Well, that did it. I had turned down two offers already in hopes Doug would ask me, but he hadn't, and the idea that someone was going to have to fix me up was simply too much to bear. Doug, at that moment, was getting a soda out of the Coke machine and so I walked right over and tapped him on the shoulder. "Doug, will you take me to the homecoming dance? Because if you don't they're going to make me go with somebody else and I'd rather go with you."
