I’m sitting at home playing Xbox and wondering what the hell I could do to make Asha like me, when my brother calls. Jax is a freshman in college, and he’s currently living in the dorms at Texas A&M, having the time of his life. Sometimes I can’t wait to graduate high school, but then he’ll tell me about his course load and I wonder if I’m really all that ready for college. After I listen to him bitch about his chemistry class, he asks what’s going on with me. I heave a sigh, wondering if I should tell my brother this embarrassing ordeal or just keep it to myself. He’s always been my best friend, and he’s my brother so I know I can trust him not to ridicule me.

Plus I could use some advice…

I go ahead and tell him about Asha, and my ridiculous crush on the girl. I leave out exactly how gorgeous she is, because if I start talking about that, I could go on forever. But I tell him the gist of it.

“So what’s the issue?” Jax says. “You like the girl, so ask her out.”

“I technically already did ask her out.”

“What’d she say?”

I sigh. “She said she’d rather fail her class than go on a date with me.”

“What the hell does failing a class have to do with anything?” he asks.

“Well… she seems to think she’s going to fail dance class because I refuse to dance.”

“I don’t get it.”

“Yeah, I don’t either.” I lay back on my bed and run a hand through my hair. “She’s the class Officer and thinks it’s like her responsibility, or whatever.”

“Oh damn,” Jax says. “That’s actually a big deal. There’s only like one Officer per class, and they have to demonstrate leadership and stuff. I remember that from when I was dating Jacie in high school. Her grade does depend on the other people in the class, bro.”

“Seriously? That’s so stupid!”

“Yeah, it is, but if she made Officer, she’s probably very serious about getting into college and stuff.”

“So you’re saying the whole reason I can’t get the girl of my dreams to date me is because of a stupid dance class?”

“No, I’m saying you can’t get the girl of your dreams to date you because you’re stupid.”

I groan. “What am I supposed to do?”

“Uh, dance?” he says with a snort. “It’s literally in the name of the class. I don’t know why you’re so dumb.”

“Dude, I’m not dancing,” I say. “It’s a class of all girls, and I have like, no dance skill whatsoever.”

“She’s not graded on your God-given dance talent,” Jax says. “She’s graded on how well her students listen to her. If you want her to like you, you need to dance.”

I shake my head furiously. Just the thought of doing those silly dance moves brings heat to my cheeks. No way. Not happening. “Maybe there’s another option,” I say, thinking out loud. “I’ve got their dances memorized by now because I’ve seen it so much. I even know the names of the dance moves.
