Sorry for the slightly time jump, but it's needed to the story!

"She said yes!"

Newt and I almost jump in our places when Minho's loud voice echoes through my living room walls.

"Of course she said yes." Newt retorts as Minho plumps down on the couch next to us. "Harriet loves you."

"Yeah..." A small smile forms on his lips as he looks like he's daydreaming about her.

See, we're a few days from Prom and we all decided to go as a group, the girls and us. Minho and Harriet are going together, for what I heard a few seconds ago. Newt is also going with his girlfriend, Anna, but they'll stick with us as well.

It's the end of High School, and everyone will part ways to live their lives in College, and I can't help but think what's reserved for all of us.

"What do you think will happen to us when school ends?" I ask, my eyes looking to the TV without paying much attention.

"I think we'll keep in touch." Minho says, shrugging his shoulders.

"No, that's not what I meant." Newt, Minho and got in the same College, but I don't know about the others, and I really feel like they're part of my life already. "I meant the others."

I see by the corner of my eyes their heads lowering down a bit. I know they've thought about this as well, but saying it aloud makes it ten times harder.

My thoughts wander to a certain dark haired girl, who, even after that little incident from my part, still talks and phone calls me like before, to my surprise.

We haven't talked about the kiss yet, and I'm not taht sure the conversation will ever turn that way, but we'll see.

Fortunately, she told me she will most likely go to the same College as us.

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see, Tommy."

I can't shake my nerves away as I'm standing in front of the mirror in my room, with my Mom arranging my suit to Prom that'll happen in a few hours.

"You're handsome, Thomas." She says as I see her eyes getting a bit watery, and I force myself to groan in frustration, even though I know how my Mom behaves when it comes to Proms.

"You're not gonna cry, are you?" I chuckle a bit before engulfing her in a tight hug I know she needs, and she laughs on my chest, since I'm taller than her.

"I'm just so proud of you."

I smile as we pull away, planting a kiss on her forehead as I head to the front door to leave to High School.

"Have fun and please be careful."

I say goodbye to her before closing the door behind me.

The sun is still out since it's just 4pm on a summer day. The breeze is soft and I let out a sigh of comfort, despite the fuzzy feeling on my stomach over the thought of being our last time together.

I shake my head slightly and head to Newt's house, where we all agreed on meeting before going together to Prom.

*****

The loud music blasts through the speakers as we enter the school gym, students already dancing and drinking with their friends alongside them.

"Let's get started!" Minho exclaims as he takes Harriet's hand, pushing her with him as the two run towards the dance floor giggling, and start dancing like there is no tomorrow.
