“Ugh! Why does everyone already have a date for the dance!?” Elliot complains pulling his hair and banging his head on the lockers after being rejected yet again by a potential date for the valentines dance.

“Uhhh… Maybe it’s because there is only one day before the dance.” Matthew, one of Elliots best friends, responds sarcastically with a playful smirk as he earns against the lockers beside his friend.

“No one asked for your option, Mat!”

“Uh, you did. Just now.”

“It’s called a rhetorical question, duh!”

“Aww, come on Mat. Stop bothering our dear friend. He is already suffering enough on his own, even though it is of his own doing.” Jonathan teases walking up to his friends after class.

“UGH!” Elliot groans in fruition’s into the lockers.

Johnathan and Matthew both grin at each other, satisfied with their friends reaction to their teasing. 

“OH! I know!” Mathew slugs slings an arm around Elliots shoulder while adjusting his backpack. “You could ask Bradley to the dance!”

“Bradley?… Bradley Wallace? The oh so popular Bradley Wallace that has rejected every person that has asked him out since… ever? That Bradley Wallace?”

Mathew nods his head enthusiastically with a wide childlike grin.

“You can not be serious.”

“Come on, why not!? As far as I know he doesn’t have a date to the dance.” Matthew responds.

“That’s because he rejects everyone that asks!” Elliot exclaims. 

“I agree with Matthew.” Johnathan chirps in with concentration expressed on his face. “It might be the best chance you have. Since everyone else seems to be already taken, might as well ask the only known available bachelor in the school.”
