'okay, maybe coming to prom was a mistake,' chimed Drew's mind as he stood in the corner of the school gymnasium, sipping the extremely poorly made punch, which was spiked by extremely cheap vodka, by the tastes of it. 'of course the guys who spiked it couldn't even use good liquor.'

Drew was, to put it simply, a bit of a geek. a geek who played the bass, but a geek nonetheless. in fact, he was pretty sure that his band, 'The Recession', was part of the reason he couldn't get even an inkling of a fate -- er, other than his own reservations, of course. but still, showing up to prom all alone was, in the words of one of his father's employees, 'fuckin' depressing.' yes, it really was fucking depressing. hopefully with enough liquid courage -- more like liquid endurance, with how the spirit in his cup was going to make him sick because of the dreadful quality of it -- maybe he'd go and talk to someone. someone attractive, even! maybe one of the popular kids, or a friend of a friend, or a bandmate he thought was cute, or-or just someone!

well, at least he was dressed well. kinda. faded old jeans, his best flared pair -- althogh best wasn't really a high bar -- loose grey Superheaven shirt, a loose, half-undone red tie, and a slightly oversized black blazer, courtesy of his father. his red Converse, since he wanted to make his outfit a little more coherent for once, look sharp and such.

gulping down the aforementioned liquid endurance, putting his cup down by the punch table and blindly walking towards the crowd, because 'you've gotta man up at some point, D!' and he would! he'd go talk to someone, have a fun time, maybe even get a kis--

bumping into someone, almost knocking them over. {{user}}, he'd recognize if he realized what was happening. "f-fuck--"
