The prom for St. Michael’s Catholic Secondary School falls on a Friday. Friday the 13th, to be exact. On May the 13th, the graduating class of St. Mikes will be finding pleasure in each other’s company at the Grecian Odyssey themed prom dance/gathering/thing.

I talked to Binks at school, and he says he is going to attend the gala with his mysterious girlfriend, Erin of the mythical land of Ayton. Andrew will undoubtedly be dragged to the prom by Amy although techniquely the average person would expect that he would lead and she would follow - not because of gender roles in a relationship, but because it is his prom and not hers.

As for me, I don’t think I’m going. It just doesn’t seem like it would be an exciting event for me, because I’ll be outside of the loop. When you examine my group of friends, you see two distinct groups: 1) The people I’ve known since St. Als 2) The people I’ve known since the start of high school

The people I’ve known since St. Als (Andrew, Binkle, and I suppose Amy) will all have their minds occupied by “other things” while attending the prom. As for the guys I’ve met since high school (Dean, Fraser, Caleb, Andreas, Blake, etc), I am distant from them and we rarely ever do anything. They will probably be huddled in their own little group at prom, or be hanging out with their dates respectively. For some reason, I can picture Dean and Caleb lugging along their Nintendo DS systems.

As for me, I’d just be sitting there alone. I won’t have a date. I can absolutely verify that because I know I will never summon the courage to ask someone, and I doubt anyone has been bet to bring me to the prom. :P So, to avoid sitting pathetically at the sidelines, I have decided to forego the event altogether. It’s just a big waste of time that I don’t feel I need to bother with.

Ta ta.
