Feyisola or "Fey" Oduyebo, 17, had plans to attend her senior prom with a girlfriend when two weeks before the event her friends pressured her to text the boy she dreamed of going with. 

"Hey, I have a question for you..." texted Fey. 

After a few coy texting exchanges Fey finally gave in and texted the big question:

"Will you go to prom with me?" She typed anxiously. Too nervous and embarrassed by the possible outcome, she hid the phone under her pillow once she hit send. 

A week later and still to Fey's surprise, Jamal St. Rose, 16, turned up at the Oduyebo apartment building in Brooklyn dressed in his tux and blue lace bow tie. 

The following images capture the nerves, giggles, hormones and lead up to senior prom as part of the larger series "The After School Project."
