Off on the Wrong Foot

It started out as the best gym class ever. We were going to learn ballroom dancing, and I was lucky enough to be paired up with the boy I had been crushing on all year! When we started the waltz, I was too jittery to really pay attention to my gym teacher's instructions. I had one hand on his shoulder and the other hand holding onto his. It was heaven! When the music started, he was supposed to step forward while I stepped backward. But I stepped forward instead, and my forehead bumped right into his. It was hard to prove to him that I could be graceful after that!
