Complete story — includes the ending
Both being dateless for the upcoming school dance, Kevin and lab partner Linda Sloan ( Maia Brewton ) agree to go to the dance "as friends." But soon after, Kevin's latest crush, a girl with a Southern accent named Susan Fisher ( Kelly Packard ), asks him to save a dance for her. This now puts Kevin in a predicament as he is now torn between Susan and Linda as to whom to spend more time with at the dance. Kevin lets Linda dance with Steve Padway (Andy Howard), a boy who has a crush on Linda, while Kevin dances with Susan; but Kevin unfortunately has nothing to have a conversation with Susan about afterwards and she therefore finds her ex-boyfriend Donald Wallach (Sean Wohland) and they get back together. Kevin inadvertently hurts Linda's feelings by still pining for Susan. He apologizes, but their mutual feelings of embarrassment had changed their friendship. She chooses to go off and dance with Steve again. Meanwhile, after a short break-up, Paul and Carla get back together, now making Kevin feel totally left out. Now alone, Kevin searches for another free girl to dance with. Coincidentally, it just so happens that Winnie shows up at the dance, also dateless. But unfortunately, while searching for dance partners, both Kevin and Winnie miss seeing each other and Kevin finally leaves the dance.
