King of the Prom

The king of the prom was a school legend. He was a pretty average guy but at this dance of dances, his decorum was perfect. Every seemingly infinitesimal facet of his persona and appearance was flawless. The king remained sedate even as the stentorian music blasted through the dance floor. His dancing prowess was unmatched which caused great antipathy from disgruntled boyfriends who found their dates distracted by him. While some jealous dancers beset him for his superior dancing, others attempted to imbibe as many of his patented moves as they could. For the single girls, an invite to dance with him seemed like an ultimatum; either they could accept and surely be shown up, or they could reject and lose standing among their peers.
