First of all I just want to wish you the best of luck in your search. I wasn't able to attend my Junior Prom due to driver duties at Nationals in 2002. I was fortunate enough to accompany my driving partner to his prom that year, however, I will never truely know the time that I missed with my friends at my prom.
Just to toss out some suggestions. Quite possibly it may not be a friend, but scoure your school through every single person to try to find an individual to "split a ticket" with you. Quite possibly you may even make a new friend in the process. Maybe you have a cousin female or male that would be close or distant that would go to accompany you or just go to have a good time on his or her own. Scrounge through all of your teammates, try to get one of them to go as friends.
Best of luck, and don't give up hope.
