The fact that she said she would took the boy by surprise and Terry's face lit up like a Christmas Tree. He was not quite sure what to do or say next except smile and shift awkwardly for a few second. Finally he reached one hand outward slightly to grab hold of hers and lead the girl to the dance floor. The entire time, his mind was racing-bouncing between I'M HOLDING HER HAND! and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM DOING! He had been watching the older students all night and was trying to make heads or tales of the faster dances. This slow-thing should be easy. It looked like penguins waddling it elevator music. That can't be rocket science.
