My mother definitely did not like when I talked like that.
She was struggling with two jobs to provide a place to live for us, but still she somehow managed to make me feel good. When I told her about my decision not to attend the prom, she kindly explained that it happens once in our lives, and I at least should have one positive memory of it before we graduated from school.
But I was not expecting any miracles anyway.
The next morning everything seemed absolutely normal, until I opened my locker and noticed that Caleb stood next to me.
There is not even one person at our school who does not know who Caleb is.
He is the star of our football team, someone that all students dreamed to become friends with. Absolutely the last thing I expected to hear from him was asking me to prom!
For several seconds there, I really did believe it was some sick joke he was trying to play.
