If you made it through high school, you are probably aware of how brave you must be to ask someone to a dance. especially if you’ve never done it before and aren’t a popular person.
Dakota Nelton, a Sophomore in High school from Gray, Louisiana, found the bravery to ask his friend to their school’s homecoming dance. He had never asked a lady out before, so it was a big thing for him and it challenged his resolve greatly.
She refused as it stands. Okay, I see. She is permitted to. It’s not okay that their fellow students laughed and made fun of Dakota for being rejected because it happened in front of them. To make matters worse, they ruined the homemade poster he had prepared to propose by stepping all over it.
Dakota stepped away from his fellow students, desperately hoping for the ground to give way and swallow him whole. A situation from a child’s worst nightmare, he walked away to a loudness of laughter and boos.
He told WGNO New Orleans that ” The situation involved standing in a small circle with a single shake of the head and having to figure out how to get out of it.”
Then, just when he thought things was unable to worse, he noticed that everything that happened had been recording on camera. Someone posted the video to Facebook, where it received hundreds of views. Dakota was made fun of for merely attempting to get a date, and viewers from all around the US could see it.
The Final Laugh
A few days later, Dakota showed up at the school, unaware that he would soon take part in a very unforgettable incident.
He was passing through the hallway when a group of at least thirteen girls stopped him and held up a sign.
It turned out that the lady’s had come together to convince Dakota that he was deserving, loved, and had no need to doubt himself. They intended to propose him to come along with them!
Dakota smiled and stated, “I felt like one of the most popular students in school, which I’m really not.”
