Oh yes

That immediately got me thinking. I have always been attracted to Alicia. Ever since we made out with each other on a dare three years ago I’ve wondered what it would be like to be with her. The kiss just now brought those thoughts up to the front of my mind. She wasn’t the hottest girl around but damn if she wasn’t beautiful. Wavy brown hair that just reached just below her shoulders, a very pretty face with brown eyes, a sharp nose and full lips. A perfect tan made her seem a very light shade of brown. She wasn’t very tall. She was almost flat chested and the baggy clothes she wore didn’t help her any. Her ass was a perfect attribute of her body though. I have spent hours staring at that ass whenever she wasn’t looking.

“What are you talking about? You asked me before you left remember,” I asked her with a grin.

Alicia blinked. “I almost forgot about that. You still haven’t given me an answer though.”

So my power could give false memories even if they weren’t true. This could be very handy.

“I would love to be your prom date.”

I didn’t notice that Alex had started **** on his food and was now thumping on his chest.

“What *cough* You two? Together,” he asked incredulously. “You asked him? Seriously?”

I smirked as I gave Alicia a one armed hug. “Yeah. She thinks I’m hot and she secretly likes me.”

Alicia blushed and swatted me on the arm. “It was supposed to stay a secret dumbass.”

Although the day started off pretty bad, it was offset by the fact that a girl I secretly liked now liked me back. Hey as long as she thought it was true, I’m happy with it. The rest of the day passed in a blur. I randomly collected money from my teachers and I now had about one fifty dollars as pocket money.

Even when I reached home I didn’t let the sight of my step family disturb me. I quickly told my dad that I didn’t want to talk to him right now and checked my mail. To my delight, I had gotten the scholarship as well. It wasn’t a full scholarship though. It was only about sixty percent as I had guessed already. Now that half my problem was solved, I only had to figure out how to get the rest of the money.

Although I had my new found power at my disposal, I didn’t want to start robbing people. I might just end up putting them in an unpleasant financial situation. It looked like I would have to rely on my dad after all. I hated it but I realized that I could just demand that he pay the money. I could do that later though. I decided to wait till prom ended before doing anything.

Right before the day of the prom, I sat down with my ‘family’ at dinner and casually gave them orders.

“Dad, Margaret. Take Dannie with you to the next town tomorrow and have a good time. Don’t come back till the next afternoon.”

“That’s a great idea John. Margaret and I have been meaning to take a day off anyway,” my dad said with a smile. It was the most I’ve spoken to him since the incident and I didn’t want to talk to him anymore.

Before I knew it, it was prom night and I was standing in front of Alicia’s house dressed in a smart tuxedo I took the liberty of buying with my dad’s money. I knocked on the door and Alicia’s dad answered the door.

“John! Come on in,” he said with a smile which I could see was a bit strained.

Once I was inside, Alicia’s mom greeting me with a hug that gave me a smile that was warmer than her husband’s. “My you look dashing John.”

“Thank you Mrs. Walker. I brought you these,” I said and handed her the box of chocolates I brought.

She thanked me and we sat down in the living room chatting while I waited for Alicia. Mrs. Walker was as cheerful as always and chatted with me warmly but her husband was another story. He kept throwing thinly veiled threats at me and was trying to intimidate me. It was understandable after all. I was the guy who was taking his daughter to prom. Any dad would be nervous. After a while though, I got tired of it and decided to do something about it.

“Thank you for letting me take your daughter to prom, Mr and Mrs. Walker,” I said. “Alicia told me you’re very happy that I’m the one taking her to prom and not someone else.”

Mr. Walker’s expression immediately changed. “Of course John,” he said with a much more honest smile, “You’ve been friends for a long time after all. We’re glad she asked you and not some random hooligan.”

“We know you won’t try to pressure her,” Mrs. Walker supplied.

“I would never,” I said with an indulgent smile. “By the way she’ll be staying over at my place tonight.”

Seeing them about to object I quickly added, “Believe me when I tell you that I won’t behave inappropriately with her. We’ll only be having a small gathering with a couple of friends and have a good time.”

“No problem. It is prom night after all.”

After a couple of minutes Alicia came out and I gaped at her appearance. She was wearing a beautiful blue dress. The gown reached the floor and her sleeveless top was sparkling. She had let her hair down as usual and wore just the right amount of makeup with a light red lipstick. She was dressed more beautiful than sexy. Typical her parents wouldn’t allow their daughter to dress like that.

“You look stunning Alcia,” I complimented her. She blushed and gave me a shy smile.

“You’re very handsome too John,” she replied.

Mr. Walker drove us to school and all the while, he kept looking in the rear view mirror to make sure that I didn’t try anything with his daughter. I chuckled at his behaviour. I could have made him concentrate solely on the driving and ignore us but I decided to give him this one little satisfaction. He won’t be with us for the rest of the night after all.

As soon as her father drove off after dropping us, Alicia latched on to my arm and leaned in. “Oh my god that was so awkward.”

“What did you expect? His daughter is going to be with a hot young guy for the rest of the night,” I said with a laugh.

“Cocky bastard,” she said and smiled. We made it into school and it took a while to find Alex. He was happily chatting with his date and based on her reaction, she was having a good time as well. After exchanging pleasantries, we parted ways. It was obvious that he wanted to be alone with her if the subtle glances he gave me were any indication.

We went around chatting with people and having some food while the people filled in. We eventually sat down on one of the tables and I struck up a conversation with her.

“You really do look beautiful Alicia. Why haven’t you dressed like this before?”

“I have to save something to impress you know. If you hadn’t noticed a lot of eyes are on me right now.”

I had noticed. People were surprised that this was the same Alicia they knew. I had caught more than one guy trailing her ass as we passed by.

“I definitely did. In fact, I can’t keep my eyes off you either,” I said and shamelessly let my eyes wander. I noticed that she didn’t mind all that much that you stared.

“You like me flirting with you. You feel hot when I admire your body.”

Alicia blushed. “Well yeah but stop doing that. It makes me uncomfortable when you do it in public.”

“No it doesn’t.”

She rolled her eyes and relaxed, the little tension she had fading. I spent a lot of time tracing every curve of her body as we conversed but I mostly focused on her face. It was my favourite part of her body. She was definitely one of the prettiest girls I knew and I was glad I was her date for the night.

“Oi, John! How are you buddy?”
