each other. Dad wants me to wear the suit he wore to his prom. I have already tried it on. You can't believe how handsome I was looking with that suit on.", Dave said, proudly.

Sunday, they were in the sitting room at Rohan's house once again for a last sleepover before graduation. Chris and Elena were sitting with them doing homework. Henry was busy helping them and Dave's suggestion of going to prom annoyed him a bit.

"Take Elena with you, Henry.", Chris said, without looking up from his notebook.

"Is that allowed?", Henry asked, all of a sudden interested.

Rohan stifled his laugh. Dave smiled and said,

"She is 13 for god's sake. Are you a pervert?"

"It's alright. She doesn't look 13.", Chis said pointing at her boobs.

Rohan glared at Chris which made him return to his notebook. Elena slammed her notebook on the table and said,

"Homework is done.", she looked at the boys and continued, " What were you guys saying?"

"Would you want to go to prom with Henry?", Rohan asked her, innocently.

Elena looked at Henry's eyes full of anticipation. She said,

"I would. But I am 13. And Henry isn't a pervert, is he?"

All of them realised she was pretending to concentrate on homework and she heard all of it. Henry closed his eyes and fell on Dave's lap as if absorbing all the embarrassment inside his body. Rohan smiled mischievously. Dave looked away closing his eyes trying not to laugh. Chris pretended to be immersed in his homework. Elena took her books and left the room.

"She is the one who wants to marry Rohan and I turn out to be the pervert!", Henry said, sitting up once again. Dave patted his head and said,

"I told you. At the end it will only be the two of us, Henry."

Henry leaned his head on Dave's shoulder, gloomily. Dave put his arm around him.

"Goodness! Just kiss, already!", said aunt Lily, who stopped, on her way to the fridge, abruptly after witnessing them being like that.

Hearing this comment all of them started laughing. Aunt Lily being surprised at this response to her comment resumed her work.

"Dad still doesn't want to talk to me.", Mike said, lying on the floor in his room, his phone next to him was on speaker mode.

"What did he say?", asked Rohan.

"Well...mom told him about you and your family. He was a bit interested when he heard the band's name. I guess he knows about them too. But he is still not talking to me. I don't understand what he is trying to prove.", Mike said in a sullen voice.

Mike heard a sigh from the other side. He said again,

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I was just thinking. I need to do something tomorrow.", Rohan said, amidst the screams of a few people.

"Don't stress yourself out. I am the problem. I will figure it out. By the way, what's happening there?", Mike asked about the screams.

"Oh here? Sorry, I should've gone out to talk to you. They are all playing board games. I just played one game and thought of checking on you. Henry and Dave are also here. We should do one more sleepover with you next.", Rohan said, the screams weren't audible anymore.
