Francis spends a lovely time with Ms. Yu, but eventually the time comes that Francis needs to head home. He and Yu find themselves acting like lovesick teenagers, clutching to each other at the door, kissing deep with plenty of groping and feeling each other up thrown in.
"I'll need you to stay after class again tomorrow," Yu breathes.
"I'll be there," Francis assures her, "Do you want to go to Mock-Prom with me?"
That catches Yu completely off guard. Mock-Prom is a joke, really, a bunch of nervous students huddled in groups, too shy to dance or even talk to the opposite sex. Still, it's the closest thing Francis' school has to a school dance and Ms. Yu is extremely flattered to be invited to be his date.
"What will people say," she wonders.
"Probably that I'm the luckiest guy there," Francis answers.
"Oh...okay then, it's a date," says Ms. Yu.
They share one more searing kiss before Francis is on his way. Now to get home. Francis knows the way, but on the way home that night...
