Or, Mindy May Be Overreacting.  Again.  You Be The Judge.

Just about 11 months ago, this was my Biscuit:

Glammin’ it up, promin’ it up.  She was a sophomore, invited by a friend and had a blast!  She looked like a movie star – the Pieces’ mom called her “Hollywood” for a bit – and I cried when she looked like this.

This year she’s a junior and this is HER prom.  HER way.  HER dress.  HER date is a sophomore so she’s bossing him around.  A little.  They are great, great friends and have been for years.  This year instead of movie star she plans to party like a rock star.  Without the illegality of it all.  She’s totally psyched.  We’ve got the dress, the shoes, jewelry, makeup and the ‘do is picked out.  All that’s left is to wait for the day.

She.  Is.  Pumped.

Or was.

Her date/friend told her on their way to pick out his tux last weekend that he and a girl from her class are “talking”.  I think that means “texting” ’cause I was unaware that kids talked these days.  I also think it means they kinda like each other.  She asked him to prom.  He politely said no, that Biscuit had already asked him.  No biggie.  Biscuit, being ever the diplomat that she is, told him it’s cool if he dances with her and hangs out with her some.  Hey, they’re not married.  Heck, they’re not even dating!  They’re just two friends partying it up prom-style.

Yesterday she gets a text from the girl.  Here’s the gist:  Did you know he and I are “talking”?  Well I heard there’s someone you’re “talking” to (there’s not).   Well, I don’t have a date so I think you should ask the person you’re “talking” to so I can take your date because I really like him.  I understand if you don’t want to.  But please consider it.

Prom is April 20.  This text was received April 2.  Less than 3 weeks away!

And, seriously, if there was someone else Biscuit was “talking” to wouldn’t she have asked him?  She and her date discussed this prom date thing last year at this time.  If neither of them had a BF/GF she’d take him.  Just as friends.  So they could party like rock stars.  No pressure, just friends having the time of their lives.

To be fair (as if I feel like I need to be?) the girl did text her later and say nevermind, that she’d heard he already ordered his tux.  As if that was the deciding factor.  Biscuit’s feelings were hurt and it threw kind of a dark cloud over a day/night she’s been looking forward to for months.  Totally uncool.

What do you think?  Am I wrong thinking this was waaaaaaay out of line?

P.S. – Prepare yourselves.  Pics to come.  In just a little under three weeks…
