Running from yesterday

Chapter 16

Ezra and I walk down to the cafeteria together, we don't talk much because of all the chaos in the hallways. We sit down at our table and she pulls out a sheet of paper with names written on it with the title "prom"

"What is that for?"

She tells me it's all the guys she won't go to prom with and guys she would go to prom with. I ask her when prom is and she says it's in about 3 months. "You have plenty of time, why are you trying to find a date now?" I don't know why I bother asking, she looks like someone that would go to prom with more than one guy. But hey, no judgment here.

"Best to figure it out now than last minute"

I nod my head at her response before she bursts with excitement asking "who are you going to prom withhhh?" I haven't even thought about that. It's not like I know anyone to be able to pick a date anyway.

"Not sure. Any suggestions?" She nods and hands me the paper, and tells me which side I should go with vs the side I shouldn't go with.

When I look at the list, the first name that catches my eye...

"Rueben Anderson"

Hes under the "shouldn't" side for some reason though.
