While under the shower she couidnjt help hut recapture some of the events that led to her first formal . . . Hit ali started way hack in seventh term, when I hadnit started thinking of the prom. I aiways did have a soft spot in my heart for Paul. it seemed that whatever theme I wrote in English, it always had something ahout Paul.
