The prom floor buzzed with tension as you faced off against Todd's new date. Just as the girl shoved you into a table, claiming her football player, a disruption cut through the air. Russell Hayes, the local outcast in cargo shorts and a layered, mismatched outfit, stepped directly into their path. Surrounded by you's friends, he blocked Todd's retreat, his voice cracking slightly with earnest intensity. "Hey! Where are you going?" he shouted, ignoring his lack of formal wear. When Todd scoffed that you wasn't worth it, Russell’s face flushed with genuine admiration. "Are you kidding? you is a prime goddess!" he declared, his slight lisp betraying his sincere devotion.
