Alex POV

I shoved my phone into the pocket of my sweatshirt. I kept my head low so that all I could see was my scratched up, worn down converse. I felt my bag pull me down and the cold metal from the lockers brush against my shoulder. My duffel was hanging cross body and my weary legs took me to the library where I was going to be tutoring Mr. Prince Charming. I made my way to an empty table and wrestled my books out of my backpack. I was about to put my head down for a second when I heard a grumbly voice behind telling me to wake up.
"Uhh.. I wasn't sleeping," I replied nervously as Harry pulled the chair out and sat down next.
"It sure looked like it but you can do it time with me," he smirked.
I felt myself blush a little bit, but gave him a fake smile with my lips still together and began to open my textbook. I pushed the book towards him and began to explain the most basic things to him as he listened, or at least tried to listen. I gave him some problems and told him to work as I pulled my phone out and turned away from him.
5 messages from Katie. I suddenly remembered that I had to meet Katie at my house to get my dress for the dance this weekend. I began to quickly pack my bag.
"Hey, where are you going?," Harry whisper yelled as I scrambled to pack up.
"Sorry Harry, But I have somewhere to be. Same time tomorrow, yes ok, BYE!" I shouted as I jogged out of the library and to the nearest Underground Station.
I ended back at home just in time for Katie to have snuck into my bedroom. She had my dress in a white carrier so that I wouldn't be able to see a thing. She had a ginormous grin on her face and my curiosity levels made me want to see the dress so badly I was willing to rip the dress out her hands and have a look for myself.
"A Katie present to Alex, the best friend ever.... and I have some news." Katie said as if she were a presenter on Wheel of Fortune. "So dress or news first."
"Um, dress," I said way to eagerly.
"Wow, thanks for caring," she said as she unzipped the white hanger.
Out flowed a plum color strapless dress with a little sweat heart neck line. The back had some lace on it and there were little old school buttons. The dress was flowly and looked worthy for a princess. Katie looked estatic and really excited for me to wear it.
"You'll be the first person to have a Katie original, so that when I'm a fashion star and you're curing cancer, I can always say, I do things for the sake of science."
I couldn't help but laugh. I walked up to her and took the dress from her and brought it to the mirror with me. I held it to me and I felt special in the dress. Katie walked behind me and pulled my hair up so that I could feel the dress' power, as Katie would say.
"You can wear it with your mum's necklace. She'll want you to wear it. Alex she would be so proud of you."
I placed the dress on my bed and gave her a big hug. "And the news," I whispered into her ear. She pulled away from with a huge grin on her face and ushered me to sit down.
"So, Liam asked me if I wanted to go to the masquerade with him."
"Wow, that's amazing." I replied. I felt myself wither when I realized I couldn't tell anybody about Harry. I wanted to tell Katie so bad, I just couldn't.
"So did mystery phone guy ever ask you out," Katie smirked.
"What... there's um.. mystery phone guy," I explained not very well.
"Uh huh, tell that to my toned bum. I see the way your face lights when you look at your phone and you get these texts. Its adorable and you should be going out with him."
"I cant go out with him because he doesn't know who I am," I blurted out. It felt like my mouth began talking before words actually began to come out. I wrapped my hands around the blue and white comforter and just stared at the floral pattern.
"Neh.. wh.. wait... what," Katie mumbled.
"Prince Charming is Harry Styles. He can't know who I am because I'm the maid. I don't even know if he likes me."
"No he like you," Katie said blatantly as she scrolled through my phone and Prince Charming want to meet you at the dance on the center of the dance floor before you're evil stepsisters whisk you away at 12:00.
"What?"
That's what he wrote. Ask lover boy.

Harry POV

I watched Alex run out of the library with her sports bag and school bag bouncing against her tiny body. Hey, at least we got some work done. Maybe I’ll finish one problem of my calculus homework. Huzzah.
I flipped my phone out of my pocket and began to scroll through when I realized that Cinderella hadn’t even texted me back yet. It was odd, but I felt something inside crack. I was about to shove the phone back into my pocket when I saw a banner for the “Homecoming Masquerade Ball.”
Me: I was wondering if you’d wanna go 2 da dance w/ me. We shud meet at the dance floor before ur evil step sisters take u away.
As I touched send, I felt my heart thumping in my chest. Liam had already asked some girl to the dance so, me the PLAYER, hadn’t even gotten a date yet.

Alex POV
I stared at the text message for what felt like hours after Katie left. If I say yes, what if he doesn’t like me, and If I say no, what if I hurt him. Apparently, there was no win-win situation. When I finished everything I had to do, I crawled into the warmth of my bed and looked at the shiny, glowing touch screen one more time. I touched reply and began to type away.
Me: Yes

I put my phone aside for the night and crawled underneath the covers with a giant smile on my face.
