Prom is tomorrow. One last celebration for our class before graduation. I've got my dress and I know how I'll be doing my hair and make-up, if only all the effort I'm going to would be appreciated.
The four of us are inseparable and are all going together, our parents have all chipped in to get us a limo and we're going to the Lodge after; they'll be no partying with people who have made this year as bad as it been for us.
No,like normal, it'll just be us, laughing and joking and Angela taking a gazillion photos. That girl has not put down the camera since we clubbed together to buy it for her birthday a few weeks back.
"I'm so excited." Angela shrieks in my ear once I answer my cell./
"Because." I ask once my ear stops ringing.
"Because Ben finally asked me to be his girlfriend."
"Oh Ang, I'm so happy for you. You two are perfect for each other."
"Thank you! You know, there are two other people who are perfect for each other too..."
"Drop it. He's not interested in me like that. We had that one near miss and nothing since. I'm blaming the blow to his head."
"I'm calling bullshit. You two need your heads knocking together."
I laugh because it's still weird to me to hear the daughter of the towns preacher curse.
"You call it whatever you want. Just go bask in happiness. I'll see you tomorrow. Night."
I close my eyes and dream of a parallel universe where my best friend and I are more than just friends.
