"Ken? You all good man?"

Steve flinched, but the idea of going to prom with Stephanie gave him the courage to speak up once more. "Look man, I need you to go to the prom with Sarah. That's the only way Steph will go with me."

"Absolutely not."
"W—What!? Come on man, I really need this."
Ken resisted the urge to smack his idiot friend over the head. Since they were now driving, and he wouldn't be able to control his strength, it would put them both in danger.
