Prom Date
“I wanted to crawl into a hole and pull the earth over me like a blanket. The only thing that stopped me from slitting my wrists was the thought of strangling Danny O’Brian with my bare hands. Who cancels a prom date an hour before the big night?
My mind flew a thousand miles a minutes to all the terrible things I could do to him. This was supposed to be my big moment. Walking in on Danny O’Brian’s arm would have cancelled out some pretty crummy high school years.
“Why me!” I yelled as I... cried into my pillow. The tears flowed like wine at a wedding. Something else I would probably never get to experience. Why do things like this always happen to me?
Freshman year I’d been too shy to even think about going. In sophomore year, no one had asked. Flat-chested bean poles like me weren’t asked to fancy things like the prom. In junior year a bunch of us wallflowers were going to go together but I broke my ankle playing volleyball, and I wouldn’t be caught dead at prom walking around on crutches.MoreLess
