Socials and Dances

Socials were always awkward for lots of high school kids. The ‘lovers’ revelled in showing off, the couples who weren’t lovers pretended and the rest of us felt like left-out losers. Argh, when would it be our turn to strut about arm-in-arm, waist-to-waist? College seemed a long way off. In the meantime, have another donut. Anyone got a fag?
