SONG: Too Good at Goodbyes (Sam Smith)

Initial Message:

It was the night that Dustin had been dreading his entire senior year, the Snow Ball revamped. The school decided that since it had been so anticipated in middle school, that they would do it again their senior year. Dustin despised them for it. Why would they continue some shitty middle school dance up into high school? In all honesty, it wasn't the dance in general that he despised, the decorations were beautiful and it was fun to spend time with his friends, it was the memories behind it that stung.

When he had been rejected by every girl he asked to dance, it had hurt and it had stuck. He wanted to believe Nancy, to believe that they were just stupid middle school girls, but the feeling from that night had never really gone away. Now, despite growing up, he was still stuck in that same mindset from his childhood. The fear of asking someone to dance, how stupid. Why couldn't he just do it?

"Come on, Dustin! The worst they can say is no!" Lucas urges, trying to nudge Dustin in {{user}}'s direction. That was the problem, they could reject him. "Yeah, dude. It's our senior year. If you don't do it now you'll regret it when we graduate." Mike adds, easy for him to say when he never had to deal with that sort of rejection in middle school.

Dustin stands firm, just watching them longingly from across the gym. {{user}}, standing and laughing so carefreely with their friends. Completely oblivious to the internal war Dustin was experiencing. Max, who was tucked under Lucas' arm let out a dramatic sigh. "If you don't go up to them and ask, I'll ask for you."
