Mia Thermopolis: 'Oh, Michael, this is so sudden!I simply wasn't expecting it. But I adore you with every fibre of mybeing, so of course I will go to the prom with you, and dance everysingle dance with you, except the fast ones because they are lame.'
(KISS)
That's how it should go. If thereis any justice in the world, that's how it WILL go.
But WHEN? When is he going to askme? I mean, look at him over there. He is so clearly NOT thinking aboutthe prom. He
is arguing with Boris Pelkowski over the rhythm of theirband's new song, 'Rock Throwing Youths', a searing criticism of thecurrent situation in the Middle East. I am sorry, but someone who isworrying about the situation in the Middle East is HARDLY LIKELY TOREMEMBER TO ASK HIS GIRLFRIEND TO THE PROM.
This is what I get for falling inlove with a genius.
Not that Michaelisn't aperfectly attentive boyfriend. I mean, I know a lot of girls - likeTina, for instance - are totally jealous
of me for having such a hotand yet so incredibly supportive life mate. I mean,Michael ALWAYS sits next to me at lunch, every single day, exceptTuesdays and Thursdays when he has a Computer Club meeting duringlunch. But even then he
gazes at me longingly from the Computer Clubtable on the other side of the caf.
Well, OK, maybe not longingly,but he smiles at me sometimes when he catches me staring at him fromacross the cafeteria, trying to figure out who he looks like the most,
