“Tanya, will you go homecoming with me?” Marshall asked an ecstatic Tanya, who kept her enthusiasm in check.
“You want me to go to homecoming with you?”
“Yes.”
“I can’t believe you asked me?”
“Well, Khrystyna’s been acting like a child lately.” Marshal pointed out.
“Well, if you really want me to go…Yes! I’ll go with you to homecoming!” Tanya told him, but secretly couldn’t wait to tell Khrystyna.
Tanya sees Khrystyna in the hallway at school and decides to rub her nose in the fact that Marshall asked her to the homecoming dance tomorrow night.
“Hey, Khrystyna! Has Marshall asked you to the homecoming dance yet?”
“No he hasn’t.”
“Gee, I wonder why?!”
“I guess he decided not to ask me and he asked someone else.”
“And do you know who that someone else is?”
“I don’t really care, Tanya. I don’t care if he asked you to the dance.”
“So you don’t mind if I did accept Marshall’s invitation to the homecoming dance?”
“Tanya, you could go with every guy in this school and I still wouldn’t care.”
“Well, what will you be doing if you won’t be attending the dance?”
“Stuffing my face with whatever I can find in the fridge.”
“Well, Khrystyna, I’ll think of you while I’m dancing with Marshall. You have a nice time, whatever you do.”
Tanya snickers as she walks off to her next class. Khrystyna runs to the bathroom feeling humiliated. She can’t believe that Marshall asked Tanya to the homecoming dance. She had always dreamed of her and Marshall attending the dance arm in arm. Now that dream won’t come true. Tanya has ruined her dream.
