During the Prom

[_dawnie_]

I still wish I could be here with Avasa, but you know, I'm having a lot more fun than I thought I would. It's nice seeing everyone dressed up, the band is really good, and I'm having a great time with J, Jordy and Amanda. I said hi to Sophie and Scott earlier, but they're kind of staying away from us. I think it's probably because of the whole

Well, this sucks like hell. Here I am at the fucking Sunnydale Senior Prom, 'cause I thought I'd run into Heather. Jordan too, maybe. Can't say I'd mind a repeat of the other night, ya know?

The punch isn't even spiked. What kinda Prom is this?

I'm about to blow this place and go to the Bronze or somewhere when I see a tall, pretty girl who looks sorta familiar, standin' by herself. I walk over to her. "Hey, beautiful," I say.

Huh? I stare at him, wide-eyed. This is one of the guys who works with Avasa. I can't think of his name, but I recognize him. Mostly because a lot of the girls lust madly for him. He is cute, but... something about his expression makes me a little nervous.

"Um... hi."

See, I shoulda been chatting up these high school cuties a long time ago. Why not? Worse they can do is say no. "You here by yourself?" I lean a little closer. She is pretty. Nothin' like California girls. That old song was right.

Dude. This guy is so trying to pick me up. I'm kinda shocked. Wait a minute, why is he at the prom anyway? He doesn't work for the school. I wouldn't think he'd be a chaperone.

I move very slightly away. "No, I'm here with friends. Big ones who are football players."

"Then what're you doing standin' all by yourself?" I ask. "You want some punch or somethin'?" I try on the megawatt Delacour smile, the one that's almost guaranteed to get results.

Want some candy, little girl? I think. Eww. This is just getting gross.

"Nope." I want somebody to show up and rescue me from this horndog, I think, glancing around to see if anyone's in sight.

Great. It's weird neighbor girl. "What'm I doing here?" I say. "What does it look like I'm doin'?" I smile wickedly, hoping to throw her off balance.

The cute little girlie I was talking to slips away into the crowd, and I focus all my attention on this girl. I smirk at her. "You gonna make me?"

I'm really hopin' to get her rattled. That'd be fun.
