I was more nervous then excited that night.
I took out the most special girl of my class besides of the school.
Everyone could hear her coming.
Besides, people would get out of her way when she came through.
They would open and hold doors when she came around.
She was odder then me
And, people knew you were talking about her when speaking of her oddity or name
I was pressured to take her out
Since I was the only one who gave her a flower during the school years.
I did not accept her as a date by entering limelight.
My date could not stand me.
She did not have a stutter or other speech disorder
But, her voice was very quiet.
She could have been born with that condition.
Her father made it look like he was bribing me.
He was forceful by choosing to drive us instead of taking a limo.
His car of choice was that of a van.
He did allow us to go to an after prom dinner.
He still drove us to that place as well.
Her father helped her out of the van
Then let me doing a thing with her.
Was he just being overprotective over his beloved daughter?
The school allowed us to cut in line to have our picture taken
When we arrived at prom place.
I guess that is why our fellow students did not give either of us any of gag awards.
So, I let it be her day then my day.
I let her pick out the color to match my suit should be
And, I let her pick the photograph set to buy.
I am sure she wanted to give them out more then me.
Only one person asked me for our picture
But, I am sure that person wanted to make it look I took her out instead.
Because she did not have date since she did not make it an exchange of the pictures.
I did not see my best friend at prom.
I hope it was not my date since he felt uncomfortable when she was around.
It should not bother him since I did not dance with her and we could not see eye to eye
Nor, did I dance with the flirt.
I was not upset that my date danced with someone else.
It was more because I feel that I could not dance
Besides, I did not feel comfortable being at the prom.
I got my payback from my prom date
For I was the second to rise when her name was announced at graduation.
But, she did the ultimate revenge.
I learned of her marriage at another friends’ mother’s wake.
Is it fair for a quadriplegic get married before me
Since I can walk?
