Oliver wasn't a big fan of social events, but this one was different. He was still nervous as he straightened up his tie for what was probably the fiftieth time, but he didn't figure that there would be too much interacting with others. Prom was a more formal event, and typically when people went with dates they partnered off with their date, from what he could tell. He wouldn't have to worry too much about talking to people he didn't know from a hole in the head because he'd be with Lenita the entire time. She was his date, and to be honest, he was very much looking forward to walking around with her by his side.
Oliver was wearing a tuxedo and a lavender tie to match Lenita's lavender dress. They'd gotten a corsage to go with this whole ensamble, and it was clear that Oliver was taking the whole thing very seriously. More seriously than most fifteen year olds, but that only stood to reason - He wasn't most fifteen year olds. He was a reincarnate. His romance with Lenita was a teenage romance in some ways, but much more than that in others.
Oliver's style of dress even indicated once more that was by no means the average fifteen year old. A bowler hat sat atop his head once more, there in his past life because hats were simply more commonplace then, and were regarded as typical formal wear, but atop Oliver's head now because he did not feel comfortable parting from a tradition that he was used to. Formal occasions called for hats in the past, and they called for them now. He wouldn't feel comfortable otherwise.
Oliver strode into the gym. There were plenty of others there, but he only had eyes for one. The girl in the lavender dress, who could hang glide with the best of them. The girl in lavender dress who knew how to go what she wanted for, and didn't let small things stop her. Lenita. His Lenita. Her Oliver.
"You're looking beautiful tonight."[/color] He greeted her with an almost goofy grin on his face. Reincarnate or not, this was still his first prom, and his first time in this serious of a relationship with a girl. He wouldn't get everything right, but he was confident that Lenita wouldn't hold it against him too much. And that made all the difference for Oliver.
