Your best friend asked you to go to a special awards banquet with him on Friday night. Rumor has it he will receive the Most Valuable Player award at the end of the banquet, so you know this is a big deal and worth sitting through the entire banquet. You are so proud of your friend that you gladly accept his invitation. While you re getting ready to go to the banquet, another friend calls to see if you want a ride to a party that s happening the same night. Apparently, the person you ve had a crush on will be at this party, and you really want to be there. You decide to ditch your friend s awards banquet and go to the party instead.
