After being rejected by 3 different girls, Richard had seemingly given up on getting a date for the prom. He did not even show up to school anymore for the following 2 weeks and people doubted he would even come to the prom at all. And why would he? Coming alone would just lead to endless more bullying.
But Richard did show up and when the other kids saw who he brought with him, their jaws dropped to the floor…
The kids at school had no idea if they were going to see Richard again. He had been gone for 2 weeks by now and nobody had heard from him. They figured the shame of being rejected 3 times was probably too much for him. But they were very wrong…
On the night of the prom, it was with one of the last cars to arrive that Richard showed up. And it was not just any car. He came with a stretched limousine that immediately drew everybody’s attention. But what caught people’s eye, even more, was who he got out of the car with…
Walking confident as could be with an arm around his date, Richard walked down the red carpet into his prom. And all the bullies and girls that rejected him could only watch on in awe…
But who did Richard end up bringing to the prom and how did it warrant such a reaction?
The big prom night was only two weeks away by now. All the students was wanting to find a date to ask for the prom. Because they knew that going alone to the prom would most likely result in endless bullying and a lot of mockeries. Sadly, Richard was already used to this kind of behavior but he wanted to give it a try.
Richard was new to this school, he had moved to this new town in the middle of the second school year when his parents moved there. He was a shy boy so it was hard for him to meet new kids and hang out with them. So he ended up being relentlessly picked on by his classmates.
The thing that caused this problem was that all the friend groups had already been established by this point. So it was a lot more difficult for him to fit in with none of them, in this way he ended up being an easy target for his school bullies. It was a tough year for him because he used to be well-loved by his old classmates.
This situation continued for all these years, until the current time with the prom night on the horizon. Richard took a big decision, even though he had not had many friends, he still wanted to ask some girls for the prom. But the reason was not the one that someone could expect from him.
Of course Richard he had not one just girl in his mind to ask for the prom, but 3 different girls. He was planning to ask them one by one, he wanted to have a kind of a backup if the first one was going to reject him. Deep inside he hoped that he would end up having a date to accompany him to the prom night.
These three girls were some of the few people in this school, who were used to be nice to him all this time. Those 3 girls didn't like him because they wanted to date him, but because they felt sorry about him and they wanted to make him feel better. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out as planned.
So, Richard decided to start with the first girl on his list, her name was Milly. Milly was a very kind and cute girl, she was actually flattered when Richard asked her to the prom because she did not have a date yet. But she could not say yes because she was afraid of her reputation in this school.
Even if she wanted to give a chance to this poor boy, she didn't. Milly was one of the most popular girls in her school, so she didn't want to risk his reputation for Richard. So, she denied his proposal for the prom, but she wasn't so nice to him. She tried to make him feel bad for asking her.
Mindy, end up not only rejecting Richard but she made a scene in front of their classmates. She started yelling at him about how he dared to ask her for the prom. Everybody who was watching this scene was laughing and pointing at Richard. He felt really bad about this but he didn't give up.
While Richard was extremely disappointed with this behavior, he left the conversation. On the other hand, Mindy was almost being applauded by her friends who are in front of this scene. She felt horrible about her bad manners but she believed that she had made the right decision. But it turns out very much not to be the case.
Richard, didn't give up and he asked the other two girls to be his date on the prom night, but he had not much luck with them too. The rejections were a lot nicer this time, but they hurt him as much as the first one. He felt that nobody liked him and that everybody was going to laugh at him if he was going to prom all alone.
