"Yo, 'Rok! How many days until the prom?"
Brian looked at the clock. 15 days 6 hours and 23 minutes. Like he was gonna
let them know he was counting. Instead, he shrugged, "A couple weeks."
"15 days 6 hours, and.... 22 minutes," Sarah reported, "Not that I'm
counting."
"So who do you plan on taking?" Katherine asked. She and Brian had been best
friends for years, and although she had feelings for him, she didn't see
anything ever happening between them. Of course, if he didn't have a date...
"I dunno..." he trailed off.
"Well I'm gonna ask that new girl," Kyle piped up, "What's her name...?
Faith...?"
"Yeah," Brian said, quietly. He felt betrayed, but realized that, since they
had only gone on one date, he really had no claim to her.
"Hey, I thought you were taking me!" a short girl with light auburn hair
said.
"Sorry Kim, change of plans. If she says no though, I'd be happy to take
you."
"Whatever."
The bell rang and everyone departed for fourth period, but Katherine stayed
behind with Brian, "Why don't you ask Faith?"
"Kyle's already asking her," he stated as they headed toward the gym.
"So? She likes you."
"How do you know?" Brian inquired.
"Trust me, I do... besides, you guys look cute together."
*****
"So, are you going to the dance?" Brian asked as he and Faith went on their
routine walk from sixth period to seventh.
"No, probably not."
"How come?" he asked, surprised and disappointed.
"Cuz I'm new, and I doubt anyone wants to take me. Plus I have the feeling
that going to the dance by myself isn't exactly the 'cool' thing to do."
"But you have to come to the dance! It's our Junior Prom! It'll be fun!"
"Not if you're dancing alone," she muttered.
"I'll make you a deal," Brian said, "If you and I both don't have dates by
next Friday, then I'll bring you."
"Whatever," when they reached their destination Faith gave Brian a quick hug
good-bye, "See ya later."
"Bye," he said, smiling, until he realized someone was going to ask her
before next Friday... Kyle.
******
"So did you ask her?"
"Huh?" It took Brian a moment to figure out what Katherine was talking
about, "Oh yeah, sorta..."
"What does 'sorta' mean?"
"I'll explain later," Brian said as they reached his house.
"Call me," Katherine said as she walked off.
****Next Tuesday****
"Hey Faith," Kyle said.
"Hey... Kyle, right?"
"Yeah," he said, "Uh, mind if I walk you to class?"
"Not at all."
"So, I was wondering, ya know, if you don't have a date for the dance next
Friday..."
"Actually," she hesitated, "I do, sorry."
"Oh, ok, well cool, see ya around."
"Bye."
******
"She said no?" Brian asked.
"She said she already has a date."
"Damn," Brian muttered.
"What was that?" Kyle asked.
"Uh, nothing. I just, ya know, was thinking out loud."
"Uh hu," Kyle said, "Look, I gotta bail on ya... I have to find Kim before
she finds another date."
******
Faith was walking home when she heard the squeal of rubber on the road.
Turning around, she grinned, "Amy! What the hell are you doing here?"
"Well, I heard that since you left LA you ain't been hanging with the 'wrong
crowd' so I came to see what kind of pretty boys you been picking up."
Faith turned red, "I haven't exactly been picking guys up, but there is this
one guy..."
"Do share."
"...and there he is now," she paused so Amy could turn around and get a good
look at him, "Hey Brian."
"Hey Faith," he said, smiling.
"This is Amy, Amy is an old friend of mine. Amy, this is Brian."
"Pleased to meet you," Brian said.
Amy rolled her eyes and muttered, "He seems like a drag."
"Whatever," Faith turned back to Brian, "Look, call me later, k?" she gave
him a quick kiss on the cheek then jumped in the car with Amy, "See ya!"
