Prom Night
If the air could get any more uncomfortable than this, the lad might have gotten cold feet and ducked away somewhere. But here he was, standing outside dressed in formal attire for the dreaded Prom Night. The youth stood beside his caretaker William. The man wanted to take a picture to commemorate this occasion. The youth, however, Ash, was not too keen on the idea, let alone this day in general as he begrudgingly scuffed one of his feet as his head lowered as if to hide from the world. He had always felt like an outsider within the walls of this school, it felt more like a prison, and students more inmates than peers. This and the thought of being amongst these colleagues, if one could call them that with his date, and be on his best behavior...it was a devil’s dowry of trouble. However, William seemed to pick up upon the lad’s discomfort and gave a subtle chuckle as he produced the camera.
