Oh! It's prom today!
I couldn't believe, today was the day. I waited outside the gym, where the prom was. There Suzie was, in a short, yellow dress. It actually wasn't the prettiest. I'd give it a 6 on a scale to 10.
"Ned!" Suzie exclaimed, "You look so great! How do I look? I spent hours choosing the dress."
"Thanks," I sighed, "Um... Wow, Suzie!" I tried to act amazed, "You shouldn't even be asking me that! You look more amazing than any girl I've ever seen!" I didn't wanna hurt her feelings.
"You're still the sweetest," Suzie smiled, "Come on, Ned. We're gonna dance, first."
"Yeah, okay," I said, "Whatever."
Suzie grabbed my hand and squeezed it. She held it tight as we walked in to the gym room. And there was Moze, in a beautiful blue dress! God, she's hot!
I didn't like being seen with Suzie anymore.
"Suzie fell for your note?" Moze asked, "Nice, hot shot."
"Yeah," I replied, lying, "She did."
"What note?" Suzie asked.
"Note?" I laughed, "Suzie, there was no note! What are you talking about!"
"I thought I heard you talking about some note," Suzie blinked slower now, "Weren't you?"
"No!" I protested.
"Okay... Ned, let's go dance," Suzie said, "Hello, Jennifer. How's it going?"
"Uh, it's good," Moze said, "Thanks for asking, Suzie. I see you're going out with Ned again. I came here with my new boyfriend, and date. Seth. Ned... I looked all over the school for that Doug guy... I couldn't find him."
"I dunno," I looked away.
"Ned, you're being weird right now!" Suzie said, "Nice talking to you again, Jennifer. Have fun."
Suzie grabbed my hand and pulled me over to where all the couples were dancing. Ugh! STUPID SUZIE!
"Come on!" Suzie exclaimed, "Dance!"
She was doing a really stupid dance.
"Hey everyone!" The DJ announced, "We have our first special song request! This one's a nice romantic song for all you lovers out there! Requested by our friend, Cook!"
I'm gonna get Cookie for this!
But, I knew why Cookie did this. It was so he could finally dance with Lisa. I saw him getting close to Lisa and dancing with her now. And then, there was Seth. He took Moze's hand, and they slow danced. When did Seth become such a good dancer? Hmm...
"Uh, Suzie," I said, "I have to go to the bathroom. Be right back, sweetie!"
I rushed to the bathroom. The sooner away, the better!
There was a chair in the hallway, where the two bathrooms were. And there was Moze! Why would she be sitting down while her dreamy Seth was waiting out there for her!
"What are you doing?" I asked, "Why aren't you with Seth right now?"
"I feel so twisted and bad," Moze bit her lip, "I didn't get to meet Doug! He seemed like a perfect match for me! And instead I'm here with Seth. He's not even my type!"
"Oh..." I sighed, "I'm not exactly happy with my date, either. Suzie's not the best girlfriend to me."
"Now you notice." Moze rolled her eyes.
"Well, it's not your fault you didn't meet Doug," I reminded her, "You tried your hardest to find him. Maybe he was out sick that day! It's no biggy."
"True," Moze said, "Did Suzie tell you that you look really good in that tux?"
"Yeah." I said, "Why?"
"Because you do," Moze laughed, "I really missed all the best friend time we had in middle school. We barely talk! Are we friends?"
"No," I smiled, "We're best friends."
"Coolio," Moze said, "I just wasn't sure anymore. I'm glad you re-assured me, though."
"You know, I felt the same way," I said, "It's normal. I wonder if Cookie's doing alright. I'm not."
"Neither am I," Moze sighed, "My date's a total nut!"
"We all make mistakes," I laughed, "And I made one, too."
"What's that?" Moze asked.
"The same thing," Ned replied, "My date is a total nut!"
"Suzie Crabgrass?" Moze was shocked, "Suzie's not a nut! In fact, she's smart, she's pretty, and she's a really great girl. Aren't you happy with her?"
"Not really," I said, "I really feel that I made a mistake wanting to go out with her to prom."
"Uh... Well..." Moze bit her lip, "I bet Seth's waiting for me... I better go."
"The same with Suzie," I smiled, "It was good talking to you, Moze."
