PART 1
MY GRANDPA MADE MY PROM DRESS JUST 5 DAYS BEFORE HE DI:ED — MY CLASSMATES LAUGHED AT ME UNTIL THE MOST POPULAR BOY IN SCHOOL TAUGHT THEM A LESSON.
My grandpa had been raising me since I was six years old.
He worked two jobs just to make sure I had everything I needed.
When prom season came around, I knew we couldn't afford one of those expensive dresses all the girls at school were shopping for. I figured I'd probably end up finding something at a thrift store.
Then Grandpa promised,
"Sweetheart, I'll make sure you have the most beautiful dress."
Instead of buying one, he secretly made it himself.
When he showed it to me, my jaw nearly HIT the floor.
It was perfect.
Five days later, my grandpa DIED of a heart attack.
I almost didn't go to prom.
But I wore the dress he had made.
The girls who had ALWAYS MOCKED me laughed.
"That's obviously a RAG."
I turned to leave.
Then Glenn, the most popular guy in school, stopped me.
"Stay right here for ten minutes."
He walked onto the stage.
WHAT happened next silenced the entire ballroom.
The girls who had laughed at me turned red with embarrassment.
