Vanished

Prom

So were at the prom. Carolyn runs to the ballot box right as we get there and puts in a bunch of votes for me and Ryan. I don't want to be prom queen. I just want to get this over with. To make Carolyn and Ryan happy. Friends first. Always.

They play a slow song and Ryan asked me to dance with him, so I do. I love dancing with him. He is so gentle and just laughs at me when I step on his feet which makes me feel good. Carolyn and her boyfriend broke up last month so she doesn't go and dance. I excuse myself from the dance half way through and ask Carolyn to dance with me just like we did in middle school when we were lonely together. So we go out and have the time of our lives. This night might not be as bad as I thought.

Thinking about her breakup with Luis makes me imagine what I would feel like if Ryan and I broke up. We have been together for three years now, and I wouldn't want it any other way.

We go drink punch and I eat like twelve cupcakes, when the zipper on my dress breaks. Panic mode activated. My friend Jonali sees me freaking out and brings me the little jacket she is wearing to cover up the zipper. Nobody seemed to notice so I feel safe for now.

Ten o'clock, time to go home. Ryan takes me home and I go right to bed. This night turned out pleasant.
