I thought my prom would go differently. From the beginning of this year, I thought I’d be dancing and singing all night and ask the hottest girl in school to be my date. Who the hottest girl is, I have no idea. I came to prom dateless. I came because I already bought my ticket and didn’t want to miss out on prom.

I was standing against one of the walls, watching the flashing lights and my classmates dancing with their dates. I wish I was out there but what kind of loser dances alone?
