I laughed:)
That was Diya... Always blunt and sarcastic. I jokingly got down on one knee and offered her the ring I always wore: gold with a purple heart stone inset.
"Diya, will you go to prom with me?"
"Yeah," she answered, smiling and taking the ring.
I'd worn it for years, but it didn't bother me at all to see her slip it on instead. I felt proud, like she was declaring our friendship to everyone.
"We should change our Facebook statuses to 'married' now that you have a ring and all," I joked.
She laughed and did it right that second. I couldn't stop smiling for the rest of the day. I didn't care that no boy had asked me. I was happier going with her. I knew it would be more fun anyway.
***********************
"Do you know if Rahul is going to the party with anyone?" She whispered to me during class a couple of days later. I felt a prick in my stomach.😕
Why did she want to know? She was going with me. I realized that maybe she just saw me as a placeholder date — there if she couldn't get a real date — and hadn't been really serious about going together.™
