Last night's dream: Beast and I wait for the show to begin at the high school and my friends talk about us. (I don't know what show). There's a lot of noise around us - the kind before a show, people milling in and the lights go up and down and change the way the faces around you look and what they say. And there's the noise in my head - all the stuff friends say about why Beast asked me to prom and then said nothing. There is no talk of what time he will pick me up, or what we are doing for dinner or after dinner, or any parties. And someone says there is another girl, and I see her in the room where all of us are waiting for the show to start. She looks like me, a thinner version. Beast is quiet. When I look over at him, he has a smirk on his face. He likes attention, any attention and doesn't seem surprised by what my friend said.
"Where's Beast going to college?"
The same as prom, I don't have answers.
