“Because I want to go with Eldridge,” Connie answered.
“Eldridge?” Johnny said. “He didn’t even score any goals for the Timberwolves.”
“Eldridge?” Tom said. “He can’t even make a good armpit noise.”
“Eldridge?” Stu said. “What did he do?”
“Me?” Eldridge said. “I never thought about going to the dance. I’m too shy.”
“You’ve spent a lot of time helping me with my computer and my homework,” Connie said to Eldridge. “Once I heard about the Valentine’s fundraiser, I thought it might be nice to help you too. I’m a pretty good dancer, so there’s a good chance we might win the dance contest. Do you think you’d like to go with me?”
“Sure,” Eldridge said, “as long as you’ll teach me to dance.”
Johnny, Tom and Stu turned to leave.
As they walked out of the library, Johnny shook his head at Tom and Stu and said, “Girls! I don’t know if I’ll ever understand them.”
