When its time to eat he gives the napkin to jasmine with the card. Jasmine likes the football quarterback more so she says that her friend Shanene got the note from Kadijah. Then she finds that the football quarterback is with someone else. So in the end Jasmine’s friend gets asked out by kadijah but Jasmine doesn’t get a date for Saturday and feels sad, and left out because everyone else is happy.
