Page 17 - Save the Last Dance for Me
        P. 17
     I thought of all my disastrous
       dancing experiences in junior high
       and high school, and the thought of
       taking a dance class that would
       actually count as credit made my
       heart pound.
              “I’m sorry,” I said, “but I’m
       not a dancer.  I bet David, Bryce,
       or any of the others would be
       happy to join you.  They should be
       waking up any minute, so you can
       ask them.”
              “Actually, I was hoping you’d
       join me,” she replied.  “You’re so
       strong and athletic.”
              “Athletic and graceful are very
       different.  Almost all of my
       previous dance experiences have
       been disasters.”
