One Nervous Teenager

He would go to those dances
He could never get the nerve to ask a girl to dance
Like he would really know what to do when he got out on the floor
He had tried dancing alone in his room and had gotten so embarrassed that he just had to stop
He watched men & woman dancing on TV & movies
They made it look so easy
Women were so mysterious and full of shit
He wouldn't have a clue what to say to one if he ever got the chance
The dances went by and he went to almost all of them
He would find the darkest part of the gym and watch them with his back to the wall
He saw a girl that was doing the same thing as he was
He checked her out
She was pretty enough
A few times she caught him looking
She was looking at him too after all
He looked at her again and she waved at him
His entire body shuddered
He knew what he should do and at the same time he knew he didn't have the balls to go over and say hello
He was so shy he could barely answer to roll call in class
He looked down at the floor trying to appear unconcerned and even bored
When he looked up again she was there in front of him
His heart started pounding
He thought he might choke
She introduced herself
He managed to get his name out as well
They both agreed that these things are stupid and that they were both there to see how stupid their friends could be and how stupid it was to dance
They decided to try it as a joke
You know like, "Here eat this pound of butter, but only as a joke though"
They went for it in the dark corner of the gym
It was a slow song
Something by Foreigner
The singer then shouted over the music
"Look at this we have all the boys against one wall and the girls against the other"
"Why can't you all be like THOSE TWO OVER IN THE CORNER?!!!"

He suddenly felt his dinner rising up
He vomited all over her new shoes
They broke apart
She ran off
He never saw her again
