"This is song is so old," Michael said.
"I love this song though," Allison said.
The last dance ended. It was time for everybody to unmask. This was it. Michael would finally see Allison's face.
When Allison took off her mask, Michael's face lit up like a light bulb. It also felt like that Michael could breathe for the first time.
"Damn," Michael said with a smile at his face.
"What's wrong," Allison asked. "Do I have something on my face?"
"Well, you did. But then you took it off."
Allison giggled.
"You're funny," Allison said. "Almost as funny as me."
"Almost?"
The following Monday, Michael went to school with a smile on
his face. In fact, he was still smiling when he had lunch with Steve, Shelly, Melody, and Sarah.
"How was your date?" Steve asked.
"Pretty good," Michael asked.
"What happened?"
"We talked and we had a good time."
"That's it?"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Nothing."
Shelly gave Steve a dirty look.
"You don't to have sex on Prom Night," Shelly said.
"I didn't say anything about sex. Although it is normal to have it on Prom Night."
"Are you saying that Michael isn't normal?" Sarah asked.
"I didn't say that!" Steve said. "God! Y'all taking what I say out of context."
"So, what if we don't have sex on our prom night?" Shelly asked. But Steve didn't answer. "Yeah, that's what I thought."
Shelly got up from the table and she walked out of the cafeteria. Melody and Sarah followed Shelly, leaving Michael and Steve behind.
