I walked into the Williams mansion, and at once I took notice of the figure of Cameron in the living room, a glass in his hands, while he gulped down the lot of drink in it.
He turned to me the instant I walked in, eyes lingering on my figure. For a moment, I was glad to find him there. I sure needed to talk to him about what he said in school, cause ever since what happened, that very moment was all I thought about.
"Cameron" I called his name, moving towards his figure.
He paused at the sound of my voice, eyes staring on at me.
"I know you weren't serious about the whole prom thing" I began, taking a brief pause in between my words "but I just wanted to thank you for saving me from that humili....."
"I was being serious about it" He said interrupting me.
"I meant what I said" He added.
"You thought I was kidding?" He asked immediately.
"Well I thought you asked me just to save me from.... You know.... Savannah and her friend" I spoke quietly.
At my utterance, he moved few steps closer, eyes focused onwards.
"I was being serious, Nia"
He was silent for a moment, and then he spoke.
"I'm asking you now, Nia. There's no one here, so there's no reason for you to think I asked you just because people were there"
"Will you be my date to prom?" He asked for the second time today.
What deed have I been put in to find myself with much surprises on a fine day as today.
He stared into my eyes awaiting my response.
"Yes" I said quietly, smiling
"Okay... I guess I'll pick you up on the day of prom" He spoke, running his fingers through his hair.

"What's going on honey?" Mom called out to me the second I burst into our apartment.
Her eyes widened at the sight of me—breath heavy, chest heaving.
"What exactly is going on, Nia?" She questioned yet again.
"Nothing" I called at once
"I just need to go shopping" I dropped.
She watched on as I went in the direction of my room, not a word coming from.
"Since when do you go shopping?" She called out to me from the living room.
I'm guessing she wasn't expecting a response, so i remained silent.
Grabbing some money out of my drawer, I hurried out of my house, going to just one stop, the town's mall.
