Ven was sitting on the steps of the ballroom and watching the crowd. As usual, the young man looked tired. He balanced a coffee on the stairs next to him rather than the mulled punch downstairs; Ven wanted to try it desperately, but he anticipated it might make him sleepy and he wanted to do everything in his power to enjoy this event.
Ven had never made it to prom. He'd been in a coma the last time it happened. In many ways, just like coming to Starlight Academy felt like a second chance at life, coming to this ball felt like getting a second chance at going to prom.
Since he hadn't actually been able to find a date, though, because he was new and now student council took up a lot of his time, Ven posted an ad for a blind date. He was told he'd meet his date at the ball in the evening, right on the stairs. THe problem Ven had was that he had no idea who his date was or what she looked like. Or, he realized, if his date even was a she.
He asked random people that walked by, "Are you my date?"
Hoping that maybe, just maybe, one of them would be.
