In "The Party" the main character, Herman, goes to a party and meets his crush. But at the party he did not expect so many other kids there, and when he finally gets alone time with her, his hair stands up and ruins it all for him. The rest of the night he has to watch in horror as his dream girl dances and talks to anyone but him.

I would have to ask him if flipping his hair to the other side was really necessary. Also I would have not asked her to go back out to the garage because that just sounds creepy.
