Streamers hang from the ceiling...
Illustration
Streamers hang from the ceiling. Punch, pretzels, and candy cover the snack table. Music blares over a large sound system. It is an eighth grade dance, although nobody is actually dancing. You know the scene. One side boys, on the other side girls. A lot of nervous laughter and giggling. Young people trying to convince somebody to be their champion and break the ice with the other gender. Pushes and dares with responses of squeals and threats. Trips to the washroom.
