The three couples walk to the school gym where the prom is being held. They are separately greeted by several classmates and the few teachers that were the chaperones. Megan was excited to see everyone having fun and had Peter as her date. Marc and Emily were dancing with each other and a few people were staring at them very confused as to why they were dancing together. "Why is he dancing with the weirdo?" a voice said a few inches away from them and Emily was concerned. everybody's staring at us, Emily whispered to marc. "I know, but let's not pay any attention to them." he whispered to her. "What about francis?" she asked him. He's not bothering us so I'm not paying him any mind either. He said as they continued dancing. Meanwhile, Joan and Scott went by the food table to get something to eat. Scott got himself a paper cup and got a scoop from the punch bowl, which is full with lemonade. Then he went to get Joan a cup and filled hers with lemonade and then someone purposely bumped into him. That caused him to crush the cup, spilling some of the lemonade on his suit and the rest on the floor. Joan is understandably shocked by what she just saw and quickly grabs some napkins for Scott to clean himself. "I'm so sorry, are you okay?" she asked him as he wiped the lemonade off of his suit. yeah this stuff happens to me all the time he responds as he cleans the floor too. well that should not have happened. she said as she helped him clean the floor. I never thought this is how we spend our prom. He said in a disappointed tone. It's not too bad. "we're here together and celebrating a great night for all of us." she said, assuring him. "you're right," he said as he gave another cup of lemonade. "Can I have your attention please?" The principal spoke to all of the seniors as she was standing on the podium. "It's about that time to announce the senior prom king and queen." She is handed two pieces of paper to read the names and two crowns. Francis is standing in the crowd, figuring that he might win like before. "And this year's prom king is" the principal reads from the paper "Marc" she shouted with excitement. Marc is surprised but happy and walks on stage to receive his crown. Everyone in the crowd was happy for him except francis. "And now it's time to announce the senior prom queen and this is" the principal read from the paper "Emily. Congratulations." Emily was very shocked and was not aware that anyone had voted for her. She went on stage and received her stage, standing next to marc. After years of losing to Francis who often gloated to him, Marc felt this was one of the best moments of his life. and since he was on stage, he felt like he could use the opportunity to gloat it to francis. Instead he went a different route. "I wish to thank everyone who has been supporting the teams for the last four years. This has been a great school year and I'm glad we all made it here to celebrate tonight. Class of 01." he said and everyone cheered in unison. After Marc and Emily get off stage, they are greeted by Joan, Scott, Peter and Megan in the middle of the gym. I'm happy for you guys, Megan said to Marc and Emily hugging them both. Well, it was unexpected. Emily replied. The two continued dancing while enjoying being named prom king and queen. Francis, still upset, watched them dancing from across the gym. "Come on let's dance," Valerie said to him and they danced for the rest of the night too.

LHS Class of 01 The Prom
It was a few days away from the prom actually being only Wednesday and everyone in the group was discussing plans for that night. After her first party almost went downhill, Megan egan to worry about how the prom might go. She and Emily had walked in the hallway to one of their final classes. As they headed to the homeroom they briefly discussed their plans. "I don't know what to do about prom. I already got a dress but I'm still working on a date." Megan stated to emily. "How about peter? I saw chemistry between you two at the party." Emily reliped. "I could and you could bring Marc" Megan teasingly said to her. "Very funny she said and yes I am taking him." Megan could not help but smile at that comment. The two entered the classroom and across the hallway there was Francis watching them and was not happy. But he walked away to his class. In the classroom the teacher Mrs Wilkes handed back everybody's final exam. Megan received her final exam results and received a 98 percent. "I would like to say congratulations to everybody who has passed this exam and I hope to see you all at the prom." Mrs Wilkes said to everyone because they all passed the exam. Megan and Emily exit the classroom nearly an hour later for lunch. They met up with Joan at their usual table where it will be one of the last times they will eat lunch together. "I am so excited about the prom and knowing that I got a good score is amazing," Megan said. Joan and Emily high-five her. "So who are you taking to the prom?" Joan asked Emily. "Do I even need to say it?" Emily responded. Already realized who Emily is taking to the prom. "Who are you going with?" Emily asked Joan. "Well it might be a shock to you but I am going with Scott." Emily responded to them. "Scott?" Emily and Megan were confused but also excited. "He asked me if I was going and I asked if he was too. And then he started to show me his comic book collection and I like them." Joan said to them. Megan could not help but blush and Emily who never usually does that finally did blushed too. Meanwhile across the lunchroom Marc was hanging with Peter and Scott at their lunch table. "Oh man. I am very excited about going to the prom with emily." Marc told them. "That's great and all. but you both are very different." Peter responded. "That's not important. We really love each other and…" Marc was about to finish before Scott interjected. "You guys are not even dating and all you did was make out," Scott stated. "I don't really expect you to understand this," Marc replied. "That's because you had dates in the past and you're on the football team. So you're right we never had any dates." Peter responded. "I didn't mean it like that and I'm glad for you guys." Marc told them. "Thank you," Scott said, very confused. "So does that mean you might be named prom king this year?" Peter asked marc. "I hope so," Marc said quietly. "You know that fool was named prom king twice and homecoming king once. I was just the runner up during freshman year. Francis thinks he can get everything." Marc said as he ate his food. Later that day Megan went home and searched through his closet to see what dress to wear. She then came across a dark blue dress and realized it was the one. Then came Saturday night and the group met up with each other at her house so they could go together.

No Seconds to Spare
She turned. Her eyes attempted to adjust to the change in light, while her lids widened from the sudden fear. Almost forgetting to keep her mouth shut as her screams were muted by her own closed lips, air bubbles rapidly escaped from her nose. A dark, very long shadow was passing by mere feet from her head, and it suddenly felt colder where she idled. She didn’t dare let her imagination wander with the possibilities of what it was that lurked above her. She tried settling her nerves as she clenched her jaw tight.

Miniature Mind Musings #8:
Recently, I spoke with a family member who I struggled to catch up with for a longer timespan than I would’ve liked and what struck me was how societal templates filled in on successive days routinely suck our time into a vacuum of seemingly infernal deficiency.
