After Valentine's Day, Justin's freelance projects took up most of his time. So he ended up with several thousand dollars in his bank account as a fifteen-year-old.
Things seemed to get worse for Emily at home. She didn't say so specifically but she reposted a lot of sad things on Blogr.
He kept dropping nice notes and little treats in her locker but he had no idea if it was actually helping or not. He wished he could talk to her for real. But he knew too much about her.
What if he slipped up? She would think he was creepy and avoid him like the plague. He would rather be invisible than have that happen.
When prom rolled around, it turned out that she didn't have a date. Justin had assumed someone had asked her so he was surprised when she posted about her life as a dateless loser on prom night.
He commented 'don't feel too bad, we can be dateless losers together' with a smiley face.
'Your prom is tonight too?'
