When Nathan decided to show up at his school’s dance without a date, he thought it would make him seem mysterious and available, but now that he’s here, he hasn’t a clue how to approach any of the girls to ask them to dance. Which is too bad, because most of the girls seem like they also didn't come with dates, and that short one in particular keeps staring at him for some reason. But none of his other friends came to the dance, so poor Nathan doesn’t even have a buddy to sit and talk to. He’s just lonely. Luckily, the cost of admission included all the snacks one can eat at the concession table, so he’s just going to sit here and eat nuts and keep to himself until this horrible night is over.
