Green 5, Eton Blue 8: Pride

Author: Kat
Title: Pride
Story: In the Heart
Colors: Green 5 (greenbacks), Eton blue 8 (prom).
Supplies and Materials: Miniature, canvas, brush (facilitate), glitter (overcoming), novelty beads (Hearts on fire, you'll learn/End up with heartburn - Barenaked Ladies, "Wind It Up"), pastels (face).
Word Count: 100.
Rating: PG.
Summary: Ivy had plans for prom.
Warnings: offscreen homophobia.
Notes: Last green.


She'd spent a lot of money to make this happen; nearly half a season's earnings from Christmas work. A green silk dress for her, a pink rose corsage to match Caitlin's, limo, tickets, dinner for two.

It was her senior year, after all, the last chance to put one in the eye of the homophobic assholes at school. She could already see the looks on their faces, and then the week before, Caitlin cancelled, because she was only a junior, and she still had to live with them.

Ivy had her pride. She went alone.

And nobody saw her cry.

:( Poor Ivy, but I admire that she kept her pride.

Very nice.

:( I can understand why Caitlin got scared, though. I'm glad Ivy still went.

Yeah, the 90s/early 00s were pretty homophobic, if I remember correctly--I can understand Caitlin's reasons for cancelling, but at the same time, I'm proud of Ivy for sticking to her guns.

Aww, Ivy. I mean, I can understand Caitlin's reasons (high school can really suck), but I want to give Ivy a hug here. And I'm so proud of her. Great job.

Oh Ivy. You're so awesome. You rocked my socks, at least.

Hugs for everyone involved!

Aww, poor Ivy. That must have hurt. But she stuck to her guns, because she's Ivy!
