Coolest Girl in Town

Elise was in a dilemma. She didn’t want to dance with Matthew, but she couldn’t find any reasons to refuse. Luckily for her, Alexander stood before her. “According to the rules, everyone’s dance partner is decided by the draw.” In other words, there was no changing of partners once it was set.

Finally finding an excuse, Elise said, “Sorry, Matthew. We got the same number, so I can’t dance with you.” Perfect. Nobody can refute me.

Elise nodded. It was then the hall went dark, and everyone gasped. About a minute later, everyone heard the sound of wheels creaking, and someone was singing Happy Birthday

“Happy birthday to you… Happy birthday to you…”

Elise nodded. “Not bad.”
