AUTHOR'S NOTE: Heyy loves! So this chapter is the moment you've all been waiting for! Tommy is going to ask Connor out to prom! :D I won't delay you with a long, boring author's note, let's get to the action and see how Connor takes this news!

Connor was sitting in the cafeteria during lunch, more interested in his telekinesis books than his was in his food. Suddenly, someone sat down across from him. "Hey Connor" a friendly voice said. Connor jumped, dropping his book on the table. There, sitting right across form Connor, was none other than Tommy Ross. "Sorry" Tommy said sheepishly after seeing Connor jump. Wait, what on Earth was TOMMY ROSS doing here?! "I looked for you at the library, because that's where they said you were, but I couldn't find you, so I thought maybe you'd be here" Tommy explained. Wait, THE Tommy Ross had been looking for Connor?!

"Oh cool, telekinesis" Tommy said. Connor panicked, until he realized with embarrassment that Tommy was just talking about Connor's book. Connor quickly put his book away in his backpack. "Hey, it's cool, isn't that like hypnosis or something? Me and my friends tried that once, we actually managed to hypnotize my bro's dog! At least, I think we did. His dog is really stupid, maybe it was just having one of its moments" Tommy rambled with a goofy smile. Jeez was he ever hot. But why was he here, talking to Connor of all people?!

"So…uh…how ya doin'?" Tommy asked lamely. Connor snapped out of it as he realized that he hadn't said a word in response to Tommy since he had sat down across from Connor. He was also aware that he had just been staring at Tommy the whole time, like a creep. SAY SOMETHING! Connor mentally scolded himself. "I'm ok" Connor managed to say. "Good. Um…so you know how prom's next weekend?" Tommy asked. Connor just stared at Tommy in confusion. "Well, uh, I was sorta, kinda wondering, if you would, possibly, like to go with me, maybe?" Tommy asked nervously. Connor's mind raced. "What?" Connor asked, certain that he had misunderstood the question. "I was wondering if you'd like to be my prom date Connor" Tommy asked again, this time with more confidence.

Connor had no idea what to think or do. This couldn't be real. Connor looked over at one of the other tables. There were a couple of girls staring at Connor and Tommy, and then they started whispering and giggling to each other. Of course, this must be some kind of dare or prank or something. It was clearly some sort of joke. There's no way Tommy Ross would EVER really ask Connor out to prom. Even if Tommy wasn't going with his perfect girlfriend, he could go with literally anyone in school. There's no way that anyone would ever just CHOOSE Connor for anything, let alone Tommy Ross, especially for prom. Without saying anything, Connor got up from the table and ran out of the cafeteria.

Tommy followed Connor down the hallway. "Connor, wait!" Tommy called. Tommy caught up to Connor, and gently took his arm. Connor spun around to face Tommy. "Just stop it. Please Tommy, just stop trying to trick me. It hurts bad enough to get bullied by everyone else in my life, you don't understand how much it hurts me to have you tricking me. I can't take it" Connor said, trying to hold his tears back. "No, Connor, I'm not tricking you" Tommy tried to say. Connor just shook his head and ran down the hallway, tears streaming down his face.

Miss Desjardin found Connor crying in the boys' bathroom after school. "Connor! What happened?" Miss Desjardin asked. "I…I…I got asked out to prom" Connor said with a sniffle. "Really? That's great! Who asked you?" Miss Desjardin asked. "Tommy Ross" Connor replied, starting to cry all over again. Miss Desjardin tried to hide her shock, and pretended to be optimistic for Connor's sake. "Wow, Tommy Ross? He is pretty dreamy huh?" Miss Desjardin said. "Yeah. I mean, he's perfect. He's the only guy I've ever really truly had a major crush on. But I'm not as stupid as everyone thinks I am. I know he's dating Sue Snell. They're both perfect, and good looking, and popular. I'm not any of those things. He could go with anyone in the entire school. So it must be a trick…right?" Connor asked, looking at Miss Desjardin with watery blue eyes.

"Well, maybe he really meant it" Miss Desjardin suggested. "No. It just can't be real. Tommy would never choose me. He couldn't have really meant it" Connor said. "Yes he could, and I bet he did" Miss Desjardin said. "Why? I'm nothing special. I'm not even good looking. Tommy would never choose someone as ugly as me" Connor said sadly. Miss Desjardin was surprised by this, Connor was honestly a very attractive guy. Miss Desjardin brought Connor over to a mirror above one of the sinks. She pushed Connor's bangs out of his face. "You know what I see? A handsome young man who is fully deserving of someone as amazing as Tommy Ross. I'll bet Tommy himself sees it. And if you look hard enough, I bet you can find that guy in the mirror too" Miss Desjardin said. Connor stared in the mirror. Was Miss Desjardin just trying to make Connor feel better, or could what she was saying actually be true?

Connor walked home from school the next day, thinking about what Miss Desjardin had said the day before. Connor had been looking in the mirror more, with his bangs out of his face, trying to see what Miss Desjardin said that she saw and what she thought Tommy might see too. Connor still had a lot of doubts, but he did wonder if maybe it were possible that maybe he was being too hard on himself. He did have powers, which was really cool. That made Connor less lame. He wondered if that was something he could just show people though. Probably not. He didn't want to freak anyone out, especially Tommy. Still, if there was one thing that was cool about Connor, then it was technically possible that there could be other good things about Connor too, right?

Connor was so lost in his thought, that he didn't even notice the beaten up black Jeep in his driveway until he saw Tommy Ross exit it. Connor panicked. Mama's car wasn't in the driveway, luckily she was still at work. Connor knew that she would be coming home soon though, and if she saw Tommy…Connor couldn't even think about it. He had to get rid of Tommy.

Connor ran up the driveway to Tommy. "Surprise!" Tommy said excitedly with his gorgeous goofy grin. "Tommy! What on Earth are you doing here?! How do you even know where I live?!" Connor asked. "Miss Desjardin pulled some strings for me. You never gave me an answer about prom" Tommy explained. Connor frantically watched the road for any signs of Mama's car. He panicked at every car that drove past. "I already told you, I don't appreciate you tricking me. You can't be here Tommy. You seriously have to go. Now" Connor said. "I told you, I'm not tricking you. Would I really go to all of the trouble of finding where you live and driving over here just to continue to jokingly ask you out to prom when there's no one here and I could just do that at school?" Tommy asked. Connor hesitated. Tommy did have a point. "Aren't you with Sue Snell?" Connor asked. "I was with Sue Snell. I dumped her" Tommy said. Connor was surprised, and tried not to be too happy.

"I'm not leaving until you say yes" Tommy said teasingly. "Why is this so important to you?!" Connor asked in exasperation. "Because…I think that we would have a good time together. I really did think that what you read in English class was awesome. That was a poem about that guy from the Bible with the really long hair who was really strong and brought the temple down, right? Samson" Tommy said. Connor was surprised. He didn't know that Tommy knew Bible stories, or the poem that Connor had read aloud in class. Connor jumped as another car drove past. "Yes. Yes, I'll go to prom with you" Connor said quickly.
