Page 16 - Save the Last Dance for Me

Sherry went to the same church

as my roommates and me. I knew

her mostly through my roommates.

They all thought she was pretty,

and some of them had even asked

her out during the previous

semester. But I was much shier

and more reserved than my

roommates, so I was surprised she

even knew my name.

“You don’t have a class during

the eight o’clock hour, do you?”

Sherry asked.

“No,” I replied.

“Good. I’m trying to get into

social dance, but because there are

so few men, the instructor won’t

let a girl in unless she brings a guy

with her.”
