Alexis

Proms are fun. I only went to my Senior year Homecoming and Prom, so both of these experiences were a first for me. I never had a girlfriend my whole time in high school. I never had a date for any dances I attended either. I was "selected" a date for Homecoming because I couldn't find one myself and my friends needed one more person for their limo. I say that like it was an act of kindness, but I was really there to dish out the extra money they were lacking.

Plus, my date was a huge bore. She didn't even talked with me all night. What a major let down. I eventually left her side and went around dancing with some of the other girls who were less prudes. I digress though, I had a good enough time.

Fast forward to Prom though. I actually asked someone out, and they said yes! I was very proud of myself. Although I wanted to take a certain someone else, the fact that that other person did not live in Tampa kept me from asking, though later one she revealed that she would have gone....ah well.

I asked this girl named Alexis out. She was the Homecoming Queen or something special, I forget. I remember she had some sort of status within the school for being popular and winning one of those awards.

Whatever.

In any case, she actually wanted to go with me. That or I was the last option? Who knows! I had a date, and I was done asking questions.

Prom was whatever. I don't think I took many pictures with my date, which was my fault. I was too busy going around taking pictures with all my buddies. This was my last party with all of them. Some of them I haven't seen since. Those pictures are all I have left of them.

But don't get me wrong, I danced and took a couple of pictures with my date. I mean, the girl said yes to me, I felt a special connection with her.

The after party was where I struck out. Alexis was a good girl and did not want any part of me after all the glitz and glamour was done with. We talked a little, but I took her home and that was the end of that.

I did not bother calling her and she didn't call me either.

Not very exciting, huh?
