F*** the Prom Page #4

---

Okay, we're in.

Yes!

Okay, you guys.

Maddy is like the Khaleesi

and Cole us King of the North.

Then what does that

make me?

Brienne, the bad ass

lady knight?

Eh, I'll take it.

[sighs]

- What's up, losers?

- Whoa.

A popular person.

It's okay, guys.

He's one of us.

Your text was cryptic,

City, but...

Now I see.

See what?

Just trying to find

a place to fit in.

Apparently I'm too gay

for the straights,

and too straight

for the gays. But...

maybe with you, Cole.

Somewhere I fit in.

If you help us out, Cole will

blow you, no questions asked.

I what?

Unlike on

the basketball court,

I shall pass.

Sorry, buddy,

no offense, but...

you're just too fat

for me.

But I'm still in.

What's the plan?

We meet away from school,

my place tomorrow.

And I...

Sorry, I just wanted

the last word.

[Principal Statszill over pa] Maddy

Dadner, report to the principal's office.

Maddy Dadner,

principal's office.

Oh! Madeline Dadner.

Oh, Maddy!

Maddy, Maddy! Oh!

Maddy, the model student!

Maddy Miss Popular.

Maddy. Maddy, who reminds

me so much of myself.

Why am I here?

Because of this.

[Maddy]

I'm not sure I follow.

That is a picture of

you and Cole Reed.

So?

Cole Reed is...

weird.

Okay? He's always drawing.

Looking like he belongs in a

hipster version of iCarly.

I mean, he doesn't

even belong to a clique.

Are you trying to tell me who I

can and can't be friends with?

Oh, Maddy.

I just don't want you

squandering your reputation

here at the finish line.

What do you mean?

High school sets

the tone for life.

All right?

Look at me.

Honor Society, yearbook,

and the only freshman ever

to be elected class president.

And captain of

the cheer squad. Whoo!

[laughs]

And where did

that lead me? Hmm?

To becoming the youngest

high school principal

in the history of the state,

right back where

it all began,

here at Charles Adams High.

Whoo!

I don't get how this has

anything to do with me.

The point is...

I didn't throw it all away

in the last minute

by hanging out with...

Well...

Those people.

And what do you mean

by "those people"?

Oh, you know

what I mean.

Not really.

Oh, come on, girl.

You're a smart cookie.

Yeah, and I don't get it.

The losers!

Don't hang out with

the losers.

[exhales dramatically]

Just looking out

for you, hon.

By calling

my friends losers

and printing out

my Instagram feed?

I don't even know

how to do that.

Oh, there's an app

for that.

Why are you even

on my Instagram?

Oh, honey...

If you think

the entire faculty

isn't following

their students online...

then you're cray cray.

Wow.

Think about

what I said, okay?

Selfie time? Hmm?

Maddy?

Maddy!

Oh, this lighting

is great. Maddy!

Maddy, Maddy, Maddy.

Turn around.

Turn around.

Oh, Maddy!

[music plays softly]

So when can I read it?

When it's good enough.

Which may be never.

You're so talented.

Any art school would be

crazy not to take you.

So, yeah.

You're in my room.

So I am.

Oh, it's no big deal.

Not a big deal

at all.

No. I don't really think

it's a big deal.

So, what did Statszill say?

Oh, just enough

for me to know

that I'm 100%

doing the right thing

in ruining the prom.

You are doing

the right thing.

Oh, well...

We are.

Together.

Listen, Cole...

I'm sorry about everything

that's happened

since the first day

of high school.

We've been over this before.

It's fine.

- No.

- Really.

No, it's really not.

We used to hang out

in here all the time.

And I used to sit

right here,

just like this.

Jesus! How many hours

do you think we spent

playing Pokemon in here?

Like a million.

And we talked about how crazy

it would be when we turned 16

and were able to drive.

Prom wasn't even on

our radar back then.

[sighs]

Cole...

I have to honest.

Yeah.

I used to think about prom

even back then.

Wait, are you having second

thoughts about our plan?

I guess I'm just saying...

as much as I wanna

go through with it,

I think part of me just

wishes I could go to prom.

Does that make me

a hypocrite?

Not really.

I think to some degree

we all kinda want to go.

Society, right?

Good.

At least I'm not alone.

What do you say we kick it

old school style?

How so?

Like eat microwave popcorn,

watch some TV?

You said Brotherhood

was good, right?

- Really?

- Yeah.

So the beginning is almost exactly

the same as the original Fullmetal.

- Okay.

- But, uh...

then it takes

this huge turn...

Ooh.

Suspenseful.

You remember it, right?

Refresh my memory.

Gotcha.

Okay, here we go.

Edward and Alphonse Elric,

brothers.

Alchemists.

They got transmutation

circle thing.

They're trying to

bring their mom back.

It all goes wrong.

Alphonse loses

his body.

Edward loses his leg...

[birds chirping]

[cell phone chimes]

[chimes]

Hey, baby.

- Not now.

- WTF.

Come on, Kane, let's

give everyone a show.

Jesus! Would you stop it!

What's your damage?

This was a mistake.

We're done.

What?

Did you see who Maddy

was going to prom with?

Oh, my God.

He's totes hot.

I'm totally voting for them

as prom king and queen.

Me, too.

I dind't see it until now,

but I totally shifted.

[cell phone vibrating]

No lunch today?

Nothing here's kosher.

Wait, you're Jewish, too?

You don't

look like it.

On my mom's side.

My dad's

a struggling Buddhist.

Mm. Interesting.

But, shomer negiah...

What's all

the hollering about?

Um...

I can't touch a girl

even the slightest bit, so...

Unless you're my wife...

we can't.

Oh, no.

I didn't mean...

Well... Never mind.

[sighs]

Oh, how exciting.

Prom king and queen,

right beside us.

Shouldn't we be excited that we're

all technically going to prom now?

[school bell rings]

Wait. Guys, hold on.

I wanna document

this moment.

I'm gonna take a selfie

and tag all of you in it.

Cool!

[camera clicks]

- Sweet.

- Got it.

Hold on. Hold on.

We have to take at least 40 or 50

to make sure we all look good.

[camera clicks rapidly]

[rock music playing]

Hey, Tighty.

Calling me that is not gonna help

you get whatever you want from me.

But I got your attention.

You didn't get my attention as much

as you shoved me a locked closet.

Yeah, but you

didn't fight back.

Marissa,

what do you want?

You, me, prom.

I'm already going

with Maddy.

Ditch tat pidge

and come with me.

Are you high?

A little. But that doesn't

mean I don't mean what I say.

Why do you wanna

go with me?

Your profile is

on the up,

and Kane's is on the down.

If I go with you,

prom queen could be mine.

What makes you think

I would ever go with you

after what

you did to Maddy?

You're an idiot if you think she's

actually going to end up going with you.

Kane wants her back

and Kane gets what he wants.

She'll abandon you and your

loser friends in a heartbeat.

You don't know her

like I do.

I think it's

the other way around.

Besides, she just wants

to go as friends.

On the other hand,

if you go with me,

I'll make it very
