As soon as we got to Frosty Palace for a hangout with the guys, Putzie asked me, "You wanna dance?" I nodded feeling nervous but the song on the juke box didn't make me feel so nervous. As we started dancing he was laughing like we're having a great time. My first date feels incredible.

He turned me around and I giggled. That was fun dancing. Though I wasn't such a great dancer, but energetic!

We stopped dancing because the rest of the guys were all huddled up at the table in the back of the restaurant.

"Hey? What's going on back there?" I asked Putzie and he shrugs. I already started heading to them and Putzie follows me.

I hear Sonny shouting, "Hey Viola! A Dog-Sled delight with four spoons!" And then Kenickie shouts, "and an Eskimo pie with a knife!"

"Hiya gang!" I joined the huddle with Putzie to see that they're all including Sandy were having a conversation and eating a ton of food. But I can't eat sugary, greasy, junk food. I was a little jealous, but I'm trying.

Sonny: "Hi Jan!"

Doody: "Hi Putz!"

Frenchy: "Hi Jan!"

Viola comes with a tray of polar burgers, cherry soda, and chocolate ice cream. "Here y're. Grab it and growl!" She puts it down and I look at it sadly. I love double polar burgers. Those things are my favorite at Frosty's besides all the other stuff.

Rizzo looks in her mini mirror and says, "I have so many hickies, people will think I'm a leper."

Kenickie looks at her picking up a burger and then said, "Hey! Cheer up, uh... A hickey from Kenickie is like a hallmark card. Only when you care enough to send the very best." Then he chomps on his burger.

"You pig!" Rizzo shouts and Kenickie says with a mouthful of heaven, "I love it when you talk dirty..."

We put platefuls of food and drinks on top of the table. I took a handful of onion rings and fries trying my best not to eat them. They look so good.

Sandy asked changing the whole subject, "My parents want to invite you to tea on Sunday. Do you want to come?"

We all look at Danny waiting for an answer.

Danny just said, "I don't like tea." Sandy chuckled, "You don't have to drink tea!" We look at Danny again and then finally says still being cool, "Well I don't like parents."

All of us tried to hold back our laughter because our Danny is trying not to hurt her again.

I look at Putzie and he asks, "You want some?" He holds out a handful of fries.

"Uh... Mm-mm." I shook my head.

"You sure are a cheap date."

What. The. Hell. Did he just say? I'm a cheap date? I wish there is such thing as a rewind button or something because I want to go back a few seconds ago to what he just said.

Putzie immediately exclaims, "Oh I-I didn't mean the way it came out-"

I said giving in, "I understand."

"I always thought you were an understanding person!"

That's true. "I am."

Putzie said slowly, "And I also think... There's more to you than just fat..."

Is that a complement, or an insult? It took a moment to figure it out. So he likes me... On the outside, more than in the inside? I feel confident now.

I said taking it. "Thanks..."

"You're welcome," Putzie says and then asked, "Ya gotta date to the dance-off?"

I smiled shaking my head lightly. "No..."

"Ya want to go?" He asks me again.

I shouted, "Yeah!" I can't believe he asked me to the dance! My heart started pounding like a drum. I feel like I'm about to faint. This better be a dream or something.

I gave him my fry and then put the rest back on the plate.

"Oh no! I'm gonna be a senior forever! I have to study for that dumb algebra test tomorrow!" Marty started hustling to get her purse and her jacket and stood up to leave.

Sonny stopped her and smiles. "Hey! You're in luck luscious! You've got an armed escort home!"

Marty retorts, "It's not the arms I'm worried about Sonny! It's the hands." She went past him and left.

"She loves me." Sonny smiles at us and then comes up behind us. He's hungry for some girls. But always fails at finding the right one. Especially Marty. He's always the trouble maker and sometimes wants to impress in front of a girl but fails to do so.

Doody passed me the banana split and I put it down. He asked, "Hey ya comin' French?"

Frenchy looks up and hesitates, "Oh. I don't think so- I think I'd like to hang out a little bit longer."

"Alright."

I sighed as I put a greasy onion ring back on the plate and wiped my hand on the skirt, "well I've been dieting all day long." I looked at Putzie, "my mom's apple pie is better than this stuff. Ya want a piece?"

"Yeah! Sure!" Putzie smiled. I jumped and ran out the door excited. I can't believe I just asked him to come over! Originally, I was so shy, but I felt as if I'm getting more and more confident then before.
