Senior Prom has not been ideal for Keith Watson. To start, he had a crush on his best friend. It was his plan, his big master plan, to ask her to prom, to finally admit how he felt about her. Then it happened.

"Keith! Keith, guess what?" Jessica Ruiz had cried, bursting into the Electric Diner.

"What?" he asked.

"Zac Morrison asked me to prom!" Jessica squealed, as she had had a crush on Zac since middle school.

"Oh, that's great," Keith said, faking sincerity for his friend.

Prom came, Jessica went with Zac, and Keith with his platonic friend Eliza. It was horrible.

"It'll be okay, Keith," Eliza said as they danced in the gym, "Zac's a jerk, Jess will see that soon enough."

"I just don't want her to get hurt," Keith replied.

Eliza made a face, "I think it's too late."

Keith followed her gaze across the room where Zac was making out with some blonde girl.

"YOU JERK!" Jessica screamed, and dumped a punch bowl over him.

"Jess!" Keith cried, as she then ran off.

"Go!" Eliza cheered, "Find your girl!"

She was on the roof. The lights of the city caught her hair and highlighted her features perfectly. Her yellow dress was a bright spot in the sea of darkness.

"Jessica!" he called, "What are you doing? Come away from there!"

"I'm not going to jump, Keith, don't be silly," she said without turning, "I hope the stains never come out of their stupid clothes."

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Yeah, I guess, I mean, tonight's not turning out quite like I planned,"

"Me neither," he admited.

"Oh really? What wrong with you?" she bumped shoulders with him.

"The girl I like doesn't know I like her," he said, "And I don't know how to tell her how I feel."

"Well, if you like her, don't go making out with other girls, that's step one," she laughed bitterly, "Girls like the little things, you know? Like giving her your last M and M or a silly playlist or-"

"Or chasing her up to the roof when her date turns out to be a jerk?" he interupted.

"Yeah, like that."

They stood in silence.

"I like you too Keith, like, more-than-friends-like," she whispered.

He looked at her, "Can I kiss you?"

"Yeah, I think that'd be good," she giggled.

They leaned in, closing the gap, letting their lips meet in the darkness. The world stood still.

Breaking apart, they grinned at each other, and Keith whispered a line for Jessica's favorite book, "And in that moment, I swear, we were infinite"
