*Niamh's POV*

Being a geek in Styles High isn't easy especially when you are a video game geek. It's not my fault that I find the gaming world fascinating and would prefer to spend my time playing video games rather than anything else. I didn't have any friends because no one wanted to talk to me. I was a loner. An outcast.

I spent all my school life living in shadows. Now that day comes to an end. Just few more months and I will not be this way anymore.  But before that I have to tackle ONE hurdle.  SENIOR PROM.

It's every girl's dream.  But not mine. I didn't have a date till now and I wasn't expecting a proposal.

There is one guy I want to go with. James Graham.  But he'll never be my date. He is part of the popular crowd. Everyone in the popular crowd already have dates so I guess he does to. I mean, he is THE James Graham, how could he not have a date?

~1 week before prom~

Another Monday morning.  Boring old school, stupid subjects and irritating teachers. I had just taken out my books for third period from my locker when I saw him. James. He was walking towards me.  I must be dreaming. He must be going to the person next to me. He started getting closer and closer.  I start to freak out. I have never actually had a conversation with a boy before. This was going to be a first.

"Hey," he said, giving me a small smile.

I smiled back. I didn't know what to say.  I was about to walk away when I felt someone holding my arm. It was James.

"I wanted to talk to you Niamh," he nervously stated.

I can't believe he actually knows my name. I nod my head urging him to continue.

He took a deep breath and asked "Would you like to go to the prom with me?"

I was in shock.  Why did the popular jock want to go to prom with a geek like me? Is this some kind of joke?

"Are you s-serious?" I ask slightly stuttering.

He laughs and nods his head. I smile and say a small okay.

~Prom Night~

Tonight was the night. I put on my dress and did my make up. I was only praying that everything goes well. I don't want anyone to say anything about me today. At least not in front of James.

At 7 pm the doorbell rang. It was James.  He looked extremely dashing in his tux.

"You look beautiful," he said.

"You don't look to bad yourself," I say slightly blushing.

 At the school everything was going well. No one had insulted me like they normally do. But everything went down the drain when Jackson, another jock, spilled his drink on me. And I'm willing to bet that it was no accident.

"Oops. Sorry geek," Jackson snickered.

I was about to burst into tears. My night had been ruined.  I knew this night was too good to be true. I turned around to run away when James stopped me. For the first time I saw anger in his eyes. Usually was a happy person. Always jolly and trying to make others happy.

"Say sorry to the lady," James told Jackson.

"What if I don't?" Jackson said clutching his fists.

"Don't try to act too smart.  I know how to handle guys like you," James said furiously.

Jackson got a bit shaken up. He said a small sorry and walked away.

"Don't listen to him. He doesn't know what he is talking about," James said.

"You're Perfect" he says again and we danced all night to the best song ever.
