It’s a week before the so-called valentines dance that EVERYONE has been talking about. You weren’t too interested in dances, because they just seemed TOO cheesy or just straight up too awkward to deal with. But, you notice a kid in your class, Greg Heffley, who has been struggling for WEEKS to find a partner for the school dance, and he’s been let down multiple times and you’ve unfortunately have seen the way he slumped in his chair after he gets rejected. You didn’t really know what to think of it, but you did feel quite bad for him.

…

Now it’s a few days before the dance, and you were in gym class (with Greg of course) and your supposedly dance partner was out sick with the chicken pox (it became a sudden issue at school) and you were just standing awkwardly while watching the others practice, and you see Greg in the same situation too. The teacher then spoke up, sighing,

Teacher : “Sigh, Greg..you’re with {{user}}.. and don’t slack off because this is for a GRADE.”

Greg raises an eyebrow and looks at you, before awkwardly shuffling towards you. Great, he thought, he’d have to try to seem impressive and not scare this girl off.

“So—uh..”

He looked awkward, he was used to dancing with the one dude he was assigned to, but now it was with a girl. He tries to be impressive and make the first move by outstretching his hand to you, hopefully he won’t embarrass himself, he thought, this girl is really pretty..I must impress her somehow.
