So.
The word on the street is that the girl I've my eye on, so to speak, broke up with her boyfriend (who was, in a l truthfulness, not a good guy) today.
The prom is two weeks from now. He was going to go with her, but now that he's out of the picture (supposedly), she's not going with anyone (i.e., there will be other people in her group, but she won't be part of a couple.)
Now, she and I happen to be good friends, and it's an open secret of sorts that I like her. There's an open seat in the limousine that she and her friends are taking to prom.
It may soon be mine.
Part of me seriously expects her to ask me out; I actually did ask her to prom before (sort of; I asked her if she'd consider it.) The other part is sure that what I've heard is wrong, despite the fact that the source of this information is solid. Truth be told, though, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Oh, and I dare not ask her out myself; it would make me look quite the fool if my "intel" is bad.
What do you guys and gals think?
