Drabble #8: PROMposal

Prompted by: Me, again, sorry... Gotta get back to that prompt list...

Eddie

Okay so thanks to Amber, we are having an end of year prom. Yay! Yeah, not yay. I think we all know that proms aren't exactly my style. I'm sure that they aren't Yackers style either. I was going up to her room to talk to her about it.

"Yacker, I'm coming in!" I shout, knowing she's listening to music. I open the door and and what do ya know: she was. I tap on her shoulder causing her to jump, and remove her headphones.

"Oh hey." She mutters, sitting up.

"Hey I was just wondering, what are we doing for prom?" I ask.

"What's that supposed to mean?" She ask, looking confused.

"Are we like matching clothes or are we like ditching and staying outside or-"

"What makes you think we're going to prom together?" She says, clearly taken aback.

"Who says we're not?!" I say, trying to remain calm.

"You haven't asked me yet..." She mumbles, shaking her head.

"Okay fine: You, me: prom." I say, and immediately regretting it.

"No no no, Edison. A proper promposal, until then, I'm going alone." She smirks, exiting the room. I sigh, and then head back downstairs to my room. I now pull my headphones over my ears, until I see Fabian try to get my attention.

"How'd it go with Patricia?" He asks, and I just shake my head.

"Horrible, so far, we're both going alone." I mutter, flinging my headphones into the nightstand. There sits a picture of Yacker and I, kissing. Weird, right? Anyways...

"You didn't ask her properly, did you?" He laughs.

"No..." I sigh, embarrassed.

"Try talking to the girls. Joy, Mara, KT..." He suggests, and that's just what I do. I run out of the door, up the stairs and into Yacker's room: still not there, perfect. But this time I see Joy and KT are there, talking amongst themselves.

"What do you want?" Joy asks, as I shoot her a glare.

"I was just wondering..." I trail off, shutting the door behind me. "How do I get Patricia to go to prom with me?" Joy laughs and speaks up:

"I don't know, how do you Mr. Confidence?" This causes even KT to laugh. "Okay, first...she told what you did. And that's exactly how not to ask her."

"Yeah, we may be talking about Patricia here, but remember, she's still a girl. You can't just force a girl to go to prom with you, even if she's your girlfriend." KT explains.

"So what do I do?" I ask.

"Alright, come over here and we'll explain." Joy smirks, and we begin to cook up a plan.

The next day, my plan begins to go into action.

Patricia

I'm a little mad at Eddie because of yesterday. I mean, who even does that?! I walk into first class and see that the room is empty. I turn my head to see Alfie, holding a sign with a note:

Yacker, I'm sorry about yesterday. Forgive me? P.S. follow the arrow.

I glance down at the rest of the paper, and a giant P is in the middle. Underneath the P is an arrow, pointing out the door. Outside, taped to the lockers is another. I follow that when I see Joy: holding another piece of paper.

Yacker, I hope you've accepted my apology. I believe Joy has a gift for you...?

I laugh when she hands me the new Sick Puppies CD, signed, may I add, and says: "Just go with it." I manage a laugh, and then follow the arrow. I then see another sheet of paper, pinned on the board of the hall, and it had a giant R on it, and an arrow. I roll my eyes and continue to follow the arrows.

An O and an M follow, with its own personalized messages, and I am following the arrows into the drama room when I see that there is a trail of rose petals, leading to the stage. Then outcomes Eddie, in his school uniform, his leather jacket a touch of personalization. He holds a rose and then places it on the table. Eddie comes over to me, takes my hands, and begins to speak:

"Beautiful Yacker will you please, go to prom with me?" He looks me in the eye, and pulls out a slip of paper from his pocket. He unfolds it and it holds a question mark, and I just grin.

"Yes, Slimeball." I say, and our lips meet.
