A few ideas off the top of my head...
1. You could draw something or write her a nice letter and give it to her. Then, after she looks at it, pass a lighter underneath and burn away all the ink until the only thing that's left is the message saying "Will you go to prom with me?" You can do this using a FriXion gel pen.
2. An unassuming card effect: Ask her to cut the cards at any point and "mark where she cut" using the criss-cross force. Talk about something special between the two of you for a moment for the sake of setting the tone, presentation, and time misdirection. Push off the card she cut to face down and turn over all the other cards (but hiding the top card--you'll see why in just a moment) in the deck showing her she could have cut to any card. Tell her the card she cut to must be special. She turns it over and it's the 2 of Hearts (built-in metaphor there for you to talk about). Ask her to light the lighter that's been on the table and (top change here) wave the 2 of Hearts over the flame (another presentation hook with the word "flame") a few times until you turn it over and reveal that the words "Will you go to prom with me?" are burned into the card.
3. Do Paul Harris's Counterfeit Spectator with her borrowed dollar bill, changing the ink on the dollar bill to the words "Will you go to prom with me?"
I'm sure she'll appreciate whatever you choose to do. Good luck, and hope you have a fun, safe, and memorable prom night!
