At break, all the girls were talking, nothing except the school dance, which is in eleven more days. They talked about what they might wear, which guys are taking them, you know, the usual. Jen said that Travis Jackson is taking her, which wasn't helping.

I didn't want to talk about the dance because I was afraid that Jason won't ask me. So, I tried not to think about it. As I was thinking of a different topic to talk about, Jen was bragging about how Travis asked her of all the girls in the entire student body.

At home, I was doing homework when the phone rang. Since Mom and Sam weren't around, I answered it.

"Hello."

"Hi. Is Taylor there?"

"This is Taylor."

"Oh, hi! This is Jason. Is your brother there too?"

"No."

"Good. Now, I can finally ask you something."

"What is it?"

"Taylor Anderson, will you go to the dance with me?"

"Hmm... let me think about it. Yes!"

"That's great. I'll pick you at 7pm."

"Sure."

"Wait, what about Sam? He won't like the fact that I'm taking you to the dance."

"True."

"Will your mom approve it?"

"If you meet her, I'm sure that she will. Besides, she was happy when she learned that we kissed."

"I gotta go. I have homework to finish."

"Me too."

"I'll see you later."

"Okay. Bye."

We both hung up. I'm feeling like I want to scream and laugh.

I am happy that Jason asking me to the dance the next day. When Alicia and Jen saw me smiling, Alicia said, "Looks like someone got a date." Jen said, "So, who's the lucky guy?" I look around to see if Sam's in sight.

Fortunately, he wasn't, so I motioned them to come closer and whispered, "It's Jason."
