It used to be that, when a girl got passed over as a potential prom date, she stayed locked, weeping torrents of tears, in her bedroom or called her friends to discuss the shortcomings of the male species or took out her angst by pigging out on a carton of Hagan-Daz Rocky Road ice cream.
That was then, this is now.
Apparently, some of today's slew of rejected prom dates may be a bit more demonstrative. At least, this was the case of one spurned Trenton, New Jersey teen. the 19-year-old gal decided that payback was in order, when the boy of her dreams refused to ask her to be his prom "date mate."
Police allege that the disgruntled lass burned down the house of the fella that broke her heart. His folks and other family members barely managed to get out alive
What really appears to have sent the incensed chick over the edge was the further revelation that the dude who rejected her had, instead, chosen to take another girl to the event.
Hm, wonder why?
I suppose this is sort of a high school version of "Fatal Attraction!"
The teen torcher was arrested and charged with arson.
