Girl turned down Harris for prom date

Six days before he killed his classmates, Eric Harris tried to get a date to
the prom.
But the girl turned him down.
"I hadn't planned on going to the prom. It was late notice," said Brandi
Tinklenberg, a junior at Columbine. "It was nothing against Eric. He was always
really sweet to me."
It wasn't the only rejection Harris endured that week. The next day, he was
turned down by the Marines.
In the days after the shooting, Brandi wondered if she helped drive Harris to
his dark side.
"I did wonder if I made him more upset about life. But he had it planned for a
long, long time," Brandi said. "... He was already upset about life."
Brandi said she and Harris were in the same video productions class. Whenever
she walked into class, he'd smile and say hello.
On April 14, a girl in the class approached Brandi.
"She said Eric was interested in going with me to the prom and asked, 'Are you
interested?' I said, 'No, not really."'
Harris watched from the other side of the room.
"It was kind of odd that he had somebody ask me when he was right there. I
figured maybe he was too shy or embarrassed."
Brandi said she saw Harris in her video class two or three more times.
"When I would walk in, he would turn his head the other way," she said. The two
never spoke again.
Brandi said she usually studies in the school library on Tuesday mornings.
But April 20, she went to a tanning salon instead.
"It makes me wonder if he would have spared me because he liked me," Brandi
said, "or if he wouldn't have because I said no."

How does a HS kid get to go to a tanning salon on a school day?
Were there two shifts?

Well, thank goodness she has her priorities straight.

Hi,
I'm not sure about this, but I think I remember some news
show last week reported that she said she drove into one
of the school parking lots with the intention of attending
a class, heard explosions and gunshots, and spent the rest
of the time hiding in her car.

Attendance seems to have been a low priority.
