Prom!

Zack took a cup of punch instead, and clacked it against hers while saying "Santé!", taking a small gulp of it.

"Sorry, I don't drink at all. I can't risk self-medicating my depression with alcohol." He told her and sipped some more out of his cup. The sangria was probably really good, better than the punch, but as he said, he didn't want to risk it. It was all too easy to imagine himself as an alcoholic, and that was something he hoped he would never become.

"So what do you think of the prom?" He asked on an another note.

I took a tiny sip of my sangria, because I wanted to enjoy it (this being the only glass I would drink of it).

- The prom is really good. It makes me think of that time in Berlin... The Winterball. It was a kind of Yule Ball.

The Winterball dances was in fact the best parties I ever went to. Each year, there was a different theme and each year the light effects were breath-taking. But here, it was far better (of course; demigods). With Apollo kids at the discs and Hephaestus machines for the light effects, this here was just jaw-dropping. I was amazed at what they could do from almost nothing.

I ran in and sighed with relief, almost laughing in my joy. The prom looked wonderful, and the refreshments had all been made and delivered by yours truly. And, I had played my part by both working and coming, even though I knew how sappy everything would become.

"At my schools we never had a dance, this is the first time I've ever danced before. Well, I guess we did have dances for the eighth graders, but I never made it to eighth grade. I taught myself pretty much everything I know. Impressive, but there's no need to compliment me," He said with a wave of his hand and smiling and chuckling a bit, pretending to be some genius that gets compliments all the time. Then one of Zack's favorite songs came on: (Don't Fear) The Reaper, by Blue Öyster Cult. He liked it a lot, partially because he liked the music, but it was more so it was a song that he could harmonize with easily with. It was one of the only songs he was comfortable singing aloud.

He sang aloud, looking into Morgan's eyes when it came to the part when Eric Bloom, the lead vocalist, said 'we' and 'baby' and pointed to her he sang 'Baby I'm your man', Zack singing on key and every thing. He was quite proud of himself that he could sing this song so well.
