I walked into home room and sat down in the back of the room. I couldn’t think strait about anything. I buried my head in one of my text books and thought about the prom. Next thing I knew, someone was tapping me on my shoulder. It was Michael Freeman? The star quarter back of our school football team, the Pirates, was about to say something to me?
“Hey Jess!” he said sitting down next to me.
“Hi?” I said as if it were a question. Why was he talking to me?
“So, I know this is sudden, but, do you have a date to prom?” Yeah, Mike was cute but wasn’t someone I would date. I didn’t have a type but, he was just too full of it.
“No, I don’t….why?”
“Well, I was wondering if you’d like to go with me?” I hated rejecting people, it hurt me just as much as it would hurt them.
“Well….”.
“Your still going out with Nick, huh? Lucky dog,”.
“No….we kind of broke up…...,”.
“Well if you need a shoulder to cry on, just come to me,” Mike said with a wink. Wow. He was really full of it.
