"You're going to prom with Penelope?" Frank asked Gerard as they and Ray walked through the halls before 3rd period started. Gerard had just mentioned to his friends what had happened to him in his art class.

"Yeah," he said. "Like I said, Penelope asked me if I wanted to go with her to prom and I said yes."

"I didn't know you liked her." Ray said.

"Well, I don't know, I mean she is kind of pretty, and we both really like art. I don't know, I think I might like her. I'm not really the type to get crushes. But you never know, maybe this could turn into a relationship."

"How about you Toro?" Frank turned to Ray. "Do you have a date to prom yet?"

"No."

"Well, he did almost ask Charlotte to go with him." Gerard stated while smirking at Ray. "But he chickened out and decided to spin around in his chair instead."

Frank started laughing at what Gerard said and then shook his head at Ray.

"Hey, she thought it was cute." Ray stated.

"At least you got her to laugh." Frank said. "That means you're a little closer to asking her out."

"What are you talking about?"

"I have no idea. All I know is that it's apparently a good thing if you could make a girl laugh. I mean, Madison likes it when I make her laugh. So maybe you still have a chance with Charlotte if she thinks you're cute and funny"

"Well, we have 3rd period with her." Gerard stated. "So that means you have another chance to ask her to prom Ray."

"Shit!" a male voice suddenly screamed out.

The three friends turned around and saw Ray's ex girlfriend Natalie's current boyfriend Rick red with anger as he slammed his locker closed and kicked the empty pill bottles that fell out of it and were now scattered on the floor. A few people stopped to see what had happened, some snickering.

Gerard and Ray then turned to Frank smiling; they knew he had something to do with the incident.

"Looks like you aren't the only one that needs happy pills Gee." Frank said as he continued to smile.

"Did you see what just happened to Rick?" Charlotte asked Mikey as they walked through the halls before 3rd period started.

"He looked so pissed." Mikey stated. "It was probably Frank's doing. That looked like some of his dirty work."

"Anyway Mikey, I wanted to ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Well, it seems like everyone is going to prom." Charlotte started. "Everyone except you since you're just a sophomore. And I don't have a date so I was wondering if you'd like go with me. You know, as friends."

"I thought that you would want to go with that Dwight guy." Mikey said.

Dwight Taylor was a good looking built boy with icy blue eyes and medium length dark brown hair that Charlotte had an on and off relationship with. They really liked each other, but it seemed like their relationship was too much of a light switch so they had decided to take some time off.

"I'm not sure how Dwight and I are feeling about one another at the moment." Charlotte notified. "Plus, it would be more fun if you came. Gerard is going with Penelope so maybe us four could just double."

"Gerard and Penelope are going together?" Mikey asked.

"Yeah, Penelope asked Gerard to go with her during art class and he said he'd love to."

"Oh."

"So, would you care to be my date to prom?"

Mikey started to smile like a small child and then gave Charlotte a hug.

"Okay. I'd love to go. Prom sounds fun."

"Yay!" Charlotte exclaimed. "I'm sure we're going to have a blast."

"Hey Mikey." someone then said from behind the two.

Mikey and Charlotte turned around and saw Blake Kings, Mikey's long time crush who was possibly tried to flirt with him during 1st period.

"Um, hi Blake." Mikey said shyly as he started to blush.

"Listen." Blake started. "I was wondering, would you like go to prom with me?"

Mikey's smile grew and started to blush like crazy. But his smile got smaller when he turned to Charlotte. He had forgotten that he already had plans for prom.

"Oh, I'm sorry Blake but I-"

"Mikey would love to go to prom with you Blake." Charlotte interjected.

"Great." Blake exclaimed. "I'll pick you up at around 6."

Blake then leaned forward and gave Mikey a small peck on his blushing cheek.

"See you."

Blake then left for his next class.

"Aw Charlotte, you didn't have to do that for me." Mikey told Charlotte when Blake was gone.

"But I know how much you like Blake." Charlotte stated. "And you looked so excited when he asked you out. I don't want you to miss this chance to go to prom with your dream guy."

"Thanks Charlotte." Mikey said as he gave his friend a big hug. When he released her, he let out a big sigh. "But now I feel bad. You still don't have a date to prom."

"Don't worry; I still have time to find my dream guy."
