My entry for the #DreamPromposal contest.
Prom is probably my least favorite time of year.
I watch big promposals occur at school, everyone making a scene with posters and balloons and chocolates and big stuffed animals. Meanwhile, I just try to block it all out and forget that the guy I wish would ask me was way out of my league.
So, while other girls are buying fancy dresses and expensive shoes, I retreat to my basement and sit down in front of my piano.
I wait for my parents and siblings to leave the house.
I wait till silence takes over my home and my cat Chestnut curls up by my feet.
I wait for the song that relates to me most comes to my mind.
And then, and only then, do I play the starting keys and open my mouth to allow a beautiful melody to escape my lips.
Of course, I only do this when I am alone. I would rather shrivel up and crawl into a dark hole than sing in front of another human being. So I would always wait until I was completely alone before I would open my mouth and sing.
Except, this time, I didn't realize I was not alone.
