Trivial Drivel 1: Prom

How cliche, a 16 year old girl starts a blog and the first thing she wants to talk about is prom.
Oh well, I'm basically stressing so I really don't see the harm.
So, I asked this guy Archie*, and he said yes. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, right? Wrong. I text him like four days later, just to give him some details, and then he's like,
"well i gotta ask my parents"
I'm going to take this moment to point out that Archie is in effing college. What the hell does he have to ask his parents about. I wanted to say, "Are you effing kidding me?" But, instead, I said:
"They'll probably say yes though, right?"
"yeah probably"
Very reassuring** That was on a monday. I didn't text him again until sunday. On which day, I said:
"Have you asked your parents yet?"
"im gonna ask them after finals"
Um, why?
"So... can I just assume I can buy a dress or should I wait?"
I needed some answers. Prom takes planning, hello?
"wait a couple days"
"Okay, can you at least give me a date as to when you'll know? This is already way more stressful than I planned."
No response. So at the advice of my best guy friend, Brad*, I left him another text:
"So, I'm getting the vibe that you don't want to go with me. That's cool, but I need you to be straight with me."
Then, I fell asleep. I woke up to this text:
"sorry i went to the library and left my phone in my dorm. ill ask them tomorrow"
LIAR! Hahah, well I didn't hear from him so on Saturday, yesterday, I sent him another damn text:
"Hey, what's up?"
"Im at work"
"Sorry to bother you, but have you asked them yet?"
"i still gotta ask my dad. im doing it when i get off."
I didn't believe him.
"So you'll know by the end of today?"
"Yeah later"
"Thanks"
Sure enough, he didn't text back. So, at 12:07 am, this morning, I texted him:
"So, what's up? Do you know?"
And guess what? Still no response.
If I don't hear from him by the end of the day, I'm asking someone else.
It's ridiculous because I don't even wanna go with him anymore. And if he doesn't wanna go with me, that's fine. I'm just pissed that he made me wait two weeks after asking him to find all this out. That makes it way more difficult for me. I delayed buying a dress, making a hair appointment, paying for the limo, etc. etc. But saturday, I gotta buy tickets and I have to have a date.
We'll see.
