The alarm on my nightstand woke me up around 6:30am. I groaned as I stood up lazily and made my way to the bathroom. To my anger it was locked and I could hear Luke singing in the shower. My hand balled into a fist and interrupted my brothers singing with loud bangs against the wooden door. “Luke get out, I need to get ready for school.“ I yelled annoyed at my brother. He was off tour and no interviews af all. So why did he have to block the bathroom when he knows I have school?
“Sorry, I'll be ready in 5.“ he shouted back. “It better be 5 minutes this time. If you take longer I'll turn off the hot water.“ I threatened him. Within seconds the splashing of the shower stopped. I heard some shifting inside and the door opened, revealing Luke in his boxers with a towel in his hand.
“You wouldn't have done it would you?“ He asked me somehow shocked.
“Ash screamed like a girl when he blocked the bathroom the last time you were here. He would never dare to come in my way again.“ I smiled and kissed his cheek.
“Angel and Devil at the same time.“ Luke rolled his eyes as he steppped into his room.
After I took my time to get ready in the bathroom I walked downstairs. My mum and dad were reading the newspaper. My dad took a sip of his coffee when he saw me entering the kitchen. “Morning.“ he simply said. “Morning Dad, Mum.“ I answered politely.
“Sweetie do you want Bacon or Pancakes?“ my Mum asked as she showed me the food she had already prepared. Michael walked in with his eyes still half closed. “Morning everybody.“ he greeted us as he sat down next to me. “Both.“ I answered the question of my mother. She put both me and Michael Bacon and Pancakes on our plates.
“Why are you up so early?“ I asked Michael as I started eating. “Well someone was fighting over the bathroom.“ he smirked at me and I shrugged. “Priorities. I have school. He's free.“ I answered and Michael just nodded. “It's fine.“ he replied.

When I finished my food, I grabbed the lunch my mum had packed me put it in my schoolbag and walked to the front door. “Bye Junior.“ Michael yelled after me. Rolling my eyes I smiled. “Bye.“ I responded and walked outside.

In school the girls were already waiting for me. “Good Mprning.“ I greeted all of them. They told me hello and we walked to our first class. During the whole day I thought about prom. How was it going to be? I mean sure I'm alone, but what will happen?
Will everything stay calm, will a new drama happen? Will it be fun or a complete desaster.
My thoughts were interrupted by the final bell. I packed all my stuff in my locker and walked out of the building. As I walked out of the school gate, I noticed Luke waiting for me in his Range Rover. I walked over and got in.

“Why are you picking me up from school? The weather is beautiful.“ I asked him confused. He bit his lip in thought before he answered. “You need to help me pick a suit.“ He answered embarassed. “Don't you have one in your dresser?“ I wondered, thinking about the blue suit he had bought for the last award show he went to.

“Yeah I do, but your friend wants to match the colours, so I need a black one with a white shirt and a red tie.“ he sighed. “Aaaalriight.“ I replied and leaned back. My eyes were closed and I was nearly asleep when we arrived at the parking lot of the mall. “We're there Emily.“ Luke said softly. My eyes opened and he smiled at me.
“What? I'm wide awake.“ I stated and he just chuckled. “Sure. C'mon we need to hurry.“ he answered as he got out of the car.
We walked into the mall and he stopped right in the middle of the entrance. “Where shall we go?“ he asked me. “I guess the store upstairs is the best for boys your age. Or do you want to look like you stole your suit from an 80-year-old?“ I joked and he shook his head. We went upstairs and he directly found one he liked. He was in the dressing room trying it on. He walked out, his tie in his hands.
“I think it is good, what do you think?“ he asks me for my opinion. “The suit is beautiful and you look really good in it. But I would take the shirt one size smaller, it's too loose under the jacket.“ I walked over to the shirts and got the right size he changed and walked out again. “A lot better.“ I smiled and nodded my head. “What's with the tie?“ I wondered. Luke was holding it in his hands.
