Too Cool for Prom
Nobody likes to be left behind. It’s especially bad when you’re left behind by your friends after you all swore not to go to the dance. Sometimes, the people you think are your friends just aren’t (are they really your friends if they play this kind of prank on you?). For Tomo, this scenario came true when she and her friends agreed not to go to prom because it was too mainstream.
After deciding they wouldn’t go, as a statement of their coolness, Tomo would later find out that all of her friends caved in to social pressure and decided to go, while she was the only one who was left behind. Perhaps her friends just forgot about her, or perhaps Tomo should look for a new group of friends. The good news is that high school is over anyway, and she can look for a new group of friends in college.
