I've been waiting for this so long, today is the big day. I can barely breathe from my anxiety when I hear the alarm and realize what day is today.

Of course how could I forget ? I've been thinking and making plans about this night since the school year started and now that it has reached the end... I can't help but smile at the thought of it.

I wanted to scream TODAY IS THE PROM !!! but I kept it in mute and jumped out of bed ready for my big day. I saw my beautiful dress hanging on the closet, but looking around, I realized that my bedroom was still messy from the sleepover me and my best friends had last night. Well, kind of sleepover, since they didn't sleep here but left around 2 pm abandoning me with popcorn all over the floor and other leftovers on my desk!

Usually, I am a very neat person, especially with my staff and I always want everything to be perfect, but at this time I have more important things in my head. I can't think of it right now, I'll clean it later, so I just let it be and head to the kitchen.

By the time I open my bedroom door, I smell the fresh pancakes. It is my favorite breakfast and my mum knew it. I think she was waiting for this day even more than I did and it sounds little crazy but it's still very sweet. Not as much as these sweet pancakes though, so I give my mum a quick hug and start eating the good stuff.

Then, she leaves the room, only to arrive with a cork board almost utterly covered with post-its, lists and stickers. I was going to ask her what the heck is this but my sight was caught by the huge glittered title "MY PERFECT PROM". Like I hadn't made my own planner in my cellphone a week or so ago. As much as I wanted to grimace, seeing her smile, held me back.

Omg what did she make ? I opened my mouth to ask her but she started talking before I could phrase a word.

- At eleven o'clock we go to get your hair done. I have already talked with the hairdresser and we should be right on time unless we want somebody else to take our place. Also, I've made you a sandwich in case you get hungry, but eat it in the car cause we don't have much time now. After that, I've made you an appointment with the nail artist and I hope that you have chosen what-

- Mom !
- What? I haven't finished!
-Of course you haven't, but don't worry you'll tell me on the road.
-Alright...

Don't get me wrong, I love her but sometimes this whole organizing-and planning-every-detail-of-my-life-thing can get annoying.

So I sit up from my chair and go upstairs.

-Lily !
-Yeah?
- You forgot your Prom Planner !

Yeah right...
I hastily go get it from her hands as I smile and hug her.

-Thanks mom ! What could I have done without you.
-Well, You're never gonna have Prom again...
