THANK YOU.

YOU'RE REALLY INTOALL THIS PROM STUFF, HUH?

WHEN YOU WEREIN HIGH SCHWHAT? WHY?

NO ONE ASKED ME.

I FIND THATHARD TO BELIEVE.

BELIEVE IT.

I WAS NOT ONEOF THE POPULAR KIDS IN SCHOOL.

ALEX ALLEN, HOLLYWOOD SUPERSTAR,

NOT POPULAR?

THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.

I WAS BULLIED A LOT

BY SOME OF THE OTHER KIDSIN SCHOOL,

SO THAT DIDN'T HELP.

I JUST REMEMBER SITTINGAT THE LUNCH TABLE,

LISTENING TO THEM ALL TALK

ABOUT WHAT THEY WERE GOINGTO WEAR TO PROM

AND WHERE THEY WERE GOINGTO GO OUT FOR DINNER AFTER.

IS THIS GOINGTO BE A SAD STORY?

OH, IT GETS MUCH BETTER...

BECAUSE I DECIDEDI WAS NOT GOING TO SIT AT HOME

AND FEEL SORRY FOR MYSELF,

SO I DECORATED MY ROOM,

AND FETWINKLE LIGHTS AND ALL,

AND I DID MY HAIRAND MAKEUP,

AND PUT ON MY BEST DRESS,

AND I DID MY HAIRI PICKED JUST THE RIGHT SONG,

AND I DANCED BY MYSELF,

ALL ALONE, IN MY ROOM,

AND AND I PRETENDEDELF,

MY MOM SAYS THAT'S HOW SHE KNEWI WAS GOING TO BE AN ACTOR.

SILLY, RIGHT?

NO, NOT SILLY...

SWEET.

WELL, WHO KNOWS,

MAYBE THIS PROM WILL HELPMAKE UP FOR IT.

WELL, WHO KNOGOT IT.

THANKS.

LET'S GO, PEOPLE!

WE ARE LESS THANSIX HOURS TO PROM TIME!

HEY, GREAT JOB!

THESE GUYS WOULDN'T LASTA DAY ON A FILM SET.

WELL, LET'S REMEMBER, IT'S ONLY A HIGH SCHOOL PROM.

DO YOU NEEDSOMETHING, MR. WALSH?

UH, WELL...

ACTUALLY, I WAS WONDERING

WHEN YOU'D LIKE TO SCHEDULEYOUR NEXT DRIVING LESSON.

MY CALENDAR HAPPENSTO BE WIDE OPEN.

I WON'T BE TAKINGANY MORE OF YOUR LESSONS,

THANKS.

IS IT THE CAR?

BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S NOT EXACTLYTHE
SMOOTHEST RIDE IN THE WORLD.

NO, IT'S NOT THE CAR.IT'S THE TEACHER.

I DON'T TRUST HIM.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

YOU TELL ME... V.K. WALSH.

SO YOU FOUND MY BOOK.

PAIGE DID,

WHEN SHE WASCHECKING UP ON YOU.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL MEYOU WERE A WRITER?

I DON'T KNOW.

IT DIDN'T COME UPIN THE CONVERSATION.

WELL, I'M SURE IT WOULD HAVE, SOONER OR LATER.

SO?

SO...

THIS WAS ALL A SET-UP, WASN'T IT?

WHAT?

THE "PROMPOSAL."

YOU AND DAVIDHAD IT ALL PLANNED.

YOU GAVE HIM THE WORDSRIGHT OUT OF YOUR BOOK,

TOLD HIM EXACTLY WHAT TO SAYAND HOW TO SAY IT.

NO, THAT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENED.

YOU USED THAT NICE KIDAS BAIT TO MEET ME...

OH, AND WHAT A COINCIDENCE,

YOU JUST HAPPENTO HAVE WRITTEN A BOOK,

AND WOULDN'T IT MAKEA GREAT MOVIE?

THAT NEVER EVEN CROSSEDMY MIND.

IT'S A BOOK OF POETRY!

BUT YOU JUST WANTED TO USE ME,

LIKE EVERY GUYI HAVE EVER DATED.

ALEX, LET ME EXPLAINSOMETHING TO YOU.

YOU DIDN'TRECOGNIZE ME.

RIGHT.

I'LL BET YOU KNEW I WAS COMINGALL ALONG.

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.

A WEEK AGO, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU WERE!

YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIOH, PLEASE!

EVERYBODY KNOWS WHO I AM!

MAYBETHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM.

YOU'RE SO USED TO EVERYBODYKNOWING YOU,

THAT YOU'RE AFRAID

TO LET ANYBODYACTUALLY GET TO KNOW YOU.

WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

IT MEANS

THAT DESPITE HOW HIGHLYYOU THINK OF YOURSELF,

NOT EVERYBODY'S INTERESTEDIN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF YOU...

ESPECIALLY ME.

AND ANOTHER THING...
