The Blue Rose.
One day Kevin, Joe, And Nick were walking through the halls of Horace Mantis. Stella and Macy were walking right behind them when all of a sudden Stella jumps out in front of them and stops them.
"Guys do you see what I see?" Stella asked anxious.
"Oh yea." Kevin says acting like he's cool.
"What am I looking at?" Stella asked not sure if the Kevin was really seeing what she was seeing.
"A chocolate chip cookie, of course." Kevin said with his mouth open.
"No, don't you see the fliers everywhere?" Stella asked so excited.
"What fliers?" Joe asked.
"The fliers that are looking for some people to help set up for the Valentine's Day dance." Stella said.
"What about them?" Nick asked.
"We should join." Stella said.
"What? No I'm a guy. Guys don't decorate." Joe said trying to act tough.
"I think it would be fun." Kevin said in a joyful tone.
"See, Kevin's doing it too!" Stella exclaimed.
"I'll do it." Nick said.
"I'll help too!" Macy said joyfully.
"Well I'm not going to get left out so I'll do it, but only because I'm not going to be out shined by my brothers!" Joe said.
"Good. Now I'll go talk to whoever is in charge and tell them we'll help." Stella hurried off before class started.
The boys immediately thought if I'm going to help decorate the dance I'm going to have to go to it. I can't go alone I'll have to talk to Stella about it.
At lunch Kevin, Joe, and Nick rushed to Stella and asked who should they take to the dance. Stella looked happy.
"Don't worry guys, at the dance every guy will have a different color rose on and every girl will have a different color dress on. If the color rose and the color of the dress are the same that's your date." Stella exclaimed.
"Oh, that makes sense." They boys said in unison.
"The director in charge of the dance has put me in charge of the decorations and the matching." Stella told them.
"After school we need to meet up in the gym and get a list of everything we need so we can go shopping and start decorating." Stella announced.
"I need ice cream." Kevin told her.
"I mean decorations and flowers!" Stella said frustrated with Kevin.
"Oh." Kevin said. After school Stella, Macy, Kevin, Nick, and Joe all met up in the gym and made the list. They decided that Nick and Macy would go get the flowers, Joe and Stella would get the decorations and Kevin would go tell what color dress the girls were supposed to where. When they got back from what they were assigned to Stella told Nick and Macy to put the flowers in the closet. She told Kevin and Joe to bring the decorations from the car and open them up in here. When they got done with that Stella put Joe and Kevin in charge of the streamers. She put Nick in charge of getting the tables out and she put Macy in charge of putting the hearts everywhere. After they were done Stella made the list of who had what color rose. Then, Stella gave some to Macy, Nick, Joe, and Kevin. Then, gave them a fraction of the list and turned them out into the school while she got the plates and cups out. When they returned they were all set for the dance tomorrow night. Everyone collapsed they were so tired. They decided to all go over the guys house and watch a movie and eat popcorn. When they got there Stella took Macy upstairs to show her the dress she had made for her. Nick followed to see what they were doing. Stella went inside the Stellavator and took out a blue dress.
"Wow! Stella this is so pretty!" Macy exclaimed.
"I knew you'd love it!" Stella said jumping up and down. Nick realizing that he was the one with the same color rose as the dress ran gasped and ran downstairs.
Macy seeing Nick run away asked, "Why did suddenly run away?" She asked Stella.
"I don't know." Stella replied knowing that Nick had seen the color of the dress.
"Well, let's go downstairs and watch the movie." Macy said still excited over what her dress looked like. When they got downstairs Joe walked up to Stella.
"Hey Stella, What color dress are you wearing?" Joe asked.
"Nice try, Joe, but it has to be a secret." Stella replied.
By the end of the movie everyone was asleep considering how hard they had worked that day. When they all woke up they laughed so hard about falling asleep in the movie, except for Joe, he wouldn't admit that he had fallen asleep.
"What time is it?" Macy asked.
"6:15." Nick answered.
"Oh no, I have at school in 15 minutes for track!" Macy exclaimed getting up. Stella got up in a hurry.
"That is why I always keep an extra pair of everybody's clothes just in case of an emergency. Like Kevin ripping his pants on power slides!" Stella said glaring at Kevin while handing Macy the extra pair of clothes she had of hers.
"Thanks Stella! Your a lifesaver!" Macy exclaimed.
"We all need to get up and get ready any way." Stella said reaching into her bag for her extra pair of clothes.
45 minutes later
After Macy got done with track she met up with Stella.
"Hey Stella!" Macy exclaimed hurrying to catch up with her best friend.
"Hey Macy! Can you wait till tonight?" Stella asked.
"I'm so excited I couldn't concentrate on track. I'll probably be like that the rest of the day." Macy said excitedly. The day passed on and they hardly talked the rest of the day. At the end of school everyone rushed out to go get ready for the dance.
4 hours passed
Stella, Macy, Nick, Joe, and Kevin all arrived at separate times so they wouldn't see the color of their dresses and roses. When they got in there Joe noticed that he was paired up with Stella. Kevin was paired up with a girl from Texas named Nikki. Nick noticed he was paired up with Macy, but tried to avoid her through the whole dance.
2 hours passed
Macy walked over to where Stella was standing.
"Stella, did you match me up?" Macy asked.
"Of course I did." Stella said.
"Well then why haven't I found him yet? Do you think he didn't come?" Macy cried.
"I don't know I thought you had found him. I know he's here because I saw him come in. How about you go get some punch, I'm going to go talk to him." Stella said walking. Stella started walking through the crowd when she spotted Nick. She went up to him.
"Nick, Why are you alone?" Stella asked like she didn't know he wasn't with Macy.
"Uh." Nick panicked. "I haven't found her yet."
"You've been here for 2 hours you've had to have found her she sitting in a chair crying her eyes out!" Stella yelled at him. She walked away. Nick didn't realize he would hurt her that bad. He went off to find her. Nick went right up to Macy.
"Can I have this dance?" He asked hoping she would still talk to him. Macy looked up. Her smile widened.
"Hi, Nick!" Macy said looking at his flower realizing it was the same color as her dress. "Of course." They walked out on the dance floor. After the song was over the dance was nearly over. They just stood there still dancing even though there wasn't any music. Then they stopped. Nick looked down into Macy's eyes and kissed her. They spent most of the night dancing. Over in the corner Stella sat with Joe.
"Awwwww......" Stella exclaimed. She looked at Joe and the next thing she knew he was kissing her. From then on they were all happy together.
