In the end, Josh convinced me. More than that, he bought my ticket to prom. After school he stopped at the at the booth the Prom Committee set up next to the auditorium, but I didn’t think anything of it because I knew he had a date with Allison. When he whirled around with a conspiratorial grin on his face, though, I knew.

That loyal bastard.

“Prom is on,” he said, as he walked up to where I waited for him next to the stairs. “Get ready for a night you will never forget.”

“You mean, a night you will never forget,” I said, making my way down the first few steps and hoping that I read my friend’s expression wrong. “Your night with Allison.”

“No way.” He waved a stack of tickets in my face. “I’ve got three tickets here. Me. Allison. And you.”

“Come on. You know I’m not going. I already told you and Allison.”

“Yeah, you are. You’re coming.” He handed a ticket over to me, but I didn’t take it. It disgusted me. It might as well have been covered in mucus. “You don’t even have to pay me back, Geoff.”

We stood outside the building now, and all around us students rushed to get in their cars and head home, or to practice. Electricity hung in the air, too, through hushed chatters, girls shooting their prom dates shy glances, and conversations that focused on flowers, dress colors, and tuxedo sizes. This wasn’t just any weekend. This was the start of prom weekend. The best weekend in all of our shared high school experiences.

Or so they all said.

“Everyone’s going,” Josh said, after a couple of seconds of just staring at me like I had a disease. “Everyone.”

“Well, not me.” I thought about Blake and Bruce. They had dates, of course, two sophomore cheerleaders that hung around their lockers laughing too loud, and who seemed to like the twins for their status on the state championship football team. In fact, I suspected those girls just spent time with my stepbrothers so they could get to the dance themselves. Underclassmen girls were always pulling shit like that. It was something of a status symbol to date a guy two years older, and even more of a triumph to show up at prom.

Not that Blake and Bruce cared if those chicks wanted to use them. They seemed to like having two younger girls follow them around, as if they were Greek gods. Every night at dinner this week they’d been talking about prom, and all week I had wanted to be sick at dinner. Those fuckers always got everything they wanted. Everything.

“Come on man, school dances are overrated,” I said, trying to sound like I didn’t care and wondering why no one would accept this answer from me. I didn’t want to go. No big deal. Why couldn’t anyone understand that?

“Whatever, Geoff. If you don’t go, Evan wins.”

I squinted at my best friend. “What makes you say that?”

“He gets the girl, for sure. He spends the whole night with her, and you won’t even see ‘er.
