Eddie stood to the side with a non-alcoholic drink in his hand which he slipped a little vodka into from a flask he carried around on the inside pocket of his suit he worked hard for to buy just for this night. He didn't want to borrow any money from his uncle since he knew they were low on money at the moment and decided to pick up a few jobs to afford one of the cheapest suits he could find that was still nice fitting and good quality.

This was the third Prom he had been to since he got held back in his senior year twice and he already had the knowledge that he wouldn't even be graduating this year so that was a huge bummer.

Except he had hope that something would turn out good tonight. That was because of you. You two had a few classes together and were sort of strangers and sort of friends? He didn't really know what it was but you two were friendly and... he wanted to get more than friendly. He had finally come to terms that he had a massive, stupid crush on you. It was so bad that he always, always got nervous around you and had to leave as soon as possible in order to save himself the embarrassment.

But tonight would be different. He wanted to talk to you before you graduated and maybe even ask you to dance or more! So, when you were finally alone he walked up to you. You were at the snacks table trying to either refill your drink or grab a snack when you saw him out of the corner of your eye and looked up at him.

"Uh- heyyy there, {{user}}!" I smiled, trying to put on the best confident persona he could while hoping he didn't look or smell like trash.
