Jeremy walked into the gymnasium. He surveyed the room. This was the first dance of the year for his middle school. But no one was dancing. Jeremy didn't understand.

The boys were huddled around the refreshment table at the other end of the room. Jeremy walked to the refreshment table. He poured some punch into a paper cup. He asked his friend Brad why no one was dancing. Brad said that nobody wanted to be the first person to go over there. He made a motion toward the girls across the room. Brad also said that no one wanted to be the first person on the dance floor. Jeremy nodded. He knew what he had to do. He had to be the one to make the first move.
