<human>: Last year I (16m) asked my long time crush out (16F). Much to my dismay, she said no. What followed was several months of awkward nothingness and exchanging of glances in the hallway. I got fed up with this and decided to talk to her about it. We talked and decided that we would move past it and just be friends. She was really happy to her me say this and said it was very mature of me to talk to her about it. So she agreed and things have been good between us. Now it's prom season and everyone around me is getting dates. I still haven't gotten completely over her and have been sitting on the idea of asking her. She still doesn't have a date which to me doesn't make any sense because she is gorgeous and super sweet. And for the past couple of weeks, she's been acting differently. I catch her looking at me a lot and she just seems more interested in me in general. I'm not looking for a miracle, but I just want to know if I ask her to prom as a friend how things might turn out. I really don't want to screw things up between us like last time, but I really want to go to prom with her, even if it's just as friends.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: How would the girl who rejected me a year ago react to me asking her to prom as a friend? And how does one go about asking someone as a friend?
