After a night of victory, partying, and endless fun, the school was anything but quiet the next day. The energy continued to flow from the crowd even 12 hours after the event. Waiting at Karen's locker that morning was an unexpected visitor, Rick.
"What do you want Rick?" Karen was never too fond of him. They went out on only one date and Karen realized that she couldn't stand the guy. Rick on the other hand, was madly in love with Karen.
"Can't a guy congratulate a friend on a victory?"
"I guess so." Then Rick held out his hands waiting for a hug. He would be waiting a while, a long while.
"Rick, nothing has changed between us. So stop pretending to be my boyfriend."
"Ouch, a little annoyed are we today?" Rick had sarcastically responded. "I was just wondering if you wanted to go to the dance on Friday with me, just as friends of course."
"Uh...I'm sort of already going with someone..."
It took Rick a few seconds to process what she had just said. Karen was never the type of person to go to these dances, yet she already had a date and it was only Tuesday? Even if she did go, she would have at least waited 'til Friday to accept someone's offer.
"Wait...who are you going with?"
Karen had an ingenious plan. Since Karen was already going with Jack, someone still had to go with Ann. Rick and Ann were friends, so Karen didn't think there'd be a problem with them as a couple. "I will tell you, only if you take Ann to the dance." Karen was devious, no doubt about it.
"...Ann? Uh, alright...I guess I'll take her."
Karen smiled as if saying thank you. She then proceeded to walk to her next class.
"Karen!! Who are you taking?!" Rick shouted from down the hall, but Karen kept on walking as if she didn't hear a thing...
