Oh!! See?? She wasn't being tortured at all! Your boldness ~~payed~~ ~~paid~~ paid off!

It's not boldness. It's masochism.

WELL SHIT. I think I have a date.

Oh man.

What do I wear. WHOA WAIT no don't answer that.

How are you dude?

Same difference, really.

I'm proud of you! I have a poultice that really helps to stop sweating if you need it!

I'm fine? Good? Nothing of note to report, so that's always a good thing!

Basically.

What's it smell like?
[...] I don't smell bad, do I?

That is good! Also I nominated Jaime for Prom Prince. Want to help me make him posters if he gets in the running?

It smells like flowers and herbs? The flowers are for the scent... I made it for me. I can make a new mixture with a more masculine smell though? I don't think you smell bad at all! But I know that I get really sweaty when I'm nervous?

Oh, does Jaime want to be Prom Prince?

Yeah make me smell like a good dude. I should find out what smell she likes and smell like that. No that's trying to hard isn't it?

Well he seemed happy to be nominated but you know he's all nice and bashful so I don't think he'd try too hard to win but I'd still think he'd have fun with it.

Kind of? I like the smell of sheep but I don't know how I'd feel about someone wearing sheep perfume? ... Though I'd think the sentiment is sweet. ... But I'm not a cute girl.

Yes, he's very nice and sometimes bashful but I could see him as a Prince! I'll put in another nomination for him then!

Maybe just make it smell like... woodsy? Or kinda minty? I DON'T KNOW what do masculine dudes smell like.
If you were though you'd be the cutest girl, Ennis.

Thanks! I think he'll like it. He seemed like he would. Don't worry, I didn't put your name in. I know you don't like that kind of thing.

Do you think you'll go to Prom?

I don't know what masculine boys smell like. Good? They always smell good? Some of them kind of smell like sandalwood or cedar or like sporty deodorant.
I think if I were a girl, I'd probably be the same as I am now except with more anxiety and fewer cuts on my face from shaving.

Thank you. I'm just hoping to keep my head low and nobody will notice me. There are a lot of boys competing for prince, though, so I won't even have to worry even if somebody submits me as a joke!

Probably? I went to all the other dances. I like seeing everyone having fun in their pretty outfits. Plus I'm on event committee so I'll be there to help out!

I know, they totally do. ~~Jaime smells like~~. I don't think the sporty deodorant works for me though. I think cedar is a good smell?
Me too. Except my legs would look awful I'd probably have no skin on my knees at all.

Don't worry if they do notice you, Ennis. It's cause you're cool. Yeah, I think it'd be fun to run but like I'm definitely not Prince material.

That's my favorite part of dances. Everyone looks so snazzy! Plus I like dancing even if I look like a lopsided giraffe.

Yeah, cedar smells good? If I were more masculine, I'd want to smell like a tree. I like foresty smells and trees make me think of lasting strength.
I think I'd wear tights a lot to hide my legs. I bruise really easily and I wouldn't want to shave unless I was trying to impress someone.

Oh, I'm a horrible dancer but I like watching other people dance! And I like watching people making memories together! It's a nice feeling to know that I helped put it all together so they could enjoy themselves for a night.

Yeah I like those smells too. ~~It's kind of why I like the anonym~~ I think that's why I like this place so much, too> Aside from it not being, you know. ~~home~~ ~~where I live otherwise~~ set up with legitimate wi-fi and all that.

We're both horrible dancers. We'll have to take over a spot on the dance floor, all roped off so we can dance without stepping on anyone. Or accidentally hitting someone in the nose like I did at the last dance.

Is that why you're in Event Committee? I always wondered why people join that. That sounds like my kinda thing too but I'm not nearly as organized or creative. Watching people have fun makes me happy, though.

Yeah! The forest is my favorite part of Gooseberry. If we had wifi and outlets in our rooms, I'd be all set!

Can we put a curtain around us so nobody will see? I danced a bit at the masquerade and I would die if anyone could pair my face to my horrible dance moves.

To tell you the truth... I joined Event Committee because I was sitting in their meetup area as a Freshman when their meeting started and I was too embarrassed to leave and everyone was excited for new members so I signed the roster and I never left... But it's been rewarding! I'm glad I was at the right place at the right time! Sometimes fate works out that way.

Right? When we graduate and leave I want to get a house in the woods with real internet and outlets if that's even possible. How badass would that be???

YES. We should totally have a secret dance party room or something. I want to dance but I don't want to terrify anyone.

Yikes. That's how I feel with Cheer, though, I like didn't realize it was a real thing and thought hey this is fun and somehow they ACTUALLY WANTED ME TO FLAIL FOR THEM. SO it totally worked out because I love cheering the team on. Glad it worked out like that for you too. It feels good to make people happy and enjoy themselves, huh?

We got lucky.

I think I might return to the forest too. I don't know yet. I don't know what I'm doing after school. There's probably satellite internet options?

Maybe the handicapped stall in the second floor restroom?

It does, it does! I think I would have fled if the cheer squad surrounded me instead of event committee. Or maybe not and maybe I would be really fit and able to dance if it had been them instead? Who knows!

Yeah they have so many new internet options now there must be something they can do to get decent service in the forest. Even if its only slightly forest but still close to civilization. I have no idea what I'm doing after, either, but it's gonna be with animals.

Bathroom dance party? So down.

True! It might have been you instead of me. But you're already fit and I think you dance just fine. You woulda made an awesome cheerleader, you already cheer everyone up.
