The Back to School Dance (Part 1)

Logan, Adam, and Connor are sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch. Logan is staring at the girls table.

"Logan, Logan," says Adam trying to get his attention.

Logan is drooling on his lunch.

Adam figures out who he's looking at, "You're looking at Valerie Larit aren't you."

"It's Larette," Logan corrects Adam.

"Dude, the Back to School Dance is in two days, you have to ask her out."

"I'll ask her at PE when she doesn't have fifty friends around her."

"You said that last time."

"Well, who are you asking, Adam?"

"Er"

"When are you gonna ask out Ariana, hmmm."

"By the end of the day the two of us will have to have dates to the dance."

"Deal."

At PE, Logan and Adam stood next to each other. "Adam, how does my hair look?"

"Good, what about mine."

"Good. Okay, meet back here when we are done, good luck."

"You too."

Logan walked toward Valarie. She was sitting on the bleachers alone. Logan sat down next to her, "Hi, Valarie," he was shaking.

"Hi, Logan," said Valerie.

"Valarie."

"Yeah."

"Do you want to go to the dance with me on Friday?"

"Are you serious."

Logan nodded.

"Absolutely, I'd love to."

"Here," Logan handed her a note with his phone number and a smiley face on it.

"Thanks," Valerie leaned forward and gave Logan a kiss on the cheek then, she walked away to go tell her friends, "see ya later."

"Bye, Valerie," Logan walked back to Adam. He was sitting against the fence shaking.

"What did she say," asked Adam.

"I sat down next to her and we said hi to each other. Then, I asked her if she wanted to go to the dance on Friday, and she said, 'absolutely, I'd love to. Then, I gave her the note and she said, 'thanks' then, she kissed me on the cheek and left."

"Wow, congratulations."

"What did Arianna say."

"Er, I didn't ask her yet."

"What? Let's go," Logan pulled him up and dragged him over to Arianna doing gymnastics in the field, "Go, you know what to do."

Adam walked up to Arianna. Logan was standing about ten feet behind him kicking a rock around, pretending he wasn't listening.

"Do you wanna go to the dance with me."

"Yeah, I guess, whatever," replied Arianna.

Adam gave her the note and she stuffed it in her pocket, "bye."

"How did I do?"

"No offense, but you did terrible compared to me."

In math class today Valerie sits at the desk to the left of Logan. Adam is on the right. And of course Connor is behind him.

"Hey Logan, is that your girlfriend you were talking about earlier," shouted Connor.
