   the one thing ive forced on my mind: prom. senior year had been uneventful, until now. prom was every girl's dream, and yet i didn't feel as thrilled as i should be.

   two weeks.

   ben told me he already rented out a tux, and it's hanging in his closet in a cover up. with a sprained arm in a cast, i didn't know if i could pull off a dress. there was no other option, i am a dress kind of girl, but dancing? not so much.

   a car's horn honked, and i was snapped out of my thoughts. i grabbed my purse, slinging it over my shoulder, and ran out the door.

   "hey, how's your arm?" ben asked, as i kissed his cheek.

   "it's okay i guess," i spoke.

   i know a car accident should sound more dramatic, but nobody died. a few cuts, a sprained arm, and some bruises, yes.

   in fact the bruise on my left cheek i tried covering up is almost invisible. you can see it lightly beneath the foundation which makes me nervous to go out in public.

   "ready for the picnic?"

   "as ready as can be, let's hit the road," i exaggerated.
