This has got to be the luckiest guy at EKHS.
His name is Pablo, and he is an exchange student from Ecuador. That wonderfully beautiful and rich country that sits astride the equator on South America’s west coast. But that’s not the reason why I call him the luckiest guy. Here is the reason–actually two reasons why I say that.
That’s right. Eliza and Briana, co-captains of the Falcons water polo team and the best of friends. (Don’t they look different here than they do in the pool?) You’ll probably want to know more, and so by way of explanation, I offer this.
It was shortly after senior night, and the event was the prom. Pablo had asked Briana to attend with him and she accepted. They would attend with a group of their friends. There was a problem–Eliza had recently broken up with her boy friend and she had no escort. Eliza had organized a special evening for the group and so it would just not be right for Eliza to go with the group unescorted. That’s where courtly manners and friendship enter. Briana and Pablo decided that Eliza should go with them. She agreed. See what I mean about being the luckiest guy? Imagine an evening with two beauties like these.
Prom evening arrived. The group gathered and boarded their transportation for the evening–a trolley.
Our intrepid three are on the right. The trolley took the group of friends to a restaurant downtown for a meal, then on to the prom and afterward back to the school. It was a great night for everyone.
PS — Sorry Lin, no dorky prom pictures here.
Doreen, That's what I'm thinking.
Dawn, Beauties on the outside and on the inside.
Shark, Poor limo drive had to be thinking about his prom night.
Lin, Pablo is da man! Isn't it interesting how that works with the younger generation? Also great that Colin could do that and not feel completely left out. I like the Pablo Plan better though.
Wow, Pablo is rockin' it!!! Go Pablo!!
I like that you don't have to be a couple to go to prom anymore. It's times like these that it is nice for everyone to be able to go. Colin went without a date and he was happy because there was no pressure and less cost. I think he liked it better that way.
We saw a group last week that must have been something like this… there were 4 guys and 3 girls. They had been out to dinner and stopped for ice cream on the way to the prom. The limo driver seemed bored, but the kids were very cool.
I agree… a very lucky guy to have two beauties on his arm!
how cool the group went in a trolley! I bet Pablo is lovin the US right about now!!
