IT WAS THE night of prom, our last day of high school before I was studying as an interior designer in California at Stanford university far away from home, that's what made the feeling of prom bittersweet.
As I was going away for better things like my career, new experiences and so much more but I would be leaving back the family I had made here my mum, my second mum(Dantes mum), my dad, my siblings and everyone and every memory I made and especially my best friend Dante.
As I stood in the mirror I hoped this night was like all the books I read, magical but I go to a school where the boys think the higher your body count the better you are, so I think I can settle for less.
I wore a dark blue satin dress with spaghetti straps. It had a thigh slit which made me even more in love with myself.
The waist of the dress fit snugly. I paired it with white heels adding 2 inches to my 5'6 height and my normal curly hair was straightened and curled. I was going with Dante even though he had already graduated 1 years before and was only on summer vacation from studying architecture.
His mum had begged me to take him in Spanish and bribe me with Colombian empanadas and who was I to say no to her amazing empanadas.
Whilst my mum begged also begged him and said it to stop me from fornicating. Well jokes on you mum because I want to fornicate with Dante.
Whilst picking up my bag there was a knock on the door
knock
knock
"Torpe"
"come in" I knew that voice and name only belonged to one person

I walked in with a corsage in my hand stepping over the clothes and shoes scattered across the floor. Why is there a clown costume on the floo-nevermind
As I looked up at Aubree I sucked my breath back in.
She had the most genuine wide smile on her face showing her glistening white teeth whilst she did a twirl showing off her beautiful dress before almost tripping on one of her lace underwear.
"sorry let me pick this up" I have no clue what she apologised for but if it is for making me want to stay at home and not let any other man see her then yeah.
"you look gorgeous Princesa"
"Thank you old man," she said, smiling, holding on to my shoulders as I put the corsage on her "How am I the old one, you're the one always saying you need a back massage " she spoke softly as I pinning in the purple flower.
"It's because your hand works wonders on my body and I'm 18 turning 19 soon you're the one who is 20 old man".
"My hands work wonders good to know," I said with a smirk forming on my face.
"All done torpe," I said standing back to look at her one more time and admire her, how long have I been crushing on her like a wimp long enough for sure.
"Let's go," she said by applying her lip gloss. Does she want me six feet under.
I want to make her mine more than ever but we were friends and have been for a long time. I looked at her wrist and saw she was wearing her friendship bracelet and I was wearing mine.
"Aww our bracelets I still can't believe we haven't lost them," she said pouting her glossy lip in the mirror. I wanted to see that lipgloss ruined by me. Okay Dante pull yourself together friends F R I E N D S.
she walked up to me in her heels and said, "promise me we will always be together".
"I promise "
Holding her pinky finger as we both kissed it from out ends of our hands.
"Now let's go," she whispered, trying to shove her latest romance book into her bag "DON'T YOU TELL MUM DANTE," she said with a stern face.
"PUT THAT BOOK DOWN AUBREE" her mum shouted from downstairs."How could she tell?" she said to herself and took one last picture and grabbed my hand towards the door then stopped.
"What's the matter torpe" I say with a confused face twisting my hand to covers hers properly.
"Why do you call me that" she questions putting her white and pink french tips on her perfect waist, "don't avoid my question," I say using it as an excuse to stare into her shining eyes again.
"It's just bittersweet emotions and things I should have said sooner just forget about it let's go" she says in almost a whisper fiddling with her dress.
Before she could step out and show the world what only I wanted to see I caged her between the door and leaned down and whispered "there's a lot of things I want to say and do but it's all about time "
"yeah whatever Romeo," she said, pushing me from my shoulders and started walking down the stairs, I followed her and the view I could watch forever.
"Eyes up here Dante" she said knocking me out of my trance "eyes up where" I say looking around clueless putting my hands in my pocket and shuffling it around.
"Oh okay I wonder if Leron is free to be my date instead," she said tapping her head.
How dare she mention that asshole name near me, the guy who she gave her first kiss to who didn't deserve her and only wanted her for a good time. "sweetheart if you want a shrimp then you definitely don't need me "
"You two get off the stairs and stop flirting for one second," My mum said with her Colombian accent almost slipping through.
"We're not flirting, " we both said then turned to look at each other and then looked down our cheeks rising with blush.
"Yeah whatever, both of you smile for the picture "I brought my hand up and wrapped it around Aubree's waist, her smell of vanilla intoxicating me .
"Don't mess up my hair white boy or there will be problems," she said through a smile for the picture.
"Don't worry i'll mess it up in other ways " I said through a cough and heat rose to her cheeks "Also what did I say about that name".
"Aubree Anston Ado are you blushing," her father says in disbelief I could tell he was shocked as he used her full name .
"NO, we have to go so bye " she says rushing out pulling my arm and flinging me towards the door like a doll she could be a wrestler.
Before I was tossed towards the door my mum said "cuidala esta noche". (look after her tonight)
IDon't forget to vote enjoy !

To the Latinx community and people who speak Spanish please correct me if anything is wrong I don't mean to offended I'm using what I have which is Google translate which isn't the best. Thank you x
