I had moved my senior year and was returning to my home-school for prom. My friends were trying to find me a date, and asked the guy who sat in front of me in history class. We'll call him "Richard." Think of the nickname instead though.
He refused, and said that he wanted to ask out this other girl. Well, that failed, and they saw fit to ask him a second time. He had another girl in mind this time.
Now, I'm not quite sure why they asked him, considering he disrespected our friend "Susie Loveface" when they were dating and broke up with her less than a month prior, and was alway oogling my chest during class and antagonizing me.
Well, I went to prom dateless, because frankly, I didn't care.
Yet this boy saw fit, after all his first and second (and likely third) choices failed, to ask me out at the dance, if I would be his date for the night.
I am no one's "back-up". I am no one's substitute to fill a lonely void. I am also not one to forgive someone who disrespected and broke my friends heart.
He had me backed up against a table in the crowded, overly hot room. I wanted to go outside and get some fresh air, find the rest of my friends, etc. He stood between me and my one way out. He wouldn't move until I agreed to be his date, and kept asking despite me saying 'no' the first time.
So I back handed him. I'm not one for violence, but, there is something to be said for the intelligence of a boy who stands between a girl and her only way out. He wouldn't move again, and he protested, so I hit him on the other cheek, saying that he needed to move and that the last slap was for Susie.
Never hard, mind you, just enough to jolt him out of his incessant talking and make him give me some air.
But oh man that felt so good.
