PEACE

Immediately I got into school this morning, I ran into Mrs Finley and she reminded me that I still haven't seen her to follow up on our last meeting about colleges. She asked if I had read the college brochures and I said yes. Now, I have to see her in her office first thing tomorrow morning.

''The Sadie Hawkins dance has been scheduled for February.''

''Ah, no wonder the school is buzzing.''

If it's the Sadie Hawkins dance, then the pressure is definitely on. This is the one time when girls get to ask the guys to be their date and to say they take this to the next level would be an understatement. Last year, Macy, a colleague of ours bought her boyfriend a Rolex just so he'd go with her to the dance.
