"Prom, prom, prom, prom, prom, prom," Alli said in rhythm.
Clare Edwards laughed. "It's junior prom,"
"Still! It's the second most important teen dance of our lives! And I'm going with Dave as sort of friends and Connor is going with Marisol. Wesley's going with his geek friend, Dana! Its perfect." she banged the table at the end which made Adam jump. Clare giggled.
"Fiona wants me to go with her," he said and quickly added. "As her best friend, I think I should."
Clare bit her lip. "Great, even you have a date…" her voice trailed off.
Alli choked on her water. "Shut up, Eli didn't ask you yet?" she said her voice high and shrill.
"Well, we don't talk about that stuff and since he got beaten up so badly he had to stay back a year we could go together so he can't use that excuse…" her voice trailed off again.
"Well, prom really isn't his scene." Adam said, with a shrug. Clare's eyes popped out.
"You think he'll never ask me?" she squeaked."And I'll have to go alone?"
Adam looked down and avoided her eyes and shrugged.
"Oh god, he might not ask me!" she said and Alli put an arm around her shoulder.
Adam really hated lying. But he promised. And Eli made him triple-dog swear. But she was like hyperventilating! Adam couldn't look at her.
"Really, if he doesn't ask someone will." Alli soothed and Clare half-glared at Alli, she really didn't want anyone else to ask her!
"I don't want anyone else to ask me," she muttered.
Adam mentally groaned. This was horrible.
Eli better be ready to ask her soon or he was going to die of guilt.
