This book is gay

Leona

It was 2 weeks before prom. Jenny, the prom comity and I have decided that the theme would be fairytale themed. We've gathered all the decorations, got the catering in advance and a dj. The tickets are already on sale and the principal has given us the ok for all the prom things. Now we just have to wait for the week of prom to decorate the gym.
Everything about the prom was perfect except for one major problem.
No one asked me to prom.
I know it's weeks before prom but I honestly would have thought someone would have asked me. I mean I don't have that many guy friends but I just thought that maybe someone was crushing on me and was going to ask me out. Maybe even some lesbians but I got no one.
So the plan was to find someone to take me to the dance. I looked around the cafeteria and thought about my options. Jenny is going with her cousin, Vanessa. Vanessa got a thousand prom proposals but turned them all down so I'm not even gonna try. June is going with Naomi even though Naomi's going with Manolo. Anielka is gonna try to fight Naomi to go with Manolo. Nikki's going with Nick and Amaya. Simone and N'kia are going together as always. Emillia's going with her boyfriend, Jordan. Zeda's going with Ricky, why, I don't know because he's an asshole.
I looked around the lunch room. There was literally no one to go with. I plopped down on the lunch table's chair. I crossed my arms as I thought about how no one asked me to prom. Like without my help y'all's prom wouldn't be as bomb as its about to be!
Just then Brandon walked by. I jumped up from my table and screamed his name.
He and everyone in the lunch room turned around. I smiled and waved,"Hey Do you have anyone to go to prom with?"
"I was going to go with Twyla."
"Dang it!"
Brandon smirked,"No one asked you?"
"No," I put my hands on my hips,"And I don't know why you're smirking about it."
"Oh sorry, it's a nervous tick."
"Hmph."
"Why don't you ask one of the Reneau brothers?"
"Naomi's brothers?"
"Yea, I mean they're nice enough. Except Duncan. I wouldn't fuck with that."
I scanned the cafeteria,"What about Tyler?"
"He's taken remember? Pregnant girlfriend? Besides he doesn't even go here anymore."
"Really?"
"Uh, he graduated last year." Brandon scrunched up his face.
"Well sorry if I had more important things to do than know about other people's lives." I gently touched my chest,"Besides...I was out of a few months."
"Sorry, I forgot about that," he avoided my eyes,"But he was like the most popular kid in school. And the nicest."
I began to walk back to my lunch table,"Well on to the next brother. Kyle."
"Nope. He's going with Ken."
"Are you serious?!" I grabbed my head,"Why? That dude is so judgmental and he dresses like Barbie."
"They're like best friends."
"I thought they were together?"
"No, Duncan's the gay one."
I searched the room for Duncan,"The manliest, strongest, looks like a giant bear, captain of the football team is gay?"
"You can't stereotype gays, Leona."
"True, I guess. It's just that media has me thinking that all gay men are just like females. They love makeup and sashaying down the hallways to talk about drama. So Duncan's existence completely crushes that image."
Just then I felt a tap on my shoulder. Lars Reau stood in front of me, sweating like a pig with flowers shaking in his hand. His freckles face was red and his hair matted to his head,"H-hey Leo, I was wondering-"
"Wait!" I turned to Brandon,"Record this!"
Once I saw Brandons phone up, I turned back to a nervous and confused Lars,"Ok you may continue."
"O...kay..." I handed me the flowers,"I was like wondering if you would like. Like want to go to prom with me? I mean you don't have to if you don't. I know you have a ton more offers."
"Of course I'll go to prom with you!" I hugged him,"Oh god, you're so sweaty."
