Came home from prom
What was a blast!
You didn't think you could
Have so much fun
But you
Did.
You decided to tie your hair
Into a messy bun
It's all the rage now
Mom tells you.
Mark has a corsage
"I thought it would be
Geeky" he
Tells you,
Blushing again.
"But Mom
Told me to"
You give him a kiss
Just a peck on the cheek
But he turns red again
And you laugh.
He has a car –
No limo, but
It's nice.
You jump in the front seat
All excited
And you look over.
He looks excited
Too.
You make small talk
In the car,
Just discussing the songs on the
Radio and the
Weather and other
Small
Talk.
Then you get there
It's your high school
But different somehow.
The prom committee really did their jobs.
'Summer Lovin' '
Is the theme.
Music from 'Grease' plays
So loudly you can hear it
From outside.
Mark parks the car
And opens the door for you –
What a sweetie –
And you walk to the door.
"You've got tickets?"
Yes, Mark has them
In his pocket.
He gives them to the guy at the door
And you walk inside.
Everything is different.
The world is different now
And you love it.
You give your jacket to
The guy in the
Coats booth
And you start to dance.
It's a fast song
And the two of you dance
Like there's no tomorrow
Mark's an interesting dancer –
His movements are a little jerky
But they make him more endearing
Somehow.
Time flies by
As you two have fun.
Then the music suddenly
Stops.
"Last song tonight"
They say
And everyone groans
Including you two
Because you don't want it to
End.
A slow song starts playing.
You look at Mark –
And you're shy,
For once –
And he looks back at you.
You move together and you're a
Perfect
Match.
Dancing slowly to the beat
Your head on his shoulder
His arms around your waist
And even though you don't know Mark
Almost at all
Somehow you feel
Deep inside
That this is special.
That he is special
And you smile.
You smile all night long
And when you wake up –
After being dropped off by Mark
And his car –
You're still smiling.
A/N: Merry Christmas everyone!
