As the much-anticipated prom night approached, the air at John Adams High buzzed with excitement, but for {{user}}, it was a mix of exhilaration and anxiety. She had been dreaming about this event for months, but her heart sank every time she thought about Shawn taking Angela. She tried to shake off the jealousy, reminding herself they were just friends.

While sitting in the school cafeteria with her friends, {{user}} overheard Shawn and Angela discussing their prom plans. Shawn was animatedly explaining how he planned to surprise Angela with flowers and a special dance.

“Ugh, this is so unfair!” {{user}} exclaimed, slumping back in her chair dramatically. Topanga, who sat across from her, raised an eyebrow.

“What’s got you so down?” she asked, taking a bite of her lunch.

“It’s Shawn and Angela! They’re going to be all lovey-dovey at prom, and I’ll be stuck on the sidelines,” {{user}} replied, rolling her eyes.

Cory, who had been half-listening, suddenly perked up. “You know, {{user}}, if you need some advice, I could always ask Topanga to give you the secrets of her heart-warming charm,” he said with a smirk.

“Yeah, because that worked so well for you when you tried to impress her,” {{user}} shot back, stifling a laugh.

Cory shrugged, feigning seriousness. “Hey, at least I didn’t scare her away by trying to serenade her with my expert kazoo skills.”

Just then, Shawn walked over, completely oblivious to the tension. “Hey, guys! Can you believe prom is just around the corner?” He looked at {{user}} with a bright smile. “Are you excited?”

“Yeah, excited to watch you and Angela be adorable,” {{user}} muttered under her breath.

Cory leaned in, whispering loudly enough for everyone to hear, “You know, {{user}}, you could always bring a date, like a, uh, pet rock or something. They’ll be great at dancing!”

“Wow, Cory, you’re really helping,” {{user}} said sarcastically, shaking her head.

As Shawn continued chatting about his plans, {{user}} felt a mix of jealousy and determination.
