Winter Formal Stress!!

So, I am getting ready for winter formal, it's a girl ask guy dance at my high school. Last weekend I was going to ask this kid to formal, so I called his mom and she was gonna help me ask and everything and then a half-hour before I was gonna go and ask, she calls me and tells me that something just got dropped at their house and he'd been asked. So, I was pretty bummed about that, but then this weekend my friend sent me a text that said "You can ask him, I think!! A girl from another school asked him I'm pretty sure." but then I'm thinking, how sure is pretty sure. So Ashely decides that we should leave right then and ask him so we drive to his house and we get there and his house has a gate that you have to buzz into. So we decide to call his mom, as we sit in the driveway, and then I realize that there is a light shining on my car. Oh, no worries, it's just his family trying to get into their driveway!! So, we pull out and zoom off, and then someone starts following us, from his house. It was horribly embarrassing! but, I'm really nervous about asking without Ashely here to help. It should be a great adventure, I'll keep you posted!! :)
