Date with Love Page #2

---

Yes, exactly.

Right.

Can...

Can you keep a secret?

Yeah?

No way,

this is you!

In my prior life.

I wasn't always

an English teacher, you know.

I didn't know

you wrote poetry!

It's not exactly something

I want to spread

around the school,

but...

Maybe it will give you

some inspiration.

Thanks, Mr. Walsh!

Good luck

with that promposal.

Mr. Walsh!

Did I hear you mention

the prom?

Uh, yes.

Was just helping out

one of the kids.

Mm-hmm.

Well, as your fellow

prom committee member,

save me a dance.

Hollywood starlet

Alex Allen

has a red-carpet meltdown,

and it's all caught on tape!

Are you breaking up

with me on the red carpet?

Goodbye, Alex.

Colin, you said you loved me!

So, Meghan,

what do you think?

Is this the end...

Alex?

You never know, Brian.

Hollywood is always...

Alex, honey,

you can't stay in here forever.

Why?

Nobody cares about me.

I do.

You have to.

You're my publicist.

I am also

your best friend,

and you're Alex Allen.

You're a huge movie star.

You've got the number one

romantic comedy in the country

right now.

Yep, I can fall in love

on-screen,

but every romance I've ever had

ends in disaster.

Okay, so you've had

a few bumps along the way

with the men

that you've dated.

No, Paige...

I haven't dated them,

they've dated me,

and only because

I'm famous.

Nobody wants me

for who I really am.

That is not true.

You have millions of fans

out there

who love you

just the way you are.

Oh, yeah?

Have you checked

the Internet recently?

"Alex Allen,

a star has fallen."

"Alex Allen,

is it really over?"

"Alex Allen...

Has America's sweetheart

gone sour?"

We can fix this.

We just need to get a little bit

of good publicity going,

that's all.

Mm.

Wait a minute.

Have you seen this?

What?

It's a video message

to Alex Allen.

It's been viewed

800,000 times.

Let me see that.

Hi, Alex!

My name is David Rogers.

I'm 17,

and I'm a senior

at j.W. Hughes high school

in Arlington heights,

Illinois.

Would you go

to the senior prom with me?

You're probably wondering

why you should even

consider this.

I mean, you don't know me,

and I don't know you,

right?

But there are some things

about you

i think I do know.

You walk in beauty

like the morning sun,

arising with the hope of love.

Your heart beats with

the passion of your courage,

the strength

of your determination,

and the gentle kindness

of an ageless soul.

Ageless!

You are to me

a dream made real,

one from which I hope

to never awake.

So what do you say, Alex?

Will you take a chance on me

and be my date to the prom?

Well, what do you think?

I think it's cute.
