Danny

Saying that Dan is nervous isnt completely true, sure the boy is sitting in a room full of sluts and a principal, but he wasnt nervous for what was going to happen.

Honestly this is the most sure he's felt in a couple days.

"Okay ladies- and gentleman- we're all here to talk about the requirements to be eligible to run for Prom Queen," Mrs. Ramsey says while passing each girl- and Dan- a sheet of paper.

"Let's look over it shall we?" She smiles and starts reading the list.

"Number one, each person running has to have at least a 2.5 GPA. If one does not reach this requirement, they will be immediately disqualified."

To my left he sees a girl shift in her seat, and bite her lip. Guess she's not running. Daniel, on the other hand, has maintained a 3.4 this year.

"Number two, you may not have more than two police citations and may not be have been convicted for any misdemeanors or felonies."

"Number three, you may not have been in detention more than two times this semester."

The girl to Dan's right stands up and leaves quickly, and Mrs. Ramsey rolls her eyes.

"Please remain seated until the end. Number four- you have to have at least ten community service hours. These have to do documented and given to your guidance counselor."

Dan smiles and remembers how he volunteered at Rebecca's shop a few months back.

"Lastly- you have to have a date of the opposite gender. That is all," Mrs. Ramsey says and the girls surrounding Dan stand to leave.

Dan, however, stays seated. Once everyone leaves, Mrs. Ramsey looks up at him, "yes Daniel?"

"Ma'am, I dont mean to be rude. But my boyfriend and I were planning on attending prom together. And hes running for prom king, could I please run with him? We've been planning this for months." Dan pleads with the older woman in front of him.

She sighs and takes her glasses off, folds them then placing them on her desk, all before responding to Dan.

"Daniel, I'm sure you are aware of how many rules we had to bend just to allow you to run for prom queen as a male. We respect your identity and your sexuality but we cannot bend another rule for you. That would be a disadvantage for the ladies running against you."

Dan's eyes filled with tears," but-but I've been planning this for so long!"

Mrs. Ramsey's face is painted with empathy, "Daniel the only thing that I could tell you is that I'm sure you have many female friends."

Dan's head jerks up at the reminder, Louise!

Louise would definitely come with him if he asked and promised her ice cream afterwards.

"Thank you Mrs. Ramsey. I'll be on my way then," Dan announces before leaving her office.

He rushes to the front desk where Louise is sat, "hey Danny! So I was just thinking, silver or gold shoes? Maybe black? What do yo-"

"Louise I need you to go to prom with me," Dan cuts her off bluntly.

Louise shifts in her seat, "I'm sorry Danny...I've already agreed to go with PJ. You know him right? Hes with the newspaper?"

Dan's heart drops. If Louise cant go with him to prom- who will? Dan smiles at the nervous girl in front of him.

"Its okay..I'll figure something else out. See you at lunch?"
