I was the only girl without a prom date because of my birthmark until one boy asked me — then police officers walked into the gym

But he was dead serious. Actually, he seemed kind of worried waiting on me to say anything at all.

And when I finally managed to say “yes”, I felt a real pang of excitement. But the next thing I knew, I was already questioning what he wanted from me.

Megan was freaked out the moment told her what happened.

She told me that something about the whole prom thing seemed fishy and she reminded me that Caleb didn’t pay any attention to me before, so now asking me to prom seemed quite bizarre.

Honestly, I knew she was completely right about everything. But somehow, for the first time ever in probably forever, I allowed myself to have some hope.
