Prom?

Caley watched the clock as she chatted with her friends. Only a few minutes left to lunch, she still hadn’t gone to her locker to grab her books for her next class. Her friends were talking about prom again. It seemed that was all anyone talked about at school this week.

“Hey, I’m going to go to my locker and get my books.” Caley said quickly as she hurried to the door. “I don’t want to be late again.” She raised her eyebrows at her friends.

They smiled at her and returned to their conversations. She hastily strode to the door. Upon reaching the door, she realized she was stuck in the door jam. Everyone was either trying to get in or out. Once out the door, Caley found that she was still stuck behind Damon. She struggled to get past him but couldn’t.

All of a sudden, the entire men’s acapella group appeared down the hallway. They began singing something as they paraded down the hall. She noticed John was leading them again as she made quick eye contact with him. So typical, they’re probably advertising again… Caley shrugged and resumed her futile attempts to get past Damon. They continued singing in perfect harmony, adding random dissonances. The hallway was crowded with people trying to see what was going on. As they drew closer to her lunchroom, she noticed that they were coming her way. Caley tried to get away as they came nearer.

Unexpectedly, they stopped in front of the door as John took the lead role and burst into trills. Damon stepped aside. It was then that Caley realized all eyes were on her. In shock, she backed away, into the wall. Blake cut them off; Caley noticed the added second as John stepped forward.

“Do you want to go to prom with me?” Her eyes grew wide as he held out his hand to her.

Unable to speak, she nodded her head and took his hand.

“Yeah…” Caley finally gasped when she had come to her senses.

John’s winning smile appeared as he stretched out his arms. Caley noticed Mia’s wide grin off to her side as she hugged John.

“Only if my dad says yes…” Caley whispered to him.

Obviously this is the previous installment to the series Clio is working on. She realizes this probably isn't her best work, but it pretty much is 100% true for those of you who are wondering. She still is no good at making plots up, so we'll see where this goes. By the way, her dad did say yes, no matter how grudgingly. Do let Clio know if you would like her to continue this series or stop where it is. Comment or post on the tagboard please.
