"Hey, Yumi," William walked up to Japanese girl after the last bell of the day had rung. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, William," Yumi replied, clutching her books to her chest as she had been while waiting for her friends' class to let out.
"I know that this is really short notice, but I didn't know if the tux my parents were sending would make it in time," he started. "So, now that I know I'm able to go, would you like to be my date for the prom?"
"Oh…" the rejection was clear in Yumi's voice. "William, I'm sorry, but I already asked Ulrich…"
"Yeah, but as a date?"
"No, as…someone to go with…"
"Well, I'm asking you to be my date. Ulrich's still an eighth grader, right? He'll have a chance to go next year, no invitation needed. So, what time do you want me to meet you?"Yumi furrowed her brow. "Hey, I didn't say that I was going to go with you. I just told you that I've already invited Ulrich."
"Yumi, you act like he's your boyfriend or something. Can't you just forget him for one night? Or do you have too much of a crush on him?"
"William, I really don't like the way you're talking to me, so I'm just gonna go now, ciao," Yumi said in a bothered tone and quickly walked away from him to meet up with her own group of friends as they left their classroom.
"Hey, Yumi!" William called out to her. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say it like that!"
"What a bummer, huh?" a new voice said from behind him. William turned around to see Sissi standing with her arms folded, having just left the same room as Yumi's friends. "I know what will make her come back to you."
"What?" William asked, sounding a little skeptical.
"You need a date to your prom this weekend, right?" Sissi asked.
"Yeah."
"Well, ask me to go with you and you'll find out."
