even heard me or understood what I said. Apparently, she heard me loud and clear. Four days later I received a message on Twitter from Paige admiring my bravery. She said that she would have loved to go to prom with me, but she was going to a Kenny Chesney concert instead. It was bittersweet, knowing I had succeeded and failed all at once.
