hey, I almost forgot, do you have plans this saturday night?"
"No, why?"
"My parents are leaving that night, and I'm having a party, almost the whole school is gonna be there. Wanna come?"
"Um, sure, okay."
"Cool, I'll see you later Deysie."
"Bye."
OMG. I just got invited to Daniel's party! I was so happy I wanted to jump and scream, but I was still at school, so that would've been embarrasing. I turned around, smiling. I walked home and still couldn't believe Daniel invited me. When I went home, my dad was cooking steak in the back yard. "Hi honey, how was school ?" he said, "It was fine. Oh um, dad ?"
"Yes ?"
"Can I go out saturday ?"
"Go out ? For what ?"
"Um, a new girl in my school, invited me to a party, and she barely has any friends, so I wanna be nice, and go. So can I ?"
"Oh, okay. You can go, but come home before curfew, alright ?"
"Alright, dad. Thanks."
I walked back into my house, and went upstairs to my bedroom. I felt guilty having to lie to my dad, but I couldn't tell him I was going to a boy's house for a party. He wouldn't let me go, then ask me too many questions about that boy. I went to my bed, and used my laptop, and looked online for a cute dress to wear for the party. I found a strapless teal short dress, and it was hot. I wanted Daniel to notice me, but what would my dad say ? I made a plan, to just wear jeans and a shirt when I go out of the house, then I'll change into the dress in my car. So, I bought the dress. I couldn't wait to go to the party.


THREE.
It was now Thursday, and prom was tomorrow. Then on Saturday, was Daniel's party. The whole school was covered in posters and everyone was buying tickets, and everyone was gossiping about it. I was at my locker, getting my books out, and a note fell down. I looked around, and then at the note on the floor. I grabbed it and opened it up, and read "Hi beautiful, going to prom ?"
I was confused, and a little scared. Do I have a stalker now ?! I put the note into my pocket and closed my locker, and walked to homeroom.
After, homeroom I went back to my locker to put my books back and grab my P.E. uniform. Another note fell out, I grabbed it and read "Please go to prom with me, and I'll tell you who I am." Well, this is a stupid game, I don't even know who the person is, so how am I supposed to say yes ? I put that note in my pocket with the first note, and closed my locker, walking to P.E. I didn't want to go back to my locker, because I was afraid for another note, but I wanted to find out who it was, really bad. I made a plan, to ditch 4th period English, and hide in the janitor's closet. The janitor's closet is close to my locker, so I can catch who's been putting notes in my locker.
The bell rang, for 4th period, and I changed back into my clothes quickly, and ran to the restroom, and hid there.


I was hiding for about 10 minutes, until I heard footsteps. I opened the door just a little, and peeked out. I couldn't really see who it was, but I saw the person wearing a white shirt and blue vanz. I just need to look for someone wearing that, and I find my prom date. I closed the door and sat there, thinking who it might be, but I had no clue. The bell rang, and it was now 5th period, Science. I got up and went out to my locker and grab my Science book. A note fell out, I sighed and grabbed it. I read "Find me and love me." I thought that was kinda cute, since I am going to go look for him. I grabbed my book, and went to class.
Science, was boring, we had to read all day, and I almost fell asleep. I was so bored that I raised my hand and Mr.Allen looked at me, I asked "Can I be excused ?" Everyone was now looking at me, and he nodded. I was surprised it was that easy to be excused. When I got my things and left the room, I heard some of my classmates yelling "Can I be excused ?" I laughed, and walked to my locker. I was expecting another note, but none came out. School was almost over, it was an early day today, teachers need to do report cards, so school is now up to 5 periods this week. I put my books back into my locker, and waited by my locker, for the bell to ring to find my prom date. The bell finally rang, and I stood up, looking everywhere, I walked around the school, outside, the office, but no sign of him. I sighed because I just wasted my time, and I went outside to walk home. I then felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned around, and it was Daniel. It was like Daniel's now my new friend, well only friend. I smiled and said "Hey." He smiled and laughed, I looked at him confused and he was wearing a black coat. Which was wierd, because it was about 80 degrees outside. "Cold ?"
"Nah, I just want to show you something."
"Me ?"
"Yeah.."


My heart pounded as he was unbuttoning his black coat, and I could feel myself melt. I blushed and looked down, smiling. I felt fingers under my chin, and he straighted my head to look up at him, I thought he was going to kiss me. "Don't take your eyes off me." I blushed but didn't look down. He was now unbutton the last one, and he started smiling, then he stopped, he handed me a black marker. I tilted my head confused, and said "What's this?"
"Let's just say, an answer. "
I stopped smiling, and waited for him to take off the coat, he was slipping his arms out. Then the coat was now on the floor, I watched it fall onto his shoes. Wait, he had blue vanz. My eyes widened and my heart pounded, I looked up quickly and saw his white shirt. Then, on his white shirt said "Be my Prom date?"
I read it, and then he turned his back on me, that had 2 little boxes. One of them saying "Yes<3" and the other "No ):" I started laughing, and blushing, and I took off the marker's cap and scribbled a check on "Yes<3" excitedly, my hands were shaking.
