Coronation

The timeless dance where girls ask boys is finally upon us.  February 11th is the day of the dance and my best friend Alex, keeping to her promise of moving but coming down for all the dances and big events, has canceled.  Hearing this news and not being very shocked I asked my other close friend who has become my "Dance Buddy" if she even really wanted to go anymore since the third musketeer wouldn't be able to make it.  Sure enough being the super school spirited one she is she still wanted to go.  Since it was just going to be the two of us she wanted us to go with school tradition and ask a boy.  It is slim pickings since there is two girls for every one guy. My school doesn't have many attractive guys and the few that are attractive are, of course, taken or they have so much to do they really don’t have a social life.   So the only choice left would be to ask a guy friend. Katie (The Dance Buddy) has about three guys already lined up to ask, I have zero.  I don’t want to ask just anyone, what’s the point of going to a dance that last four hours and being glued to the side of a guy in your English class that you can only stand not to punch for about three minutes?  I really don’t want to have to punch my "date" that would really kill the romance.  Every day at lunch when I and Katie have time to sit and talk I tell her that I don’t want to ask anyone. At the moment she hasn't budged from her proposal, and I really don’t want to be that friend that kills the party.
