Cassie and Samantha made their way toward the table where two teachers are sitting. They are collecting votes for the prom queen and prom king.
Every senior received an invitation that grants access to two people. This allows everyone to bring in one date, if they want. During the event, invitations are used as anonymous ballots for the purpose of voting for the king and a queen of the prom. Toward the end of the event, the winners will be announced. It will be a small ceremony where prom king and prom queen get crowned and that is followed by a dance.
"How many people voted?" Samantha asked the teachers who were stationed next to the box.
"Nine so far, Miss Long. There is still plenty of time and not everyone arrived." The teacher responded. He saw that she is looking at him expectantly, so he added: "At this point, you are the frontrunner for the title of the queen."
Samantha forced a smile. "And the king?"
