I guess people change, I always thought I was more conservative.

How to ask a girl to homecoming with flowers and a chemistry worksheet:

The Setup:

So today after 4th period I went home, during my lunch period to pick up some flowers. I had a Jelly sandwich too, but that's not so important. Then, I headed back to school and rushed to my 6th hour class. Being on the opposite side of the school, I had to hurry. As I walked I carried some flowers in a black bag. I was going down the homestretch, and who do I run into, as I near the science office? None other than Christopher Chang himself! Chris, a Junior at NCHS, also an expert sleuth asked, "What is in the bag? A shotgun?" Yes Chris -- a shotgun. So I move along to class with my "shotgun" and take my seat. I got there early. In fact, I was the first one there.  I put the "shotgun" on the ground next to me. Already, I was really nervous; I could feel the butterflies.

--Begin Suspenseful Music--

The Plan:

The plan was...now don't laugh...but she would walk in and take her seat, and I would say, "Hey I didn't understand the last problem, could you help me?" And by the space for the last problem I wrote. "Hey Angela I know that it's kind of late...but would you be willing to go to homecoming with me?" And I would give her flowers, or as Chris would have it, the "shotgun".

The Execution:

So after a few minutes into the passing period the target strolls in. She takes her seat. Begin "The Plan". Everything went pretty much according to plan. However instead of saying, "I didn't understand the last problem". I said, "I didn’t understand number four. Now, the worksheet wasn't numbered so she was like what number four? And then she saw the worksheet. So I handed it to her. She read it and said, "Wait are you serious?" Now, I had feared this the whole time. Not the "are you serious" part but the fact that I joke around in that class, a lot. So I was afraid she would just flat out say no because she would think I was playing a really mean joke, but it all turned out good. So anyways back to the story. I of course then reassured her I was being serious, and she then said, "No!"                lol j/k              She said "Yes". Then I realized I still had the shotgun, I mean flowers (damnit Chris) in the bag. So then I gave them to her, and she said thanks and stuff.

The Aftermath:

--Enter Mrs. Wood--

Mrs. Wood: "Oh, what lovely flowers, what's the occasion?"

Nobody says anything. Everyone just looks at Angela.

After a few moments of silence, raising his hand

Tyler: "Uhhhh I uh just asked her to homecoming"

Mrs. Wood dies from shock and we all get A's in AP Chem.

 But not really she just kind of laughs, smiles a little bit, speechless that someone like me could be capable of something semi-serious like that. Or maybe she, like Angela, thought Tyler was just kidding.

Mrs. Wood looks at Angela, noticing that she isn’t angrily protesting my remark, decides Tyler was telling the truth.

Mrs. Wood: Well that was very nice, but you know what you do...you say 'No!' but then you say 'But hey I'm keeping the flowers!'

Everyone laughs. Ha ha ha ha ha. hahahha and stuff. haha. tehhehehe hehehe.

Very funny Mrs. Wood ahahahahahahaReally Funnyhahahaha (Tyler thinks to himself)

Mrs. Wood begins to reminisce about the dances of previous years.

Mrs. Wood: What was that one year where the kids had to ask really creatively?

Tyler: But I did ask really creatively! Look right here.

Tyler picks up his worksheet with pride, showing the class his fine work.

Tyler: Yeah so I just asked her in the blank for the fourth problem on the worksheet. But I did the last problem on the back so you can’t mark me down for not doing my work Mrs. Wood. So hah!

The class laughs at Tyler's great work and ingenuity. Tehehehe ahahahahaha lalalall teeeeeeeeehehehheh ahahahah. And stuff

Summary:

In the end everything worked out just fine. When Mrs. Wood came around and checked my homework she did her laugh thing. You know the hah! thing. I know you know the hah! thing so don't act like you dont. All in all it was just some more good laughs in chem. The rest of the period ran like it normally did, with only a few exceptions: Alex Lee, by the end of the period, had asked at least a hundred times: "Wait did you really ask her?!?!?? Wait so you two are going???!?? For real you're going?? No way!?" And even in the passing period he asked once more just to make sure he had everything straight. (Man that kid makes me laugh). And then there’s the sad story of Chris who was still waiting for me to pull the shotgun out of the bag. He was probably thinking that at any moment I was going to just go for it and start blasting away, but I think about halfway through the period the reality set in: There wasn’t going to be a shotgun after all, in fact there never was a shotgun to begin with. It was heartbreaking to see the revelation take place. On the other hand, while I had no shotgun I certainly did blow Mrs. Wood away. Ahahahahahah I’m so clever haha heh eh tehehehe ha Oh man...

Yeah I definitely spent too much time on this, but I know there are a few curious people out there. Well the chemistry worksheet worked for me. I encourage others to try this as well. I got my success with a balancing through half-reactions worksheet. Next time, if I’m really feeling bold, I might just step it up a notch and try a math worksheet. But I don’t know for sure. It seems a little too crazy right now, but with luck by the time Winter and Prom come around, I have reason to believe that the worksheet method will become the Macarena of dance askage.

A special thanks to Angela Hsieh (The girl I asked to homecoming) ((She said yes)) (((Sweet!!!)))

And really, thanks for being a good sport, and I’m sorry if it was too embarrassing for you. Homecoming should be a blast. Thanks again, Angela!
