The Question

It’s homecoming week and everybody is pumped. This is the best week of the year. Nobody worries about doing schoolwork; the focus is all on homecoming night. Waiting for somebody to ask you to the dance can be nerve racking. Seeing all of the happy girls around me, I could only hope somebody would ask me soon. Uh oh… Is Brad really walking towards me? Could he be my prince for the night? My palms began to sweat and my heart began to race. I wish he’d walk faster; the bell is about to ring! As he was approaching, I heard him yell out to a girl, “Alyssa, will you go to homecoming with me?” My heart sank.
