Prom date 1

Jeneya's POV

So prom is just around the corner . It's in a few weeks and I'm in a dilemma. I really want to go and enjoy like everyone is else but nobody asked me for a date . It's frustrating. Daisy already got her 14 guys asking for a date . But not a single soul care to ask me . I wonder if Shawn got a date , I heard he broke up with his girlfriend recently. Maybe I should try my luck and ask him. He might actually agree out of pity if I told him I want to go but I got no date . But what if I get rejected? That would be horrible. What ama I thinking he can literally got any girl in the school. . Should I ask Jayden to set us up? Nah , not a good idea. He'll just laughed at me .

It's not that uncommon to not have a date . Some people just go in groups and enjoy. But that's not an option for me . I'm sure Daisy will choose one of those guys. I can't tell her to reject them all because I don't have a date . I mean , she might agree but that's not a fair thing to do.

" Hey Jeneya ! Do you recognise me ? I'm David from your chemistry class . " A guy suddenly said walking up to me .

" Oh hi David.!" I smiled akwardly. I've seen this guy in class but we've never talked before. Is he going to ask me to prom?

" Do you think you could...." He started saying.

OMG yes , something finally ask me .

" Yes of course I'll." I said before he finished. He's not that good looking but atleast I got a date.

" Really? You're the best . Please make sure she agreed." He beamed.

"What ?" I asked puzzled.

" Daisy, you just said you'd set me up with Daisy. I'm so happy right now . Thank you so much." He thank me and walk away leaving me speechless.

So he wasn't asking me for a date . Oh god , I wanna crawl into corner and never come out . That was so embarassing. I wish the ground would just swallow me up .

Why ? What's wrong with me ? Why won't anyone ask me ? I mean I'm pretty, I'm smart well kinda smart, I have great taste and I have an amazing personality.

See .. nothing's wrong with me . That's right. Something is wrong with them not me definitely not me .

I should probably ask mom for some advice. Girls usually talk to their about things like this right.

I went home that day determined to seek advice from mom. She was in the kitchen doing the dishes. I walk to her and said " Hey Mom! Do you have a minute?"

" Of course sweety . What is it ?" She washed her hands and sat down in one the chairs.

" Well , prom is coming up and I wanted ask your advice regarding some things." I smiled nervously.

" Why of course that is one of my favourite memory ? You see my prom night is still one of the most memorable night for me .. It's every high school teens' dream to be on a prom and we surely made that day wonderful. Whatever we did, we made sure that it'll make us happy. For one evening; we were teenagers that lived like were going to die tomorrow, and most of all; we enjoyed everything that we can never do again after we graduated. Everything about our prom is magical. That's why my prom night was an unforgettable event because of its atmosphere and all of the memories.

So we did everything we can to make the night the finest. My friends and I were gleefully dancing at the center of the hall with twirling neon green lasers, blinking circular white lights and rainbow-colored Aztec-printed lasers; arms reaching high, fingers spread, head held up high and we moved symmetrically with the coolest and most played mixes. We were bare-footed, jumping with our arms thrown in the air, singing the lyrics unintentionally and pulling some irrational steps that doesn't even exist. Its freezing and we were all sweaty after that crazy disco. After the DJ removed the party mixes, he dropped the passionate music that completes the atmosphere of the couples since the night was cold and shady. It was perfect scenery for them; the lights changed with fuchsia pink floral prints in the light swirling around the hall, the smoke was sprayed and the bubbles started to flew. Gentlemen started to walk and ask the ladies to dance with them. Couples swayed back and forth, side by side; embraced with each other. The lass steadily wrapped her arms around him with her right hand locked with the lad's. The music began playing. They turned, dipped within the beats, they moved with every muscle of their bodies with affection. He twirled her around within the music and dance with her in many random beats. After the romantic tunes were slipped away in the ether, the grooving music played again and the beats gone like "boom boom bibap bibap", the lights were changed into lasers that were neon blue that time and we sang proudly with the beats as we walked again to dance. And the rest of the night was a blast, after the ball; they all just slept snoring at full volume on the icy floor of our classroom. Then there's me, smiling like an idiot because in that moment I knew; my high school was worth remembering." She narrated with a dreamy look .

" So you didn't go to prom with a date ? You didn't mention your date ." I asked curious.

" No sweety , I went with my friends and we all enjoyed it . We didn't need a date . Also I never had a boyfriend in highschool.

I met my first boyfriend in college." She explained.

" So you and dad go to the same college?" I asked .

" No not your dad . I met him after Uni when I'm 27 ." She said.

" Well mom, no one asked me for a prom date . But I don't have many friends. And my best friend is probably going with a date . So many guys wanted to go with her . I feel bad asking her to go with me instead." I told mom my dilemma.

" Honey , it's okay. There's still a few weeks before prom . You have plenty of time . Just do what you think is the best. And it's not too late for people to ask you for a date ." She comfort me .Mom always knows the right words to say and that's why I love her .

" Thanks mom. I feel a lot better. I love you ." I said hugging her .

" Love you too honey . Go get some rest. I'll finish the dishes." She replied.

I went to my room and day dream about a magical night.
