I own nothing(:

My first go at a modern day story, so please be nice to me. Merlin, Gwen and Arthur are in Camelot college, and it's one week until the prom. Arthur and Gwen are going together, but Merlin isn't interested. Right until Morgana arrives, the new girl. Will he change his mind?

The Camelot College prom was at least a week away, and everyone was busy trying to get a date to go to this prom. Everyone had a date, except for one student. Merlin. He was far more focused on his studies than anything else, he wasn't even sure if he was going to the prom or not. As he sat down in the lecture theatre, Merlin had realised that Arthur was next to him.

"Merlin, why are you not going to the prom?" Arthur asked.

Merlin sighed, tapping his pen against the table. "I didn't say I wasn't going, what I said was that I might be going." Merlin answered.

Arthur laughed at him. "Well if you want to go, you will need a date." Arthur pointed out. He nudged Merlin's arm so gently, looking at the door which just opened.

The Tutor soon walked in, placing his black file down on the table. "Class, I am Mr Emrys, and I will be teaching you today." He explained,

A young girl walked in, carrying a green folder in her right hand. She had long, dark brown hair with gorgeous green eyes. Her black jeans and white top revealed her figure, in which everyone looked at her.

"Miss, may I see your I.D badge please?" Mr Emrys asked.

The girl held up her I.D badge, smiling softly. "I'm sorry I'm late, Sir." She said. She was Irish, her accent gave that away.

"Ah, Miss Le Fay, welcome. I'm Mr Emrys." Mr Emrys announced. He ignored her apology; he didn't mind her being late. "Please, take a seat." Mr Emrys insisted.

"Thank you." Morgana quietly said. She walked up the gaps, ignoring the looks that she was receiving.

Arthur had nudged Merlin once more. "What about her?" Arthur asked him.

Merlin looked at Arthur. "Arthur, shush, she's only just walked in." Merlin pointed out.

Arthur cleared his throat. "Excuse me then." Arthur sarcastically responded. He faced the front, ready to learn.

Merlin had breathed out, looking at the front. He really didn't like Arthur winding him up, especially since his father was teaching today.

"Excuse me, is there anyone sitting here?" The girl asked.

Merlin knew that voice, that wonderful Irish accent. He looked at her. "Urm, no." Merlin answered. He looked back at the teacher, breathing gently.

The girl took her place, placing her bag down on the floor. Her green file was positioned on the table. She moved a strand of her hair behind her ear, and she smiled. She looked over at Merlin. "I'm Morgana, by the way." Morgana introduced herself.

"Oh, Merlin. Please help Miss Le Fay catch up." Mr Emrys requested.

Merlin nodded his head. "Yes, Sir." Merlin responded. He looked at her, smiling. "And I'm Merlin, obviously." Merlin told her.

Morgana softly laughed. "Of course you are." Morgana teased.

Merlin handed her his textbook. "You may borrow this." Merlin told her.

"Thank you, Merlin." Morgana responded. She opened up the book, beginning to read the contents within the book. "If I get stuck, I will ask you." Morgana assured him.

Merlin nodded his head. "Of course, that's fine." Merlin promised. He looked back at the tutor, listening to his words.

The lesson went on for about an hour, and Arthur had rested his hand on the side of his face. He was becoming bored, and it was clear to everyone. Suddenly, the bell went and Arthur cheered up. He packed up his stuff, looking at Merlin. "I'll meet you in the café, Merlin." Arthur announced.

Merlin started to pack up his stuff now. "Sure, I'll catch up." Merlin said. He looked over at Morgana. "You finished?" He asked her.

Morgana closed the book, handing it back to him. "Yes, thank you." Morgana answered. She started to pick up her bag and file, standing up. "Is it a break?" Morgana asked.

"Yes, I'm going to meet Arthur." Merlin answered. He stood up, slinging his bag over his shoulder. "Coming?" Merlin asked.

"Sure." Morgana responded.

The two of them made their way out of the lecture theatre, heading towards the café.

"Are you Irish?" Merlin asked.

"Yes, I was born in Dublin." Morgana answered. She smiled, looking up at him as she walked along side him. "And I can tell you are from Ireland as well." Morgana informed him.

Merlin laughed nervously. "Northern Ireland." Merlin corrected her. He rubbed the back of his neck, blinking a couple of times.

Eventually, they both made it to the café. Merlin sat down next to a girl who had dark skin. "Hello, Gwen." Merlin said.

Morgana sat down next to Merlin, feeling shy. "I'm Morgana Le Fay, I just joined." Morgana said.

"I'm Arthur Pendragon." Arthur said. He smiled at her, blue eyes shining so gently.

"And I'm Guinevere Kingsley, but I get called Gwen." Gwen spoke. She smiled at Morgana, looking at Merlin. "Is she your girlfriend, Merlin?" Gwen asked in a teasing tone.

"Gwen, we've only just met." Merlin answered. He felt a bit hot on the face, but he smiled anyway.

"You're blushing." Arthur pointed out.

Merlin had groaned quietly, hand resting on his forehead. "Arthur, you're blushing as well." Merlin responded back.

Arthur raised an eyebrow at him. "Say, Morgana. Did you want to go prom with Merlin?" Arthur asked.

"Steady on, Arthur." Merlin said.

"I've just got here, Arthur." Morgana informed him.

"Morgana, he's got no one to go with." Gwen explained.

"Why don't you go with him, Gwen?" Morgana challenged her.

"I'm going with Arthur." Gwen answered.

"Oh, I see." Morgana commented. She cleared her throat, rubbing the back of her neck. "I will consider it." Morgana finally said.

Gwen looked at Merlin. "You never know, you could well be going to the prom after all." Gwen told him.

Merlin breathed gently, looking back at Gwen. "We shall see." Merlin said.

The bell rang, signalling the end of the break. The four stood up, leaving the café as they made their way over to the computer room. Merlin spent the lesson thinking about the conversation of going to the college prom with the new girl. He breathed out, working on his project as he needed to decide on what to do.

Chapter Two: Merlin makes his decision, and he speaks to Morgana.

Part of my thumb is actually swollen, I was lucky to have written up this chapter before it swelled up. (I was hit by a sledgehammer, it was an accident) Hopefully, my thumb will be back to normal for when I start the next chapter(:
