When most people think of prom, they probably picture dresses and
limos and dancing the night away with their dream date. When I think of
prom, I picture aching feet, overpriced decorations, and unrealistic
expectations.

Obviously, I was in the minority, though. As was proven by the long
line of upperclassmen willing to spend their entire lunch period standing in
line to buy prom tickets.
It was day three of ticket sales, which meant it was also day three of the
Awareness Club’s alterna-prom initiative.
It was…not going great.
Okay, fine, it was a big fat failure.
We’d set up a station where students could donate their change to West
Pinebrook’s Community Center after buying tickets.
“Any more donations?” I asked, leaning over the table.
Max Cohen shook his head. “Sorry, Elena.”
I glared at the jar. It was almost empty. The dollar bill I’d placed in
there was still the only donation. I’d thought maybe having money already
would make us look less pathetic, but it just looked sadder somehow.
I glanced at my carefully written spreadsheet. I’d made it to predict
potential donations. We were way behind what I’d projected. But I guess I
hadn’t factored in teenage apathy.
“Has anyone taken a pamphlet?” I looked at the suspiciously full pile.
“To do that they’d have to stop avoiding our table like we all had the
plague.” My best friend, Josie Flores, rolled her eyes.
I’d spent days writing those pamphlets up, included photos of the kids
from the community center at last year’s holiday party and the fundraiser
website to donate online. It explained that we weren’t telling people not to
go to prom, but to rethink how they spent their money on the dance.
That’s why Josie had come up with the term “alterna-prom initiative.” It
hadn’t helped, though. Everyone just thought we were flat-out protesting
prom.
“Come on, El, if they won’t take a pamphlet, let’s just hand them out,”
Josie said, stepping out from behind the table. She was willow thin with
smooth brown skin, a pretty, narrow face, and dark hair that framed it in
curls. It was everything I used to wish for when I was little instead of my
round Korean face, short legs, and flat stick-straight black hair.
“I’ll help!” Max jumped up.
“No, you guard the table and the…dollar,” Josie said, eyeing the sad jar.
I gave him an “I’m sorry” shrug. But he dutifully sat back down. He’d
do anything for Josie.
Since sophomore year, he always mooned at her behind his wirerimmed glasses. They weirdly worked on him, like nerdy-white-boy chic.
His curly hair used to be cropped short in middle school, but he’d grown it
out now and it flopped into his eyes. It was cute in a Shawn Mendes kind of
way.
Josie started down the line, handing pamphlets out, making sure each
person at least opened it before she moved on. She didn’t seem to mind the
annoyed looks she got or the rude comments. I wished I could be that
confident, to not care what everyone thought of me.
