If I could go back in time to my prom, there are a lot of things that I would change. For instance, my bright green dress that didn’t flatter any part of me, or the color of my hair— that was firetruck red for some reason.
Yes, I had red hair and wore a green dress to my prom, and yes I looked like I was advocating for the commercialization of Christmas. I’ve moved past it.
Mainly, I wish that I was creative enough back then to develop some kind of scheme to get a celebrity to take me to prom like all these other teens managed to do.
Demi Lovato.
Even though Demi ended up becoming a major pop star, she kept her kindergarten promise to her childhood BFF, Nolan Narddechia, and went to prom with him in 2010.
I would redo all four years of high school, with the sole purpose of getting Demi Lovato to take me to prom.
That’s how badly I want Demi to be my prom date. I would sacrifice four years, again , endure all the bullying, awkwardness, and acne, just to get the chance.
