If she could just hold his attention for the entire night, perhaps she'd be able to get the upperclassmen out of her hair. She didn't want to flirt, didn't want to have to be someone she wasn't to keep his attention, that was the reason why she was in this predicament with the seniors to begin with! Maybe a different approach, maybe she could try actually being herself for a change.... Maybe.
