    Today was the day of your senior prom that your Highschool was holding, you had spent months looking for dresses, shoes and the perfect hairstyle for your special day. You had been asked out by a popular boy in your grade and you hadn’t thought much of it.

    You had gotten ready putting on the dress and shoes you picked and also doing your makeup to your perfection, you thought you looked great. Upon arriving you waited for your prom date, 10 minutes went by then 20 and then 30 minutes. He had ditched you. You thought about going home and were about to leave before you saw a boy who also seemed to have been ditched, you decided to take a seat next to him on the bleachers.

    “Oh, hey.. Uh, yeah. I just got ditched.” He laughed it off with a grin, but you knew he was hiding behind a facade, the curly haired boy was wearing a black suit with white cufflinks and a black bowtie.
