When the taxi arrived, Amanda was ready, dressed in her very best clothes. She had been waiting weeks for this moment, she had planned the whole prom. She was going to go with the cutest guy of the school, she was going to wear an elegant pink dress, she was going to dance all night and have fun with her friends. Yes, she was going to do a lot of things. But there she was, taking a taxi to Mario’s home. Mario and Amanda had been friends since she was in first grade, they were like brother and sister. No, brothers and sisters fight. They were just Mario and Amanda, best friends.

The first thing Mario said when he saw Amanda in her beautiful dress arriving was, “He’s an idiot.”

“Can you just order some pizza, please?” asked Amanda sadly.

“Come in and get comfortable,” Mario said smiling.

“Thanks,” mumbled Amanda tiredly.

She came in, she got comfortable and she got sad. Lying in the bed she was thinking about last month. She had finally found a boyfriend, someone to go to the prom with, and be a princess for one night. And now, all her plans were gone because this ‘cute guy’ got the brilliant idea of getting into a fight with an old enemy. How stupid.

“You know, we can always have ‘pizza nights’ if you want.”

That was true, thought Amanda. With Mario, pizza and talks, she always realized that she doesn’t need anything else to smile.
