AT SCHOOL, THE next day, I passed by a poster and remembered how Pamela had mentioned the Twist Twirl. I had never bothered to read event notices before, but figured I’d do so now. Apparently the Twist Twirl was a school dance to be held in a few weeks. For this one event the girls got to ask the boys to go with them. Kind of like a Sadie Hawkins Day.

I knew right off who Pamela would want to go with, and then, I don’t know what came over me, but I started having this fantasy of me walking in with Craig, and Pamela falling off her platform shoes, flat on her face. It wasn’t that I just wanted to shock everyone—I really wanted to be at the dance with Craig. We got along so well. He was always laughing and joking with me, so he must like me. As the day wore on, the more excited I got. I would beat Pamela to the punch.

I had never cared before how long Nancy spent blabbing on the phone. However, the one time I wanted to make a call she must have been on for two hours, catching up with all the kids she had just spent the whole day with. After supper I got my chance. Dad was working on bills in his office and Mom took Nancy out to get her hair trimmed. I must have stood by the telephone for ten minutes before I got up the nerve to dial the number I had spent all day memorizing. It rang four times, each time making my heart pound louder. On the fifth ring Craig’s mother answered.

“What do you want?” she drawled into the mouth-piece. Her words were slurred and she sounded half-asleep. I panicked and hung up the phone with shaking hands.

“I’ll ask him tomorrow,” I decided.
