Prom

Prom is coming up in a few weeks. This is my first time going. I’m not entirely sure what to expect, since my school’s prom is technically a “junior-senior banquet” but I’m excited. I’m picking out my dress and accessories (everything will have just the right amount of sparkle!) and talking to my friends about pre-prom and after-prom plans, like where we should get ready and where we should take pictures and whether we should go dancing or bowling or laser tag or to the movies after the prom. Either way we will have a great time.

I doubt any guy is going to ask me. This sophomore guy I know pretty well asked me if either I or one of my friends would take him, so technically if I did that would be me asking him. One of my other friends is going with her special friend and this is a happy thing.

Whatever happens, I want it to be special. I don’t want to look forward to it and then be disappointed. Sometimes I build up my expectations and then am let down, and I hope prom is everything I want it to be.
