Prom night nerves

It feels like I have been sitting here for millenniums if I have to see one more dress I think I'm going to die. "What do you think serlock?"

"Oh yeah it's amazing really just yeah" I sighed

"You don't look very interested"

"No I am it's just that…"

"It's this dress isn't it I'm never going to find a good dress. I'm just going to have to start all over again"

"No, no, no just get that dress it looks fine on you, gosh".

On the bus it looked as if Molly was off in her own wee world again probably thinking of fluffy kittens. I noticed she was biting her lip and glancing at the boy outside the window probably worried she wouldn't get a date. Then my heart stopped "hey Sherlock you ok you look like you've just had a blood test" and I wished that I had because I just realized she was actually looking at me. I mean I can't go out with Molly. It was a disaster. I couldn't tell her, no it would break her heart but going out with her would be even worse. "Sherlock come on it's our stop"

"Oh right wasn't thinking"

"When are you never thinking?"

"I know" I laughed nervously.

"Well then sherbear"

"Molly you know I hate it when you call me that my names Sherlock"

"Fine then Sherlock I just wanted to ask you something about the prom night"

"Yeah"

"Well…"

"I can't go to the prom with you Molly"

"What I just wanted to say that I'm going to the prom with Lestrade and I was wondering if that was ok with you"

"Oh"

"Well sherbear I need to go bye"

"IT'S SHERLOCK" I shouted down the street thinking she would hear me but it's not like she would stop calling me that any way. When I got back home my mum yelled " Sherlock Johns here"

"Hi Sherlock"

"Hey John"

"Hey what's wrong Sherlock?"

"Nothing but guess what Molly going to the prom with Lestrade"

"Wow I thought she liked you"

"She does like me"

"I'm not sure if she's going with Lestrade"

"But…but…but"

"Sherlock are you jealous you never jealous"

"No I'm not jealous"

"Look even if you are you know jealous"

"Stop that I'm not jealous".

"Even if you are I've got an idea you should go to the prom with Irene, Molly thinks she's really pretty and is so jealous of her"

"Oh yeah I see what you're saying I need to make molly jealous so she will want to go with me ok…." "OH NO JOHN I HAVE NEVER GONE ON A DATE BEFORE"

"It's fine I can help you, ok first some new clothes the you need to learn to dance and maybe you should get a haircut".

"John you do know this isn't a real date"

"Yes I do but it has to look like a real date now come on we've got work to do". It was the night of the prom and I felt like I had been shot I mean a date not a real one but still a date. "Hey babe ready to go" I took a deep breath in and walked over to Irene and we linked arms then we walked out of the door together. On the way there I thought I was just about to give up and walk away but then I say Molly in her limo with Lestrade then I realised how much I wanted this. I stepped inside the hall and saw Molly.

It was about midnight and none of my tactics were working so I ran off but I ran in the wrong direction as I bumped right into Lestrade. "Hey Sherlock great party looks like you're having a great time with Irene"

"No I'm not the party is terrible and molly still doesn't like me".

"Wait you like molly are you jealous "

"Well…umm…she's your date though"

"Ewe we're just cousins"

"Oh"
