？He？scute　！？　Dan　slouched；　pletely　dejected。　Vanessa　and　Aaron　were　laughing

and　flirting；　and　they？d　probably　get　back　together　before　the　night　was　even　over。　Looking　so

beautiful　and　confident　in　her　sky　blue　sheath　dress；　it　was　hard　to　believe　Vanessa　had　ever　been

his　girlfriend。　Dan　was　a　sexually　confused；　cream…puff…eating　geek　who　was　about　to　drive

cross…country　in　a　car　that　was　practically　extinct。　What　had　she　ever　seen　in　him；　anyway？
