The two week break I had went by so fast and soon enough it was May and I was back to school for another term. I actually liked school, not for the nonexistent friends or the long lessons but for the escape it gave me. For those few hours I had little control over my life away from my aunt. Nobody paid after attention to me and I didn't pay attention to them. The teachers liked me because I did well in my studies but that didn't make me a teacher's pet. That would make me get bullied and I didn't want to subject myself to anymore torture. I already had enough going on at home.

My aunt had gone back to ignoring me as long as I did my work right. I didn't want any interactions with her either since I had more to loose now. William had spent a small fortune buying me a new phone and to keep it safe I needed to be careful and obedient. I didn't want to loose William just because I wanted to be a little rebellious. It was not worth it.

I'd gotten so used to my normal routine that as soon as I was done with my duties, I called William and talked to him before I went to bed. He had asked me to try call earlier since it was his prom and he wanted to talk to me before he left. Another American tradition that I only saw in the movies. William had been so bummed that he didn't get to take me to prom. It had taken me a few days to convince him to go. I had been sad too but there was nothing I could do about it.

Two am rolled around and I was finally done with all my chores and I sat down to eat and call William. His face filled the screen and he was sulking instead of smiling like I was used to him picking up my calls.

I thought we were already over this William.

You were but I'm not. Why don't I get to take you to prom?

We're not having this conversation. Are you dressed yet?

I could only see his face so I couldn't tell.

Yeah.

Can I see?

Fine.

He must have been using his laptop because he set it down on what I assumed was his desk before taking as step back and I got to see his whole outfit. He was wearing a navy blue suit, a matching bowtie and a white dress shirt.

You look handsome.

Thank you. You would have looked amazing in a dress of the same color.

I'm sure I would have but that ship has sailed already, let it go.

He huffed and sat back down as continued moping setting his face on the desk so I was talking to his hair. It looked soft but I wanted to talk to his face.

William come on, you're supposed to be having fun tonight.

It won't be fun without you.

Yes it will, Louis and Harry will be there.

It's not the same and you know it.

Before I could reply I heard a door slam on his side before two sets of footsteps approached and I got to see who they belonged to when they walked into the frame. I'd seen Harry and Louis before in Williams videos but it was still weird for me seeing them live. I don't think they had noticed me on the screen seeing as William's hair was on the way. It gave me time to observe them closely.

Harry was tall, about the same height as William with short hair, brown eyes and a slim build. He was mixed seeing as his skin the was not dark like mind but he wasn't white like William either. He looked mature with an air of confidence around him. He was wearing a maroon tuxedo with a matching bowtie and a black dress shirt. Louis whom I'd never talked to was the shortest of the group but still tall. He had dark hair but he had dyed it blonde on the tips and it fell over his face. He had green eyes and his ears were pierced. He had a friendly look to him and the kind of person who was easy to talk to. He was wearing a grey tuxedo with a matching bowtie and a white dress shirt. They all looked very handsome and would definitely turn heads at the prom.

Harry was the one who spoke up first.

You can't be serious, Will snap out of it. So what if your girlfriend lives in another continent and you can't take her to prom. It doesn't mean you get to ruin ours.

Then go without me.

We can't. You're our ride since your mom was in charge if the limo.

Come on Will, we didn't ask any girls to be our dates because you don't get to take yours. We already made one sacrifice don't make us miss prom too.

I haven't locked you guys in here.

Does your girlfriend know you talk to your best friends like that?

She didn't but she does now.

Holy shit, she's here. Move over Will.

They pulled William away from the screen and both faces filled the screen. They didn't speak, just stared at me just like William did the first time we spoke. I had the urge to blush and look away but I was working on my confidence so I kept my face upright and actually spoke first giving the a shy wave.

Hi guys.

Awh, she's adorable. Will why didn't you tell us she was so cute?

I did, now move. I need to talk to my girl.

No you've had her for five months, it's our turn.

It doesn't work like that.

Yes it does now shut up, we need to introduce ourselves.
Hi Angel, I'm Louis and this is Harry.

Don't call her that. It's Malaika to you.

Hi Louis, Harry. It's nice to meet you for the first time Louis, Harry and I already familiar with each other. William talks about you a lot.

And a lot more about you, it's borderline annoying.

I'm honored. You guys look handsome.

Thank you, I picked them out myself since these two were too busy fighting over some stupid online game.

You just had to tattletale.

Yeah, Malaika has to be on my team. Right Malaika?

Yes Louis.

I love her already.

So Malaika can you tell Will to get off his ass so we can get going?

It's what I was trying to do before you guys arrived.

Will, Malaika says that you should go to prom.

I can hear her stupid.

Malaika Will just called me stupid.

William apologize to Louis.

No he asked for it.

William.

Okay fine, I'm sorry.

Please move here, he's never so nice or quick to apologize.

I wish I could.

Can you guys leave? I have to say goodnight to my girl if you're really so desperate for prom.

Bye Malaika, it was nice meeting you. Friend me in Instagram.

I will, bye Louis. Have fun at prom.

I'm planning on it.

Malaika, a pleasure as always.

You too Harry, take care of them and yourself too.

I always do.

The both of them left the room and William came back into frame.

I'm going to miss you.

It's only a few hours. We'll talk tomorrow.

Keep your phone on, I might leave early and want to text.

Okay, I will.

I love you Angel.

I love you too William. Have fun.

I'll try....
