I was 13 years old when I met Henry. He was my very first friend way back in pre-school and he is my first friend too in our village when we are newly moved at their village. He is my hero, he saved me from bullies back then. After that we became best friends. We are now in Grade 11 and yet we are still best friends.
"Selene, come on let's cut class it's boringgg." Henry complains to our current subject which is Mathematics.
"Shut up, Henry. Do you want me to inform your mom on your grades?" I rolled my eyes.
"Okay fineee." he said and he rest his head on his armchair.
"Okay class, I want to inform you about the announcement regarding to your prom night. It will be held at Bellevue Hotel in Muntinlupa. It is a Masquerade theme. That's for all for now. Wait for further instructions by your adviser. So now, class dismissed." our math teacher's word before leaving the room and the bell rang.
"Finally!" Henry exclaimed.
I just rolled my eyes and arranged my things.
"Hey Selene, you want to join us? We're going to eat at Christine's." Lea said.
"I'm not free today eh, I have duties at home. Next time, I will. I promise."
"Okay. Looks like we don't have any other choice. You Henry, want to come?" Lea said as her eyes gleam towards Henry. As far as I know, she likes Henry.
"Nahh. I'm going somewhere." Henry answered dryly.
"Oh, okay." Lea said with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Henry and I bid goodbye to Lea and we began to walk away.
"Selene, Can I ask you something?" Henry suddenly asked me in the middle of walking.
"Uhmm?" I responded.
"Can..I..." His ears turning red. He is shy Haha. He scratched his head when he heard me chuckle.
"Eh? Come on Henry." I said with a smile.
"Can.. I.. I be your.. Date to prom?"
"Sure."
"For real?" He said like he can't believe in my answer. I nod my head as a response.
"Okay!" He said cheerfully.
We are finally on our each other's house. We bid goodbyes.
Night has came. I'm going to sleep when Henry sent a message.
[From: Henry
Hi! I told your mom that I am your date to prom and she is crazy. She told my parents that we are dating!]
I laughed hard when I finished reading his message.
[To: Henry
HAHAHAHA! Why did you tell her? You know my mom, she shipped us too much.]
Our conversation continued until I didn't notice its already 1 am. I bid goodbye because I'm already sleepy and still we have class later.
