STRIKE!
Bowling might seem like a bad idea when the first three times you go to roll the ball you accidentally throw it behind you into a group of grungy college guys who laugh and stare and point. The bad feeling gets worse when your friend takes out her digital camera and the last thing you want is to have your picture taken when you're flushed and embarrassed and still have yet to knock over any pins. The many consecutive gutter balls don't help either. But some kisses on the forehead by a certain boy make the entire situation better in about two seconds, and for some reason the rest of the gutter balls and poor shots seem far less important when he says sweet things into your hair when he knows you feel like an imbecile.
