Title: Prom
Date
I wrote this for speed rent - the prompt was a poem. Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Rent.
Prom date
Time to look and search
For that special someone
Who you'll dance with
And maybe more
Asking no one
Yet.
Just waiting
And wanting
To be asked yourself.
One week before prom
No one's asked you
You can't ask
Tell yourself
You'll pick the first guy
You
lay
eyes
on.
Ok?
Ready,
Close your eyes
one, two three
OW!
Someone knocks into you
"Sorry" you both say
You look at him
Geeky? – yes
Cute? – maybe
Prom date? – Guess so.
Looks like a sophomore
But he'll do.
You smile at him.
You haven't seen a darker shade of red
Since…
Well, since
Never.
He looks like he's never
Been smiled at
Before
Maybe he hasn't
Poor thing
"Do you want to go to prom with me?"
You ask.
A darker shade of red
You didn't think was possible
But it
Was.
After an eternity of mumblings
"uh , uh"
He finally says
"yes"
You tell him you'll
Call later
He gives you his number
"I'm Mark" he says
"Maureen," you reply.
As you walk off
You don't realize
How important
Mark will
Be.
