Louis.
Louis Louis Louis.
One of my best friends in the entire world.
He has been since the third grade.
Prom season rolled around and I was not happy.
I guess I was a little bit salty because all of my friends are drop dead gorgeous and extroverts... unlike me.
I was literally the last person anybody would ask to prom.
So I guess I had a distaste for prom and promposals because of it.
And no doubt Louis would be asked out.
He basically the heart throb of the school.
But he's my best friend, so it's hard to see him go off with some other girl.
I despised going to school up to two weeks before prom.
All the girls fawning over dresses and their significant others.
Then there's the rebel's who hate prom girls.
And all the jocks who like all the attention.
Barf.
Needless to say, I wasn't going to prom.
I would sit at home and write, or watch Netflix and eat.
It was so much better that way anyway!

Two days before prom.
I got up and got dressed for school like normal.
I got into the bus with a slight sleepy daze.
"Well good morning sleepyhead." Louis smiled.
"Morning Louis."
"Got anyone for prom yet?" He asked as he jumped to my seat.
"No louis." I spat.
"Woah, yikes! Who poked you today?"
"Prom season." I mumbled.
"Prom season? Is it because you don't have a date?"
"Yes louis! It's because I'm a freaky introvert fugly girl who doesn't have a date to prom! So I'm not going and I'm gonna stay home and eat chips all night because everyone else will have a date and I won't!" I shouted on the verge of tears.
"Woah! Y/n! It's okay! Just because you don't have a date doesn't mean you're any less then all the other girls."
I wiped away a tear that dared to escape my eye.
"Hey! What did we talk about? I hate it when my best friend cries! You put those tears away! Get them under control!"
I chuckled as I sniffled.
"Oh no. It's not working. The tickle monster might just have to come out and get those tears under control for you."
"Louis! Don't you even dare!"
"Oh I will dare!! I'll dare harder then darest darer ever to dare!"
"Okay! You can stop being an idiot now. I'm fine."
"Good."
The bus arrived to school and I got out followed by Louis who grabbed onto my shoulders on the steps down.
"Are you gonna use free period today?" Louis asked as he ruffled my hair as I opened my locker.
"Yeah. I have to finish a project with one of my friends. She says she wants to get it done as soon as possible which is fine by me. Why do you ask?"
"I was just wondering." He shrugged.
"Oh okay. Well I'm gonna get to class early. I'll see you later."
He waved as I walked to chemistry and I sat down in my seat.

Free period arrived quickly and I met up with the girl who I needed to finish a project with.
"Are you ready?" She asked.
I took out a pen and wrote stuff down as we discussed.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Is that okay?"
"Yeah that's fine!" I nodded and let her off.
A couple seconds later a knock was at the door.
The door opened and Louis walked in.
"Here. I found this in your locker when I was getting my stuff."
He handed me a note and I opened it.
Y/n, for a long time I wanted to ask you. We've been able to go to prom for two years now and I finally decided to grow some and ask you. I suck at talking in real life under high pressure so I decided to write it in a note.
Look up.
I looked up at the end of the note and Louis was holding up a sign.
Porm?
I giggled a little at the mixed up letters.
"What's so funny?" Louis asked.
"The letters are wrong! It's says porm Louis!" I laughed.
He threw the sign away and laughed.
"Oh well! I threw it together with some extra letters the art teacher had. My whole point is is that I wanted to ask you for a while now and when I saw you cry on the bus because you thought no one wanted you, I knew I had to do it."
"Aww Louis! I thought you already had a date!"
"I did, but I knew when my best friend needed one, I'd choose my best friend over some pretty girl."
I got up and hugged Louis with the note still in my hand. I looked at the note as I felt his arms around me.
"I love you Lou! You're so sweet!"
"I love you too, you absolute dork."
I let go of him and looked concerned
"Who was your date?"
"It was only the richest, most beautiful, talent girl in the school." Louis laughed nervously.
"Louis! You gave her up for me?"
"You're my best friend, how could I let you down?"
