Everyone turned to see who Sarah Taylor was pointing at. As it turned out, it was that Goth boy Trevor Blake. He stood up, looking perturbed. But then he went up to the stage, just as Jennifer had asked.
Sarah raised her hand up and pointed to another person. The second person to be picked was the jock Danny Foster. He stood up, looking a little embarrassed, but just like Trevor, he still made his way up to the stage.
Another person was pointed at. This one was the nerd Kyla Leeson. She stood up, looking a little pleased.
